That's crazy. I tried the 3 the other day and couldn't get it. My brother who can pull 800 without straps couldn't close it either. I need to get those things and practice.
I am a wuss... I have the trainer and #1... I can do the trainer 20 or so times and #1 around 10-11. I never bought #2 because I figured I would just get carpal tunnels and need surgery.
Eviscerator - get the #2 and do negatives with it. That gripper is humbling. For "my size" I have terrible crushing strength - decent support and pinch grip.
Besides if you can close the #1 for 10-11, the #2 would be an easy 2-4.
