UPDATE:
It's been a while since my last update and with good reason: not a lot happened until a couple of days ago. 2 days ago I finally managed a "set close" with the #2.5. This is different from a "regulation close" in that I used my left hand to help get my right hand around the gripper better in order to close it.
with the #1 and #2, I can just pick it up and close it by using my first 2 fingers to close it partially, then wrapping my ring finger and pinky around it and pulling it shut.
The #2.5 is so hard that my first two strong fingers (index and middle) can't even budge it enough to get my other 2 fingers around it.
So basically I've closed the #2.5 but with a handicap. I'm not considering myself having officially closed it by any means, but progress is progress!
As far as whether #3 is doable, it's looking not very good. Again, I am questioning whether you must have abnormally large hands or strength in order to accomplish this feat. We'll see. I've been going at the #2.5 for nearly a year now and still haven't closed it, and I train 2 days a week and haven't missed any workouts.........
