he is a deadlifter, for deadlifts you need a support grip and for closing the grippers you need crushing grip strenght its not the same.
deadlifting will help you closing the grippers but you need to work with the grippers if you wanna close them and dont forget thumb and wrist strenght !!!
@stevespielberg It has nothing to do with how meaty his hands are, meatier hands are actually an advantage. He couldn't fully close it cause he didn't properly set it in his hand, but you're right he obviously has the hand strength to close it.
doesnt matter which video you choose you literally only have to scroll down and there will be Americans arguing about god and all that shit, go on try it
@pussySTEROIDusers yeah that must be why Lou Ferrigno, Arnold Schwarzenneger, Dave Draper, Larry Scott, Tom Platz, Lee Haney, Mike Katz and quite frankly, too many more to list are not only alive well into their 50's and 60's but half of them still work out and are freakin buff....
@ilovezerglings yeah man,thats true,i guess ronnie is doped to the muthafuccin max,thats why he is aint no rival 4 some real strong dude who ain´t on steroids...i would say ronnie would squeeze any fucking gripper cause of the drugs...but not of hard work in a way some powerlifter would do it i guess
@milliato210 WHAT THE FUCK? You think he got where he is without hardwork? it took genetics hardwork and steroids are you to stupid to realize that? Tons of average cunts at the gym take steroids and look garbage steroids don't make you suddenly blow up to a ripped 265. Oh and you think powerlifters don't take juice? are you a bit slow there mate?
@ilovezerglings OK. You go get that big or win any serious title in any hard sports "Naturally" You only have to eat what you find in nature. that means No supplements too. Good Luck.
@NLT31 i wouldn say way off...he is pretty darn close at closing the number 3 right there..i know the number 4 i as monster, but..i think doable for a man os his strengh. Ive got all the grippers but my first goal i s to close the nr.3 . its tough enough for me :D
@htothejay Good luck in your quest, the good thing about the grippers is that it isn't as dependant on overall size and power, Joe Kinney and Nathan Holle were both normally sized individuals, in fact Nathan is particularly small. As for Coleman, to be fair he's just holding it and squeezed it with no particular technique but talking to experienced grip athletes that 1/2" like I said is where it's at. It takes a lot of serious training to close that last 1/2".
@obezana You wanna kiss his ass anymore? I don't know what people do not understand. Powerlifters are stronger than bodybuilders. Guys like Brian Shaw, Zydrunas Savickas, Magnus Samuellson and Bendikt Magnusson would make Ronnie Coleman look like a pussy.
@BXAssasinatorXS 1. who fucking said we dont know that? 2. ronnie pulled 800x2 and pushed 200 pound dumbbells for easy reps...benedikt is my favorite PL but you seem to not know who ronnie is..
@m5p944 why 405??????why not 400???if i put that in kilos its like...202,something kilos,what the bullshit???why you don´t say 400 pounds???and by the way,i think its not easy at all holding 200 kilos in hands!
@milliato210 Is that all what bothers you? Can't you just stick to the point and stop fucking around stickboy? Here in USA we're using 45 pounds plates along with 45 pounds olympic bar. You do the math. 4 plates on each side + bar = guess what? Who care about kilos here in US when "Drittes Reich" failed. So get organized. Here in US you're just german pimp.
@m5p944 It never ceases to amaze me. The ignorance people show is astounding. World War 2 ended 66 years ago, and you just can't seem to grasp the fact that a country is different now.
As for the metric system; it is used in the entire world, barring three countries. Myanmar (Burma), Liberia, and the U.S. do not use it. Where does superiority come into the equation? Using such an old, dead term as "Drittes Reich" just shows that you really know next to nothing outside of your own borders.
@m5p944 Also: Reduced credit rating, causing the first and second biggest recessions in history, turning a blind eye to Israels behavior toward muslims, corporate sponsored and aged government officials, protests that have yet to be adressed by the leader of the country, Christianity having privileged rights. Do you want me to keep going?
Bottom line: Your country is not perfect. Stop jerking off to the sound of your waving flag. Respect others.
The First Amendment has always been interpreted literally as nothing more than what it says verbatim. There is no such thing as a separation of church and state. Only in a letter from Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists.
There are many religious symbols proliferating government office and public funds have gone to private Christian schools.
History also tells us this country was settled by 'Christians' for 'Christians'. Prior to the revisionists changing textbooks.
