It's recognized throughout the strength world and anyone who can do it deserves quite a hand - officially closing the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper is one tough feat of strength and Brian Brouwer has just succeeded in joining the elite list of men who have been certified on this legendary gripper.

Brian said that he grew up working hard on his family's dairy farm in Nova Scotia and if anyone doubts the ability of hard honest work to develop incredible grip strength, consider that Brian banged out seven reps on the No. 2 Captains of Crush® Gripper the first time he tried it. Shane Delaney, president of Iron Dog Fitness, said that Brian closed the No. 3 "very easily" with his right hand, then did it with his left as well, before returning to his right hand for another successful squeeze.

Recognizing his accomplishment, IronMind® is proud to certify Brian Brouwer on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper and we have added his name to the official list: No. 3 CoC Certification.

Congratulations Brian!
