I set the school record on one of those grip meters for grip total: 158 and 154 lbs.

Rested on my laurels since....

Well I bounced back and forth from WOW to Really? To LOL. Thanks all for the interesting read. Thank goodness I do not own a pair of bath scales. Probably not be a good deal and would be all 3 at once.....

Captains of Crush make the world's premier grip strength trainers. Made in USA and calibrated.

Level 3,3.5,and 4 can get you world certified. Less than 10 people can squeeze level 4.

Level 1.5 is 167. 5 lbs. Most men can't squeeze it all the way.

Working men usually can. 1476162595722.jpeg

When I met my wife first time (30 years ago) it was clear to me, after first handshake, that she was different than most. She was a twig 120# but she could squeeze blood from your hand if she would want. When kids were in HS our son would bring home his friends and made them to arm wrestle with her. If I remember it right there was only one guy she had some trouble with. She beat them all. Thirty years later she is still a twig, somewhat weaker, but building retaining wall (her current project) lifting #50+ boulders with no problems.
Speaking about myself I am significantly weaker partly due to a past job requiring no physical strength and partly due to torn biceps in right hand and torn tendons in left hand middle finger. I am retired now working on our hobby farm getting slowly stronger.

Way back when I was a kid, we had a preacher that was full time and a part time farmer. He had the biggest hands I have ever seen. I mean Paul Bunyan hands. Rock crusher hands and rough. I still remember as a kid shaking his hand as I grew up. I would squeeze as hard as I could and he would carefully squeeze back just enough to make me give up. A more kinder gentler man I have never met.

The strongest kids in my high school were the ones that miked cows twice a day.

Every day I spend in this room at this computer, I get weaker.

I hear you. I was in I.T. for about 25 years. I changed jobs to a maintenance technician and lost about 38 pounds over two and a half years just from getting out from behind that desk. I recently touched 199# for the first time in about 20 years! :laughing: But I think the permanent damage to my wrists have been done from all the keyboarding and mouse work. :rolleyes:
