So glad Yves finally got some exposure! Flying under the radar despite having pound for pound the strongest grip strength in the climbing world is such a waste. He should do a collab with Juji, Megos, or Magnus and really have the world take notice.

I still have a hard understand how Yves isn't more popular. After moving to Squamish from Ottawa where I used to routeset at Coyote, I've witnessed some of the strongest men in Canada climbing in my face. Yet no one was as mind blowing as Yves. You really have to see him climb to truly understand. His strenght and power is beyond imaginable. On top of that, he is a genuinely kind human, always smiling and happy to help. Yves has made FAs in the Gatineau Park that even to this day are unrepeated. I believe he even made the first V13 in Quebec actually, The Heartbreaker in 0+ area in Luskvile. A true inspiritation who can't be compared!!

They seem to be into grip strength as well. I think they would be blown away by his pound for pound strength.

It's another KZitem video that came out two weeks ago on Larry Wheels's channel called "THE GEORGIAN HULK, LEVAN SAGINASHVILI! MIND BLOWING DISPLAY OF STRENGTH!". I highly recommend watching it because the guy in that video is enormously better than everyone else in the sport (as that video demonstrates).

Khaled Jashell. Guy with incredible pinch strength and best grip for thickbar repping the 104.5kg millennium dumbbell for 5 strict reps, closing coc #3.5. only training grip for 2 months and breaking records that strongmen and grip sport athletes known for their world class grip such as Brian Shaw and Mark Felix cant even replicate. These guys have been training all their lives and even grip athletes trained on these implements for years. And a guy from cameroon who is a mechanic just casually destroys world records without ever being to a gym once in his life or doing any grip specific training. Not to mention his ridiculous natural armwrestling strength, being able to beat UAE and indian champ, showing up to a tournament without knowing anything about armwrestling and coming first, giving world champs like Michael Todd, Kyle Hutchinson, Devon Larrat a hard time. I want to see him try climbing. His finger tendons are naturally super strong. Seen his 45lbs plate curls. Even Vitaly Laletin seemed quite suprised when he was easily doing wrist curls 35lb plate like it was nothing while vitaly looked like he was struggling to hold it up for a few seconds. Vitaly has set the record on the gm150 hand dynomemeter at 148kg but static crush doesn't mean much for other grip implements. Even grippers, as theres guys who can close coc #4 while having lower score on the gm150. Vitaly was only able to close #3.5. He is super strong though and couldn't match Khaled, same with Levan
