Ivan Cuk Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I made a playlist to showcase the top closes of all time, is there any closes I have forgotten let me know. I know Carl's close isn't on it but GHP made it for kids so doesn't let me add it to playlist. Note some of these is from same person, this is simply looking at the closes themselves. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Pupchenko Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 On one of the first, or in the first place, there should be a video of Igor Kupinsky 4 reps 20mm BS and 10 MMS reps with CoC#4 . Igor rated this gripper as 94,8kg. But I, and Vano Sukhashvili re-rated some of his grippers, and in all this times our digits was minimum 2-3kg higher. Now youtube blocked his channel, but if Igor wants to spend time on it, he will be able to share it again. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Roger said that he's not good at setting, but I still think this is crazy strong. Must be a super mutant to not get injured at his level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive close in that video! In all fairness tho a gripper rated at 307 would be borderline impossible even if it was knurled like a GHP xD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you go to the zoo That's a chest crush gripper and nothing else. Maybe something to use for negatives if you want to completely break your hands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for reminding me! I don't remember the rating of that GHP-9. But David Shamey closed the same gripper as Igor and Artem. If Igor will in a good mood for archeology, he will be able to upload videos with CoC-3 31 reps (20mm BS) and 12 reps (20mm BS) with CoC-3,5 too... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Now that’s a great compilation of some very strong closes. Especially @SeNoLD being on another level here. Excited about his comeback! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Igor and I were calibrating our grippers, he did not have that 9. And in my notes there are no digits about it, respectively.... On his new channel there is a video with closing RB400. Igor rated it as 98.5kg, while I - as 100.1kg. Really, I think, there are up to 102kg. We had no much experience with rating then. Too many movements up and down with a gradual selection of weight led to the fact that the real numbers decreased by about +/-2 kg for every 50 from Igor's result. I know this from the results obtained by a more reliable calibration according to the Sukhashvili method and compared to grippers calibrated by CPW and Gil Goodman ... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He is a little older than you, so his interests change quite quickly, as is typical of young and impulsive people. But he has spent his entire life in different sports, so I think sooner or later he will return to our favorite grip sport! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we get older it will wear off naturally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
