What a waste of a can! Isn't it quite dangerous? they can be pretty sharp and probably cut your hands.

Eek

Are you for real???

Closest i ever got was 2mm Wayne. #4s are tough beasts. I certified on the #3 when i was a teenager , there was an ironmind article about my cert and the Jesse Marunde fund last year.

Got bored of training with grippers mate but i still like feats of grip strength that the general public can relate to. To the average individual this sort of thing, and bending nails, tearing a deck of cards etc... is more impressive than say benching 200kg or squatting 300kg because they can relate to it.

Even if this WAS correct, it would mean you had a good crushing grip only, which is hardly ever/never needed in SM

I read a piece by Steve (the grip guy) and you can have a good crushing grip, but piss poor for holds etc, if I remember correctly

Alright Mr Negative, even though lil_lee never suggested a correlation between can crushing ability and general strongman prowess, your counter argument is flawed in as much Simon Cowdrey, Adam Keep and Magnus Samuelsson (the three examples used of guys who can do this) are all good at what they do.

I don't think it's a coincidence that if you can work-up to little party tricks like can crushing, you've already spent more than a fair amount of time on the sensible stuff.

not entirely sure... im posative i read it on some old time strongman website :/ chances are im talking bollox Wink


LOL! I love this approach... make some wild statement, then wait till someone calls you out on it before suggesting you probably don't know what you're talking about. Just thinking about the possibility that no one would have called you out. The thought of everyone believing something you imagined you read once...well it makes me sick Lee!

I've done it with a can of Coke in one hand and a can of Fanta in the other. I had to use a Red Bull in my left hand for a while though, until the strength caught up.

I really cant be arsed arguing with you Col, but dont think what I said was particularly negative?

Lets just agree to disagree though mate, you bore me when your being an argumentative cock!

it is a different strength crushing an item than holding a heavy weight! my grip strength is good but i dont think that relates to crushing a can!! can crushing is about generating as much preasure as possible on the can before it explodes!! you dont need good grip to crush it!

Thats awesome mate. IT was hard as f**k for me to crush that coke can with 2 hands!! so to do it with one is crazy strong!! i dont think i would ever be able to do that!
