That's some crazy strength right there, he closes the 2 like it's a Sport it's crazy

[@Hybridsayian]

Very inspiring man! you're probably the best lb for lb in Grip in the world for sure!! Keep it up!!

[@mercender5910]

[@supasayajinsongoku4464]

[@mycheesesteak]

This is fantastic work, Ivan. Congratulations.

[@ghostakra22tunisianpowerli58]

For the 3.0 filled was super smart … for more range of motion ! Man … u da strongest … 👏👏👏🥇🥇🥇

[@RealMarcoGrip]

When i watch your Videos i always think about starting gripper again...

[@bigbear1392]

Wow that's awesome 😎

[@MagicSkeleton]

Amazing progress!

[@tristanedley]

Legendary

[@stevenbaldwn4391]

Excellent as always 👍👍

[@salva_fit]

When IronMind is going to make a new COC #4.5??

[@airsoftninja295]

This guy has to go to the grip dungen with Badder for sure.

[@Vqrdict]

I closed the 1.5 for the first time last week, I bought the trainer 4months ago and legit did 1 close out of the box, I am now repoint that for 20+ I do believe it was an easy 1.5 though as I can't tell a massive difference between the 1 & the 1.5, however when I moved from the trainer to the 0.5 there was a massive difference in power, so yeah, I think I've closed a very weak 1.5 ! My goal is still closing the no.2 for 1 rep by the end of year

[@pascalrouen]

It should come faster than that in all likelihood. I started not even being able to close the Trainer. Closed the 1.5 after 7 months of training, and then closed the CoC 2, 4 months later. The jump to the 2.5 is more difficult - I'm right at the cusp of it, 3 millimeters away, and it's taken me about 10-11 months since first closing the No. 2. In total, I've been training grippers since July 2021 - so, 1 year and 9 months. And I've gone from the Trainer (rated 52 rgc) to the 2.5 (rated 122 rgc) in that time. Hoping to have my first CoC 3 close about a year from now. Just said all this to motivate you to stay with it!

[@ShadowBlack54]

​​@@pascalrouen what specific training did you do to close 1.5?, Care to share ?

[@pascalrouen]

@@ShadowBlack54 I've basically trained the same way since the start: - Warmup (light grippers ascending, just to get the blood pumping and prime my hand for some big closes) - Rest for 5 minutes - Max single attempts on goal gripper (currently the 122 CoC 2.5), trying to get it closed - Rest - Working sets on some of the next heaviest grippers, i.e. 2 sets max reps of the CoC 2, then after that 2-3 sets max reps of the CoC 1.5, holding the final closes as long as possible - Cool down (some light CoC Guide reps with each hand, and using IronMind finger extensor bands) Recently, I've started using hose clamp chokers on my grippers above my goal gripper, so on my 127 CoC 2.5 and my 132 CPW Standard Iron gripper, set to 10mm wide to work on closing strength.

[@cvspvr]

​@@ShadowBlack54i've been jerking off for the past 15 days straight. my forearm has turned into a large block of meat about the size of a microwave

[@GripperCc]

@@pascalrouen My goal is no. 3 and run twice a week, one time light training with type 5X8 at 1.5 and the second time heavy training when I run negative with no. 2.5 two laps and then two laps with no. 2 as many I can then 1.5 a lap and no.1 a lap as many as I can and always hold the last rep set 5-6 seconds. After the heavy day I rest three days and after the light one two days. Is this a sensible exercise? In any case, I increase each time! I started training grippers in January this year and can handle a very heavy No. 2 now and am working on getting No. 2.5 closed and hope to do it early next year. There are three of us who practice this and what we have noticed is that there is a lot of difference between grippers in the same class. Our Cc no. 2 is very different from our 2.5. my No. 2 is not much different at all from the lightest No. 2.5 that we have. The heaviest 2.5 that the friend has is brutal and my medium and the third friend's are the lightest. Incredible fun with grippers!

[@MilGrip76]

Looking very strong, good long holds. Keep up the good work.

[@kr0znik379]

dammm, very impressive! 😅

[@joemccabe4490]

Holy cow, please give us some tips for grip strength training, thoroughly impressive!!

[@alexmihalache3502]

Bro you need to do a dynomometer test, i think you can maximize it

[@xjasonkillxX]

make a video with grip strength tester we need to know how much kg u got

[@picmovmedia]

Great work. How many sets and reps are you doing in a session?

[@secretariatslew]

I have seen half a dozen guys just like you who were a couple mm away from certifying #4 COC who took a break, got older, and now regret it. J. Vogt, G. Sum etc. Don’t be like them!

