IronMind

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IronMind is a California-based company, founded in the late 1980s, that manufactures and sells a wide variety of strength training equipment, accessories and related materials. IronMind's president is Randall J. Strossen.

Perhaps their most popular product is the Captains of Crush line of hand grippers. The stronger models of these grippers offer levels of resistence far beyond the grippers that are typically found in sporting goods stores.

The ten models and their resistance levels are:

Guide - 60 lb.
Sport - 80 lb.
Trainer - 100 lb.
No. 1 - 140 lb.
No. 1.5 - 167.5 lb.
No. 2 - 195 lb.
No. 2.5 - 237.5 lb.
No. 3 - 280 lb.
No. 3.5 - 322.5 lb.
No. 4 - 365 lb.
IronMind runs a certification program for closing the #3 and #4 models. Only five people (Joe Kinney, Nathan Holle, David Morton, Tommy Heslep and Magnus Samuelsson) have been documented as closing the #4.

Another product from IronMind that gains lots of attention is the "Rolling Thunder" One-Handed deadlift apparatus. It has a thick handle that helps to train the grip.

IronMind compiles and publishes the quarterly strength journal MILO.
