ChimpGrip Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 So I have managed to close the famous Captains of Crush #3 just a couple of times now, now aiming for the #3.5. My long-term goal though is the GHP Level 10. Would anyone else here start training grip? I know a lot of big, strong guys who may be able to squat, bench, etc more than me but can't grip crap. I bet 99% of the population can't close a Captains of Crush #3 gripper without training, even professional athletes. There are many upsides to grip training, every day tasks that involve your hands become easier and your numbers in the gym (if it matters to you) will go up. And you'll grow bigger forearms. Mine currently measure at 14 1/4" around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be the first man to pinch 3 45's with one hand Three iron 45 pound plates with the flat sides facing outwards, so its your horizontal pinch strength that holds them together to complete the lift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I could get one off the ground, but, that'd be where it ended. No way I'm doing anything with it besides picking it up and putting it down. I can press 125 lb dumbells fairly easily, but the grip isn't that large. Idk. I'd have to see a set to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The millennium dumbbell will humble some of the strongest guys in the world. One of the ultimate grip feats. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChimpGrip Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 For whoever can close the GHP Level 10 gripper gets a $1000 reward. A man in Wales I know has closed it but no video exists, so no prize money yet. Just an FYI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
