Ten years ago since my last post here. That's a long time in grip strength. Life got the better of me, chasing too many squirrels. Went through some health issues, gym has been inconsistent, and the grippers are heavily coated with basement dust. Tried them a few days ago, can't close the #2. Got 5 reps on the 1.5. Have trouble ripping phone books too. They just don't seem to want to go. Oddly, I can still rip a deck of cards fairly easily.
So what brought me here today? A friend gave me a deck of cards to rip. I could barely tear a crease in the top. Yeah, they were plastic coated. I got pissed, and spent 20 minutes working on those. Finally got through them. Made me wonder what's still in the tank. Ain't no better place than here for a fill up!
