i laugh every time i see that goofy dude stick his face in when you're doing the close :D

[Gripmasters]

@GODLIKE20000 hahah yes that was so stupid I was damn serious at the time than he came to distract me. Right now still no #3 close.. but #2.5 start to feel more easy every time I close it.

respect to gripmasters he made this video when no one knew COC. now they are very well known since the last 6 months or so. Loads of peopel are putting up shiity grainy garbage videos of "I closed a 1.5" when they didnt close shit. THis dude here was closing a 2 in a suit 3 years ago and he is honest and helps others. I mean this video actually has honest people commenting instead of the "i almost closed a 4 at 16" type bs elsewhere on youtube

@sikhman100

Thank you very much for your comment! Yes that is true I was crazy about grippers already back in 2004. I posted many comments, I guess I saw almost every grip video here on youtube. But the last months, I stopped commenting a bit because SHIT youtube chanced the layout and the 5 star rating. I have no Idea how much time I put into it but it is awfully lot. Thanks again! Keep it up! Greetings, Gripmasters (BTW I closed the #2.5 for 3 baby reps but now I lost some strength again)

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?

[Gripmasters]

@dkblade27 Please search on youtube: how to set a gripper, this is very important, even if you are extreme strong if you don't set the gripper correct you can never close it. Let me know how it is going.

You have got to be kidding me. Dont even try to compare the hg's with CoC. I did the mistake to start with the hg's and then i had to buy CoC. Hg grippers are verry bad quality i know from personal experience i destroyed 3 grippers so far and my coc grippers are as good as new. The training that coc grippers give you is world class.

He didn't just close them, he closed them while wearing a suit!

[njstrongman32]

awesome man! Strong close!

[sikhman100]

@Gripmasters thats great to hear. I must confess for the last 2 years my enthusiasm comes and goes. For some reason i cant train more than 1 or 1-2 times a week without feeling subpar. I started on a trainer but was closing a #1 within 1 month. 6 months in i peaked at #1 for 13 reps. I had a #2 at the time but never came close. so for next 16 months just 1-2 workouts a month sets of 10 on #1. than a revival i got 1.5# and closed immediately for 3-4. got up to 6-7. and am now ready for 2 i think

[Zoidypoo89]

@spartanjades I could close my #1 gripper for 20 reps when I got the #2, and I could close that one too. I'm up to 3 reps on the #2 right now

[adrock252525]

Dude, be proud! Everyone starts somewhere. I just ordered the #2 to try and I'll be proud when I close it!

@PhilipCox787

Thanks a lot! That is a very detailed description. I thought I got stronger because all of a sudden I closed the #1 after placing my hand lower. So I guess I have more to work on haha.

My question now is... which is the correct position to close it? I watched some vids on youtube and ppl use that leverage to close it.

[PhilipCox787]

@dkblade27 Yes, it matters. The lower you position your hand, the more you're using leverage to you advantage. It's the same principle as closing a door. It requires very little effort to close the average door, but the closer you place your hand to the hinges, the more effort it takes to close that door.
