Paul Savage Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Cracked the handles together on my new #4. Matt Cannon rated it at 205lbs RGC. I've added a couple other videos also.

jchapman Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Monster power Paul. Can I ask why you leave the screen when setting? Is it to help set the gripper? I've seen several of his closes and this is just the way he sets it, by bending down. Huge close, Paul. Quote Current Goal: MM0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm1swm Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Monster power Paul. Can I ask why you leave the screen when setting? Is it to help set the gripper? Paul explained this awhile back. Some people felt he was switching grippers out when he was really setting the gripper against his thigh...or somewhere on his leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no difference, I think a 30mm block could of fitted between the handles from the position he started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Savage Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yes have attempted GHP#9 (with credit card), got it to 1/4". Pretty sure i have a hard one, feels like it would be in the 230's rgc. I'm trying to organize the 4 cert attempt for early august but nothing is confirmed yet.

Pretty sure i have a hard one, feels like it would be in the 230's rgc. I'm trying to organize the 4 cert attempt for early august but nothing is confirmed yet. Are you going to grab the crush to dust cert also? I saw some of your pinch and thickbar videos and it shouldn't be much of a problem for you. Any thought of trying out world strongest hands this year? You can't be that far from david hornes gym. Based on this last #4 close you are right on target for the #4 cert. That was seriously one of the all time best closes right up there with nathan holles ghp # 9 close and some of the mm #7 closes. That was a wide set and a long pause also.
