Reminder of Bill's post above.  

 

 

Per our rules:

 

4. We do not talk about performance enhancing drugs on the GripBoard.

 

And why is that?

The main reason is because Bill says so.

 

 

Also, because it usually leads to people throwing jabs and flaming one another over something neither of them have any control over.  It goes downhill and everyone gets mad, we get to delete stuff and then people can talk bad about the mods.  :)

It's in the same category as discussing religion or politics. It's all opinions and a lot of people are passionate on either end of the spectrum.

Apologies to Bill, Heath, and the rest of the board. I just don't like it when others attempt to shit on the accomplishments of someone over things that are not even proven, and IMO are trivial even if true.

Major Kudos to Mike for these records, I would really love to see what he could pull on the Rolling thunder with some focused training. Felix could have someone nipping at his heels and threatening that record too.

 

I also shudder to imagine what Shaw would do at a competition like this if he got really amped up for it, hearing the stories I have heard. It is my understanding that he toys with feats in training that even some top notch grip guys would struggle with... scary.

Pretty sure Juha will be the next, dude is all around a beast, not many with his passion and dedication.

Especially because you have NO accomplishments of your own?  Sorry, I didn't realize you were the FINAL authority on everything.  Thanks for clearing it up.  We can all rest easy now.  Bumpy Umpy is on the case.

Last I checked I have a lot more than you do, and I am not the one trying to take away from world class strength like a catty, jealous little high school girl.

While you're on this forum whining about why Mike may or may not have broken those records, and how it is sooooo unfair, Mike was probably eating, sleeping, warming up with a weight that you will never touch, or being an awesome and badass individual in one way or another.

 

Think about that for a minute or ten.

Last I checked, being a loud mouth who changes his goals every other week wasn't much of an accomplishment, but what do I know.  Oh right, you have that Grade 5 bolt you reversed.  Blew me away.  The wraps WERE touching so that's super legit and awesome.  Face it my old friend, you are all talk.  Living in the shadows of giants and living off other's accomplishments.  But hey, you sound tough, and you know words like 'awesome' and 'badass' and 'jelly' (which I had to google), so its all good.  

 

Hmmm, could it be its YOU who are jealous because you know no matter how many squats you do or how angry you get, you'll never get to the top of the mountain you're always looking up to, and you just don't have the balls to actually take dope to get there and that pisses you off even more?    Last I checked, I never claimed to have, want, aspire to, or be capable what you think of as world class strength.  But it was fun having you project your massive inadequacy on me.  Let's do it again soon.   :rock

And Jon, I'm new here and everybody seems real nice, so if you want to continue our hate filled tirade, I'm down, but lets do it in private.

c'mon guys...  this is starting to look like a youtube comment section where people who've never met get in a pissing contest that ends up having nothing to do with the topic at hand

 

for the record, anyone who can take down two world records and a world class cert in day is a beast - point blank.. if anyone wants to hate then they should get in the gym and hate on some weights cuz it looks like we all got some catching up to do!  :rock

The RULES OF THE BOARD have been in place for over a decade. This being one of them. We also don't petty bicker on this forum or throw flames so if anyone wants to do that THIS PLACE is not the place for them. They can go to some other forum to have petty forum fights and arguments. Thanks.
