The next GGC would be an excellent place for you to show your grip strength to doubters. I doubt you have a very strong grip but I would be happy be proven wrong.

opnsysme Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I must say for the small group of people that actually enjoy handstrength, we spend a ridiculous amount of time BITCHING, on both sides. I can only imagine if we all took this post with a GRAIN of salt, and instead of "picking the fly sh!t out of the pepercorn" trained, we would all be that much stronger.

showlarson Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 King, if what you are looking for is an apology from those that doubted you...don't hold your breath bro. Other than provoking others and making things worse I really don't see what anyone hopes to accomplish with this back and forth sniping..I mean who really gives a crap.

austinslater Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Mikael, To say he isnt strong is rediculous. If those numbers are true then he has a good grip no doubt. He might not beat Morton, Jedd and others but would you? I see both sides of this arguement and it is entertaining, I hope it plays out alittle longer. KC-Your volume was impressive and I doubt I could do it with my #2 in that amount of time. I would like to see how many you can do with 1" reps as this is what was suggested by earlier posts. Not knocking you but Im interested in how many you do. Dave is the real deal as well . . . God Bless and good luck with your training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opnsysme Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 (edited) "Just over 2000 hits thus far. Threads like these are more important or, shall we say, more irresistible than any others." Well I like to be with the "in crowd" hahaha Anyway one more statement from CPT Sparrow's favourite island comodity... If KC, you are only looking to "show up" the doubters, and the "haters" only argue the "semantics" then I fear you both suffer the same fate!!! Savy???

king crusher Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 if my grip is on the "weakish" side then you are basically telling a ton of our fellow men that there really weak. but i relize you dont mean what your saying,your just trying to create drama. its all good lol. post your stats,they must be unreal! i do agree with one thing you said....people like these kinds of threads more then any other....for the same reason people like howard stern....to see what is said next!

king crusher Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 austin, your post was very good. thank you. my stats are true. your question sounded sincere about the 1" reps....so i will try it and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Sometimes the best way to avoid these cricumstances is to be pretty objective about what you do. I have done some feats which I thought were done in a correct manner, but videotape showed otherwise. Sometimes you just gotta suck it up and realize you weren't as good as you thought you were. I didn't see the video though. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I think you're overestimating the freakishness of 50 reps on the #2, and you're all certainly abusing quotation marks! The feat wasn't impromptu - you posted an advertisement for someone in your area with a video camera, packed up and drove however long to get there, and then rushed through some attempts. This was all done to prove a couple guys on the internet wrong. Who cares what anyone else thinks you can or can't do? It will all come to light in time. And actually, you never got your 50 reps. I liked meeting you at Steve B's gathering last year and thought you were a pretty damn cool guy so I don't know what this whole thing is about. If someone doesn't believe you, so what? It's their problem, not yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 clay, coming from you i take it as a compliment. as your at the very upper end of the grip world. i thought the same of you at steve b's...member rt tug o war...good fun. it was still pretty impromptu....a 2 day notice and i drove over and met gordon for 3 min before doing it all. i got within two of my pr....hard to get a new pr every time lol. im tired,im going to bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king crusher Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 also,i did not overestimate. i mentioned i know guys at your level could do way more...i said that to wanna via pm. i just said it was what i could do and a handful of guys said bs.

Michael86 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 My god grow up.Most of you are acting like your shit doesnt stink to people 100's of miles away over the interent.I feel like as soon as I can actually close my #2 Ill have to buy a damn camcorder or else Ill be rediculed across the tracks.I dont care what yalls pm beef is about, It seems to me crusher made a claim,got called out,and made a effort to prove himself.If your going to break wether he did or did not down to 1/4"s then thats yalls deal.The feat impressed me because I cant do it,guess im a backpatter.Dont bring your bench and squat records and basketball careers into it.Take a lesson from Clay, a guy who can probly dismember a grizzly and then go power clean a telephone pole and doesnt care and he lets all the other rediculous "stat" posters know they are infact rediculous in his signature.I cant beleive this dumbass post went to 5 pages either.

You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at you command Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
