Good idea.

Larry strong fr

Facts

Larry that strong strong

Bro, you literally summed up my long ass comment in one sentence 😂😂😂 I should have read yours before typing all that shit.

as a german it's always fun to compare myself to Leonidas Arkona. Frankly, it's ridiculous and you really start to appreciate that insane level of strength. Yeah, steroids and such are taken, but around 30 guys in my gym take PEDs and none of them comes close to Larry or Leonidas. They just built different.

That's why it's a challenge and not a giveaway

Not a challenge at all. At least not for me.

I really doubt, that every 5000 th person has stronger grip than Larry...

​@@youareverysmartilikeyou5117low key attempt to brag about your math skills?

lmaoo

most people dont need $500..

True he could easy got it, he wasn’t even trying that hard he had his arm straight too like tf

​@@MightbePettingmyCatbullshit lol everybody would want 500 bucks for a 3 second squeeze

Larry kinda didn’t give him a chance he was like “yup let’s wrap this up” I doubt big dude was gonna ask to go again after hearing that

@@maxk880fax he for sure would’ve went again if he knew he could

calling it now, 10 years from now he beats larry at east vs west 42. Left arm

@@dom5648no

That kid gonna grow up to be the next Mark Felix

Lol 😂

He loves the confidence and probably reminds him of his younger self. Not laughing at him bc he’s “weak”

lmao 63kg is like coc 1 i think

in middle school i had a good grip and got coc 2, then tore something in my hand trying to egogrip lol

@@greigite5191same man for some reason I can’t grip hard with my right hand

@@greigite5191 😂

to be fair, he did say he broke his hand and had not trained since.

Kg is heavier than lbs lol

@@TitanGamerMobile1 kg is like 2x a pound

@@lenatunji Not quite. If you are gonna use fast head math, just think of 100 pounds being 45 kg and do the math from there. So just 0.45x whatever kilogram unit you have.

@@Deffine haha wrong. 0.45359237 kg = 1 pound. So 100 pounds is roughly 45 kg.

@@KimLudvigsson yeah if you have 100 pounds 100 x 0.45 equals 45 pounds

Brave? Wow, I'm sure it took great bravery for him to "risk his life" like he did. Especially with something that "Dangerous!"

@@chuckf6163Bro’s hating on a 10 year old 😂

​@@bychen5011he's not hating. Just a fact. Brave was just the wrong word lol. If someone called me brave after doing this I'd look at them stupid.

His name is Marco right?

😮😮

Wtf you doing here man 😂

No vitality latin , Armwrestler from Russia you can check his grip is 159.6kg which is world record

​@@maxtylor1489 Vitaly is #3 now behind Yurkovets and Likhutev. But unofficially Nathan Holle has the WR @ 174kg

Glad someone else has noticed this. Larry used to be very socially awkward, now he seems like a full blown extrovert, haha

@@jameslane9267 I'm socially awkward. i want to be like larry

@@goldehh1069 practice brotha. Larry is constantly surrounded by people and in front of cameras. That forced him to become more socially adept. Put yourself around strangers and talk to them, over time you will improve

Gl with your free weight lifting journey man! Make sure to have good form before upping the weight and you'll be alright!

@@joostfloot5279 Thank you so much for your kind concern and advice bother. Will do. I can't risk it, although I'm crazy sometimes, but I won't.

Just because grandpa over here is weak doesn't mean everyone is 🤡

ya, I think that too

😂 .... that's why he didn't give him another chance!! Lol Would have lost $500 ...lol

@@ravsinghrajput2105 Yup, he needs to afford those steroids and protein powder.

@@ZonZorZerx I heard hes coming out with his own PR Peanut Butter Test Cyp Iso Whey 🤣😂

It doesn't work like that. The more you try, the more you get tired.

@lbc699 Dang, impressive! What is your name? I try to familiarize myself with some of the top names in grip. If you did all that back then, you should potentially be on the short list of 3.5 closers and the coveted #4 possibly. I encourage you to train again! 👍🏻

Dam. World class

what

no?

People like Larry who are not insecured are always positive.

How so

It's not rare.

iron wokers and sheep shearers would be cool too

Climbers dont do very well on dynamometr in general. If you know who Alexey Rubtsov (world champion 2009, olympian) is - i can probably find his result (spoiler it's somewhere near his bodyweight)

No, climbers don't develop their crushing strength that much. Their grip technique is mostly isometric and they have great endurance, nothing to do with peak strength crushing something in your fingers.

