Russian armwrestler Evgeniy Khrychkin has just been certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper and as impressive as this accomplishment is, it might only mark the his first step in the grip-strength world: Evgeniy told IronMind that he closed a Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper the first time he tried it!
In terms of strength sports, Evgeniy Khrychin is primarily an armwrestler, but he had just been certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush Gripper, establishing his world-class grip strength. IronMind® | Photo courtesy.
How’s this for talent: Evgeniy told IronMind that he’s never really trained his grip specifically, but is going to start now and the 31-year old Master of Sport in armwrestling has his eye on certifying on the Captains of Crush No. 3.5 gripper.
Evgeniy is 187 cm tall (about 6’ 1-1/2”) and weighs 105 kg (about 231 lb.). A telecommunication manager by profession, his hobbies include snowboarding, bicycling and photography, as well as armwrestling.
Once again, IronMind would like to thank IronMind’s official referee on this attempt, Alexei Ovsiannikov, and Oleg Chernov, from AerRus, for all his liaison work related to this attempt.
Congratulations, Evgeniy - your name has been added to the official certification list for the Captains of Crush No. 3 Gripper!
