Captains Of Crush Silver Bullet

It combines strength, endurance and power in one movement, perfect for training and competitions. Mark your best effort by squeezing the CoC Silver Bullet between the handles of your CoC gripper. CoC Silver Bullets now have engraving on the bottom.

The current version of strap holds, you hang a small weight from the strap, slip the end of the CoC Silver Bullet in between the handles of your favorite Captains of Crush gripper, and clamp down and hang on for dear life. If you let the gripper open up even a hair, the CoC Silver Bullet will fall to the ground (watch out for your feet!), marking your best effort.

The CoC Silver Bullet Hold has become a staple at top grip contests around the world–it’s a real crowd pleaser. Besides being a lot of fun for competitors and spectators alike, the CoC Silver Bullet solves a major problem in the grip(per) world: it doesn’t matter if you think your hands are too big, too small or just the right size for grippers, this is one gripper event that levels the playing field.

NOTE! Captains of Crush Silver Bullet, gripper and plate will be sold separately!

Hint! We recommend you to use a Gripper that you can close 1-5 times. Then add 2,5 kilos at the end of the strap, squeeze the gripper with the Silver Bullet between the handles and HOLD as long as you can! Mark your progress by holding heavier weights, using tougher grippers, increasing the time of your holds, or all three.

The IronMind® CoC Silver Bullet Challenge: World Record Attempt Rules

1. A genuine IronMind Captains of Crush® No. 2 (women), or No. 3 or No. 4 (men) gripper must be used.
2. The gripper must be new, in an unbroken package and opened on the spot.
3. Ordinary chalk (magnesium carbonate) may be used on the gripping hand, but nothing else is permitted (liquid chalk, for example, is specifically disallowed).
4. A genuine IronMind CoC Silver Bullet weight may either be an IronMind CoC Silver Bullet Disc or an IWF or IPF certified (calibrated) 2.5-kg plate.
5. The CoC Silver Bullet is inserted by the competitor no deeper than up to the top edge of the clear band, so that the script Captains of Crush® is legible, and so that all four fingers are in contact with the CoC gripper handle (dropping the pinky completely off the end of the gripper handle is expressly prohibited). The CoC Silver Bullet must be aligned with the handles of the gripper, which cannot overlap with the CoC Silver Bullet in what we call a three-point position.
6. Using one or two hands, the competitor closes the CoC gripper in his/her own time so that the two handles hold the CoC Silver Bullet in place and once this position has been achieved, and only one hand is holding the gripper shut, the referee gives the signal to start the clock. If the competitor fails to get a secure hold on the CoC Silver Bullet, s/he is allowed one chance to reset it.
7. The hand must be held with the gripper approximately vertical, and the referee may give one warning to correct the position. No contact between the lifting arm and the body is permitted.
8. Time stops when the Silver Bullet drops from the handles or when the referee observes any contact between the pinky and the CoC Silver Bullet, or any other illegal position.
9. Independent of the timekeeper, a referee (whose sole responsibility is the assure that the rules regarding placement, hand position, ect. are being followed) must officiate the attempts.

*Women’s rules are identical to those followed by the men, except that a CoC No. 2 must be used, rather than a CoC No. 3 or CoC No. 4.
