For $20, you TOO can be a legend in the sport of grip strength! All you have to do is be a 6.5-foot, 350-pound genetic freak from Sweden that lifts, pushes, and carries heavy objects for a living!
pay for a way over priced piece of metal, and get a workout? or get stronger? or just see if you can squeeze it with monkey brains...me strong monkey..me like expensive shiney metal
i noticed the ironmind site and there are barely any strongman certified at 3, 3.5, or 4.
-Only magnus at 4.. maybe the other strongman don't know about this challenge. Saw a video of mark felix saying he could close it but hands were too big. I don't see how any of the top strongmen on the circuit could not get at least a 3.
@Ferro716 Closing a 3 is a very rare ability and requires specific strength in the closing hand movement. This strength is not essential for general strongman events. That's why you can get really big, strong men with averageish hand (grip) strength.
wonder if a primate such as chimp or gorilla could close a #10 or #15 if those grippers were made and if the primates were taught how to do it. I'm not trying to be silly. I just wonder stuff like this.
Awesome question actually: A silverback gorilla would probably rep this thing like you or I would one of the old dimestore grey handled spring jobs. A gorilla (or any primate for that matter) has a grip that ours doesn't even rate against. Have you ever gone to the zoo and seen the 500+ lbs gorillas swing thru the vines and trees?
Say what?? I haven't done this (yet) but I'm going to see if I can go into the Paul Harvey archives and find the story he did a bunch of years back. Long story short, his description in the story made you think it was a man, but in the end it was a 500+ lb male Silverback gorilla. It pressed 4,000 (four thousand) pounds off it's chest. The weight was suspended over him, he didn't go thru the "normal" bench motions. But, why would you think it couldn't??
@konakaine I read somewhere that while monkeys have incredible pulling strength (so they have incredible grip and would be able to do a thousand chinups easily), their pressing strength is weak. I don't have any sources right now but it's definitely worth looking into.
@Maddolis That's very interesting. Never heard about it, but I suppose it makes sense, as I don't see pressing strength as being very essential to the average primate's survival.
The size of your hand also provides leverage, if you can wrap around the grip easier then you gain leverage, if you have smaller hands and cannot wrap around the grip you lose leverage and your weaker muscles are at work longer than someone with large hands. Common sense. If you ever have a chance ask a doctor or check a website for the instruments they use to check hand strength at various positions, you will notice your are very weak at the fingers. Grippers may be accurate but results false.
This is not exactly accurate, you have a very strong closed grip strength, you have that opposable thumb that really helps, hang from a pull up bar and wear a weight belt with the linked chain hanging, then add on 45's to the chain as you hang with grip already closed, you will be able to add at least double your weight before fatigue. All grippers train each muscle group used to close hand, you fatigue as you are closing, so really the gripper is not a good measure of specific muscle strength.
@Johnnyblazedanketch i actually noticed this myself... the grippers had quite a decent carryover to the standard barbell, but not so much with thick handles.
@criceto Oh gee, I don't know, what's the point of Mount Everest being there? Some of us LIKE to dream of, and work towards, doing very difficult things. Not everyone is in the game to get the self-esteem trophy.
@criceto I understand what you mean, but I think it would also be fun to have as a conversation piece. Could be a really effective way of shutting up a bragging jerk ;)
@criceto Thats a Good Point. If This Vike had trouble with it, Than How many others are really going to be able to buy this(and actually use it)? They probably only need to make like 25 of them worldwide...
@VikingSkills7 Magmus is a strong man, hes tested for PED each competitions. A man thats can naturally close a no3 can close a 4 on roids, and some buy it as a collection item.
I understand, and you are correct, however, not everyone in the world has as Ironmind #4. And, others still don't even use them at all for training or testing.
@Magnimammen forgive me but i'm not understanding your logic. If only 4 ppl in the world can close them, then obviously those 4 guys have the strongest grip. If not everyone has tried a number 4, then how do you know there are many that would crush him in a grip contest?
Logic? It istn't a matter of logic or rocket science! He isn't "God." There's plenty of people with stronger grips! He isn't a "grip specialist." You missed the point. If you've ever trained with large numbers of people or been around them you'd see not everyone cares to use ironmind products nor, enter ironmind contests. There's plenty of people (I know of several) that work in scrapyards who I wouldn't put anyone up against! And they don't even know what ironmind is. It's simple, really
@Magnimammen WHOA DUDE CHILL! I was just asking. Okay i get it. no need to bring god into this, lol.
Okay so there are some guys that could beat magnus at a grip contest by holding more weight for a longer period of time. Those guys have strength and stamina in areas that magnus doest i'm sure. But it could be said either way then. I bet THOSE guys who could beat him in a grip test probably couldnt close a #4. So there.
Magnus is right. Its easy to hurt yourself if you start heavy training in the begining, its just common sense, small muscles that can easily get damaged. Of all the strong mans i have seen, Magnus seems to be the only one not having the macho personality.
Visst är detta skojigare än att dansa juck, framför unga gossar. Och det går bra att ta ett snack med mej.....tycker det är omanligt att dansa och vårda mitt yttre.
I have a question. I seem to be able to close the #1 by positioning my hand further down but I cannot close it when I put all my hand in the regular position. Does it matter the position you put your hand in?
I always like magnus samuelsson since I first saw him in the worlds strongest man!! theres a big difference between putzianosky and samuelsson? guess which difference is, word begins with R ends with S

