Was your point that she was licking her arm in a seductive way, or that her biceps (peak-wise) are larger than most on this website?

I'll leave that for you to decide.

I have heard that if you want to make the COC grippers (or others) harder you can tighten a hose clamp around the spring. Not sure how, or if it really works but you may want to try before you buy the next ones.

Yeah, are you? So far, only about 110 people have closed it.

PreMier · 11-17-2007, 09:59 AM

i need to be able to close the #2 a good 20x's i bet (in a row) before i even pick up a #3

danzik17 · 11-17-2007, 10:08 AM

Don't even know where to start - should I pick up a #1, or one of those trainer models first?

I have no idea where the hell my grip strength is at, but I know it's always the first thing to go when I lift on pull day.

Buy the #1. If it is too much, you can always buy the Captain or Sport models and then work back up to the #1.

PreMier · 11-17-2007, 10:13 AM

i bought a trainer to start out. i got it and it was easy, so i bought a #1. the trainer is a good one, because its easy, and it allows you to warmup properly. once i could do the #1 about 10x's then i got the #2. i couldnt close the #2 until about a week ago, but i kept trying.

AKIRA · 11-17-2007, 11:02 AM

But do these things actually help in other lifts?

Just reading this thread for the first time and wanted to say thanks to DOMS and Gazhole for the good laugh!

Call me crazy, but when I read DOMS' comment the first thing that went through my head was "Shiiit! That'd be pretty damned awesome to be able to do that" and lo-and-behold, what was Gaz's next comment... "shiiit. Thatd be pretty damned awesome to be able to do that."

I've never heard of crushing potatos before. That definitely would be fucking awesome to do. Helluva party trick.

I wanna crush potatoes.

I'd crush a potato every day if I could.

Fuck! I have tears rolling down my face from laughing!! Seriously... wtf!!? "Watch Out! Here come the Potato Crusher again! Rrrruuunnn!!!"

Crushing potatos is either really, really funny or my new 5Htp is waaaay better than my old shit!

I still want to crush potaotes, either way.

CoC... here I come.

**Gazhole** · 11-17-2007, 11:55 AM

I like how this is a serious fitness and training forum, and the main goal of at least 2 or 3 members is to crush a raw potato with one hand :P.

And i guess great minds think alike, eh Big G?

Either that or fools seldom differ.

Yup!. Stands to reason...

Fact 1. Potato crushing is cool.

Fact 2. I want to be cool.
Conclusion. If I could crush a potato I would be cool.

Perfect sense.
AND fucking hillarious.

Love this potato thread.

Yea but uh accidents can happen in the heat of the moment and well.....

Let's just say certain things aren't quite as resilient as a potato

I think it's pretty obvious that Big G likes the CoC.
