No, really. No reps, just 4 attempts, you think you can go higher than 210? I can already place an order with CPW for a #4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can already place an order with CPW for a #4! No need. I can bring choked 212,216,220 CPWs. Gil will probably need them. Me? Depends mostly on the day. I have only rarely played with choked grippers. Better safe than sorry I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure @climber511 noticed this too. 56lbs. This is the highest difference I have personally seen between 20mm block set and choked to parallel. It is my brother-in-law Tim. He doesn't train grippers, so that makes a big difference, but he was not exactly new to them either when I tested him about 5 years ago. Tim closed my 81lb #1 with a 20mm block and after a good rest, he closed my easiest #3 - 137lbs - that was choked to parallel. His best TNS close (84lbs) was slightly higher than the 20mm block set close. He lost strength quickly on fiddling with the block. He is one of those guys (in all strength tests) that tests poorly on "slow strength" and is way more suited to a very short maximal effort test. This carried over even to grip tests with him. His grip strength is pretty high, but his ability to sustain a near-maximal effort is very low. I have seen him pull 215lbs on the 2" vbar on his first attempt - about an inch off the floor and then it slips out of his hand. Multiple times in a row. Same with 20lbs less. I had to take almost 45lbs off the bar for him (even with adequate rest periods) for him to get a contest-legal lift. He also got about the same movement on 306lbs on the 1" vbar about 10 years ago when he tried it after seeing it sitting in my garage loaded up to that weight. I was lazy for a while and just left that weight on there when I was pulling high 300lbs and low 400lbs on occasion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
