Tim Ferriss Package of Favorite Products Features Captains of Crush Trainer
By Elizabeth M. Hammond

A first for IronMind, the CoC Trainer was included in the box of personal favorites hand selected by Tim Ferriss—Renaissance man, author, and entrepreneur.  In case this idea is new to you, Quarterly Co. teams up with well-known personalities to offer packages of their favorite products to subscribers on a quarterly basis. 

Tim Ferriss’s packages are based on themes, with the driving concept being “ . . . obsession—the ideas and objects I just can’t get out of my head,” and a Captains of Crush gripper was one of the items that Tim had personally chose for this elite selection. 

Captains of Crush are the gold standard of grippers, known worldwide by grip strength aficionados for two decades; and more and more people are discovering these top training tools for grip strength and hand health. 

Captains of Crush grippers are the perennial number one best seller at Amazon in its category of nearly 1,000 hand strengthener products, as well as being ranked number one for highest average customer reviews in this category.  The Captains of Crush No. 4 gripper—which is the toughest of the 11 CoC models and has not been officially closed since 2004—was pictured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal last year, indicating the breadth of its renown. 

“The Captains of Crush Trainer is the perfect challenge for people who have outgrown plastic-handled, sporting goods store grippers but are not quite ready to crush a raw potato in their bare hands,” said Randall Strossen, president of IronMind.


Tim Ferriss is a well-known speaker and media personality, and the New York Times has called him “a cross between Jack Welch and a Buddhist monk.”   Ferriss is the author of the book Four-Hour Body, among others, and you can follow his blog, where you can see the video that accompanies each package—including Tim Ferriss's comments about what he finds so appealing about Captains of Crush grippers.
