Wanted to compile an informal yet thorough list of the heaviest known gripper closes. Will update with new accomplishments or new information. Feel free to chime in if you know of any updates or further information to expand or modify each of the rankings. Choked closes and leg sets, while impressive, not included. Rankings are intended to be as objective as possible, though not perfect. RGC + set depth + context, all contribute to the ranking - reps not taken into consideration for this list. Known RGC ratings per each gripper will be ranked above unknown ratings - unrated CoC 4 takes precedence over unrated GHP 9 for this list, as it has a higher average rating per CPW data. Only verified, recorded on video, closes listed. One entry per category per person, to eliminate similar closings from one individual - listing only their heaviest close in that category. Discussion and wholesome debate welcomed for any perceived ranking disparities.

**Intended to inspire and act as a data hub for the heaviest known gripper closes, for fun. Not an official leaderboard.**

Running out of superlatives to use. Top 2-3 greatest to ever do it, already.

That said, the 204 CCS doesn't look like a close to me. Watched in 0.25x speed, it looks like you missed it by about 1mm. But you'll get it in no time.

The 221 MMS looks closed and like a legitimate 19.05+ mm spread. THE HEAVIEST MMS CLOSE EVER DONE.

Those tattoos on your arm must be hiding the robotic parts, that's the only explanation I can come up with for you being so damn strong.

Not only is your gripper strength absolutely legendary, but I think you’re ready to attempt a cert on the 4. That hasn’t been done since 2012 I believe… 

A cert on the 4 by the new rules would absolutely shock the grip world and motivate quite a few fellow gripsters (me included). :)