@@user-sc9ud8wh3t that's quite surprising. Very interesting. I stand corrected.

@@shakya00thats extremely reductive. There are several forms of climbing, and hundreds of types of hand holds. To say that "climbers don't train (a form of grip)" would be like saying "powerlifters don't do sled pulls or farmers walks." Maybe its true on average but its a blanket statement that isn't true to all. I've watched climbers score extremely well on these tests.

I’ve had these gripper things for 2 weeks and I can do 225 lbs fairly easy. But 250 lbs seems like I can’t even budge it.

You are just not as strong as you think you are 🤡

It's like a female natty bodybuilder. 😅

112kg is incredible, even better than Larry! However, sir please stop crushing people's hands during handshakes, you may break their bones 😂.

@@murozman lol! BTW I am 6'-4", 275lbs so that helps! My readings are in the high 80's low 90's now so people's hands and Larry's money is safe now! lol! Every year my grip gets weaker and weaker. :( Old age is a bummer.....

​@Joel-McConnell Good job, sir. Very respectable scores. Age is not necessarily a huge determining factor, at least from what I have researched, in holding anyone back from being super strong for grip. Odd Haugen is a great example. He holds several World records to this day, competing with 20 year olds and still lifting more (usually on the Rolling thunder or similar). He is well into his 70s. Now don't get me wrong, if there are underlying health issues then grip strength can start diminishing. You are only 58! That is not old by today's standards. Also, the strongest grip in the world in my opinion is Carl Myerscough and he is nearly 50. Use it or lose it. You have heard this many times. Go out and buy some inexpensive grippers and other grip equipment and I guarantee that your dyno scores will go back up, if you care. But please don't use age as an excuse. 😊

@@degradated I get that but they train their grip purposefully, they are also outlirers for their ages. My grip was naturally gained over 30+ years of construction which I no longer do so my grip demises each and every year. I do have one of those high end Iron 80 grippers and can close the highest setting(I forget it's poundage?) but it is getting harder to do. I am not interested in wasting what time I have left on this planet training my grip, other things to be done with that time and limited energy before it is all gone along with my grip anyway. I use my gripper when I am watching armwrestling events and that is about the extent of my training to try and maintain what I have left, it does help to maintain it some but again other more import things to be worried about. Even my dynometer just sits in it's case collecting dust, rarely pull it out. I got it to check on my demises over time as I age like once per year......regards.

Lying boomer 🤡

❤❤❤LOVE🙏🙏🙏

@dunnobagels Honestly I think it had more to do with my injury: not being fully recovered, not placing the tool in my hand properly for good technique, sweaty palms, etc. I own three of the top hand dynamometers now and I'm maxing out at 98.3kg after a few months of practice. Setting it in the proper part of your hand makes a huge difference. I also have good days and bad days and apparently in the video was a bad one. 😂

​@@degradatedI love how you are desperately coming up with excuses just like the аutist you are 🤡

@antonbarkish5924 YES! Exactly correct. I ended up purchasing the same tool Larry used and did aroud 65-70kg initially but with a couple months of practice I hit 96.6kg recently. 🤙🏻I am closing a 2.5 pretty easily and credit card closing a 2. I'm training for the Crushed to Dust Challenge, but the rolling thunder is kicking my ass! 🙂

Yep, I palmed a 50lb dumbbell and closed the COC 2 at only 162lbs. I can close the COC 2.5 now at 195lbs BW.

Vitaly laletin did 159 kg

and how train the grip?

@@Casper_-_ The strongest pull in the world on a different device to add. Vitaly Laletin in grip dynamometers is what Eddie Hall is to deadlifts. Is it worth mentioning eddie halls amazing deadlift when someone states they deadlifted say 800lbs?

@@Nick-cp8wf Since the World of grip strength isnt as widely known as deadlifting, a lot of people might Think that you are the man for having higher grip strength on a dynamometer than Larry, when you are in fact not the man.

