Did you close the #3 under certification conditions, or unofficially?
-
I worry more about my wife's grip strength.
-
Any of you guys able to close the #4 IronMind gripper? http://www6.mailordercentral.com/ironmind/products.asp?dept=8
I closed the #3 a couple years ago, but haven't tried #4.
bullshit, your forearms don't look big enough to close a number 2 let alone a 3.

I saw a video of some kid hub lifting a 45 pound plate about 3 feet off the floor. I still dont understand how he did it.
-
If you closed a #3 Garraeth you are in some select strongman company.
-
I don't know anything about those grippers but back when I worked forearms I could grip 2 45's facing each other (smooth side out) for over 20 seconds with one hand.

Keith,
Did you ever try a plate curl? Simply grab a 25 lb plate over the edge with your thumb on the top side and your four fingers on the bottom then slowly perform a curl without any swinging upward.
Things become harder very fast when a 35 lb plate is tried.
A plate wrist curl is even harder.

is that the gripper which Gunter almost closed, and is the closest man to do so?

I think Gunther closed a #3 and over 100 have been certified for having done that...only a couple have closed the #4...was only 1 guy ever for like 5-10 years...its all on the ironmind site

i have never put that much thought into my grip.

Look at Milo sometime. They put pics of people who close #4. They are ALWAYS little puny 150lb guys. Size doesn't matter w/ regard to this...
how come you didn't get a pic and send it in to Randy Strossen?
-

Good point...or send it to bodybuilding.com...maybe you could be this months "mash monster" hahaha
-
lets put it this way i know a dude who could deadlift 650 with both hands overhand and shaking hands with him was like shaking hands with a bunch of bananas that could squeeze and he couldn't get the #3 within a half inch of being closed.

Using a standard gripper and a racquetball worked for me. High reps with both.

I held my own while working out with Flemming Rasmusson at the '98 WSM...
This may derail the thread a bit but can you detail how your strongman training differs from your normal gym routine? Do you lay off the weights and devote all your time to the stuff you do in competition?

Joe, how many of the guys in the Strongman circuits have closed a #4? Has Phil Pfister?

I do not keep up with gripper lists; last I heard only 5 men in the world have closed a #4 under official conditions.
Maybe the answer is here:
http://ironmind.com/ironcms/export/IronMind/Main/crushedtodust.html
or ask at the GripBoard- those guys keep current, and have their own Mash Monster series of gripper closings- tougher than Ironmind's as I understand it.
-

Yep, 5 as Joe mentioned. Magnus Samuelsson is probably the most well known.
-
Joe I never tried it but I will this weekned if I remember to see if I can do it.
