Chez Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) Jedd Johnson loaned me his #4 to attempt so I gave it a go today. It rates 199.5 lbs RGC. I was out drinking late last night so not at my best but I think I got it today. I felt the handles touch. The only problem is my girl isn't use to filming closes so I think the best stills would have came when the gripper was out of frame. I tried holding it as long as I could while the gripper came back in frame. I think I got it on my second attempt also but I felt the handles touch on the first attempt. Here is the video of that first attempt and best stills I could get of the set and close. I'll give it a go again in two weeks to see if I can get a more convincing video.

I have been working hard in the gym to bring up my whole body’s strength to set these bigger grippers. I’m at my all time highest body weight. I want to weigh even more to chase the MM7 and 8. These grippers are also super hard on the hands. I ripped open my pinky again today after 3 #4 attempts and 3 super elites. I rubbed chalk in it to finish the workout Edited April 7, 2018 by Chez 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHP are great to train with becasue they have the rounded off edges, it's a bit of a shame they are not available in a wider range, like in the 190's for you. 8 hours ago, Wannagrip said: Heck, it takes a massive amount of hand strength to just SET a #4! True! Most people not so in to grip doesn't realize this. That is why you see some people look down on MMS. So good that you point it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
