Bodybuilder vs Grip Challenge! 

A lot of natural athletes in this gym

these grip videos are very entertaining thanks! and the construction site video would be super intresting!

Good work Larry, Love these grip strength videos

This actually makes me feel abit better about my progress with the grippers. Gives me some much needed perspective.

Went to school with Martin, didn't know him personally but still is crazy to see him on Larry's channel. Good shit Martin! 🦾

Love these grip challenge videos. More please 😊

I hope these are not pre recorded and you are good, right now. Thx Larry, ur the man.

Been a fan of the Captains of Crush grippers since the nineties. Great topic and video Larry, thank you

Love watching the Grip challenge

@larrywheels I like these videos. I am not in anywhere the condition these bodybuilders are, but seeing them doing this made me dig out my COC grippers and even though its been a few months I still can close the #2. No chance at the moment on my #3 with the way I have been laying off, but I was suffering with an elbow issue from too much grip work so I gave it a break for 6 months or so. Glad I did not regress too much. My therapy that I invented for myself that seems to have helped me keep some of my grip strength has been to carry around a fairly medium weight kettlebell 35lb or so while walking around the house. It really has helped my tendons recover and I think also has improved my grip in ways that using a gripper wasn’t doing.

Be funny if the cleaner came and asked for one squeeze

So Larry almost died but now he's back to normal? That gotta be some kind of pr brah!

Love these type of vids ❤

Would love to see you guys make a video with Carl Myerscough, he's the strongest grip athlete ever and in the near future he will certify on the captains of crush #4.

I love the banter between these guys.

amazed by how humbled these people are

Gotta work on that grip 💪🏼

When larry enters the class the teacher will sit with the students.

Love these videos! Next time youre at armwrestling practice you should bring it! I always bring my grip dynamometer with me.

Que bueno verte bien Larry siempre inspirando a mejorar

larry makes the 1 look so easy I thought I might could do it if I tried😂 these big ass dudes can’t even close it😭 it shows u how strong larry is to close a 3

A rock gym would be an interesting place to test

They should make it so when you close the grip it closes a circuit and it buzzes or lights up etc. so you know it positively closes.

larrys fist getting rejected at 21:55 hurt me twice

Always Love Larry Wheels ❤

Love your videos 😊 Larry. It would have been fun to see you try CC in different types of jobs. Like when farmers have a meeting they can try CC. You know a farmer who worked hard with his hands prying stone with a spear and knocking down a post with a sledgehammer. Lumberjacks or loggers who are used to chopping with an ax and driving heavy chainsaws probably also have good cuts in their fists.

Welcome back Wana see Wheels vs Anatoli

I really don't like how inaccurate either the grippers or the dynamometers are. The highest I got on my GripX dynamometer was 80.5 kg (177.5 lbs) but I can do like 5-10 reps of 200 lbs grippers. Here 18:53 Larry gets 120 kg (264.6 lbs) but here 12:55 Larry easily squeezes COC #3 which is 280 lbs, and he could've repped a couple.

I closed the COC #2 on my first try ever years ago I bought a set and trained for a while, not seriously and eventually got the #2.5 for a few reps, nowhere near getting the #3

I always keep a gripper within arms reach in my truck when driving. Red light wait times are spent squeezing alternating hands; ten reps each hand till the light turns.

bro i love your videos

kinda surprising that all the bodybuliding didn't really make their grip strong. in the previous video guys who didnt evne look like they worked out where getting higher numbers. Even I can close the 1 and i'm half their size and consider myself to have pretty bad grip since I never train it directly. I guess it can depend a lot on if you're training with free weights or machines.

House movers and construction guys are monsters

What kind of hand dynamometer is this?

Those hand grippers sound as if the spring coils are grinding against each other, adding to the resistance. Would be interesting to see how much difference a tiny amount of oil in between the spring coils would make.

I'm still trying to get a grip on this video.

Do you have any exercises to improve please?

You should get the rolling thunder from iron mind and attach it to the loading pin, would make for a good challenge. I’m certified on the coc #3 but would love to try that digital grip gauge.

are all hand grippers accurate? i have loGest and it has the lbs labeled on the grippers. im just curious if anyone knows if coc is the same as LoGest. if so, why?

larry got the strenght! he does has a strong grip !!!!!

Bros flys!!

Im at capitain #2 and close to get 2.5! Im at 135lbs 5'10 male. Is it good for height and weight?

21:55 LMFAOO

Come to San Diego bro! EŌS! It would be dope to meet u and show out! 💪🏽

I think the lower u hold it ,it is easier to do cause then u won’t rely on your pinky so much

Awesome to watch the grip challenge 👌 You could consider Yosemite Larry 👍 Some strong rock climbers would be up for your challenge 🤙

I already told you all....Larry is a spartan...

