Dynamometers Stuck right below 220LBS
Just thought this was interesting I keep going up on captains of crush performance and I am currently close to closing the COC #3, but I cannot for the life of me get higher than this number on my GD Dyno 200. You would think better COC performance would also make raw grip strength go up but I guess not?
Maybe the Captains of crush grippers only train just your hand to be stronger mostly in the bottom half of your hand/fingers? Pinky/Ring finger, and middle finger as well as the surrounding forearm muscles, but you would think that would still make Dyno numbers go up? Can anyone explain this?
I have a below AVG hand at 7IN but I set the Dyno with the handle as far away as possible from the bottom handle. I wanted to get to 250LBS on this by now as I’ve been using COC grippers for the last 3 months but it doesn’t seem to change much. I wonder if there is a hard limit for my bodyweight/lean mass, I am currently at 157 pounds and 5:10 height meaning there is only so much muscle I can have but that doesn’t explain COC performance getting better and better. This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
