      Thanks John!  I have a good starting point now.  Thinking I'll pair this with one hand 2 7/8" Napalm Nightmare to lockout. Idea is to have deficit overload with a regular bar for general strength AND some tall loading pin work with a really wide handle to get some grip work in as well.

      I don't think there's really been any serious debate about this. Anyone with very basic knowledge understands this. I mean even with common sense you will understand this. The elephant is the strongest land animal, so it's not quantum physics we're talking about here. It's very simple to understand. Then there's always the internet pundits. But those people will always argue about everything, just to argue. It's probably the only way they can fill up their empty lives.

      Grip doesn't work like that. It's not like squat and deadlift where there are a lot of similarities to the lifts. Grip is much more specific than anything else. Squeezing a scale will not tell you anything at all when it comes to closing a gripper. It's completely diffrent types of stength/skill. It will tell you  a little bit how strong you fingers are in general but that's about it. Grippers are by far the worst way of testing someones grip strength if you're new to it because it's by far the most neurological thing in grip sport. It's like the olympic weigthlifting of grip. It's a super specific type of strength.

      As the classic stainless saying goes: “good job, only hardest part left” 🤣🤣🤣 But really, small decreases in stainless length make for massive in increases in crush difficulty. In general, at 6” I think it is a harder bend to complete than a 6” Horrido 8.8, and even more so if you got an evil batch!!!
