silverbackgrip Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The date has been set! Next Wednesday on April 29th, WORLDS WILL COLLIDE! In all seriousness though, Jedd was nice enough to offer a training session with him and I accepted. Lets be real, he's forgotten more about grip than I even know, I would be a fool not to accept his help. Jedd, like many of you guys, even said it himself... If I want to establish myself as a legitimate "gripster" and gain access to things like the MM ladder, then I have to shut some grippers in front of well established Grip Athletes. Obviously, since I haven't trained in over 2 years since my injury, I sadly wont be able to smash a #3.5 next Wed. But I do plan on closing some #3's and learning as much as I can from the master. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett H Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well, I must say, if this whole grip thing doesn't pan out for you, then you should seriously consider being a promoter of some sort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Well, I must say, if this whole grip thing doesn't pan out for you, then you should seriously consider being a promoter of some sort! Very true. Hes a natural born entertainer. No matter what happens next, it will be fun to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Well, I'll tell you something, DIESELS, I saw the Silverback was deciding on making a comeback to the grip world and I've gotta make a run to the dirty jersey next week anyway, so I guess you could say the planets were aligned, gripaholics. And don't you worry about videography. I have a few different cameras and I'm sure one of them will get turned on at some point, to capture the encounter, brotherrrrr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jack Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Jedd, Maybe you can take an Inch DB as well. I bet with this guys baseline of strength and his size, he may be close to lifting it or even lifting it first day. Especially with a few pointers from a master. He seems like a decent candidate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth a try if you can lift over 200 lbs. on a 2" axle 1-handed or ~275 1-handed on a straight oly bar with revolving sleeves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not easy to lift the Inch. Bigger people than him tried my Inch and failed. Good luck to him meeting with Jedd first IF he will meet him, then good luck to him closing a #3, then good luck to him lifting the Inch which I doubt (I doubt he'll meet him as he claimed in other topic started by him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Radford Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I don't get why state a claim then back away from it?!? What's the worst what could happen . . . either dent your ego or prove people wrong!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
