Let me tell you this - we had a #4 at our gym and it is utterly impossible to close. Not only couldn't I close it, but I couldn't move it one centimeter. This kid is nothing short of superhuman in terms of grip, and I say that literally. Unbelievable.
I have owned a #4 for 19 years and never come close to closing it. Have closed my #3 numerous times, but #3 to #4 is a massive jump.
@@wb5mgr yep....the #4 feels like a brick
@@wb5mgr #3 is incredible. For me anything over a #2 is damn hard. Even the #2 is very hard. I just can't fathom anything higher than the #2. LoL
@@tortillasarenotbiceps7622 I'm with u ngl. I have closed the #2.5 for a few reps. I got the coc #4 AND the GHP 10 which is even harder than coc #4 and I have NO chance to close em. Barely half way there.
I am pretty sure that someone who can close a No 3 can also break your hand by handshake if they wanted to. Maybe even starting from a 2.5 x'D
Larry is such an humble man. Never showing off, always respectful… dude you’re a good man!
His "channel" wouldn't do well of he was arrogant, rude and spit on people
Certainly seems that way on camera. But fame and fortune have a funny way of inflating one’s ego. I’m not saying Larry is not humble. I’m saying we don’t really know what he’s like off camera. If I had to guess, he’s probably generally the same humble dude off camera as he is on.
When you're one of the strongest people in the world, you have no need to show off

Ivan is already a Certifed Ironmind #3 and #3.5 gripper and, after watching this performance, will no doubt be listing at #4 very soon. The last time this was crushed was way back in 2004 (pre-rule so is harder now). Well done Ivan and expect to see you listed soon .Wish you all the best mate!! Thanks Larry, please stay in touch with Ivan and make sure he gets #4 certified! At this rate, Ironmind will have to make a #4.5 & #5 for this guy lol.
Tell us more about your workout, etc. How to reach this resulta? Like yours. In my opinion just do certain of variations, give rest, do negative squeezes, etc.
why does the card thing make it harder?
@@Gxzzabecause it now has to be open a good amount before closing, before you could set it with two hands until it was half closed, then close it
Carl Myerscough certifies on CoC No. 4 this year -2023... it`s a beast!!!
As someone who's had most of the COC grippers for over 10 years at this point, even with direct purpose training, the chance of the average person ever even coming close to closing the #4 is low at best. Just to give someone who has never closed one of these grippers an idea... the vast majority of people can't close the #1 out of the box. It takes 140lb (64kg) of pressure to close it. The #4 takes 365lb (166kg) of pressure to completely close. As mentioned in the video, even some of the worlds strongest men, guys who deadlift 1000lb+ can't even budge the bars past parallel. Make no mistake, what this guy is doing, especially considering his age and size, is an amazing feat of grip strength.
Thanks for the insight. I was just about to google how many pounds of pressure it takes to close the #4. That’s some serious strength right there.
Automechanics can close 4s all the time. carpenters too. "shrugs"
@@Lancemechanics lol bullshit i know many carpenters they not that strong

Went to high school with Ivan, was lab partners with him in physics. He was a quiet smaller kid back then. After the pandemic never heard or saw him again. Crazy to see him pop up in my recommends after I started to work on grip strength. Good for him, he worked his a** off.
Anything is made possible with steroids and HGH. 😂
@@omgwtfpwnd from the little I know about steroid use, it makes muscles grow but not the sinews. Doesn’t seem like steroids would help: they might even make a tendon snap. So, no, I don’t think this kid is doing that. I wonder if he will do a #5 by the time he is 30…

I bought a #1 coc and trained my grip for a good 3 months until I could do 15 reps with a pause. Then I had to train for a month with the #2 until I could completely close it. Now I can do 2 reps with a pause. I can barely even move #3. This guys grip strength is unreal.

