I'm fairly certain my hands are strong enough to hold onto a billion pounds. My shoulder would probably explode, however.

For how long? I haven't tried anything above SLDL'ing 225 with double overhand for 8 reps.
No Milk, no.
Milk is for babies. When you grow up, you have to drink beer.

It kills the forearms. I can only do it for one set, and half the next set. Then it's to alternate gripping.

another good one to test your grip strength is holdling onto a pull up bar for more then 2 minutes. alot harder then it sounds.
snoogans have you ever heard of captains of crush grippers? might be something you would be interested in."the body cannot achieve what the mind cannot conceive, if you believe.....you will achieve"

That tests grip endurance, not strength.

In my deads I haven't gone past 275lb (been doing them for three weeks), but I can say at 275lb it wasn't stessing my grip out one bit.
I do my best to focus on the task at hand, and give 100% in what I'm doing at the time. Nothing else matters except the task at hand.
