      Today I started a different routine of 1 rep Coc 2 holds. I hold it completely shut for as long as possible which is an average of 25 sec and then once it opens a mm or more keep it held for as long as I can which is so far 41 sec total. Will this translate into closing the Coc 2.5 easier or the Coc 3 ? Will it increase my general RGC pounds or kg on the dynamometer ? Time will tell but I'm doing the holds to exhaustion and right after I measured with the dynamometer and got 60 kg approximately and my record is 83 kg when fresh. Will I see strength improvements? It's a new way of doing things and it stimulates me a lot especially in the cardio way. I've done 5 sets so far today and its like really intense. I hope to see some progress soon

      well I don't think CCS closes are the best to test the closing power, it is more of a display of dominion and technique over a gripper. MMS #3 is more forgiving than CCS #3 but elite nontheless

      Just as a potential reference, I have been an athlete my whole life (still am) I’m 36 years old and only just started training grippers this past January. The day I received my coc 5 piece set (T, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5) day one I could close the #2 and was about 3mm from closing the #2.5 (parallel set) not sure if you’re looking for average amongst sedentary individuals, or active individuals

      I would say that for trained people #2 is average, 2.5 is advanced , 3 is world class since only up to 300 people in the world have been certified with a ccs close by Ironmind. 3.5 is the elite of the world class. 4 is extreme elite of world class level. So rare
    • Scottex92
      I wouldn't count untrained people as average. I think a better indicator is what you can close after a year of training. IMO a #2 is pretty average, #2.5 starts to get heavy, then the #3 is advanced, #3.5 for elite and #4 world class.
