Mr_Crusher Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hi Everyone, I train strongman and got bitten by the grip bug, my grip training currently consists of: · Crush strength training with COC and GHP grippers (Current Gripper: COC#2*2 reps). · Rock climbing / hang boarding once to twice a week. · Farmers Walk. My training isn’t very structured but I’m looking into starting the RRBT program and getting a rolling deadlift handle for open hand crushing strength, my short-term goal is to close the COC#2.5 for eight reps and my lifetime goal is to close a COC#4.

connorkautz Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) Hey! My name is Connor. I live in Georgia, USA. I'm 22, 5' 11" and 185lb. Hands are pretty average. I've been interested in grip since I was in middle school, and have worked with a pair of 150 and 200 BoneCrushers on and off since then. I also worked at a greenhouse for a year and my pinch grip was constantly worked until failure. I broke my right(D) hand a year ago, and am working on seriously rehabilitating it starting about 3 weeks ago. I finally got back to closing the 200 a few days ago, and can do it fairly easily now. I'll be getting a few Arm Assassin pieces ordered soon, and have an axle bar in route. Hopefully I can close the 2.5 soon.

Perryfamily208 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hey I'm Sean I'm 30 and 6' 200lb I've been lurking this site for along time and just got around to signing up. I've been lifting for a few years, mostly modern strongman and oldtime, also I'm working towards highland games events. My grip adventure started by accident 2 yrs ago and found I had a talent for it and love it. Now I just started bending and did my first horseshoes a few weeks ago. Next I'm going to try some long bar bending. Also I had a hand sprain question and wasn't sure we're to post it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devinhoo Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hello! My name is Devin and I've been rock climbing for about 4 years now—mostly bouldering—and got up to to V9 before I moved more towards powerlifting (finally got my total to 1000 lbs). Over the past year I've moved more into strongman and grip work. Right now I train my grip 4x a week; Rolling Thunder Monday, 90 mm wood pinch block Wednesday (after deadlifting ), Dinnie Stones Friday, and Farmer's Walks Saturday. Someday hoping to compete in Strongman and maybe a grip competition. Totally inspired by hanging out with Clay Edgin over the summer, and now I want to lift the Blob and the Thomas Inch. Long term goals are to plate pinch two 45's and to lift the *real* Dinnie Stones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2sweetdadstrength Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi all, My name is Richard, and I'm a novice grip lifter from Kentucky. I've been specifically training grip for around a year. I will be competing at King Kong in Nashville this weekend, so I'm excited to do my first competition ever and to meet the other competitors! I have never used any of the specific implements for the competition so I have no idea how I will do, which is kind of fun. I was unaware that grip sport was even a thing until a few months ago, aside from the Iron Mind certifications. I post training videos regularly on Instagram under this same username (2sweetdadstrength) and probably already follow a lot of the people here. Current best lifts are one-handed Blockbuster ~56 lbs, Rolling Thunder ~135 (just got it a few weeks ago), and almost closing a CoC #2. Nothing too crazy, but I'm making steady progress. I just keep grinding and trying to get better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulFord Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I’m Paul, I had a lot of time to play with grippers about 15 years ago. Getting back into the grip since the kids don’t leave me with a lot of time to get to the gym, and the grip stuff has a small foot print.

jdm132005 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Hi, my name is Josh. 35 years old. I bought my first CoC in 2002. I have just recently begun to take arm sport training seriously. My long term goals are the close CoC #3, lift the inch, and bend the red nail - feats I hope to accomplish by the time I'm 40.