[@Joe-mp4nw]

Good job man. You really use your thumb for that last bit, no wonder it’s huge.

[@sevendayoptions6704]

It because he has long reach with his thumb to help close the gap. Don't think moat people can wrap their thumb around like that. Not to discredit what he can do, I mean even getting half way with a coc 3 is amazing in it of itself, but just thought I would point that out.

[@kogniscent]

what is the single most beneficial set for gaining strength in this session? Would it be the 3.5 for reps?

[@IvanCuk19]

Yeah combined the 3.5 grip genie 6 help the most

[@GrandK1000]

You should take up jujitsu. With your grip strength you could probably submit most people just by squeezing their arm.

[@oppressormk2594]

This man doing judo would be a problem

[@GrandK1000]

What is your dynamometer reading?

[@user-es8tt4nr2z]

Best in the world

[@kylewilson1022]

Insanity. How does your left compare?

[@generalcornelius1880]

Holy hell. Why no cert? Crazy strong

[@HappySlapperKid]

because its fake

[@AkakNs-bw4ym]

​@@HappySlapperKidfake ? wow😂🤡

[@EmilBBechGrip]

You don't use your thumb on most of your warm ups, is that something you do to save it for the bigger closes?

[@IvanCuk19]

Yeah it’s warming up the finger flexors more imo

[@Vqrdict]

Are they going to make a 4.5 or 4.25 etc?

[@GripperCc]

Whoever you greet, you can bring them to their knees 😂

[@oppressormk2594]

Is it better to use the thumb or a thumbless grip when doing farmer walks with fat gripz? I’m trying to build my crushing strength

[@IvanCuk19]

Try them both a lot of armwrestlers do thumbless but I prefer thumb over

[@oppressormk2594]

@@IvanCuk19 I tried both and I personally like to do it with thumb I feel like I’m putting more stress into my hands doing so

[@mdeboer6453]

Your hands are like a hydrolic press when you go even heavier than COC 4 im pretty sure one day you will rep COC 4 being the only person on the planet ever.

[@Mike-bs5xi]

Savage

[@TheJsa12]

U can try ghp 10

[@oppressormk2594]

Impossible to close

[@user-es8tt4nr2z]

@@oppressormk2594 Impossible with credit card. But if you set it up deep enough, I think it's poss.

[@eutiger4789]

carl deep seted ghp10, and actually closed it with his hand the only guy ever to do it but ccs will be impossible

[@arielamar4744]

How much did the coc grippers affect the growth of your forearm?

[@devilefty3814]

My guy's repping 3.5 🥲🥲🥲

[@bangerpickleball]

are you able to do two 1.5s CoC in one hand at the same time?

[@IvanCuk19]

If im even able to grip around two of them lol, possibly

[@bangerpickleball]

@Man 🪓 Im assuming it would be harder than the sum of their weights since the grip would be more difficult. I only asked because I tried a trainer and a 1 together and had no chance

[@maksyms.]

btw, what about the left hand? do you train it? If yes, show its level.

[@eutiger4789]

Biggest thumb ever in terms of muscle

[@user-es8tt4nr2z]

Can you re-do gm-150 these days? Are you 150 kg in the right hand yet?

[@iannewman3107]

Do you ever use your left hand?

[@millerjohn619]

Do you grip with your left hand?

[@wrayth.1394]

I have a problem in my ulnar side of my wrist.After doing parallel reps with a 2,5 gripper my wrist in the ulnar side hurts a little bit and cracks sometimes .Do you have a suggestion how to fix that?

[@IvanCuk19]

Back down in grippers and work slowly up, make sure you don’t have pain before the 2.5

[@user-xu4ul1pf3d]

Капец мизинец мясной и запястье конское 👍 силён

[@tomcohen2493]

wtf.. I remember I closed 1.5 for about 8 reps but couldn't still close coc 2 for one rep.. Been training for that for about 2 months.. Is there any hope to ever achieve close of 3 or that's have to go along with genetics for it?

[@patricj951]

Genetics has a part in it. Handstrength can differ A LOT between individuals. Not everybody have the genetics for reaching the level of strength to close #3. And there are men who completely untrained are able to close #2. These are very few, though. I think they belong to those who have the genetics for reaching heavier than #3.

[@Latvian1984]

Is there any gripper harder than coc 4 at the moment? 🤔

[@user-es8tt4nr2z]

Yes, GHP 10

[@jackhanma7629]

world class gripper. i think even gorillas don't have the strength to close it

[@somerandomdragon558]

@@jackhanma7629 They definitely do.
