Double #3 Close


The Natural

Recommended Posts

Outstanding gripper feat. CNS wise, this is one of the toughest gripper feats out there.

Congrats Gabriel!

He didn't even make it look difficult.

The only reason this guy is not a #4 closer is that nobody has sent him one of the #4's that the Americans are using to get this cert. Something in the low 190 pound range. It would be cool if someone could help out Gabriel and send him one.

Top 5 gripper guy. No doubt about it.

Those grippers just seemed to give up. Amazing to see them close that way.

I think Gabriel will do just fine with his #4 given a little more time. :rock

That video is pretty old, too. He's come a long way since then. Probably capable of a #3.5 double nowadays. His #4 attempt is pretty crazy considering his #4 is 213lb. I have ZERO doubt he could close a 200lb #4.

No one has certed on a gripper that gets passed around outside the MM scheme - is that what you meant?

Thanks everybody.

Axel H. borrowed me an easy #4 (196lb). But since the German Nationals i have a lack of strength (--> inch dumbbell ;) ). I closed this one to 2mm, but never completely. Hope to achieve my old level soon.

Thanks for sharing Rex!

Gabriel by far the most gifted athlete from Europe and a really nice guy!

What about this: Rex vs Gabriel(jk)? i mean ... both have what it takes to win the next euro and the next usa champ ...:-)

Gabriel did one arm chin up a few days ago(one of his last youtube videos) VERY impressed with this!

Tried the double TNS today. Here is it:

Sorry for my left hand. It's difficult to show both gripper closed. But it was closed :)

Your left is your stronger gripper hand, it seems, so I think it's safe to say that it was closed. Someone add Gabriel to the "Double TNS #3" cert list.

If the events were neutral for hand size, Gabriel would wax me on the grippers and would be tough to beat on support. Don't know much about his pinch, probably very good to excellent. I saw the 1HDL event in the German event held not too long ago. One day very soon I'm going to max out on 1HDL and see where I stand. He'd be formidable for sure, no matter what the events.

Very nice, Gabriel! :rock

And he probably didn't really train for this, I guess... :blink