Not one visual proof in that entire video that he actually closed that #4. Not to mention, those weren't reps he did. Reps would be one right after another.
besides from a strong grip his giant hands also work... i know a person who can walk 130kg farmers easily but has a hard time closing te captain of crush no. 2 just because of his small hands
Cool video, but I wish the guy would let Magnus finish his sentences. Some stuff I'm dealing with now in grip training he touches on, but the guy interrupts him before he can finish giving his advice.
Magnus has the best grip in the world. He was one of the ( clean) athletes. This makes the feat all the more impressive. He is a great loss to the strongman world and was always an ambassador for the sport.
It could be interesting to know how he would "shake hands" with say Alexander Karelin. Remembering that someone said something like that he could crush human's skull with gripping, but anyway.
How would we even compare the two? Karelin is an olympic wrestling champion. In a fight, Karelin would destroy him. In a strength contest, Samuelsson would warm up with Karelin's best in any event.
I think our hand strength increases so fast is due to the fact they are so un used unless your job requires physical labor, especially with your hands.
@kbi35 i know your comment is ancient now - but i thought i might add that also it's because your grip uses lots of small muscles and tendons, so they can recover really quickly. as well it makes sense that they're made to recover fast because you use your hands with everything you do, and so need to be able to adapt quickly. but you probably knew that.

@krisb2k6y It's called the Captains of Crush grippers. Most people should start with the Trainer or #1.

Magnus's grip is insane. I train with grippers and if I can reach half the strength that Magnus has then I'll consider it a super achievement.
These things are seriously hard.

Magnus has the best grip in the world. He was one of the ( clean) athletes. This makes the feat all the more impressive. He is a great loss to the strongman world and was always an ambassador for the sport.

I have closed the number 2 on 2 occasions now and I feel like my grip is really strong. This guy is a beast.

It could be interesting to know how he would "shake hands" with say Alexander Karelin. Remembering that someone said something like that he could crush human's skull with gripping, but anyway.

this dude would rape karelin!
stjarthalbajs 2 years ago
heheh... sure mate. Karelin would rape him even if he was in a weel chair and blind ;).
andreasvarro 2 years ago
sure we say that!
stjarthalbajs 2 years ago
How would we even compare the two? Karelin is an olympic wrestling champion. In a fight, Karelin would destroy him. In a strength contest, Samuelsson would warm up with Karelin's best in any event.

I think our hand strength increases so fast is due to the fact they are so un used unless your job requires physical labor, especially with your hands.
kbi35 2 years ago 4
@kbi35 i know your comment is ancient now - but i thought i might add that also it's because your grip uses lots of small muscles and tendons, so they can recover really quickly. as well it makes sense that they're made to recover fast because you use your hands with everything you do, and so need to be able to adapt quickly. but you probably knew that.

That is some serious fucking grip strength right there.

Can someone please explain his day 1 and day 2 routine? It's kinda confusing, and the text on the video makes it even more confusing.

@mupsen123 Of course swedes aren't vikings...There are no living vikings today.
However there were Swedish vikings. They lived on the westcoast, most in the area which is now called Skåne.

Hey Frank........do you have the footage of magnus performing the ccs #4 close??? would love to see it!
Griparrayxp 2 years ago
Nope, not only was Magnus' cert not video'd, but it was when IM still had the old inch-set rule. IMO, he could still CCS one, though.

@unauthorizedentry01 You're kidding, right? There is no way, based on what I see in this video, that Magnus could CCS the #4.
