I’ve been working with the 200 and about ready to get the 250. 400 is out of my league at this time. You have to have serious Popeye forarms to close that thing!
I think I’ve got what it takes! I’m a wrestler and I work extremely hard on my grip strength. I’ve deadlifted 475lbs without straps while using a double overhand grip, so I’m pretty sure that I’m up for the 300 pounder at least!

Not sure about the COC, but the HG400 is actually around 320 pounds, still damn tough! Bill over at Heavy Grips says that quite a few guys have closed it.
There’s actually an HG500! Anyone who closes it gets $500 from Bill. The pic above is Gunter trying to do it. Came close but couldn’t quite close it.

I certainly don’t know anyone on this board that has a chance at a legit 400lb gripper. I have gotten the #3 to within 1/4 inch-but just like going from the 4th to the 5th stone in strongman-there is no comparison. This is a whole 'nother level. And this would be 40lbs more than the COC!
Of course I would like to try it-but I would definately pay to see this done!
I think I might have a shot under these conditions:
I have to be kicked in the balls whilst watching my girlfriend suck another guy’s dick, then I could most likly do it, but I would also most likly kill everyone within a 50 mile radius too so I think I’m gonna pass this time around. But hey, who couldn’t do it under those conditions?
Ok, under further consideration, I have decided that I don’t want to be kicked in the balls, and I REALLY don’t want my girlfriend giving anyone other than me a blowjob. So there.
Allright, right now I can get two solid reps on the #2 COC, have never tried a #3, but hell, you can’t know what you can do till you grab hold and try it.
The jump from the #1COC to the #2 was harder than youd think. First time I tried a #2, got it to about 1/8 of an inch and stuck there for a few months. I imagine this 40o would be similar, easy to get halfway, but then it really sets in on you. I doubt if I could close right now, could get with in 1/4 inch though.
Under normal circumstances I maynot be anle to close the thing. However, I have deadlifted over 500 pounds and have trained on the “Supergripper.” All I need to do is visualize choking my neighbors dog who shits on my front lawn every morning.
