Magnus Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 My absolute closest attempt ever on this one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ADOIcKfWGM I can't wait for this one to go down...it's hard to believe that 6 months ago I thought it was impossible.

Grippster Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 oh man, you're close on that thing! I thought you closed the HG300 not long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 oh man, you're close on that thing! I thought you closed the HG300 not long ago. Thanks, man Yes, I closed the 300 about 2 weeks ago, but it's a hard 300 that's nearly as hard as this...it's only about 6lb easier (3.17). Man, I was fighting with that thing for months...

shizen Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'm curious to see how far you are on an actual CoC #3. Do you have one? This was good attempt you should have fought with it a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 Dang that's close! Thanks, Luke. I'm curious to see how far you are on an actual CoC #3. Do you have one? This was good attempt you should have fought with it a little longer. I've got one on the way...I traded Luke for my BBE.

matthcarl Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Very close...definitely good progress and you're a lot stronger than me. Six months ago I thought the #2.5 was impossible I am a little curious about whether you've retested the grippers to see if they're sesoning down. I guessed my HG 300 was close to a #3 level when it was new, but when I started training with it more, it got easier fast. I had thought it was much harder than my RB 260N, but I ended up closing the HG first, and it is definitely easier now. I'm not saying you're not that strong, but if I didn't have the RB's I might have been fooled into thinking I was getting stronger than I was.

And, just because I figured somebody was gonna ask and so it was completely accurate, I calibrated it 5 times last night before I posted this topic, and I was extremely careful with everything. The lowest number I got was 165.96(the strap was actually hanging over the front of the handle by about 1-2mm on that one), which is the rating I'm sticking with, and the highest was a around 168, so you can see they were pretty consistent. And I calibrated and marked the plates, as well. Edited September 24, 2008 by Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grippster Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Good luck on certifying the #3. If you manage to close the HG350 you'll be close to getting on the COC cert list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizen Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Good luck on certifying the #3. If you manage to close the HG350 you'll be close to getting on the COC cert list. He is close now but to see how close he is probably need to TNS the #3 he gets to be really ready. No reason not to go into a cert not being fully prepared.

matthcarl Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Sounds like a pretty professional operation. Good luck on the #3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Nice! It almost looked like it was closed for a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
