Just closed my Captain of Crush #2 (195lbs) Just saw it lying upstairs and thought 'I'll go for it'. I was actually surprised for my first time of ever closing it - and I've tried many times before - because it seemed to close quite easily! I don't care if no-one replies but I'm well chuffed now! Bring on the #2.5!
I bought mine from eBay. You get a few on there that deliver to the UK. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdF5sScN0VE]Here's the video of the close.[/ame] The camera angle isn't great I know but it closed!
Good job! And congrats on being the first person ever, in the entire world, to post up a vid of a CoC where you can actually read the damn number on the bottom.
Breast fiends, the lot of you! SDD - they go up to the CoC #4, which takes a whopping 360lbs of force to close. IIRC, there are only five people in the world certified as having closed them.
Congrats! Are you moving onto the 2.5 or the 3 next? That is painfully true! I couldn't even get a photo with my old camera.
Well I use my Eye-Toy as a webcam so you get really good quality shots (but notice how I had to adjust the camera before the close!). I'm going to wait until I can consistently close the #2 then I'm going onto the #2.5. Hows your training for the #3 going coma?
Strange, im training like a beast and getting stronger in all my lifts, yet my number 1 isnt getting any closer together..... Some grip training is needed me thinks.
Slow, I can't even close the #2.5 for reps yet. I'll get there though, one day ....and then I'll be aiming for the #4 :cry:
