Atomgripz Band Ratings

The Atomgripz Band Rating System will help you determine which gripper level is right for your training needs.

1-Band
Around 90% of active gentlemen will be able to close a 1-Band on their first attempt without any prior grip specific training.
This is a great warm up gripper to get the blood pumping. This can also be used for hand conditioning and rehabilitation.
If you can rep a 1-Band three times, it is time to move up to the 2-Band.

Who can close a 1 Band?
Ace Ventura  - Ace Ventura Pet Detective

George McFly - Back to the Future

Harry Potter - Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

Frodo Baggins - The Lord Of The Rings

2-Band
Around 40% of active gentlemen will be able to close a 2-Band gripper on their first attempt. If you train with weights or your occupation requires strong hands, you have a good chance of closing a 2-band on your first attempt.
The 2-Band is a great gripper for building serious hand strength and performing high repetitions at this level will help to develop muscles in the hands and forearms.
If you can rep the 2-Band 3 times, it's time to move up to the 3-Band.

Who can close a 2-Band?
Indiana Jones - Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom

Axel Foley - Bevery Hills Cop

Daniel LaRusso - The Karate Kid

Luke Skywalker - Star Wars

3-Band
Now things get tough! Around 1% of active gentlemen will be able to close a 3-Band on the first attempt without any prior grip specific training.
If you are able to close a 3 band, you can be confident in knowing you have a great grip strength that will carryover into strength training and day-to-day life.
Regular training with the 3-Band will strengthen and build muscles in the hands and forearms.
If you can rep a 3-Band three times, it's time to move up to the 4 band.

Who can close a 3-Band?
Rocky Balboa - Rocky

Chong Li - Bloodsport

Lee - Enter The Dragon

Kurt Sloane - Kickboxer

4-Band
We don't believe that any gentlemen will be capable of closing a 4 band without prior specific grip training. Closing a 4 band puts you at an elite level of grip strength. This feat will require years of dedicated training and will be the final achievable level for most.
If you can close a 4-Band, you'll have a level of grip strength that most will never achieve.
If you can close the 4 band and hold the handles closed for 3 seconds, it's time to try the 5 band.

Who can close the 4 Band?
John Matrix - Commando

Ivan Drago - Rocky 4

 Bane - The Dark Knight Rises

The Mountain - Game Of Thrones

5-Band
The 5 band will be unclosable to all gentlemen that do not have elite level grip training. While we believe the 5 band is closable, there may only be a few people on earth with the grip strength to perform the feat.
If you can close a 5 band, you have the stongest grip humanly possible. Do not shake hands with others at this level.

Who can close a 5 Band?

Thanos - End Game

 Mr Incredible - The Incredibles

 Luke Cage - Luke Cage

 T-800 - The Terminator 

6 Band Reaper
The Reaper will destroy your dreams and take your soul.

Who can close the reaper?

Hahahahaha! No-one.
