The ultimate test of grip strength

hanging on to my dog's leash when she knows I'm about to give her a bath

I say it's the Simply Orange low acid OJ.

Not opening it the first time, that's easy... it's every time after- it forms a death grip bond with the bottle that even sometimes challenges my 16yr old weightlifting son.

Those things are on there so fricking tight it’s ridiculous. I’m not sure it’s mechanically possible for human fingers to remove it. I always use a steak knife for that shite.

Haaa. That thing is impossible

Its impossible
Knife every time

Nice, you closed it completely until the grips touched? I was able to close the #1.5

I bought the beginner set to go from a trainer to a one to a 15 to two. For some reason I just could not close the 2.5. and I brought it to work and I watched a guy who has not done anything with his hands for probably 15 years. Close it with what looked like zero effort.

I don't know if you want to call it. Shame or envy, but it was a hell of a motivator.

To anyone who is trying to improve their grip strength though I just want to say that rest periods are a huge deal, cuz you can do a lot of tendon damage if you overdo it. It has also made me shake hands like a 90 lb woman

Use both thumbs and pointer fingers, grab the tab all the way on one side, then pull up and over aggressively... works 90% of the time

I go straight for the wood-splitting maul.

Every jar in the house, according to my wife.
