Member 4416, 1369 posts SQ 210, BP 175, DL 240625.0 kgs @ 122kgs UnEq | I'm struggling to close a level 3. I can get a decent half squeeze but alas, no closure. On the upside, not a single person in my office can even move them - about 30 people (29 old women). Anybody got any videos of closing STRENGTHSHOP grippers? I could only find C.O.C videos (lol - I said coc) | ||

Edit: My 3 is Coc, I have the 2.5 strengthshop one and it is about a quarter stronger than the CoC 2 so there is hope for me I've been on it all morning, which probably isn't smart as I'm working grip and deadlift tonight. I had this badboy within we believe 5 cm of closure and shook like a mofo. I can't repeat that now though. I love the idea of grip but never felt it was something that should really be worked on much. | ||

Member 5141, 4186 posts SQ 300, BP 180, DL 350830.0 kgs @ 130kgs UnEq | The SS 3 is a legit gripper. Its no surprise most folk cant do it. Most folk cant close a ss 1.5! I know this because that was my first gripper and i got a load of guys to try it (most of whom work semi physical jobs) and only 1 succeeded (former blacksmith, he also crushed a CoC 2 fairly easily with no prep or chalk) | ||

Member 4416, 1369 posts SQ 210, BP 175, DL 240625.0 kgs @ 122kgs UnEq | It's a tough call. I don't know the ideal way to train for grip as I never really have. So, I'm just squeezing these things intermittently when I feel like it for a few half reps. One of the few times I think I'll do half reps - when I'm not capable of closing the damn thing | ||

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5206 posts | Bump I have found an interest in grip as it's half decent. Was able to rep a 2 starting strength gripper with both hands when I first tried. I have also closed a 2.5 I have now ordered a coc 2.5 and hope to move on to a 3 later in the year. I take it, there is a significant difference between coc and other grippers accuracy? | ||
