Congratulations to Sweden’s Thomas Skalberg, who has just been certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® (CoC) Gripper, an international benchmark for world-class grip strength.

Thomas Skalberg is 26 years old, stands 187 cm (6’ 2”) tall and weighs 125 kg (275 lb.), and with this structure, it’s not surprising that Thomas said his “goal is to reach the elite level in strongman.”  Thomas told IronMind® that he been training with weights “for about 11 years,” and that he enjoys fishing as well as training.  “My next challenge is that within a year, I have closed the Captains of Crush® No. 4,” he said.

Congratulations, Thomas: Your name has been added to the official certification list for the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper.

IronMind® would like to thank Roy Rotzer (the first man certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper this year), for serving as the referee on Thomas Skalberg’s official attempt to close the No. 3 CoC.