Larry is such a good ambassador for the strength and fitness world. His many interests may somewhat keep him from reaching his absolute peak in any of them but it gives him and excellent understanding of so many different areas that he can really appreciate what the people he brings on are doing. And I love that he's kind of dedicated himself to helping young up and comers get exposure thru him. Such a good person, and we need more like him!
The thing is he is already at a peak level in powerlifting, I think he is just keeping himself entertained by challenging himself in newer ways.
@@peace_ful_eyes that makes sense t tbh
He closed the #3 like it was a joke. Shows what kind of strength it takes to close a #4. Incredible
Ivan competed at Armlifting USA's Arnold Armlifting Championship. He was invited as a 90kg lifter but weighed a pound or so over. No worries, he got 3rd in the 100kg class on a bunch of lifts he doesn't even train for. He's incredible.

Doesn’t make any sense. No. 3 is hard enough, 4 feels impossible.
Yea I dont think more people been to moon
I got them all, the way He closed the number 3 is insane.
The number 4 is like chrushing a brick. Crazy hand strengh genetics. Absolutely nuts and even at 19. Closing a 2,5 first time, he is a freak for sure and not even making a face, total domination 😁👍
2.5 out of the package no less
I can easily close a 2 without training for it.. Maybe I can close 2.5.. Maybe I have good genetics for it too? 🤨
Crushing a brick is a lil stretch frfr
Are there other ways to train these even if your hands are super small? My hands are so tiny that the Grippers are basically very hard to position properly for me. I can close a 1,5 but only if I use my other hand to set it beforehand.
Also, I can't close a 2 yet, I am getting kinda close but it's not enough. How to train for this? Do more repititions with the 1,5?
@@CanariasCanariass Look up gripper choking. There are different ways to do it but basically you use a clamp to make the handles closer together. You could also look into other brands of grippers that might be narrower.

Time just started
'It took so long', says the 19 year old. Bless him... I remember time perception was different to me at his age compared to now at almost 50.
Yes, when you're young years seemed to go by so slowly compared to when you get older!!!
The thing I love about arm wrestling videos by you, or Devon or whoever is the number of monsters you guys find with insane skill, attributes or potential. Love this stuff.
For those curious, that gripper was rated by Cannon PowerWorks - the foremost and official source for all things grippers and RGC gripper ratings.
Closing a #4 at 19 is incomprehensible lol. It makes me wonder if he’s also great at armwrestling, usually people with strong grips also have strong wrists. I’d like to see him AW Larry.
crushing grip isn't that important in AW in fact. It other forms of gripping/cupping the hand etc.
Actually gripping your opponent's arm as hard as you can before the start is more a rookie mistake than anything

Well done, sirs.
The laugh is freaking golden. Can't help but smile hearing him laugh like that.
I'm so glad you finally brought recognition to this guy! He already had my admiration when I found his channel a few months ago after searching youtube for someone who was able to close the CoC #4. Ferocious grip strength!
Larry, you need to get that guy on the Dynamometer and see what his all out grip strength measures. I bet it’s higher than Levan and higher than Vitaly!
Do you have any numbers for them two? Khalid had 118kg, and Larry had around 100kg.
He probably can max out the baseline dyno
@@helgedragseth4599 3 years ago Levan was at 127kg, Vitaly was at 122kg. There is a video on a Korean channel that did the test with top armwrestlers. Nowadays Levan is probably in the high 130s or 140s.
Video name is 'Unbelievable Results! Grip Strength of World Armwrestling Champions!!!'
Mark Felix would like a word
@@Shouttz Vitaly is 159.3 kg at the moment, Ivan is 132.80 kg. Which is still insanely impressive. As is Tobias Sporrong, the swede. At 25 years, he has recorded 152,6 kg, and is not a "gripper trainer". These guys have good genetics for sure.
I actually ordered the CoC #1 and #2 after watching this video, to see just how hard they are. I have above average grip strength so I thought I might be in with a shot. These things are so hard to close! I was able to close the #1 immediately, but the #2 i'm a centimeter short, it's going to take time to beat. The idea of a #3 or #4 seems impossible, this guy is out of this world!
That last cm doesn't fuck around, does it?
It's this kinda stuff that changes your thinking. That was an incredible feat of strength. Blew me away!
There's a lot more involved in strength than just muscle tissue. Very impressive.
Like put down phone and train?

