Wade Gillingham Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Vincent Rivellese from New York is a relative new comer to grip training. Vincent has enjoyed challenging himself and the process of setting new athletic goals at 50 years young, proving you're never too old to start grippin'. Congrats Vincent! https://youtu.be/JrV6jGUnJAI If you want to participate in the GHP Gripper Challenge visit our page at http://www.gillinghamhp.com/challenge 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 1 hour ago, WestSlope said: Nice closes Vinnie! Thanks! Maybe I will try the challenge again, for two reps (this time I just did a second close after measuring in case one or the other was not easily reviewable on the vid, but I knew it wasn't counting for reps). I like the rep feature of this challenge. Keeps it kind of alive because the next "level" is just one more rep and you can chase that next level easier than some of the large jumps in other certs like MM 2 to 3, or COC 3 to 3.5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Gillingham Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Congrats to David Shamey from Russia for joining Ukrainian's Ushenko and Kupinsky in a 3 way tie at the top of the GHP Gripper Challenge with a huge Level 9 for 2 reps! Who is going to break this deadlock and become the first man to close a Level 9 for 3 reps? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anemptybox Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 He might be ready for a CoC 4 certification very soon. As long as he's not unlucky and get a 225+ RGC one. Seriously, 2 reps with that beast GHP 9 is one of the most impressive gripper videos I can think of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl can take down a #4 with zero problems. Like so many others, I want to see this man stay in top shape and be ready when the time comes if he is intending to certify on the 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Gillingham Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 David Shamey from Russia has been on a roll. First entering the GHP Gripper challenge last July with Level 8 x 8 reps. In January of this year he closed the #9 for 2 reps and now he closes the Level 9 for 3 reps. I asked him to send another video to confirm the measurements. 3 days later he did and closed it again for 3 reps! At 22 years old I don't think we have seen the last video from David. His strength is off the charts. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane.warrior Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) @Wade GillinghamI think the wrong year is mentioned in the video description on the youtube. should be 5/11/2020, right?

Anemptybox Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Extremely impressive! Must have lost some power since it took a few seconds to start the first rep. It's just a matter of time before we'll see four reps from David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Gillingham Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Congrats to Carlos Rivera for absolutely smashing the GHP Level 7 and posting the second best result with this level gripper that we have seen to date. I'm sure the GHP Level 8 will be next for Carlos. Carlos has a background in baseball and some pretty impressive powerlifting numbers in the IPF. https://youtu.be/GTDEKZU-6vY 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
