Grip strength is bad!!!

For the mathematically challenged, that last pull by Felix was for 893 lbs.

Lets just say that is a bit out of my league. As in Holy fuck that is a lot of weight to pull!

B-

He is a fucking beast!!!

What about the 471 one armed pull at the start of the video?! What the fuck??? 300 on a rolling thunder?! I doubt I could 100 on it lol.

If I could pull 900 I would wear a kilt exclusively. No underwear either

lol..... that is a shit load of weight. I'll have to give those dumbbell rows a try then!

As I said before chalk and good knurling will dramatically help you keep hold of the bar.

What Bblazer said.

Also where are you placing the bar in the hand? When my hand is closed the bar rests on top of the calluses - makes it much easier. I can static hold 750 like that (then the calluses get pulled off!!).

I just bought some CoC grippers - 1 upto 3. Interested to see what I can do but aren't expecting much!

I can almost close a #2 & I have been working at it for a while now.

The knurling on the handles really toughen up your hands too.

The gym I'm working out at now has brand new bars and I just try to get my hands as far as I can around the bar since they are small. Unfortunately I'm leaving New York Friday and the gym I normally work out at has really shitty bars. It seems like they bought them used or something there is literally no knurling on them like it was filed off. I almost want to bring my own bar, plyo box, and box squat box, but I guess I can't complain to much for a $10 membership. Only if 24 wasn't like $40 and was actually open 24 hours a day.

Felix has huge fuckin hands. When i shook his hand it pretty much wrapped all the way around mine and i dont exactly have small hands.

I would have to say, yes. The main action of them is a crush style of grip which is different than grabbing a bar - you don't crush a bar. However, a lot of the same muscles are used for a bar grip, so the closest approximation is to close an hold these grippers.

B-

Anyone know were I could buy these grippers? I would only get the #1 and I dont even know if I could close that... what do you think? a 14 year old be able to close a #1? How hard are they?

I posted a link to them earlier in the thread.