Crushing the #4 is an extremely admirable feat of strength! The aggressive knurling alone on these grippers will put a damper on your attempt to close them.
people need to support humble souled ppl like this guy with a huge talent!
When Magnus Samuelsson got challenged by Svend Karlsen to close the CoC 4 (which he playfully did 2 or 3 times just to show off) he afterwards said that it has nothing to do with his hand size, its all about strenght. "if you can close #3 or #3.5 but not #4 your hand is clearly big enough, whats missing is strength"- He made a good point and this video shows that "normal" hands indeed can do it while many big hands fail.
I guess it will be harder for him doing it with a credit card tho.
Very good point
This dude is a freak make no mistake, this doesn't say anything about hand size or what the average person can do.
That is "normal" hand? Lmao, i guess i have baby hands, not that it is surprising
Magnus' was too big he had to close with 3 fingers
19:04 is when he closes number 4 for people who dont want to watch the whole video

@@YonkoOttomanWarrior yes in the middle, not at the tip
@@YonkoOttomanWarrior It depends.
Each company that makes grippers uses their own method for determining the amount of force needed to close a given gripper. Cannon Powerworks has effectively standardized ratings by using the method of applying weight (via a strap, I guess) at the end of the handle of the gripper. This is how they "rate" grippers. This particular gripper was rated by Cannon, and the rating was given in kilograms as 96. With the right setup, anyone could rate grippers this way, though, and it's not like I'm saying Cannon invented this method.
I know a lot of these companies like to quote figures such as 250, 300, 350+ lbs, and other such stratospheric numbers. I like the method that I described for keeping the figures down on planet Earth.
Very cool Larry. I like that you find raw talent and give them an opportunity to showcase their skills. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for bringing together so many people from so many diverse backgrounds. God bless.
Been using these grippers for a few years now - with some other grip equipment as well - and I would love to follow a grip training program from someone more experienced like these guys. I don't know if grip is so different from person to person - hand size/finger length/etc. - that a plan is too hard to develop, but I'd like to learn more. I've developed my own series of exercises, but realistically I'm just winging it.
I love the way Larry - after seeing the most impossible feat of strength that only a couple of guys on the planet can do - he just go "... ha ha ha ha ha", in his funny chuckle. Fabulous stuff!

@@donnasmith9942coc 1.5 can be closed in 2 3 months of training from coc 1 also without good diet or good genetic and also is a good grip strength definetly respect to you
I came back to this video because I bought #2. I decided to skip 1 and 1.5 because I had a 55kg gripper that I can rep. Been 2 weeks and I still can't close the 2 I'm like less than 1cm away from closing it and my best attempt was like around 5mm. Maybe if I started with 1.5 and had some time to play with it I would've closed #2 out of the package but that's exactly why I shot for #2. Delivery is VERY expensive here. Costs almost as much as the product itself. Came back to check out for some tips and I think I might have to get one of those resistance bands. I'm 21 and I have super small hands might even be to my advantage tbh. So don't get discouraged if you have small hands it's absolutely possible.
He started doing this when he was 16, and he turned 29 this month in his 19th birthday
I know other said it already but man, Larry is such a good man. Every single time I watch him I can't help but think of how humble he is. Considering how egocentric many bodybuilders are, he stands out from all of them.
You shouldn't talk about Mike otren like that
"I usually warm up with a 2..."
Dude, I can barely CLOSE a COC 2.
Ivan definitely has it in him to have the world's strongest grip. Pretty soon he'll be giving Mark Felix himself a run for the money!
Me warming up with S and failing to close 1
Can't really believe this guy did that. I imagined a Levan type of guy do this. And he is 19. Insane genetics and talent.
If you have never tried a CoC 4 .. just give it a go. You can't appreciate how difficult it is to close. That was INSANE
That's the kind of dude that can make you submit with just a hand shake. No fighting required. lol.
Yes! I've been watching Ivan for a while! I knew he would be an awesome feature on Larry's channel!
Absolutely awesome!!!

