Cannon 3,608 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 The GripBoard Proudly Certifies: Mike Rinderle As having closed the Mash Monster Elite Gripper (Level 2) with one hand under strict and uniformly ethical and authenticated conditions. The certification is granted by the GripBoard as an independent third party with no ethical or commercial conflict of interest. The Mash Monster Gripper was one of a limited number supplied by, rated and qualified by, and controlled by the Board. This momentous feat was demonstrated on video to assure it will be valid for historical posterity. Mike mashes the GripBoard Mash Monster Gripper - Level 2 Name: Mike Rinderle Location: USA Age: 42 Height: 6'3" Weight: 253 Date of Feat: November 19, 2009 Witness: Melissa Rinderle VIDEO: How Long Grip Training: Since February 2009 (had messed around for a couple months with a buddy's HGs here are work a couple of years ago). Current Grip Training Program: Recently finished Bill Piche's RRBT experimental training program. It was brutal, but well worth it. After recovering and peaking, it was exactly what I needed to get the MM2. After the peaking phase (and after my failed attempt a couple of weeks ago), I also incorporated some choker work on heavier grippers as well. Thanks to Brent Barbe for lending me his RB300. I think that was exactly what I needed to get me over the top. I also have been doing a lot of pinch, axle, 1" vbar and block weight work. Other Training Info: Emphasis is on full body compound movements: Deads, squats, row, bench, overhead press, etc. Acknowledgements: First of all, my lovely wife Melissa for puttin up with this stuff. All the guys from the GripBoard, expecially: Goody, Jedd, Brent, John, Sam, Frank, Franky, Teemu, Manthos, Ben, Chris, Jason, Matt, Todd, Paul, Rico, Eric, Smitty, Bill, and a bunch of other people I am sure I am forgetting. Thanks everyone for all your help and support! Mike Rinderle, the 34th Man in the World to close the Mash Monster Gripper - Level 2.

Guest Bullitt Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hey, you look kind of scary in that picture, Mike. What did you do, just stare the gripper down into submission? I told him that I was going to have you run over him in your truck if he didn't behave. Big set of forearms Congrats on the close Thanks, but I just photoshopped my head on Frank's pic (Magnus). I was too embarassed to use mine. Well done, Mike! Thanks bro. Great job with the page! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