not fully closed but damn good anyways haha...anyone wanna see the strongest body builder you gotta check out stan efferding aka "the rhino" dudes a freak
this guy looks strong like all other body builders but he trains all the year to have heavy muscles, the public exhibition proves it, he shows only his body which is huge and fatless it is the goal and he is a champion obviously.He lifts tremendous weight plates but he is not as resistant as a strongman. A guy as Ronnie could smash a chair by his weight on it but he could not defeat a strongman it is impossible.A strongman seeks force not muscular mass
@slauburn Ed Coan, a world record POWERLIFTER(they go for force, right?) couldn't close the #3, despite making full-blown, legitimate attempts. "This guy"--Ronnie Coleman, was playing with it like it's nothing. Ronnie Coleman, while certainly no Andy Bolton, is a ridiculously strong human being, as strong or stronger than any bodybuilder ever, and is damn near as strong as any strongman ever. Learn what you're talking about before you attempt to be an expert at the subject of conversation.
So you say that bodybuilders train for big muscles and strong men are better strong men because they are strong men. That is ground breaking information.
@1080famous just read the resistance they have, if it is the same then yes. It should say somewhere hom much resistance they give, example: 365lbs, 405lbs, etc...
no the captain of crush is way better and more accurate. The strongman grips heavy duty are pretty good to start out tho. GO on amazon and buy the set that comes with like 7 different grippers for only 60 dallars
@1080famous CoC grippers are higher quality and more accurate than Heavy Grips. My friend has the HG200 which is rated at 200lbs but it feels like my CoC trainer which is rated at 100lbs. CoC are the best.
if that was paul knight letting him try that gripper out...thats awesome...paul is one of the sickest grip strength guys out there...45lb hub transfer is br00tal
@temmink2010 265 i believe.....it looks like an older model...due to the black coiled spring..newer ones have chrome springs...plus the older it gets it gets a little "weaker"...still a tough feat...i can only close mine halfway lol haha
He's a bodybuilder, not a strongman competitor. Don't get me wrong, he's a strong mofo but he doesn't compare to the strongman competitors. The fact that he couldn't close it didn't surprise me.
@CesarStylezZ El Pudzianowski no puede cerrar el numero 3 completamente tampoco. Casi, pero no completamente. El no se entrena con los COC grippers. Pero si es fuerte.
very strong, im sure if he was in his prime " around 2003 offseason" he would close it and with training could get the number 4. 200 pound dumbell press is unmatched by anyone strongman or not, aswell as his freakish strengh in all other areas. truely a 1 in a lifetime human being.
sharpnova2 u can't do that unless u choke it or cheat like hell u see no one has ever done a real certified rep with a coc 4. Not even magnus samuelson.
Hahahaha, no, because he took it with no warm up which makes it much more difficult, no technique which makes it nigh impossible, and had no set which anyone who knows shit about grippers will tell you closing a gripper from is basically domination of that gripper, not to mention i don't believe he checked (or knew to check) for a dog ear, and had it in the worst possible position.
And yet he still brought it closer than a handle's width, hardly even trying.
woah.. he didn't even set it right nor mentally amped himself to closed it.. if he did, I'm pretty damn sure that #3 would would have been a walk in the park for Ronnie...
i say if u would like to be STRONG! give up Bodybuilding... with colemans size in my eyes he should be stornger... but because he has to little bodyfat he loose strenght... I say MAgnus Samuelsson when he was in the competitions... natural borned VIKING! he can push #3 and #4 wiki him... STRONG man and he look small compared to coleman
@highrpm85: That is because bodybuilding is aesthetic first, aesthetic second and strength third. Whereas powerlifting is strength first with no goal to look better.
really you don't need to close a #3 to flat press 200 lbs dumbbells for 12 reps. All that is needed is the ability to maintain a decent grip for a few seconds.
Doesn't he endorse Strongman Grips? Seems like with his size and training background he would be able to close the #3 if he has had any prior gripper training.
damn Paul, I bet if you taught him to MMS he would closing a 3.5 in a month. no suprises here- a man who deadlifts that much weight for that many reps is not going to have a fish handshake
@sharpnova2 Handle the #4 with ease? LOL well even Magnus had to put a lot of effort in to close them...I dont ever see anyone closing them with ease though.
@04gtstang It still takes what I would call tremendous force. Just not necessarily tremendous effort.
For example, I can close a #4 with each hand at the same time.
Now that is difficult. Especially if you're doing it correctly because the force originates from deep shoulder muscles and pectoral stabilizer muscles. So there is some shared labor for doing both at once that makes it ten times more difficult.
