Anyone close a level 3 or 4 gripper from ironmind? I ordered it and the handshake machine.

Let me know the results
 
I'm the only guy I know personally who can close the #2.

I bought a SuperGripper from Ivanko to try to get the #3 soon. It's slow, but I'm getting there.

Props to you if you can get it.
 
Soon the #3 will be mine. BTW...regular store models with the black grip are substantially weaker. Maybe 30 pounds instead of 280

I can close #2, working on 3. Tuc, if you have closed it are you ranked?


You have to be "observed" to make it official. Contact Ironmind and ask for the name and # of an official judge in your area. The ends have to touch for 1 full second and a pic has to be taken.
 
It took my buddy Dan who placed 9th out 19 or 20 strongmen in the "Global Grip Challenge" this weekend months, I think close to a year to close the #3 now he can do it with his right or left. He would sand the ends of his #1and #2 down for a harder squeeze to prep for the #3. The grip machine sounds like it would help alot.

As for me I do lots of grip training, but never train grippers or bending and it shows because I have yet to close a #2 or bend a respectable nail.
 
Here's a neat site for you grip fanatics. The guy that owns this company was the first guy to close the #3. I worked with him for a few years, great guy. At one time the powers that be said that he had the strongest grip in the world. Check it out, most of the site is equipment, but he has some unique stuff ranging from the Thompson 1" dumbell to specialized grip machines. Enjoy!

go to the "live strong" section. My training partner Dave Hermann has a pic on there. Pinch gripping two york 45's back to back, try it sometime.
