I can't close the captains of crush #1's and I can hold 350+ any day of the week.
I think those sort of implements are fairly well useless for "grip" strength.
I think their main flaw is that they mainly develop the pinky and ring finger.
We had them at work so I got ridiculously strong at them as a joke. Nearly got the 3. Nearly dropped 180kg the first time I deadlifted it and I did drop 200kg. I've heard from a few other 600lb+ deadlifters they can't close the 2.
Good for beers and screwing around with mates.
They also do a balanced grip work program, focussing on farmers, pinch grip etc... I was just saying buying a CoC set and getting good at closing them won't transfer to deadlifting. Really dont need to argue this as Sticky (and if you search around) and multiple 300kg+ deadlifters can't close the CoC 2. A friend of mine who benched 180 can't close the 2, and though I don't know his deadlift max he's a fucking monster.If you go to Somewhere like gripboard.com and talk to those blokes you'll see they can also lift quite heavy.

So why not do timed holds with your first two fingers as well?

That's just as logical as saying that a decent overhead press won't make you a better bencher because numerous big benchers are shit at overhead pressing
If you hypertrophy the muscles of your hand and forearm, it WILL increase your grip strength. You just need to practice gripping the bar as well. Just as hypertrophy of any muscle will transfer to any other lifts. If you have 17" forearms what do you think your grip strength will be like? Fucking awesome
I'm leaving it at that
