how long to close a number four gripper

[tuc biscuit]

How long do ya reckon it would take? I am gonna start training at christmas for them, perhaps 18months is what I am thinking.

what # CoC are you on now? or have you started?

It must be awhile, since only 2 people in the world have done it. Just keep at it and don't give up though, and you could be number 3

On this topic, I don't have any CoC and have relativly weak grip. What should I buy to start with?

tuc, I think it totally depends on the person and the type of training you're willing to do. Look at the way Nathan Holle(second #4 closer) trains. If you focus this much time into grip training, chances are that your strongman shit will have to slow down. Training for the #4 is way too specific and limited training-wise for me personally. You could definately do it, just the time depends on how you train, injuries, hand therapy, etc.

Backlash, 3 people have closed it now bro. A couple more are 'damn' close.


By the way, I was witnessed last night for my #3 certification. I slammed it and actually ground it back and forth, then hit another solid rep that clicked. Hehe.

I recently (1 week or so) purchase the 1,2 and 3 grippers and have never done any grip work and am a hair from the number 3.

For a lot of people: never. I don't think that EVERYONE can close a number 4, even if they train their ass off. A number 3 is within the reach of most men I would say.

I agree for the most part.

I think the number three is a stretch for a LOT of people, even if they train grip a lot. I think most people would be able to close it if they trained SPECIFICALLY for the three.. but there is a reason that closing it is an accomplishment.

The number four, to me, is for the cream of the crop in grip strength.. those not genetically gifted will NOT be able to close it.

If your going to go with COC, Id say go with the Trainer. I just got the No1 today and have only fully closed it a few times. My crushing strength has never been too strong though.
