EJ Livesey Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Maybe he is actually referring to: An imp is a mythological being similar to a fairy or demon, frequently described in folklore and superstition. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Edited May 20, 2014 by EJ Livesey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChimpGrip Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 I dont think they're associated with the term "strength" like a chimpanzee, not only that, but his username looks like mine in terms of its set up as well, it's "ImpGrip". That looks very similar to mine, minus the C and H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim71 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Do keep in mind that IMP is an abreviation for Iron Mind Pads. Don't get side tracked with stuff like that whether it's a coincidence or not. Concentrate on your bending and doing worry about that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) You know what's funny? Some loser on here makes the time to mock me with a profile. Anyone who has that kind of time is probably some mooch or welfare recepient who hates to work and would rather sit around make fun of a poster on here. That reinforces the point that there are plenty of useless people in this world. I hope the worst for him. I try hard to give people the benefit of the doubt on here - but honestly some of your posts sound pretty "troll like" - not only to me but to others it seems. Most of us have been through a few real life trolls and don't have much patience with them any more. If you sincerely want help - and truly want to develop strength - the way to start is to do your homework and learn learn learn. Every question you have is very likely to have been asked and answered here on the GripBoard several times before. I feel it's your responsibility to at the least do some research before you expect it all to be handed to you by others. And don't dodge questions about your training or hesitate when asked for video - you are going to have to give before you can receive. You remind me of the HS kids I coach - wanting the most advanced routines before learning and actually doing the basics. One of my throwers asked me how to bench 300# the other day - I told him - "first you bench 200#".

JHenze646 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I actually read this whole thread hoping there was actually going to be some advice about bending spikes(as in braced - 8",10",12"). Can any one point me in the direction to find that information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know how Ryan feels about chalk, so it might be tough there. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
