strongman2332 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Now I know that this is not a close but I'm extremely happy with this because I literally just closed my IM#3 2 weeks ago!! Hope you guys enjoy and suggestions are more than welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Great attempt! For future reference I would show the set also. After showing the ends of the handles as an Elite, the gripper shouldn't have left the frame. Stay with it and never train through PAIN. You'll go far!

strongman2332 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Mighty Joe- Thanks and I definitely will show the set next time I train with this monster of a gripper! Frank- Thanks for the kind words! I will try to post some more vids of the other grippers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joefrey Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Nice job ! Elite gripper is not a joke, that'for sure ! Keep up the hard work !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongman2332 Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Joefrey, I really appreciate the great comment! This gripper is insane and this is going to be much more of a challenge than the CoC#3... Keep your fingers crossed for me haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joefrey Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I also own an Elite. It is harder than the two 3.5 I have! It's a good challenge for 2011. I will work on it and make the objective of closing it by end 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autolupus Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I also own an Elite. It is harder than the two 3.5 I have! It's a good challenge for 2011. I will work on it and make the objective of closing it by end 2011. Yeah Elites are all over the place, I've only the one but reckon it comes in above my RB330N but below my FBBC Hard and #3.5.

strongman2332 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks Jedd, I really appreciate the kind words! Hard work is an understatement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongman2332 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Autolupus- How would you rate the FBBC hard to the 3.5? Is the spread similar? What are your feelings on the RB330N? Do you have it calibrated? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrygrip Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 great attempt mate, looking strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autolupus Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Autolupus- How would you rate the FBBC hard to the 3.5? Is the spread similar? What are your feelings on the RB330N? Do you have it calibrated? Thanks! The FBBC Hard is the same spread and feels the same as my #3.5, I'd rate both around 180lbs(uncalibrated but rated against known grippers), the #3.5 having 19mm handles and the Hard having 20mm. The RB330N is a gripper I had from Sam(CoC3) and cals. at 172lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongman2332 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thank you for the details! I just picked up a 3.5 so I will see how it feels tomorrow! Keep ur fingers crossed for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Nice work man! Elites vary all over the place just like has been mentioned. I had one that was 158lbs and another that was 185lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongman2332 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks Bencrush! This sure did feel unreal, I had trouble getting a good set and this was fortunately my best one. I honestly wish one of bigger named grip guys lived a little closer so I could get some of my grippers calibrated : / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
