It’s the best known benchmark of world class grip strength—officially closing the Captains of Crush (CoC) No. 3 gripper—and IronMind is proud to certify Youichi Okazaki has done just that.

Farming has given Youichi Okazaki a strong grip—so strong that he could close a Captains of Crush No. 2 gripper the first time he tried them, but don’t think this is the be-all, end-all of his grip training.
Asked how often he trains and what is his typical gripper workout, Mr. Okazaki told IronMind, “Twice a week 4 to 6 hours workout.  My typical gripper workout is grip by positive and negative with CoC Grippers, Ivanko Supergripper and a grip machine.  I do wrist curl, reverse wrist curl and wrist rolling too.

“My job is company work and farming.   [In terms of sports] I am the most interested in grip training, chinning exercises, bench press, running and skiing   I like fishing too.
“My best records:  CoC Gripper No.3.5  deep set close, Smedley hand dynamometer 100kg+; Bench press 110 kg.   For the next plan, I want to be certified Captains of Crush No.3.5.
“CoC Grippers are the most favorite equipment for grip training.   I'm very happy to know IronMind and those products,” Youihi Okazaki said.

We’re flattered to hear that and want to be the first to congratulate you on your success: Your name has been added to the official certification list for the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper.  IronMind would also like to thank Tamotsu Izaki for refereeing Mr. Okazaki’s to close a Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper under official conditions.
