1) They are relatable feats of strength. Most people are familiar with a deck of cards or a phonebook. So if you can tear it in half for them, it speaks to them more than "hey, watch me close this gripper."

2) You need to train grippers to be good at grippers. It's a very specific movement that has very little real-world application.

3) Go for it!

You really have to be already insanely strong to tear phonebooks. I think you get there by doing other types of grip exercises first.

I don't believe that for a min., testing phonebooks is more technique and less handstrength. Like most lifting with good technique you can lift or pull much much more than a real strong guy that dosent understand how trio do it the correct way.

I like training for overall strengh. But feats of strength are really cool too.
