Chez Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Great effort. Anyone who has ever tried a #4 knows that getting that close is amazing. I'm sure he will get it soon. Hopefully he stays healthy and can give it another shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Moyers Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Sorry to hear this. Great attempt Ioan. I know we will see you on that list in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba29 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 considering it was being aired on tv, i thought it was a sure thing. i bet he will get it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geralt Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Let's face it, the IM#4 is a HUGE gripper to close by the CC rules. Simple as that. If he got it down to 2 mm or so, than hats off for the guy. Great attempt and respect for stepping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Also shows that it is not an impossible feat. All he has to do now is keep that strength and to get luckier next time with the gripper. I'd like to see a good video of that attempt. Good job Ioan getting that close!

With the out of the box rule there is a certain luck factor. 2mm is very close and I think Ioan can mash many #4 with CC rule yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchapman Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I wonder if he took advantage of being able to oil and chest crush the gripper before attempting the cert close? That could make all the difference at a distance of 2mm from closing it fully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Squat More Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Don't apologize to anyone here man, you're a lot closer to actually certing the #4 than anyone I have ever been aware of. Next time just do some squats before hand and have a Monster or two, you'll deff. smash it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 It was a GREAT effort, Ioan, and yes you proved that it's possible and only a matter of time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIronGeek Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This is news for sure, a true #4 cert..."a strength feat for the ages" if he gets this. Even trying to cert is noteworthy :bow Absolutely agreed. I'm hoping to get a set 4 close... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
