The world’s leading system for building strong and healthy hands

Since we opened our doors in 1988, IronMind has led the charge in the grip world: developing new products; recognizing superior performance; and elevating its importance.

IronMind has made parallel contributions in hand health, helping people build strong and healthy hands and prevent, reduce, or eliminate hand pain.

As you explore the IronMind grip world—the land of Crushed-to-Dust!—remember that our products and training principles are dual purpose: they both lead to greater grip strength and to improved hand health, a double benefit.

In the early 1990s, IronMind presented the concept that grip strength was composed of 3 main movements: crushing, pinching, and supporting. While this framework was easy to grasp, as it were, it had its drawbacks, with overlaps and gaps in the 3 categories. It clearly needed an overhaul.

It was a lightbulb moment in 2009 when the Crushed-to-Dust!® (CTD) Cube was born. This system solved all the problems that the earlier crushing–pinching–supporting typology presented, with better direction and more accurate information about how IronMind’s grip tools and grip training aligned with its customers’ goals and applications.

The world of grip training had evolved hugely over the past 20 years and the time was ripe for a big leap forward in how we approached grip strength . . . the CTD Cube has taken grip strength into the 21st century.

Here it is, the CTD Cube for building superior grip strength and hand health. No matter what your grip application, the CTD Cube will help you target your training for top performance.
