Closed the CoC 2.5 with both hands

My results comport with yours.  My best right hand gripper close is the MM2, RGC probably low 160s, and I did 242 pounds (about 110kg) on the baseline dynamometer, which seems to go hand in hand (pun intended) with you closing 170 pounds RGC and 115kg dynamometer.  And I was present when Chez, who closes RGC 200, registered 280+ dyno, or 127-ish kg.  My left, which I train much less, is significantly weaker in both regards, about 140 RGC and 95kg dyno.  So it looks like a proportion of something like 3 to 2 dyno to gripper rating (obviously this is not a rule, just a rough correlation).

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.

 

 

I'll try to get my hands on one asap, thanks for the input!
