My Life

The day had finally arrived. On Saturday the 28th of June 2008 I had closed Captains of Crush (COC) No2 hand gripper. I had been training with No. 1 & 2 for over a month now and have finally managed to close it.

COC hand grippers are world renowned for being the best and hardest hand grippers. The table below lists all the COC hand grippers with the strengths needed to close them.

I had started my COC journey with the Trainer and the No. 1 hand gripper. It had taken me some time to close No. 1 and then after being able to close No. 1 around 3 – 5 times in a row I had purchased No. 2.

IronMind actually offers 5 levels of grippers – the Trainer, the #1, #2, #3, and #4. It’s also not a given that “just any strong guy” can close a #3 gripper as evidenced a couple years ago when a gripster decided to test some well known bodybuilders and powerlifters at the Arnold Classic. Everyone who tried the #2 failed, with the exception of Manfred Hoeberl (who is a COC), failed to close a #2. ~ Cyberpump

Closing No. 3 and 4 places you in the hall of fame of gripsters. If you are able to close No. 3 or 4 IronMind (the makers of COC) will arrange a meeting with you and a certified judge that will oversee you closing the hand grip. In the world thus far just over 150 people have closed No. 3 (list) and just 5 have closed No. 4 (list), the latest being Magnus Samuelsson a former World’s Strongest Man.

Below I have included a video of Magnus crushing the No. 4.

In a month or two I’ll buy myself No. 3 and see how I go there. Hopefully by the end of the year I’ll be able to close No. 3 and get myself into the list.

Thanks,
