Canadian personal trainer and strongman competitor Mike Murray has just been certified on the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper—forever marking him as having world class grip strength.

Saying that he’d been training with an adjustable gripper before for a few months before one of his strongman training partners introduce him toCaptains of Crush (CoC) grippers, Mike said he could close a CoC No. 2, maybe 2.5 the first he tried.

“I am a personal trainer so I am constantly plates and bars.” Murray told IronMind. “I am also a fairly high level strongman.”

The 6’ 2” 27 year old weighs 300 lb., has a B.Sc. in Biology from Central Michigan University and was a member of the NCAA (D1) wrestling team.

IronMind would like to thank Mark Lacina for refereeing on Mike Murray’s official attempt to close a Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper—and talking about official, congratulations, Mike, you have just been certified on the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper.
