Thanks for all your support everyone! Hopefully with some caffeine, cert adrenaline, and the boys screaming at me I'll be able to close her. When are you planning on giving it a go Ben?

Slam it shut Mike and higher up the MM ladder you'll continue to go as the year progresses.

Really not sure Mike. I had hoped my gripper strength would come on like wildfire and I'd have it done by the end of 2009. Well, that didn't happen. I'll have to set a date out so that I don't fall into the trap of "well I'll just get a bit stronger before attempting it..." Because that might take forever and get me nowhere. No shame in failing after all...since I've done it once before with the MM3.

Yea bro. That's what I do. I just sign up and give it a go. I figure worst thing that happens is the gripper doesn't shut. No shame in that. Those that don't fail, don't try. I think you'll get it though. You tend to rise to the occasion. :mosher Seriously have no idea if i'm ready, but that's the same way the MM1 and MM2 were for me. Just gave it a shot. Got one, missed the other. But then i knew what i had to do. HAHA. Look at me the newbie, giving you advice. That's a hoot. :blush

Thanks Neilkaz!

No dice this time around. That is a stout gripper.

1st attempt: at least 1/4" out, maybe more. Wasn't prepared for the eraser someone stuck between the handles. :blush

2nd attempt: much closer. Right around 1/8".

3rd attempt: very close. 1/16th or less.

I'm sure the 5 1/2 hour drive beforehand wasn't ideal, but having everyone there chearing me on helped a lot and more than made up for it. I even channeled the power of the mohawk today, but it wasn't to be. The gripper was stronger than me today, but it is definitely closeable. Another few weeks of training and some squats before the next attempt and I'm confident it will go down.

I'll let Frank report on his attempts. I have the gripper with me and it will be shipped back to Eric on Monday. Somebody needs to put this gripper in its place!!! :angry:

You'll do it buddy! Just like you said, now you know what it feels like for your revenge trip.

So, did Frank try to certify on the gripper?

Yes. Jedd has the video. He missed his first two attempts. The third was very, very close. I think Jedd was going to check the video to see if they touched or not.
