I can get the 2.5, but the 3 is still maybe 1/8" from closing. My hands are much better at holding strength than crushing strength, and stronger in a more open position.

Nick Zinna doesn't post in the board but is an AW'er so I thought I'd post this. After taking part in a grip competition, and doing closes and reps for fun... he casually, while SEATED, closed a #3.5 using the "official" rules required for the certification (that is, inserting a credit card width between the handles after you set the gripper (with two hands) and then proceed to close it with one hand). So he's World Class in grippers for sure.

I can close a #3 and other brands of grippers that are harder than that, but not a #3.5.
<<< Me closing a #3 in a grip contest.

I worked up to a 3 and did it many times, but the 3.5 is too much for me, in about 6 months i should be able to do it. It's a beast gripper.

Florian K. can close 3 for reps...i will ask him tomorrow about the 3,5.. not sure!. I was only up to 2.5 for reps but never got to train specific constantly enough for coc grip-strenght to close even the 3 not thinking about the 3.5.Cause we just use them as a warm up for some Aw-training days & i am not a coc-grip-specialist like a lot of Friends here. to me the step between 2.5 to 3 is not easy & needs good work & good technique as Florian K. showed me once.I think it would be the same between 3 & 3.5..idk. but the step between 2 & 2.5 was pretty easy for me at least. I just worked with 1.5 & 2 and as i bought the 2.5...Click already closed it ;D...it was fun cause i thought i had to work for it longer too. But the 3 was so far away. cause i could just parallel it & not more. ;D. Interesting was that it felt like i can not even bring the power on it...strange...like my range was over but i had power in the tank...but i guess it was only some kind of weakness (no matter power or technique-wise) from the higher-closing ability perspective...Cause i would feel the same when a guy tell me this about the NR.2.But one thing i would do for sure...i would look if his hands are way smaller then mine or not to understand just aliitle more what kind of difficulty it could be. How easy were the steps for you guys ?? its interesting to hear. Click...Click... shawn L.: I think the size of the Hand is very very important for the Coc-3.5-closings & or other similar brands . Also the relation between palm-lenght and finger lenght...So i think for a guy with your size you will succeed soon if you keep doing it.pretty sure it will happen at least with the 3...good work and i wish you success with that. ..let us know in some time about it.. Anyway...to touch that area of 3 (with a smaller hand) & 3.5 (with a bigger hand) means a lot of real grip power for sure!. Nr.4 is for Titans-of-Crushing-grip. . I never meet someone to talk to, who can close a Nr.4 good thread even so the benefits of Coc for Aw are very limited as most of you guys know but Its a good feeling to close that Monsters! for sure and they are not absolute senseless also. happy crushing.. ;D lets hear it... A.K
