      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.

      In terms of a needing to have a “certain look” to do extraordinary feats, I imagine the best living example of proof that it is not “necessary” is Dennis Rogers. Dennis cannot close a Number 3 Captain of Crush. I am sorry, but I don't remember where I read that, so I cannot cite it. i have never heard or read a bad word about Dennis from anyone: Strength-wise, or as a person, including some of the most legitimately skeptical strength and grip specialists. It is interesting that his name does not come up more often on this forum these days.

      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.
