The accessible on-ramp to the same training — 10th-generation refinement, rated Moderate (~V2).
Where it takes you: Best for people who want to take their grip strength from around V2 to the V6 to V7 range.
Training for Ninja Warrior? The Limiter 3 is the standard for the Vertical Limit obstacle in the Ninja Warrior world, and the 3.1 feels very close to it.
Assuming you’re free of injuries, individual results vary depending on many factors, including age, hydration, nutrition and prior training experience.

This is actually the 10th version of the Limiter i've designed so far. (Limiter 1 in 2016!) It is a slight improvement on the Limiter 3. The corner at the top of the lip has been filled in, making it a little more slopey, but it also spreads the load, instead of concentrating it on a small part of your fingertips.
Texture Change: Updated from the striated version, to a very fine 200 grit sandstone texture. It's grippy, but very fine.
This product can be fastened to just about any wood surface, including the doorway using #9 Star-Drive Deck Screws. (included)
If you are familiar with the Limiter 3, these are going to feel very close. For a beginner Vertical Limit / Pinch strength trainer, I really don't know how they could be improved!
My goal which I have finally accomplished, was to create a product that is easier than original obstacle called 'Vertical Limit'. I wanted to be able practice higher reps at lower intensity.
Get a pair for the door way, or get the 10 Pack and set up the full 20' obstacle for your gym!
