He had a near miss not long ago, but in his rematch with the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper, Igor Pavlov (Russia) left no doubt of his mastery of this legendary gripper.

31-year old Igor Pavlov (187 cm, 89 kg) said he has been training on Captains of Crush (CoC) grippers intermittently since 2012, having learned about them from a friend. Igor told IronMind, “I train grip two times a week: I do three warm-up sets and four with my working weight [4 work sets].”

“I work as a driver, like pull-ups on the horizontal bar, and playing billiards,” he said.

Congratulations, Igor: you have been certified on the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper, officially marking you as a man with world-class grip strength!

Here’s the link to Igor Pavlov’s official attempt to close the CoC No. 3 gripper.

Special thanks to Mikhail Baranov (Bear Grip) for his kind assistance on this attempt—very much appreciated.
