Hey guys, I've asked some members for NN measurements, since I'm not able to purchase one - shipping would be more expensive than the implement + tax + duty cost, and that's if it even arrives. They both responded, but probably forgot about it or they are too busy, which I can completely understand. So I've found a guy to build me a replica and he's waiting for the measurements, so I gotta get them ASAP. The measurements are: Main bar length, diameter, and the width of wider portion Rolling handle length (the part where my hand goes) and hole diameter This would help me out immensely, because if I don't have them, we need to kinda improvise from the pictures. Just so you know, the implement will be used only by me with zero financial gain or intent of such, I just like the concept.  You can write it to my inbox or here, it doesn't matter. Thank you in advance.  

Mike is coming up on his 15th anniversary here on the GB (June 4th).  So 200 a year.  Pretty reasonable for a guy who loves him some grip.  👍🏻

Welcome to the madness.  Lots of strong gripsters in Texas to learn from.  Best of luck!

No big deal bro. Happened few times here LOL Don't forget to keep your hands moist. But you do that I assume. As for now, don't forget to put some lemon to heal faster....

I officially begin grip training this week in an attempt to someday become competitive among the ranks of Texas locals Adam Glass and the pound-for-pound Titan that is Tanner Merkle. Fat gripz and axle bars will be subbed in over a standard barbell for much of my regular strength and conditioning work in addition to allotting three days each week to focus on grip work specifically using the protocal and implements I outlined below. If anyone has any recommendations or suggestions, please don't hesitate to give me a shout below!
