Captains of Crush

[Ursus]

First please keep this on the main board as its not just dtrongman orientated.

has anyone tried these. what number can u close. mate has the trainer and number 1. can close easy as hell, but thats cos they are baby ones. been told by a guy who has the 2 i would easily be able to do it.

how many ppl can do the 3?

You haven't closed the #2 until you've actually done it.

grippers adonis. only like 2 men have ever closed the number 4, the highest grade.

dont u try u will only hurt urself kiddo.

[Ursus]

also the thing about these are they test ur cruching grip, a grip which very few ppl actually train. its much different from ur supporting grip, ie just holding weight. they are cool im gonna train them c how i get on

[ribonucleic]

My wife worked her way up to #3.

She gives a hell of a handjob.

[The Squadfather]

i've clicked the handles of the number 2 togther for a millisecond so i don't ever say that i've "closed it", i consider closing it to be holding the handles together for at least half a second, having said that not many people in the world have ever closed a number 3.

[dr.chimps]

Did the #1 no probs. Started the #2, no probs until I got about 1/2 cm to closing it and then it stopped. Just couldn't do it; must have been defective. Never tried it again. 

[The Squadfather]

by the way even though my grip strength has increased on traditional barbell and dumbbell back exercises i don't think i could come within half an inch on the #2 right now because i haven't been training it.

[El Diablo Blanco]

I closed the #4 not too long ago ( not video taped ).  I started with the Heavy grips and closed up to 350.  I'll tell you this.  WHen I started I closed the 200 with ease 15 times.  Then tried the 250 and only got 2 reps, I couldn't even budge the 300s.  I worked on my grip by pinching weight, wrist curls, bar with string and wieght and closed the 350s after a year.  I then got the captains of CRUSH  I never did a verified test because I do it for myself and not to join some group of hand crunchers.

That #2 is a BIG jump.
I can close the #1 20 times from a one hand grab off a table pretty easily.....the number 2 from a one hand grab....is a hard 1 or 2, and if I'm not serious, I won't even get one.
Place the #2 in your hand with the other hand, and I can get around 3-5.  

I don't think I could even get close with the #3, even with a two hand placement.  
I've never tried it though

good strength Justin, this goes to show you guys how hard closing these grippers is, Justin deadlifts 635 for 5 and probably close to 700 for 1 and even he can't close a number 3, that thing is brutal.

Yeah, I can't imagine the #4....especially with the one hand pick up rule they have now. 
Have you ever seen anyone from the mash monsters board?  There are some grip freaks there.

[Ursus]

yes he is strong as a bull but as i sed its a much different type of strength.

like just cos u are very very strong on negatives on bench press for example anbd can do 500lbs controlled does not mean at all u can press 500lbs. does this make sense?

grip strength is awesome lol

[The Squadfather]

yeah, the first guy to ever close it was a guy from Tennessee named Joe Kinney who was maybe 175-180 pounds soaking wet but this dude's grip was INSANE.

Oh, I thought Captains of Crush was a new version of Captain Crunch cereal.  I almost got excited.

i'll gaurantee you Adonis could come close to shutting a number three, he has strong hands forged through honest hard labor in the hills of North Carolina and 600 pound deadlifts.

[Ursus]

different types of grip.

also u get certified if u close the number 3. its for real grip experts. probaly less than 0.00001% of all weight trainers can close it.

tho adonis is strong
