Mitch Kirchner Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Whats the strongest gripper u guys have seen or heard of a girl clossing? Most girls I have handed a gripper had trouble clossing a store boaght gripper. But these were girly girls. But I'm sure those weight lifing or bodybuilding women could close a #1. What do u guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 She is well known in strength circles. She was the first to close a #2, and also has closed a Super Master by the way. She is also my fiancee. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 She does lift. She was 3rd in the World Armwrestling champs in Poland in 2001 behind the Russians. Competed in the Glamazon World Strongest Woman http://www.bk-sportsmag.se/strongman/glama...ngest_woman.htm Oh and lot's of other stuff. Check her out on google Also check her results here in the 2004 European Grip champs. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikulich Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I brought some grippers to the UCLA Marina Aquatic Center about six months back and let a few of the Female Collegiate Rowing Athletes try them for fun. All of them could pretty much no set the #1 and one of them no set the #2. The bulk of these women are between 5'9" - 6'2". Their weights vary greatly, but most have good sized hands due to their height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Styles Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 In an effort to interest my fiancee in the grippers, I put a bounty on them for her. Closed with a set in each hand it was: T: $100 #1: $200 #2: $400 I even bought her a Sport to practice with. So far she's only gotten the Trainer. Hopefully she doesn't figure out that if she asks around she can probably find a #1 almost as easy as a Trainer. The bounties didn't do much to motivate her, especially now that she's out of college and has a job. Elizabeth Talbot is seriously impressive. Hanging around David Horne probably doesn't hurt. She's stronger than most guys, especially when it comes to grip stuff. There's some videos from one of the European comps that has a couple of her lifts. Maybe when I grow up, and I can reach that level. I think there's a strong woman named Julie something that has a picture in the gallery closing a #2. I've heard Becca Swanson has also closed a #2. I've never heard of a woman closing the #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soilworker Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I know a girl who is good for 4-5 reps on the Trainer, at least with the right hand. She has a narrow RB 100 that she can close for like 25-30 reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.scribner Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Surprisingly, several of the of the girls in my department (surgery) can close my trainer, some for a few reps. Some of the girls I work with are farm girls, and two have horses and get right out there slinging manure, hauling bales of hay, buckets of feed, etc. The one is married to a farrier, and helps him with his shoeing and (yes, this is a real occupation!!) equine dentistry. She can close the trainer and I believe would close my #1 with a little work. Go farm strength!! John Scribner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unseenbeat Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I just wanted to point out that Liz Talbot and may of these women, save for Ms. Julie (NO OFFENSE ) actually look pretty and feminine, not like beefed up steroid sucking monsters.