Put him through the grip gauntlet and bring along Khaled and Brian Shaw! 🔥
And heck bring along Levan too 😂
Very well done Ivan! That is a great accomplishment my friend.
Few people messaged me on IG asking me to watch this video and give my opinion. I did and it is a great and amazing close. Very few people can close a CoC #4. I also know Ivan and am friends with him. He is young, strong and have a bright future in strength world. Others asked me if grippers close equals overall grip. The answer is no. Gripper close means you are strong in grippers. Thick bar means you are strong in thick bar. Pinch means you are good in Pinch. Vertical bar means you are good in V-Bar. Anvil lifts means you are good at anvils and so on. Other have asked me who do is stronger in grip, Khaled or Ivan? I don't know until they meet or at least if I see Ivan's thick bar or pinch,...etc on video. What do I think is Khaled is overall better in grip strength. Like thick bar, two hand pinch, blobs, V-Bar and so on.
Others also asked me who will win in AW match. I also don't know until they both try and AW. Khaled is super strong as we all know. But it is worth mentioning that Ivan did beat John Brzenk in training. Again, we won't know until they actually have a match. No need to put this over that without evidence.
I read somewhere here that Khaled is stronger because he closed the CoC #3.5 without training and can train to close the #4. While I am sure he can close the #4 with little training but Khaled never closed a #3.5 without training. Our training is mostly documented in my channel. He closed the #1.5 in his first day after I showed him how to use the sweet spot in his hands. After all, his hand size is big and he needs to learn hand placement. He also closed the HG400 which is around CoC #2.3 or so in strength. If I remember correctly in two workouts later he closed a CoC #3. He just needed how to do it and get little adapted to it. In two and a half month he closed a CoC #3.5 on Larry's channel and got a good attempt on the CoC #4 no set. So no, Khaled did not close the #3.5 without training. But, he closed it in two and a half month of training. Khaled stropped doing grip and AW and is focusing on MMA now.
Finally, some messaged me and said we want to see Ivan come at the grip temple and humble Khaled especially through handshake. For those wondering, Ivan will never do that and nor will Khaled. This is rude. I am not sure why the hate here. But, gripper closes does not equal to hand shake strength. It will help a little but not much. Hand shake strength is more about hand size and leverage. Then again, neither will do this unprofessional act.
All great and valid points. I would just add Ivan is a lot younger than Khaled so has much more room (and time) for improvement.
Ive seen it said that gripper training does still have carry over to other grip feats, do you agree with that?
@@liamrmorgans921 Yes but not much. You will have better carry over from pinch or thick bar for grip than grippers.
I would like to add one more thing. Gripper close will focus more on the last two fingers (pinkie and ring finger) and it's dynamic strength. Static strength like a grip dynamometer (and that handle which utilizes all fingers equally unlike gripper last two fingers) is still different. Ivan is certified on the GM-150 around 138 KG or so. There are people who are in the 140s and Vitaly has the current world record. But neither of them closes a #4 yet higher than Ivan on the GM-150.
@@GripAlawadhi interesting, thanks
@@GripAlawadhi Do you remember me Mr. Grip professor? Why the drama? Ivan is stronger than Vitaly and Khaled and everyone else in the world. I don't care if you are a grip master or professor. My eye's see's Ivan closing the #4 and my mind isn't capable of reasoning logic. So I will go with Ivan being the strongest one in the entire world especially you mentioned he did beat John Brzenk HAHA! We must watch Ivan VS Levan. All hail Ivan the great!!!!!!!!
Contact captains of crush dude - ask them to make a number 4.5 just for you and call it the Ivan. I bet they'd be interested and you could probably do it too. you've got alot of untapped potential
Браво Иване Србине 🇷🇸
This guy traded having human emotions for grip strength