Knew he was lying right when he said he "broke his hand"... If it was true, his other hand would have gotten better numbers

​@@Ryan-wx1biHello. I am not known as a liar. I can show you scans of my two metacarpal broken in the right hand several months prior. My right hand was always about 1.5x stronger than left. The reason the results were so close between my two hands is because I was still in the recovery phase during the filming. A few months later, after plenty of training, I am at nearly 100kg now and back to full stength. 96.6kg is my highest peak performance that I have a photo of. I'd be happy to do a 90+kg pull on video if anyone wants to challenge me. Already did a CoC 2.5 close on my channel but people still criticize. It's easy to sit behind the computer (or likely on your phone) and pass judgement, but you will not always be correct. 🫵🏻

@cxvxcbcxn Ok. I posted a clip of a 2.5 close as promised, so it's your turn for a #4. 😂

​@@Ryan-wx1bi I have never been a liar about anything. I can show you scans of my two broken metacarpal in my dominant hand just months before the video. Anyhow, I responded to most of your comments and challenges by immediately posting a 2.5 CoC close on my channel if you care to look. My right hand had been approximately 1.5x stronger than my left at my peak before the break, which explains similar figures during the healing phase. I am now hitting 98.35kg on my hand dynamometer with right and 93.75kg with left (with low testosterone), after a few months of training both hands. Those figures will improve when I get testosterone therapy, hopefully soon.

Wait untill rock climbers show up....

​@@rookieman329or visit calisthenics park

This machine specifically tests crushing grip, which Magnus has said his isn't amazing. Would love to see what his pinch grip is like as well

​@@BirdPlanlink?

Yes

The ratings that COC give their grippers aren't related at all to numbers being squeezed on a dyno. COC 3 is rated at 280lbs by the company, but closing one doesn't require you to be ANYWHERE near 280 on a dyno. Not sure at all how they rate their grippers, but COC 3s are actually around 150lbs of resistance to close

@@dan2318oc i think rates at the center of the handle. RGC rates at the very end, and neither of them are “accurate” relative to a human hand. But if you’re suggesting that closing a coc 3 and getting a dynamometer reading of ~70kg are approximately the same thing then that is wrong. Basically I agree with the first comment here. He was nowhere in the same realm as a 2.5. Not even close.

@@anomanderrake440 the new COC's are way weaker rated. And they been around for like a decade now. Dude BROKE HIS ARM and was not training or taking any roids ... that 62kg seem about right if you look at the numbers of what other people do on grippers. Serioulsy ... I have a bunch of grippers at home too. Modern 2.5 is like an old 2.0 .... I closed that at 19 for reps with a 185 bench at the time , lol. It does not take much. Also the COC is all fingers while the grip tester is all thumb. You can train your thumb on COC if you do it consciously Dude was not capping. Just the reality of COC and BREAKING BONES AS A NATTY

I can do a 2.0 5 times in a row and 220lbs is 100kg so I probably could've closed it .

COC grip strength doesn't translate to grip strength on the dynamometer. They are different types of grip strength because they are designed differently. People with large hands usually do much better on the dynamometer then they do with COC grippers. I have all of the COC grippers and a dynamometer and I can close the 2.5 but I get 84 kg on the dynamometer.

You are just weak my dude 🤡

yah and if i knew how to be a neurosurgeon i’d be one

@@MightbePettingmyCat my point was that they have strength but not technique

As someone who has trained grip strength, only the big guy who got 94 was close. Trust me the gap between 80 kg and 100 kg is huge when it comes to grip strength.

​@@MightbePettingmyCatbrooo you're so negative go to the psychologist

@@TengoMtchedlidze i have the mental capacity but not the training nor technique

He didn't intend on letting the money go, that's why he didn't let the guy that got 94kg have a second go.

True I think Leonidas Akona does 120 KG, so that is crazy high.

he didnt want to give any money out. just a vid for him to make money

Yeah he should of gave him a few pointers and a retry.

@@zGJungle exactly, especially since many others had a second attempt, I don't think that was fair at all, and if he's that desperate to kept his money he shouldn't be playing the game in the first place. What makes it worse is he'll probably earn more from the video than what he was offering to give away.

What

@@YourRealAce are you not hype for a new larry wheels video

@losttracks2 72kg is very respectable. I did 63kg in Larry's video, but after about two months of solid training with the same Baseline dynamometer, Ironmind rolling thunder, pinch hub and grippers I peaked a few weeks ago at 96.6kg. haven't been able to surpass it yet but I'm telling you, massive gains are possible within a short timeframe. 👍🏻

@@degradated That's insane! Definitely will have to pick those up or make my own.

@@Losttracks2 I took advantage of one of their sales. Black Friday might be a good time to get some stuff. That Baseline BIMS dynamometer is $126 Amazon prime right now. Well worth it - nice piece of equipment. Good luck in your grip training journey! 👊🏻
