Thank you, Devinhoo

I love the Ironmind Apollo Axle. I do agree the products vary in their quality compared to the market. I've been really impressed with Arm Assassin's products, pricing, and shipping costs. FBBC has been great to work with, I should really order some of his non-benders bar products. Personally, I like supporting smaller businesses. Has anyone compared the Iron Mind LBH to FBBC's anvil? Are they even in the same league?

It's not exactly the same as a real blob, but Barrel Strength makes a true to dimensions Blob Trainer that you can hook up to a loading pin.

Isn't everyone looking for a Fatman Blob? (But add me to the looking list)

Hello all. My name is Jake and I'm 37. I've been very focused on grip training after severing a tendon and nerve in my left index finger. It started to limit my deadlift, so I started with COC, and have slowly grown into a full grip addict.

KTA needs to be taken very seriously since it really taxes the hands. I will say if you stay away from other grip training it will really build up your gripper strength.

It really depends on how much grip work you've done in the past. I found it to be an intense program and would not recommend it for beginners. I found that even though my hands had toughened up by the time I did it the second time, I still taped my fingers, and at times my palms, as much as i needed to allow me to continue the high reps and as little as possible to allow them to continue to build callouses and adapt. I found the key for me was recovery, recovery, recovery. I massaged them every day, stretched them, tried to get a full nights sleep every night and for me the most helpful part was soaking them in ice water, then hot water, back and forth several times. It's also recommended in the program that the only grip work to do is KTA and all other types of grip work is put on hold until after the program is completed. That would also be my recommendation.

I've seen all Laine's videos and yes I think Brian's lift is the most impressive. Except for the double lift that Laine did, which I mentioned.

My training for the #3 cert
Hopefully replied to Hopefully's topic in Workout Reports and Training Routines
Grippers, baaaad day. Pushed through with btr work on the TRex Benchpress, 2x8 paused 100kg 1x1 140kg BB row 80kg 3x8 Easy workout to get going, have a lot of catching up to do after being sick. Decided to start uploading videos of some gripper closes and bench sets. -
Yep, hence my point being no one ever fully lifted it without a tilt. In your views, is Brian's lift more impressive than this
-
@Alawadhi, I agree, we should be fair. None of those lifts (non-tilted) were full deadlifts. Brian's lift was slightly tilted. Still the the most impressive lift I've seen of the MDB.
-
I wouldn’t be surprised if his skinny butt can’t lift it right now... or close to being able to. 🤡
-
I think you have a definite shot! If I were a betting man... oh wait, I am. $50 says Tanner lifts it someday!

Steel Bending, Scrolling, Snapping and other forms of destruction
Donc101 replied to Donc101's topic in Bending
I kink over the knee. The hardest part of the wrench is the crush. Puts lots of pressure on the wrist. Have fun with your family today too! -
It is on my lifetime list! I hope to be one of them
-
Which is why I posted it.
-
Question: has anyone that has been a lifetime clean athlete ever lifted the Millennium DB? I'm guessing Laine has been, but don't know his entire history.
-
Due to the arguments of some here, I have new standards on what I find impressive: Anybody under 51, weighs more than 270, is more genetically gifted than me, has hands larger than 8", doesn't have a full time job, isn't all natural, eats healthy, doesn't smoke or chew, or works out inside and not a shed in the back yard is not impressive to me, no matter what they accomplish. Yea, Brian won the genetic lottery when it comes to strength sports. Yes, he isn't a "natural" athlete. Yes, this is still an extremely impressive feat because only a few men in history have ever done it. He's an elite athlete. We aren't. Get over it and enjoy the show!

Steel Bending, Scrolling, Snapping and other forms of destruction
NealB replied to Donc101's topic in Bending
I bet the 10s are pretty hard. Do you kink them over your leg. I hope you have a good weekend with your family. -
Steel Bending, Scrolling, Snapping and other forms of destruction
Donc101 replied to Donc101's topic in Bending
Thanks Neal! These are from Harbor Freight. The 10” are quite a step up from the 8”. When you put the 2 wrenches side by side, the 10” ones are way bigger and thicker.
