Shoggoth Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 At the end just slapping his finger down is pretty damn impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I read somewhere on the internet that he suffered from Acromegaly growing up. Not sure if its true but it would make sense. He has all the signs with those hands and forehead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kashtan Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Cyplenkov close CoC#3. Him crush grip and supportive grip - it is not the strongest side.When he addressed the strongman, he had a weak point - supporting grip, he could not bring the farmer often. Because of this, he was 9th in the ranking of the most powerful Strong Russia. I think his greatest strength - Pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellswindstaff Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm not going to take up the challenge, but does anyone know of a method to train the thumb to push forward because that wasn't totally closing pressure with his thumb.

But reporters had to somehow show his strength. Here journalists and invented this trick. They do not know that there is competition on the strength of pinch grip, and a force that seemed to be there, in the fingers Dennis immediately calls attention.

hellswindstaff Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Kashtan... Any idea of how he trains his pinch grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopholes Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 That's awesome! I was thinking of trying that... But i think the walnuts that we have in my backyard are different. They look much harder than the ones used in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florian Kellersmann Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nice work, mudhutmasher! Finally someone to take the challenge! What about the trick at the end of the video of Denis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellswindstaff Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 after seeing this, i thought id give it a go. being that i dont have any walnuts laying around, i remembered i could do this. http://youtu.be/dOPRVYAAoNs i'll pick up some walnuts tommorrow and do those as well. i said i would do this, so here it is. strict form and all, just as Denis did. http://youtu.be/4N6lX0oDQp4 for the record, i have no doubt that Denis would tear my arm off its hinges if we were to armwrestle.. but, this is a hand strength feat.. and this challenge came to the right place. and... crushing the smartie was harder.. Very nice. I think that John Brooksfield had this as a challenge in one of his books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