This should've been televised lol I'm an inch away from closing the 3.5 coc couldn't even imagine the 4. Much respect!
The Earth is Flat and Stationary, Larry for President.
This is insane. One of the strongest man on the planet at 19 years old. Grip strenght is probably the coolest strenght. Imagine what this guy will do after 10+ years of training from now.
Only grip strength, hardly the a strongest man on the planet is he. Not taking anything away from him as his grip is superhuman
@@shortfattoad7317 You started with "only grip strength" you're doing exactly what you said you weren't
He looks 30
I bought one of those cheap plastic adjustable grippers at Office Max on a whim a couple months ago and somehow became addicted to it. Now I'm looking more into it and see theres a whole world of grip training and certification. Definitely my new favorite hobby.
What a great video! 💪🏼looking forward to seeing more of this guy, hopefully he starts arm wrestling. Thanks Larry!
Ahhhh yes, I've seen this guy before! Absolutely wild grip strength, like, so difficult it's hard to even really comprehend how impressive what he does really is! Props to Larry for making this video with him.
I wonder how insane Ivan could become if he trained arm wrestling. I bet that kind of grip strength could somehow translate that into arm wrestling
From watching Devon Larrat, grp strength is a minor thing in Arm Wrestling, the most important is forearm strength by far.
No way this guy is 19 tf. He looks like 27 fr. Crazy grip strength tho
This is the oldest 19 yo guy I've seen in a long time.
If he were 30, still unbelievable. The dude closed a 4, and everyone’s trippin over his age or supposed age.
This young man has insanely strong natural strength, he's one in a million.
Man when I was 19 I still looked about 15, these guys 19 and look about 30
He doesnt look 30 he looks 20 its all the beard if you look at his face its pretty youthful
@@tejas4206 It's the beard, if he shaved he'd loook 19-20. He still has that 19 yo body and smaller head.
In 48 years of loving extreme performances and athletes in all areas across countries and continents I can say this was as shocking as Usain running the 9.59 or perhaps the Michael Jordan flu game! It just doesn't get any better than this, I was a armwrestler many moons ago and I can tell you all though my hands weren't elite by any means but strong they were, it took me a year of training to close the # 2 at 170 lbs this was just amazing! Good shit
@FastMisha Official It's actually 9.57875
Yep, i think most people don't understand how insanely impressive this is💪
@@fluffylittlebear its actually 9.572
Watching Khaled casually lift a dumbbell (multiple times, at that) that Eddie Hall couldn't lift and Brian Shaw struggled to (I think Brian got it up twice and then was done) was shocking as well.
Yes people dont how this is HOLYMOLY moment. Cant believe it how insane this is. Looks fake how easy he closed the 3.5
That's actually very impressive. My goal for next year is maybe a 2.
That kind of grip strength is weird. It largely seems to be correlated with height, hand size and overall mass but then you get outliers like this dude. Not knocking the guy but his forearms aren't ludicrously jacked either; must be just wired in a way that allows his CNS to fire super efficiently for gripping.
My hands are small, but i can close a 2 easy. i think hand size doesn't matter that much, as long as they are not overly big like for example levan. When it's too big, closing it feels awkward.
@@UntroubledPlacid Yes, a friend of mine was a heavy vehicle mechanic and he struggled to close a gripper I could close easily - not because he was weak, but because the meat of his palm got in the way. At the time I didn't know as much as I needed to to explain how to set the gripper. I am not very strong, but with the grippers I can close, I prefer a "no set" as setting the gripper just seems to disturb my coordination - I have Cerebral Palsy, so coordination is definitely a factor. My friend has, sadly, died, so I can't explain. I would love to have seen him try after some training.
@@charleshayes2528 i am sorry for your loss, but i have noticed the problems with overly big hands yeah. I think those guys need special gripper made for them. Bigger ones. It just looks so awkward for them to close even light ones
