i dont know about avg male lifters. im an exceptional female who no longer lifts.samoth said:Okay, so 100lbs isn't all that hard for an average male lifter? (I've never used any heavy grippers before.)

i dont know if it's overstated - perhaps it's true? you should ask bfold.samoth said:http://www.flexcart.com/members/elitefts/default.asp?m=PD&cid=223&pid=453
Start with our Trainer, which is much tougher than sporting goods store grippers, and work your way up. The No. 1 will stop most guys who lift weights; the No. 2 is rarely closed the first time it is tried; the No. 3 represents a world-class crushing grip; and the No. 4 has still been closed by only one man. When you close our No. 3 or No. 4 Captains of Crush gripper under authenticated conditions, you will be certified and added to the Ironmind list.
So perhaps the "No. 1 will stop most guys who lift weights" part is a bit overstated?

have you tried any of them? I didnt know they had a Sport and Guido version.

probably a 3/samoth said:Yeah, the non-numbered ones are new, I think.
Is Bfold still around? I think I remember reading about either him or Scottsman or someone closing a #2 or 3.

you remember polishhammer? he's on the list for having closed the #3. So are other dudes from IT (RyanBrown for one). I didnt see bfold's name on there though which is surprising.
looks like they have recently added .5 sizes too. so now there's 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 as well

samoth said:Ah, yeah. I remember PH.
I didn't know they had half sizes... EFS must not carry them.

so start with a number one? I may order one of these today...crew9 said:I've closed a the T, 1, 2, 3, HG250 and 300, and a PDA 280. I used a set for the grippers close to the 3. That being said it took about a month for me to get the 2 closed and I'm not sure how long to get the 3. I'd imagine it'd be much faster if I trained for it but I'd just pick a gripper up every couple weeks and give it a squeeze.
Quite a few people have closed the 4. www.gripboard.com if you're more interested in a real grip program.
