Difficult, but Attainable. December 5, 2008
"Formidable," yes, but not impossible. The 2.0 is EXPONENTIALLY more difficult than even the 1.5, so approach this puppy with respect.
After working the 1.0, then the 1.5 for about 6 months, I felt I was ready for the 2.0. Almost, but not quite! I can 10-rep the 1.5 with no trouble, but can get the 2.0 to within only 1/2 an inch of closure, and that's with my dominant hand. (I've only had it 2 days). Back to the 1.5 drawing board for a while longer, but I'm confident it'll come.
Regardless, the CoC grippers have seriously increased my grip strength for weight training. I chuckle, now, when I see guys who can bench twice what I can wrapping straps around their wrists to do barbell shrugs at 250, or dumbbell shrugs with 90's. If they only knew!
 Captains of Crush No. 2 April 2, 2008
I have a C of C No. 1. I was able to close it a few times when I first got it and then went up to about 12 reps. I then bought the No. 2. I have had it almost a month and I still cannot close it completely. There is a big jump in level of effort between the No. 1 and the No. 2. I am considering getting the 1.5.
Wow. February 9, 2008
I still can't close this one, but that has nothing to do with the quality of this product. There is absolutely no other gripper that even remotely compares in quality. It's amazing.
It's all been said January 5, 2008
Great product. Does what it says. Do yourself a favor and buy these because you cannot get COC certified with anything else. And who wouldn't want to be certified in a category similar to Magnus Samuelsson and other strong men?
Actually when I got my #2 I was able to close it once the first time. Do yourself a favor like someone already mentioned, have #1 mastered by being able to do several sets of 10 of #1 or at least close to it. My personal goal is to close #3 some day and maybe beyond.
Do Not Start Here!! December 7, 2007

My personal COC grip strength progression has gone as follows.
COC Sport, COC Trainer, COC #1, and now, the COC #2. I have a #2.5 on order and I already own a #3 just for grins; keep in mind, the #3 is light years away from the #2.
Had I started with the #2 (as was suggested to me by an "expert") not only would I not have been able to close it to begin with, but my grip likely wouldn't have developed nearly as strong as it is today, having followed the proper progression.
There are a lot of people who think they should start with the #2.
Really, unless you're an absolute freak-of-nature beast- don't.
The #2 is the threshold for 'exceptional' hand strength. Once you get here, you can bet the farm that your hand strength is going to be superior to most any random person off the street. After conquering the #2, you can decide if you want to continue on the journey and shoot for "world class" hand strength via the #3.
As others have said, the COC #2 is just like all the other COC grippers. Top quality, super durable and high performance.
