      Whats considered "average"

      By Cannon · Posted

      My experience is similar. I have run many "grip gauntlet" booths at USAPL meets and had grippers at my desk in corporate America for about 15 years. The average guy, untrained in grip, can close a #1 after they've been shown anything about how to hold the gripper. There was more upside at the powerlifting meets. Sometimes a guy would walk up and no set a #2 and ask "what are these?" That never happened at my desk job. A lot of the powerlifting folks could give the #2 a real scare after being shown how to hold a gripper. There was more downside at the corporate crowd. There would be guys who just couldn't quite get the Trainer even after receiving tips. You could always see the skew was really affecting them from a coordination standpoint and they would predictably exclaim, "it's trying to twist out of my hand!"  But, on average, any given untrained guy that tried could usually close the #1.

      Doug Dude's Training Highlights

      By Vinnie · Posted

      Phew!  Heal fast young padawan. I am really looking forward to coming, but I have not lost the weight I hoped to lose or trained at all.  So I will be coming in finding out my pre-training baselines, instead of chasing PRs and $150 prizes. On the bright side, I did lose enough weight to come in as 80kg for arm lifting, and usually I need to cut the last few days to get that low.  So I may be able to get down even a little further, maybe 170 pounds, and at least make it look like I MIGHT do a double BW axle or a 1.3 BW Saxon.  But at 170 and untrained, those feats will elude me, as I have never come within 10 per cent of either.

      Nice work in those vids Doug. So glad, could have been much worse. I’ve had some very close calls myself and try to take the good out of it and learn something.
