just got my captians of crush

[Brian Brouwer]

Awesome grippers. got the #2 and 3. ha, on the package, or maybe it was the ironmind magezine said very rarly will someone ever close the # 2 first time they try to close it. yeah right! 7 full reps freshly ripped out of the package. got the # 3 within 1-2cm. I find it amazing that jesse did the #3 for 10 reps. and that one is "only" 280. I couldn't imagine doing the #4(360). That will take quite a few years of practic to close I imagine, if at all. the #3 hurts the hands! But so far I am impressed with them.

Good for you. It's a fact that grip training is one of those things that most lifters negate or forget about all together, so consequently, I train the crap out of my hands; You almost have to if you're involved in strongman. There's nothing quite like the feeling you get making a big man's hand crack when you shake. Shorter guys usually have to work harder at training their grip than taller guys who inherently have larger hands that grip easier; that drives me to word harder on my hands as well (I'm 6'1)

That’s cool. I can barely close the #1. I'm 16 years old kid and haven't train my grip (I am now).

My grip is stronger than my brother (he is 6'0) and I am too short(5'8). His hands are larger than mine, but not stronger. I can send him to the ground in 2 seconds. But I can't do that with my younger brother (8 years of age). His hands are too small and it takes time to bring him to the ground. But your hands (Brian Brouwer) are much tougher than mine. Cool.
