Congratulations to Mikhail Komshin (Russia), who has been certified on the Crushed-To-Dust® (CTD) Challenge—the international standard of outstanding all-around grip strength.

"For the last 9 years I have been involved in powerlifting and weightlifting," Komshin told IronMind. "I work as a trainer in a sport club.

"March 2025, I successfully passed the certification for CoC#3 [Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper], and as part of the preparation for closing number 3.5, I used [the] RollingThunder and Hub in my training.

My strength was enough to try to complete the CTD Challenge.
 
My plans for the future are certification for CoC#3.5," said Komshin.

Follow this link to Mikhail Komshin's official attempt on the Crushed-To-Dust (CTD) Challenge, and as you watch him sail through the CTD challege, consider Mikhail Komshin attacking the CTD+, a phenomenal leval of all-around grip strength that only two men in the world have achieved to date.

Keep your eye on Mikhail Komshin as we might well have only seen the beginning of his grip strength accomplishments.
