Wow! THIS is how you do a YT instruction video! Production value non existant. All the focus is on content. No detail left out. No assumptions made. Everything explained. The more nuanced parts more than once. More than twice. Detail shown. Explicitly. From multiple angles. Anticipating where some viewers might misunderstand, and going over a different way. This is a Master Class. On the subject matter, but equally on making a functional instruction video. This answered all of my questions, but answered even more I didn't know to ask, didn't know how important they are. All that, and its from 13 years ago!
Thank you. This is how I do my products. You should check them out: www.dueselcrew.com/store/shop I don't do tutorials like this on RU-vid anymore, because nobody appreciates them. I put my heart into products, instead.
Agree 100%. Having no access to a proper, "inch" dumbbell, I made something similar by welding a piece of 60mm steel pipe round a standard dumbbell handle, making sure it was perfectly concentric. I also have a rolling thunder handle and can categorically state that whatever your max lift on the rolling thunder is, you will not lift the same weight with a fat grip type dumbbell such as the Inch. 👍
Hi, sorry for the off topic, are there measurements to know if my hand is too small to close s Coc n.3? I've been training with the powerball grippers and I can close heavy ones as they're narrower, but as soon as I got the CoC I realized how wide it is
I’m a little late to the party, but I can close a #2 pretty comfortably for a couple reps. Currently after the “Crushed to Dust” challenge. I can hub 45 lbs, and I’ve been able to rep 140s on my rolling thunder after a heavy grip workout. Hopefully I can get there soon. That and closing a #3 are my long term goals. I don’t think I’ll ever reach CTD+ or anything higher, but we’ll see.
As is often the case, the RT number is the pay off the CTD that people need the most work on. If you'd like help getting there, I have a CTD-dedicated workout product: dieselcrew.com/store/product/crushed-to-dust-workout/
A mi me parece fascinante el mundo de la fuerza de agarre. Pero hay cosas que me generan dudas. Una es el tema del uso de magnesio. Por un lado, lo entiendo, dado que estamos tratando de medir la fuerza de la mano, y no debe haber resbalamientos que comprometan dicha medida. Pero por otro lado, necesitar añadir magnesio le resta como espontaneidad a la demostración de fuerza. Como que lo hace a uno necesitado de eso. Por ejemplo, imaginemos que vamos en un paseo por el bosque y nos encontramos una piedra con forma ideal para levantar en pinza, qué vamos a decir? Hubiera traído el magnesio y lo levantaba? o la levantamos igual? Yo me fuerzo a mi mismo a no usar nada. Pero me raspo y froto los dedos contra la superficie de los discos (cuando hago agarre pinza) para sentir la mano áspera. Lo que no comprendo es, no sería más práctico utilizar implementos que ya estén forrados con algún material antideslizante,. De esa forma lo estandarizaríamos de una manera más uniforme para todos. Yo pienso por ejemplo, a un pedazo de hierro con forma de ladrillo, forrarlo todo con el material que usan para las escaleras, cinta antideslizante. Bien rugosa y áspera, de dicha forma sólo resta preocuparse de hacer fuerza y punto. Otro tema interesante es el del tamaño de las manos. Es decir, el largo. Si estamos compitiendo en fuerza de agarre y lo que queremos medir es qué tan fuerte es la mano de una persona, su palma, dedos y pulgares, los tendones de sus antebrazos que mueven esos dedos, etc. entonces habría que utilizar objetos que se puedan calibrar según la longitud de la mano de cada atleta o competidor. Porque sólo así estaríamos midiendo la fuerza de la mano de una forma pareja. Si una persona tiene la mano más larga que la otra, y procede a pellizcar o levantar un objeto determinado, lo estará levantando desde determinado ángulo de cierre, mientras que otra persona con la mano más corta tendrá un ángulo mucho más desfavorable. Recuerdo al gran levantador canadiense Doug Hepburn, decían que tenía una fuerza de mano tremenda, pero la barra olímpica estándar ya le quedaba casi como un agarre gordo debido a que sus manos no eran grandes o largas mejor dicho. Entonces lo hubiéramos puesto a levantar cabezas de mancuernas y no hubiera podido levantarlas por una cuestión de no alcanzar el diámetro, no por una cuestión de falta fuerza bruta. Es por ello, que el agarre pinza y los levantamientos gordos, nunca deben ser tan amplios que se desvirtúe o degenere lo que estamos tratando de medir y practicar y disfrutar, que es la simple fuerza de las manos.

@@gripstrength Veo que tiene productos de muy buen calidad. Lástima que aquí en mi país no hay nada de estas cosas, y tengo que usar variantes caseras. Usted realiza envíos al exterior (Argentina) ??
Bone crushing handshakes can cripple the other person by damaging the tendons and other tissue such that permanent chronic pain and inflammation results, full recovery is not possible, inability to restore full functionality and inability to use the hand for manual labour again. It is a very dirty thing to do another person.
If you think Dmitri is a scammer and somehow he made fake espanders and sealed them in new packaging, you can send him your espanders and he will close them for you on video.
I am new to grippers and grip strength overall. And in the short period of time that I have been involved, I have found it to become quite addictive. I have learned a wealth of knowledge in such little time through all the information that is available online. Unfortunately, a small amount of that has been centered around questionable certifications, and or perhaps cheating somehow. I am not surprised by this as it comes with everything in life. Clearly there are ways to tighten the certification process up as many have pointed out in other conversations to limit the types of chicanery that has previously happened. For me though with only a couple months in, and with specific grippers goals already set in place, I plan to do everything clean and without question. As for the building list of those who close the number #4 CoC gripper, it kind of reminds me back in the old strongman days when a very limited number of strength athletes could lift all five of the original McGlashen Stones - the heaviest being 140 kilos. Time passes and now we have athletes lifting much bigger stones than the previous standard in competition. Hand grippers will follow suit in the same manner as time passes and more athletes attempt closing them, I suspect.
I am new to the whole grip world. I got into it because i cracked a thomas inch off the ground and a buddy said that was pretty good and i should compete. 30 days later i picked up the dumbell. I do have pretty big hands though. So its a huge advantage