@04gtstang ever seen Joe Kinney close the #4? That is the most impressive feat of grip strength I have ever seen. He closed it easily and then he grinded the handles together. He was the first man to close the #4, and he did a no set close.
@khalsasikh I agree, the #4 close that joe kinney did was unmatched. Not to mention he was 40 years old and only 175lbs. Joe Kinney had superhuman grip strength. He also closed a monster gripper he made that took 675 of pressure to close.
Holy crap I just looked him up...absolutly incredible! Never could tell...apparently size has doesnt mean much when it comes to grip strength...his hands and wrists dont seem huge either.
Good attempt by someone who may not train with them, but he missed closing it by close to a quarter of an inch. I'm sure he could do it with some training.
This was really impressive, ranking up there with a 72 year old man that's a friend of my dad's almost closing the #2 without even being shown how to set it or even position it.
@c8h3p No, you couldn't. One area that steroids don't work much on at all is grip strength. Since grip strength comes from the tendons and ligaments in the hands and forearms, synthetic steroids don't help very much at all since a steroid builds and restores muscle tissue. The reason Ronnie Coleman has a good grip is because he is a world class deadlifter and he does extremely heavy rowing movements. He can deadlift about 900 pounds.
@khalsasikh Im not sure what your understanding of anatomy is, but grip strength comes from the amount of force your hand and forearm muscles can exert. Same goes for any other muscle movement. Yes tendon and ligament strength is relevant in that they need to withstand the forces exerted on them, but they have no part in exerting the force. So, steroid's function in building and restoring muscle would indeed help with grip strength as it would in the strength of any other muscle.
@beaster29 I understand enough to know that steroids don't contribute to grip strength. So get out of here. Have the guts to show who you are too.....don't be some anonymous jackass.
@khalsasikh Who said i gave you permission to go on my profile? Obviously you don't understand. If steroids contribute to muscle strength, they contribute to grip strength. Muscles are what move your fingers you see, and if those muscles get stronger, your fingers get stronger. Ofcoarse your tendons will get stronger along with the muscles. Now stay off my profile pervert!
@beaster29 I don't need your fucking permission to do anything. Your profile is open for the fucking world to see. If you don't like it, get the fuck off. Otherwise, go lecture someone who gives a fuck about what you have to say, shithead.
@c8h3p Steroids don't really contribute to grip strength. Steroids build muscle, but grip strength comes from the tendons and ligaments. Ronnie got his grip strength from being a world class deadlifter. He can deadlift at least 900 pounds at his best. He also can barbell row with over 500 pounds. Anybody that can do that will be able to at least give the #3 a run for its money like you saw in this video.
hahah that's cool especially if he has never done this but those deadlifts help the grip and visa versa, i hate when this happens example when my cuz first tried benching he out benched me with a lift of 185 when i got 165 and we we're in 8th grade...haha it still hurts
@TheMightykaz Not that amazing. The guy has been lifting weights for countless years and eating steroids for breakfast. I would expect him to at least get the #3.
I am assuming the difference between a 3 and a 4 is like the difference between a 2 and a 3. I can close the #2 twice, I got the 2.5 literally a millimeter away from closing, and the only time I ever tried to close a #3 I got the handles almost to parallel.
Although mathematically that is true, the difference as far as training and the way it feels on your hands goes, it's more like the difference between the 2 and the Elite (which is a 3.4, a touch easier than the 3.5). By comparison, I can get the #3 reasonably close to closed, not quite a half inch, but I can't get the 4 to parallel, I can only close the 4 by chest crushing it. Thankfully, there's the Elite, the 3.5, the Super Elite, and the Grand Elite as in between stepping stones.
so if my logic is true, (that each gripper is the same mount harder poundage wise as the one before it) Ronnie would with no further training get the #3.5 handles to almost parallel. If someone showed him how to set it he might close it. And then would get the #4 handles almost to parallel. If each gripper gets harder by a consecutive amount.
he is a deadlifter, for deadlifts you need a support grip and for closing the grippers you need crushing grip strenght its not the same.
deadlifting will help you closing the grippers but you need to work with the grippers if you wanna close them and dont forget thumb and wrist strenght !!!

