Started with gripper training a few months back, I started on the Heavy Grips 100 (note: although it says 100lbs of resistance it's not as hard to close as a CoC1, apparently you can't compare ratings from different companies!). This provided plenty of resistance, and I still use it for most of my training. I initially started on GTG but felt that my hands got overworked pretty easily so since then I've swapped to just doing ladders a couple times a week. I can close a HG200 now for a few reps. Personally, I'd start with a trainer.