I can close 2.5 and somtimes a three would love to know my grip strength on the baseline gripper

Anyone know what that random cut out with the T and exclamation mark was?

we wanna see Leonidas!!

Larry's higher than super heavyweight olympic weightlifters. Impressive.

Setting CoC with off hand is a must

Amir is an absolute tank for that age. Impressive bro.

Larry is so strong

Powerhouse Sanjacinto California!!!! Haha

Met Martin in the film room at college football, he’s a good guy

@1:58 ?error screen? Anyway, wow .... i have the sport, Trainer, 0.5 and 1.... i rep out the 1, and when i was really practice, got 5 on my left non dominant hand. So, this feels good since i havent lifted weights in years

Would be nice to get an update on the rhabdo situation

What's with the caution signs in between ?

Larry need to carry captains of crush in your store got me ordering them from amazon with no commission to you and your nice promotion anyway nice video thank you

Im just do pull up and dips for upper, i can do #2 not that hard, so my grip is >90kg?

Damn R Truth hittin the Grips now

Seeing these guys I feel like a real sleeper build xD

Get us some real OG bodybuilders. You should have had a mirror at the table so these guys could stare at themselves the whole time 😂

Now I feel not so bad about not closing the 2.5

Dude you have to show these guys how to set the gripper properly! It was hard to watch lol. Great video though I love the grip content

Almost all of them are letting the back handle slide to the back of the hand. Some of them might be able to close the #2 with some technique adjustment. This reminds me how rare it is for people to actually be able to close a #2.

How often can i train these grippers everyday to build strength and muscle? Can i do it daily like core?

Grip strength in older folks supposedly correlates to health. Those grippers can be flipped over also. I do grip closes both ways. Larry gives good advice to warm up with light grippers first because those tendons in the fingers can get hurt and they take a long time to heal. Get the blood flowing in the fingers just like any other part of the body you hit with weight training. Besides, if you try to go straight to a hard gripper and fail it is most likely that you might not fail if you warm up with less tough grippers before hitting the harder gripper. Nobody in their right mind tries to bench their max without first warming up with progressively higher weight otherwise your rotators will tear.

Forearm size matters

First bro look like a buff KingVon lol

Should't you keep them lubrificated ? Looks kinda rusty and stiff, that is probably doing more resistance than if new.. I would put some lube

Anyone know were to buy captains of crush?

Hey Larry, glad to her you are doing well, take of yourself and be safe.

I'm surprised some of these jacked guys can't close a #1. I don't even work out and i can close a #2.

Thanks for sharing

Dude you were gripping under 100 kilos at Bader's grip dungeon. Now you're gripping more than Khaled.

What's the weight on those because I do the one that's 200 pounds and I would like to know what number it is

To those wondering, this is probably about a month old video, I live out in riverside and remember the hype there was last month when he pulled up to Fitness Mania

These grip strength tests are great. Pleased to hear you're marrying a Serb too Larry- I did and never looked back. Let me know if you ever get to Montenegro :)

I would say that if you can close the #1 on the first try you have a really good grip.

Most of these guys have the grippers half way off their thumb pad (it will never close like that) i think quite a few of them can close the 2 with the numbers they're putting up on the hand dynamometer.

I can 100% close captain crush 2. And maybe 2.5-3 if I trained for it

The disparity here is very interesting. I suppose I was blessed with grip strength but I started out closing a 2.5

2 is a easy for me now 2.5 i need about 1mm. I tried 3 but its insanely hard. Most ppl i know barely can close 1.5

The myth the man the legend

Should try a mechanics shop

Larry, love ya, but you gotta make sure to explain EXACTLY how things should be done to give everyone a fair chance. The way it was explained to you should be the same way you explain it to others. And that goes for everything you have people attempting, from grip challenges to arm wrestling challenges.

Construction site is a good one! Then you should try some farmers. Those guys are some of the strongest people you will ever meet. Comes from working HARD all their life, I believe. 💪💪💪

A climbing gym would be another good place to do this at.

construction site is a great idea

dude i actually feel good about myself watching this, these guys are triple my size and i destroy them in grip:P

Currently making a video on you bro💪🏿 keep inspiring

Ayo I thought Larry was in the hospital this gotta be a upload before…….?

Yo i need to get that device for grip measurement

I bet a 20 year construction old boy would destroy the grip test

Bro who are these 35 year old looking 21's you see...

that cap guy was zesty af

Well this makes me feel better about struggling with the 1.

Did Larry Wheels close 4th CoC yet?