@Teqo7 If you're going to bother trying to suggest that someone doesn't know the difference at least be literate when you do so.
Also I was replying to someone else down the list, I never once mentioned body building or STRONGMAN, so don't start spouting bullcrap.

i say if u would like to be STRONG! give up Bodybuilding... with colemans size in my eyes he should be stornger... but because he has to little bodyfat he loose strenght... I say MAgnus Samuelsson when he was in the competitions... natural borned VIKING! he can push #3 and #4 wiki him... STRONG man and he look small compared to coleman

@highrpm85: That is because bodybuilding is aesthetic first, aesthetic second and strength third. Whereas powerlifting is strength first with no goal to look better.

really you don't need to close a #3 to flat press 200 lbs dumbbells for 12 reps. All that is needed is the ability to maintain a decent grip for a few seconds.

@sharpnova2 Handle the #4 with ease? LOL well even Magnus had to put a lot of effort in to close them...I dont ever see anyone closing them with ease though.
04gtstang 1 year ago
@04gtstang Obviously I meant relative ease. Relative to most people who can "barely" close them.
sharpnova2 1 year ago
@04gtstang It still takes what I would call tremendous force. Just not necessarily tremendous effort.
For example, I can close a #4 with each hand at the same time.
Now that is difficult. Especially if you're doing it correctly because the force originates from deep shoulder muscles and pectoral stabilizer muscles. So there is some shared labor for doing both at once that makes it ten times more difficult.
sharpnova2 1 year ago
@04gtstang ever seen Joe Kinney close the #4? That is the most impressive feat of grip strength I have ever seen. He closed it easily and then he grinded the handles together. He was the first man to close the #4, and he did a no set close.
khalsasikh 1 year ago
@khalsasikh I agree, the #4 close that joe kinney did was unmatched. Not to mention he was 40 years old and only 175lbs. Joe Kinney had superhuman grip strength. He also closed a monster gripper he made that took 675 of pressure to close.

c8h3p 1 year ago 24
@c8h3p me too :D
peter357 1 year ago
@c8h3p No, you couldn't. One area that steroids don't work much on at all is grip strength. Since grip strength comes from the tendons and ligaments in the hands and forearms, synthetic steroids don't help very much at all since a steroid builds and restores muscle tissue. The reason Ronnie Coleman has a good grip is because he is a world class deadlifter and he does extremely heavy rowing movements. He can deadlift about 900 pounds.
khalsasikh 1 year ago
@khalsasikh Im not sure what your understanding of anatomy is, but grip strength comes from the amount of force your hand and forearm muscles can exert. Same goes for any other muscle movement. Yes tendon and ligament strength is relevant in that they need to withstand the forces exerted on them, but they have no part in exerting the force. So, steroid's function in building and restoring muscle would indeed help with grip strength as it would in the strength of any other muscle.

@beaster29 I understand enough to know that steroids don't contribute to grip strength. So get out of here. Have the guts to show who you are too.....don't be some anonymous jackass.
khalsasikh 1 year ago
@khalsasikh Who said i gave you permission to go on my profile? Obviously you don't understand. If steroids contribute to muscle strength, they contribute to grip strength. Muscles are what move your fingers you see, and if those muscles get stronger, your fingers get stronger. Ofcoarse your tendons will get stronger along with the muscles. Now stay off my profile pervert!

@c8h3p He didn't close it. As per the official rules on ironmind.com, the grippers must close, by fully touching.
TheSalisburySteak 1 year ago
@c8h3p Steroids don't really contribute to grip strength. Steroids build muscle, but grip strength comes from the tendons and ligaments. Ronnie got his grip strength from being a world class deadlifter. He can deadlift at least 900 pounds at his best. He also can barbell row with over 500 pounds. Anybody that can do that will be able to at least give the #3 a run for its money like you saw in this video.

@HandelandJ You truly underestimate the power of #4.
Duppzor 2 years ago
I am assuming the difference between a 3 and a 4 is like the difference between a 2 and a 3. I can close the #2 twice, I got the 2.5 literally a millimeter away from closing, and the only time I ever tried to close a #3 I got the handles almost to parallel.
HandelandJ 2 years ago
Although mathematically that is true, the difference as far as training and the way it feels on your hands goes, it's more like the difference between the 2 and the Elite (which is a 3.4, a touch easier than the 3.5). By comparison, I can get the #3 reasonably close to closed, not quite a half inch, but I can't get the 4 to parallel, I can only close the 4 by chest crushing it. Thankfully, there's the Elite, the 3.5, the Super Elite, and the Grand Elite as in between stepping stones.
MVillani1985 2 years ago
so if my logic is true, (that each gripper is the same mount harder poundage wise as the one before it) Ronnie would with no further training get the #3.5 handles to almost parallel. If someone showed him how to set it he might close it. And then would get the #4 handles almost to parallel. If each gripper gets harder by a consecutive amount.
HandelandJ 2 years ago
Yeah, thats why its as easy to gain in bench from 50kg - 100kg and 350kg - 400kg.
The heavier it gets, the harder it gets. The progression in weightlifting etc isnt linear, so you can't put it like that.
