I think the only debate in this topic is surrounding the "visual" appearance of such musculature or development. Not everyone has the exact same muscular development as Ivan Cuk - who visually has the 'ideal' build in his hand and forearms for crushing strength. No one would ever question his strength, because he looks like the exact type of person who could crush No. 4s. The size of his fingers, wrist, thenar and hypothenar muscles, and what I believe is the flexor digitorum profundus (I've not studied anatomy in depth, just guessing), all point to extreme crushing strength. Dubya and Derek also have similar development in their hands and forearms. Nothing shocking about their strength. A recent example of someone who does not look like they visually have extreme crushing strength is Anton Kopylov in his recent GM150 result of 140.3 kg. His forearms and hands look relatively small. He looks like he could maybe hit 110 kg at best on the GM150. Generally the visual cues are representative of probable strength, but perhaps looks don't tell the entire story. Also, perhaps muscular hypertrophy and mass are more prevalent as a result of torsion spring gripper training than with dynamometer training. -

A few years ago everybody would have said Yves is too small to lift the inch dumbbell and they'd all be wrong. Size is of course a factor in strength but it definitely isn't the only factor, you can make a muscle stronger or weaker without changing its size at all this isn't even controversial. For the extreme cases like a 140lb guy closing a #4 I agree that's totally impossible, but a 3.5 for someone over 200lbs isn't exactly rare. Enough people have closed a gripper with an RGC above bodyweight for us to know it's not remotely impossible, it's just very hard -

Can be! Stainless varies even more than crs, even before the crush. I've reversed 7mm square in IMPs to like 70-80 degrees in one hit (very soft stainless), yet struggled with some 5/16" round in thicker leather singles DU (super hard stainless). Alex actually fully bent one of these evil things DO (he got it from Phil who got it from me), at 8.4mm in diameter. It's no joke to put that bar to sub 2". And on the topic: when I still DUd in doubles, I failed the 8.8 three times, and I managed to do it once but took me more than 5 minutes. -
