​@@Bulleieid love to test a certain technique from mma that breaks grips alby there is average peoples grips or trained grapplers which if i remember right was not as strong as most lifters and THEN there is Brian fawking shaws grip so id be sure id be cooked still alby id try with a beast like him.

[@EBMproductions1]

@@jaimemannering So we have a ton of tricks with jui jitsu to stop that it is only the forgetful that forget this remember what Gordon ryan did to hafthor and trust me he was going easy. Also didn't brian roll with a few bjj guys too and same issues popped up? Plus yes the main point is could this beasts grip get broken via technique not strength as average person kniwing this technique can maybe survive a life threatening situation if the info is shared this was not me vs brian in a fight you took that from my comment and not me or others. People think size instantly wins a fight so in self defense situations they freeze if a grappler can show these people how to get away then that aids the public not my ego or the big mans not that brian has this ego lol.

Holy, I got injured and I'm suffering from hernia in between C5 and C6 (neck), I have less feeling and power in my left arm. The physiotherapist uses this device to measure my grip strength and was amazed by my grip in my right (unsuffered) hand, pulled 75kg, I didnt know that was actually solid comparing to these units of men haha. My left only did 15kg, but its getting better!

[@michaelbellantuono2689]

Happened to me c6 to c7. Injected stem cell multiple times with prp into the disc. All power came back to the arm. Also do Copper, Vit c , collagen, HGH peptides like semorelin. Dynamic traction for your cervical. Wish you luck in recovery.

[@R6Dave11]

This trend is interesting. I got into it after seeing a video a couple years ago. Results are all over the place and not what you'd expect. From my testing of people I know, anything over 130 lbs for a guy is pretty good. My best is 176 lbs ( 48 years old and 185 lbs ). Seeing UFC guys below 150 lbs is odd. Grip strength helps so much for wrist control in grappling situations. Lots of arm wrestlers score lower than me.

[@alexmashkin863]

You don't really need crushing strength in armwrestling. I mean, if you do have it, it's nice to have, but it's not necessary, not something people train for. That being said, grip strength world record holder (or runner up, they change all the time) is an armwrestler :-)

[@djrmonix]

I'm similar 48 years of age, around 100kg bodyweight, my best pull on similar machine is 180lbs, weight training about 3 years nothing crazy heavy but do a good load of farmers walks, deadhangs, rows, carries, deadifts etc and a lot of hobbies involve grip and finger strength, sea fishing, guitar playing bit of work on my car. I brought my machine into work loads of 'normal' guys around the 100 to 130lb range. A few in the mid 140s, and a bodybuilder guy around 155lbs. A lot of younger guys pretty weak, some of the girls were better. Id say the best grips were all 50+ dudes. I feel like I am the grip god of my work ha ha. 200lbs is my target!!!
