mcalpine1986 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) I have a few questions about the GM150 Dynamometer from Grippermania in Russia if anyone could help me as I was thinking of buying one. I do know that they use PayPal and DHL worldwide for shipping so they can still ship worldwide depsite russian sanctions due to the war. Firstly Does anyone know the cost of the GM 150? There is no price on the website. Also any rough cost of shipping and the country you live in would be helpful if you have bought one. And lastly I've noticed that the newest model they have got rid of the Knurling on the handles and now use a hammertone looking paint which they say holds chalk well. What are anyone's thoughts on that, Can painted handles really hold chalk that well? Edited December 9, 2023 by mcalpine1986 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C8Myotome Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I got one shipped to the US using PayPal for 150+50=200 total about a few months ago. No knurling, you don't really need chalk on the handles the handles aren't going to go anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you say the build quality Is good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it should be a problem. If they can be delivered to the USA I don't see why we couldn't get them here to England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared P Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Message Vano on Telegram, he'll give you all of the information. You can pay via PayPal, and to my knowledge should have no problem receiving it in the UK. I just purchased a version 5.0 GM150 from someone here on the board. It's great, but only versions 6.1 and later have the updated scale that records and saves the max result, which I wasn't aware of prior. I've only squeezed it a few times so far, but I think it's worth the purchase. It provides an additional - and more exact - way to track progress, and provides the added challenge and fun of moving up the GM150 records leaderboard. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not on telegram but will message him on his site. Thank you for the info and feedback on it, I appreciate that. It will be a cool grip gadget to own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeve tremblay Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Carl definitely does at least 180 in the dynamometer because he closed around 260 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claims he isn't good at it and that it's different than gripper closing. I'm surprised nobody has given credit to Nikita Yurkovets, who has the world record at 168.6kg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Sergei Likhutev has the right hand WR which is insanely good, beating even Vitaly Laletin who I believe had the World Record for a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan holle has unofficially got 174kg on it so Carl would easily get 180kg even if it is slightly different to grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeve tremblay Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 on a baseline dynamometer the rating would be lower I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
