Sybersnott Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 The question I have is this: does anyone manufacture a dyno that goes to 400? What if I get one that only goes to 300 only to find out I can go beyond that?? I think that the Jamar digital only goes to 300 and it is self-calibrating. Help me out. I got the cash to get one and I want to get a really nice one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Must...not...click...REPORT...button.... Don't worry about going over 300. Even with two hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotenmyoou Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Maybe you shall contact Robert Baraban. Maybe he has the ability to make one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Sybersnot If your going to the AOBS,ask PAT if he will take along his RB DYNO,i bet you cannot max that out,its probably the best built Dyno around and goes upto 150kilos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I think, the baseline 300 is a good choice. There are also baseline dynamometers for pinch grip.

Arne Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I have Baseline 300 Lbs and I'm not satified with the quality. I also have Robert Barabans new pocketdynamometer and his dynamometer is ligthyear ahead of the Baseline or Jama dynamometers. The quality of Robert's pocketdynamometer is absolutely outstanding! It's also very easy to cheat with the Baseline dynamometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I received Robert Barabans Hand Dyno yesterday. It is calibrated in kilos up to 120 which on this unit should exceed anyone I know. The quality is outstanding and so nicely done it is like a work of art..........RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric "Bender" Godfried has on and was squeezing around 170lbs on his a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 My first "test" squeezes were at 80 kilos. This tester is a lot harder than other testing devices I have felt.RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and if you could post some pics of it - thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Seriously though, Snott, why are you looking for one that goes up to 400?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Seriously though, Snott, why are you looking for one that goes up to 400?? Mac, if you bothered to read the very first post in this thread, it would answer your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brolly Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I am sure we all caught the suggestion that thought you might pull over 300 pounds snott - just its unlikely so i am guessing people discounted it Didn't I read 125 kilo was highest squeeze by nathan holle? (275lbs) - might have been a while back of course. Need to go some way to surpass one of the absolute best in the world, and by such a margin too. Still good luck on your quest for the 'ultimate strength' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Snott, I certainly DID read the first post, and, as per Brolly, my question still stands. You got some technique no-one else knows about? Still, it WOULD be cool so see someone max out a Robert Barbaran Dynamometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Robert Baraban once told me that a 125k-130k squeeze on his dyno would equal a *4 close,so what will a 150k squeeze equal. Not being funny snot but since Nathan Holle,Steve Gardner,Heath,Dave ,Clay,Gorilla,etc and a lot more are well above your level of crush but will not be maxing the RB Dyno anytime soon,like MAC says why you asking for a 400lbs dyno,just ATTENTION seeking or do you have a pet Gorilla in your basement you wanna test it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And didn't I read somewhere that Clay had set the world-record on a dyno?... at a contest or something?? I'd like to get it and take it to the AOBS and test everyone there. I'm thinking Richard, Heath and John Wood could put a real hurt on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Snot If you took the time to read some of the posts on the board, you would see that the RB Dynp was used by Nathan Holle and was also taken to last years AOBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 It makes you wonder than how hard the dyno was that Hermann Goerner maxed out at 280. He squezed it so hard he bent the needle in place at 280. That was just a year or two before he died and at the time very sick and very weak compared to old that days of his youth.

Rick Browne Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Snott,Here are some pics on the RB Pocket Dyno. Click Here I received a flyer from Robert about this dynamometer last summer. Very pricey.. I recall $375.00 plus shipping. If not exact, its' in the neighborhood of $375 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 A costumer have just buy a new Robert Baraban Pocket Handdynamometer from me. Told me today that he has squeeze 87 kg with his left (weaker) hand. I think that is very good result. His right hand is right now recover after an injury. His name is Harry Persson and he lives far away in the northern Sweden close to the Finnish border. He has competed as a strongman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
