Squeezus Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 So, I just got one of these things in the mail and decided to do a review of it. Check it out: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 It's definitely a quick event to run in a contest. At the Canadian Nationals, we used the second narrowest setting. Some people actually wanted to go wider. I didn't really care which setting we used, as long as everyone used the same one. 256 is quite a crush! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave murray Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 great stuff. is it ok to rain on your parade? no offence intended. 256 is magic. . but, the man or lady is supposed to be sitting down , forearm parallel to the floor . more evidence that a certain man did NOT close the #4. sorry, to any one i may or might offend.

Dude, why derail a good thread and an even better review? Don't hijack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthar Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Not a clinical test here. Looks good to me, great review. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Not bad - not bad at all :). I remember Richard Sorin had several dynos at the Arnold one year - having anyone willing take a squeeze or two - it would be neat to see all those results some time and see where that number stands. I imagine way up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Very good. Excellent! How do you do with second setting? I got around 231 pound on it. I know I can go more with the narrowest but for some reasons it hurts my wrist. Whats your best gripper close? RT? Pinch? If there a way to squeeze hard on the narrowest and aviod wrist pain? Anyone interested when i got second setting 231 I couldn't even close my easy #3. I was very near maybe 1/8 but no cigar. But I do it almost no set and I don't really train grippers. Just thick bar and pinch and really when I just get time. But now I can close the easy 3 again. I like thebidea of using this in a comp. But better electronic dyno or spring dyno as they can't be jerked. 11 hours ago, dave murray said: great stuff. is it ok to rain on your parade? no offence intended. 256 is magic. . but, the man or lady is supposed to be sitting down , forearm parallel to the floor . more evidence that a certain man did NOT close the #4. sorry, to any one i may or might offend.

dave murray Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 to all or anyone concerned. i a am not hijacking a thread or subject. only a simple observation. mr spock, = facts are facts. sorry if i offended any one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthar Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 It's just intended to be a fun "tool" to use. He was not trying to provide a clinical observation with use in that setting. No need to be so serious is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist of Fury Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Strong squeeze! They are too pricey for me, would never buy a dynamo with that pricetag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left it over at @MCrushetta's house, so I'll have to try it again when I get it back. My best gripper close is probably the 20mm blockset RGC 173 at the AZCGS 2016 competition. I don't really mess with the Rolling Thunder because I think it is a really inconsistent implement, but a year or so ago, I could pull 215ish on it. My best 1-hand pinch was on a 3" block and I pulled 96lbs on it. I have pulled 89.9lbs 1-hand on The Flask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're describing is how they're intended to be used in a clinical setting. I don't think you're allowed to "slam" into them either and that it needs to be a controlled crush so there isn't a spike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave murray Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 to Shoggoth, yes, i was not being picky, but rules are rules. 256 is a massive crush. anyway you look at it. all due respect to the man. if we all did things "perfectly" , no fun in that.

Geralt Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Interesting review @Squeezus. Do you think there is a correlation between this ROM and choked gripperwork? I can imagine the DM has much slippier handles? Would a knurled handle on the DM make difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there is definitely a correlation between the narrower settings on the dyno and choked grippers. The handles on the dyno were pretty slippery out of the box and my hands were sweaty, so I chalked them up and it helped some, but I imagine wrapping athletic tape around it like @freeondie would be much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) What kind of difference did you get with chalk? Never tried it (on the dyno I mean) Edited May 8, 2016 by wobbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbler Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Cool, good to know. I've been tracking for about a year, started at 127 and am at 156 now, so chalk might get me 5 lbs or so. Trying to keep things the same for reference, more interested in progress than max numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave murray Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 does one have to close a dyno from a credit card? or say a 25 mm gap.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 There is no movement, it's an isometric measurement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saw the video and know the baseline is hydraulic and can't move and then asking should we CCS or MMS it? Maybe I am wrong but you seem to ask very weird questions on this thread. How old are you?

Shoggoth Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I think Dave may have been asking just the width used to test (if it was the equivalent of the 20mm block or credit card). I might be off though. Text sometimes doesn't translate the intent well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
