Thanks mate!

Hi, generally I would say get the next gripper up from the one you do reps with and practice single closes and timed holds. High reps are not good for reliably increasing strength.

@@jeromebloom_gripcraft6031 yes I bay 200lps but i can’t Evan do it 2cm is very hard and what is meaning singel close i don’t understand

Hi Oliver, the official World Record is 21.8kg for a measured lift in competition conditions. Lift height would be a minimum of 13 inches (33cm). Any official record attempt has to be sanctioned by the World of Grip organisation. The official records list can be found on this link www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/worldrecords.html I actually have a personal best lift of 22.7kg, however that was not achieved as part of a sanctioned competition.

You some kinda lawn enforcement officer?😆

You would be welcome any time mate!

It was a pleasure. Hopefully next time round the weather will be better!

Keep up the good work!

😂😂

Thanks!

Great stuff. I'm really feeling it now!

I will do so! 👍

Thanks mate! ☺️

Thanks 👍 That would be quite a different type of grip, cupping strength as opposed to key-pinch. An easy way to actively train your cupping power is with thick rubber rings. They are available online and at different power settings.

@@jeromebloom_gripcraft6031 could you please provide a link

Thank you! I am a keen armwrestler so hopefully you are right! 😉👍

Thanks mate! The most I managed that year was 27.45kg

That's mad! How do you stop your finger tipping up?

@@timhall1167 I don't curl my hand up, instead my forearm comes up and my hand deflects down

Thanks! ☺️🙏

I would say that the Finnish Ball has better crossover value in grip than coin lifts because it works the supportive (cupping) potential and general grabbing. This could potentially be a benefit for armwrestling and something like Brazilian Jujitsu but I would still say that quality time spent training those specific sports is better.

@@jeromebloom_gripcraft6031 thank you that makes sense! That’s good to hear I just got one yesterday to train for the upcoming King Kong Challenge, thank you for the information and the tips!

@@ludovicgallant9760 Cool, happy training! It's worth mentioning that for the King Kong Competition they don't allow any angle on the thumb so definitely concentrate on your finger cupping strength to maximise the support

@@jeromebloom_gripcraft6031 Thank you that's great advice I'll make sure to train that way to make it more specific!

You are very welcome! 👍

Thanks! ☺️

Thanks! Not yet. Other goals got in the way but I'll definitely get back into it in the near future

I'm working my way towards the 2.5 right now, then the #3

@@breakarm8782 great stuff! I hope you enjoy the journey! 👊

Hope he comes back/ replies but I think his hands may be too short for a credit card set, he is very strong but scroll down he has like 6.7 inch long hands which I would guess are too short for the width of a #3, idk know though cause I have never held a 3 or wide gripper like that, also I have similar hands stats as him except mine are far skinnier and weaker as I am still working for a 2, he gives me a lot of inspiration though he must have trained very hard and has high testosterone cause grip is a good measure of it especially cause he is kind of light and 5’2 I am 5’7 I hope my hands grow more at least thick like his if not longer but I also gotta bulk seriously to get big, sorry for waffling about myself tho

Hi, that is a good question! I usually flip the gripper round so that the flatter side of the spring is in the hand (like in a right hand set-up). Try both and see what you think. It would be interesting to have your opinion

No. I used to be able to close the #3 quite regularly but my grip gets affected by my armwrestling these days. Perhaps that will be a target in future

Lol! Very funny David!

Lol 😂

Yes I am in Cheshunt! Are you local?

Haha yes of course! I'm training for some big Grip Strength competitions at the moment so am trying to avoid straps in my armwrestling training because they ruin my grip!

Thanks mate!