@@UntroubledPlacid Thank you. As comments are not meant to be a full autobiography, I didn't give full context. My friend died more than a decade ago. Doesn't mean I don't miss him, esp. when talking/writing about him, but the pain isn't fresh, if you know what I mean. As far as Grippers are concerned, it was odd seeing him fail with a gripper I could close easily, since he could easily do reps with weights where I could barely do a single (and I believe, a lack of self-confidence held him back from expressing his true strength.) I hadn't thought of the possibility of bigger handles, perhaps it would work. Or perhaps he needed something with a single large handle that could register pressure, say if part of the handle could be compressed against resistance - that way no risk of skin being caught between the handles.
Anyhow, I appreciate your taking the time to reply.
Nice to see Ivan get some love, the grip training community is pretty niche.
The way he SMASHED that 3.5, I had no doubt he could close that 4 lol. Like the 3.5 didn’t even phase him😂
And Larry, what is that thumbnail face🤦🏽♂️ lol !
Surprised goldfish?
Wants his Mouth fisted by these strong hands
What does these numbers mean
@@thingythingy9507 The level of the pressure of Gripper's
@@strengthhistory1936thanks bro, is there a conversion from that to kg I'm curious to see how far I stand from them😂
Ive lifted weights for many years (1984) and got my COC grippers 20 years ago (early/mid 2000s) - i could close No 2 out of the box , i'd do 3 sets of 10 on each hand touching but i could never get No 3 - i was always 1/2'' or 1cm away - This kid has real power - most everyone at the gym couldnt get No 2
Genetics are an insane difference man. Makes me sad.
I‘ve been using grippers for 2 years now and i cant even close a 2.5.
This guy just does it straight outta the package as a teenager lol.
Gotta find what your naturally good at
He is talented at grip maybe your talented in other muscles, also he seems to have ear problems always be happy with what you have
@@nejihiashi Anything is made possible with steroids and HGH. 😂
good to see underground guys in the grip community getting recognition! Ivan is wicked strong
Its mostly the technique. The kid's hand was much further down to the bottom of the device maximizing leverage. He had the bottom of the handle nearly in the middle of his palm 10:52 and his pinky almost off, where Larry had the bottom of the handle sticking out the bottom of his palm and fingers 11:42. This change alone would double the force applied (ish).
-A hater
Ivan is gifted in crushing grip - amazing at 19. Would love to see what he can do in other areas of grip.
At 19 you don't even have that grown man strength yet. They better make like a 6 or 7 for this dude. . I'd like to see Brian Shaw attempt this. He has serious grip strength
Genetic freak in terms of grip strenght. I've noticed a lot of guys who are genetically superior in terms of strenght look way older than their age.
Probably the roids tbh
Any sanitation/garbage man can close the #2 COC

@@views-nn6hm extra testosterone accelerates puberty
"l was grinding the 3.5, u didn't notice.." made my day😂😂
The ultimate grip strength test when I used to work the oil riggs in west Test in the 80s was to see if a man could break a pair of crescent CT pliers (what everyone carried) with his grip. I never seen anyone accomplish it, but heard many of stories of old timers that could
It’s funny you mention that because my dad and his buddies used to do the same thing, each time you just tighten the bolt a little more lol. Brings back memories
I've been sitting here for 10 minutes thinking what to write. this is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.He looks like a typical guy you see at the gym...nice physique but nothing special. I have been trying on the COC grippers for 8 years and have closed the2 for three reps but can't yet close the 2.5. he closed the three like I close the 0.5. to close the 4 is just unbelievable . Thanks to Larry for showcasing this amazing talent. I know I speak for a lot of people in expressing my admiration and respect for Larry.I know this post is a little disjointed but Im really still in shock from seeing the number 4 closed by this young man...
