  Grippers are a very useless tool to estimate someones crushing potential if you haven't trained them because it's a very technical skill to close them. I would say around 50% of the people who first try a grippers is not even holding the gripper in such a way it's even possible to close it at all, even if they were stronger than the Hulk himself. Therefore testing people with a dynamometer is a much better way for people who have no experience with grip training. There some variance in dynamometers of course but in general I would say that 50-70 kg / 110-155 lbs for an adult male should be considered average. I have tried quite a lot of people on dynamometers and for people who have never trained grippers I have never seen a number outside of this range.

  I always pinch everything I can if I get the opportunity. I also carry all my bags of groceries with pinky only for as long as possible. There's around 500 m to the grocery store for me so it can be quite a challenge sometimes depending on the weight, then I just add another finger when I really need to

  Thanks Matt! Yes it should not be a heavy grip. Another difference is the distance between the handles, some can TNS a real heavy grip 400 and there it is so enormous that even Mark Félix must not be able to grip them well. The gripper is completely new and I want to leave it as it is but the RGC seems huge, well above a coc 3.5 and no less than a coc 3 like a real one.
