I guess in the video he says he first picked them up at 16 and it took him a month to close the #3, training every other day. Said he got close to the #3.5. That would have been 2010-2011. Seems like he could have 10 years under his belt now (who knows what kind of frequency though). But all that ties out because it sure did look like a piece of cake

@Bigfoot Gripjust read through some of the posts here so far and saw the list of feats you’d like to pull off. Just wondering do you have any feats or prs you’re trying to set/closing in on in the near future?

He almost closed it the first time he tried. A few years ago. He’s been doing grip/arm wrestling stuff ever since then. Should be a piece of cake for him now.

Last time I seen Larry mess with grippers he missed the #3 so I was kinda surprised. Guess he's been working on it though.

21/09/19 Did some lifts with the wrist wrench. It wasn't fun. I need to make another one, this one is way too slick. Only way I can get even a decent grip on it is by using water on my hands. Which doesn't give a good grip but it's the best possible solution. Going to make one with knurling. Training will be way more consistent and also way more safe. Also did some sandbag lifts. I've made a very simple training plan I will try to follow for 6 weeks. Only bodyweight exercises and some sandbags and dumbbells. Plus grip training,

Would have been Kind of sad if they couldn’t close a number 3. Wouldn’t expect anything less.

Here is a pic of the nail pile.

Bent 831 60d nails today! Will do a proper right up tomorrow. Body is destroyed now.

Sets like these are the ones that actually build the best strength. I’m not a big fan of doubles and singles unless you do 5+ sets of them. regardless, strong benching! Your an elite bencher with the double BW territory. also, no need at all to explain the 408. My plates are calibrated as well and my setup with 4 plates a barbell and 2 collars comes to exactly 407. So I get it. I saw you enquired about being from Texas. I am as well. If you ever decide to come up and do a grip session with Adam and Tanner, be fresh for bench and I’ll bench with you. Actually have an awesome bench setup at the house with calibrated plates, a Fat Pad, and a rack with safety pins. I’ve got elbow sleeves, wrist wraps, slingshots, you name it.

Right? Kind of upset he didn't give the 3.5 a try

Very very strong

Man they killed the #3. Wheels closed it so easily he had to check he had the right number.

Videos long so here's around when they start each thing Dynometer at 1:55 Grippers at 4:55 Pinch block at 10:50 Hub at 16:40 RGT at. 22:22 Arm wrestling at 27:45

Larry and Loz do some grippers, block pinch, hub, grip genie RGT and arm wrestling. Both pretty easily close the #3.

Thought I would give an update on my bench progress... Note I am taking my training and progression slowly to avoid injury. 355 x 2 paused (missed 3rd rep), 355x1 Finished with 285x9 for volume work Going for 408 in 5 weeks at sub-200 pound/ 91 kilo bodyweight. Currently hovering around 197 pounds / 89 kilos. Some may ask how the number 408 was derived - I will be using calibrated steel plates.

Yes those are not ideal at all. The handle is too skinny. The thicker handle kettle bells for the best for It. Really good wrist and crush component in my opinion And the shoulder complex stability and coordination...

All I have are the Competition style KBs - they're a lot harder than something like Dragon Door etc. with the thicker handles

Yes I think it should be a correct estimate in general unless you have small hands. I once met a guy who had at the day about 30 lbs more strength with grippers than me but couldn't beat me on dynamos. Because he have smaller hands. So I think something like the baseline dynamo is a better option since you can adjust the handles. However it won't necessarily work for everyone even in that case.

Yes definitely get one. It's always best to have low expectations on everything then you can surprise yourself. As I said you could be better with dynamos than with grippers. You only know once you have tried. Your hand size shouldn't be a problem. It's a fun thing to try as well. To me it's like a grip toy I don't use if for something useful, it's just for fun.

Started doing these yesterday, they feel like they will be really good for wrist and hand control. Hi reps with moderate weight plus you get more bang for your buck with shoulder, triceps and core work.

The fight had not happened yet. Happens in three and a half hours after I post this comment.

Thank you Mike! Thank you Joe! Thanks Anar! The advice is accepted and done. Thanks Adam! Your`s with Tanner Merkle walk Inch very motivated my for this event!

I think the grip machine is a better choice to compare numbers to a dyno…as long as there isn’t any lifting of the grip machine- just squeezing. they both test with the handles parallel which gives the stronger fingers the wheel…so to speak.

Let the WWE outcome commence...
