Are there any females close with the #3?

[Guest mg6680]

I know one who is 1/8" from closing the 2 and she's pretty #### strong.  How about the 3?

Check out her site Julie Havelka

mg,

There are a few females that have closed the #2 IM gripper... Elizabeth Talbot is one of them.  

Not only is Elizabeth grip-strong.... she's a cutie, too!!  :p  :p

Elizabeth Horne can close the #2 quite easily, as can Adrianne Blewitt as you know. With 6.8 billion people that we know of I find it hard to believe that there isn't a woman on the planet who can't close a #3. Surely there is some woman out there with hands that could close a #3. I like to think there are a few women who at least could train to close it. I imagine the #3 for most women would be like the #4 for most men. What do you all think about this?

Are you looking for a new girlfriend, maybe?

I bet there are a few -- out there working in a factory, lumber yard, or machine shop. They probably don't even know they can do it.

Personally I think it depends on the set. I think there might be a female out there that could manage a mms but not ccs IMO. I think a female could train to ccs a coc3 but it would require considerable dedicated training.

I would be amazed if there were a woman out there who could ccs a typical 150 pounds #3. That is difficult for any man, and throw in the fact that very few women would have the hand size necessary to make that doable.

I think obsessing over something as dumb as closing a gripper is more of a masculine trait

New GF? To produce genetically perfect grip children? Hmmm why not? But not with either of these too they are married and besides, both of their husbands could kick my a** lol. Why do you ask?

Funny comment

I do believe though that women can obsess over dumb things.(men for example).

On a more serious note, there is no question that there is a woman out there with the potential to close a #3, even with a CCS.

Mrs. Wilson posted a witnessed 77Kilo squeeze on a Baseline Dyno. A HUGE squeeze for anyone (I have seen hundreds of strong people try). Her success on the #2 and potential (from what I saw with specific training) for the 2.5 I think the #3 might be a bridge a "bit too far" for right now. I think the #4 for a man is closer (still remote) than a #3 is for a women. If someone does jump up and mash it(#3 or #4) might be prudent to ask for a "banned substance" test. I know Mrs Wilson is tested on a regular basis. RS

haha. My Girlfriend spends all her time obsessing about shoes and hand bags. We all have our thing. At least a gripper is 20 bucks while the designer stuff she wants is over a grand.

Whi is Mrs. Wilson? Oh, this must mean Adriane's married name I guess. She is a phenom in many ways.

Part of the question is WHAT #3. An "easy" #3 (mid-130lbs calibration) is doable with a little training right now for a few ladies I think. Elizabeth Horne and Adriane come to mind right away. There are undoubtedly others out there capable.
