Grippers

bigDman · 10-09-2005, 12:38 PM

I want some gripper. I hear captain of crunch are good, but I don’t know what weight to get anyone want to help me out. I like to think i have pretty strong forearms. I can wrist curl like 50 lbs for about 10 reps if that means anything

Really I don’t know much about grippers and any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated

Sorry to break this up to you bro but a 50lbs wrist curl isn't much.

And it's Captain of Crush. If you're serious about grip training get the trainers (I think they're called that) to get started (even if they're easy, you can use them as warm up) and a number 1. You probably will get a good workout out of the number one. Once you get more than ten reps on it, buy the number 2. If you train hella hard, you may eventualy reach the number 3 and, who knows, if you have some kind of insane genetics, you may actualy get to close the four with a (literaly) bone-crushing grip. But, seriously, don't expect to get past the second anytime soon.

thanks uriel

thats just what i was looking for

it looks like ill be getting a trainer and a number 1

imagin a hand shake of someone who can close the number 4 :p Ouch

Don't get your hopes up, there are only a few people in the whole world that ever closed the number 4 - there's a list of them in the official website.

yea i heard there were only offically 5 people in the world that could close the 4 i just think it would be very painfull to shake hands with someone who could close it :p

I wonder what 365lbs of pressure would do to someone's hand...

bigDman · 10-09-2005, 02:03 PM

shatter it into little pices...
how about 365 lbs of preasure to someones skull

Uriel · 10-09-2005, 02:16 PM

With a skull it would be different. You'd have to open your hand a lot more, you'd be calling upon more thumb/hand muscles rather than the forearm muscles responsible for closing your hand.

anyways it would still hurt

Banshee20 · 10-09-2005, 02:32 PM

I agree, it definitely would not feel great. Im willing to bet that the thumb/hand muscles of someone who could close that thing on a 4 would be stronger than most. :35:

I suggest you not get smart with me.(he said crushing a skull would use more hand/thumb than forearm which is responsible for squeezing.)

And have a lovely day. :)
