Why does he make such an effort to obscure the spring of his #4 though? I don't get it. Why doesn't he just properly show things fully in a video? Then, case closed of anyone's doubt. Simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Piche Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Just now, Hopefully said: There are photos of his #4 that seems to show evidence that the handle has been heated or tampered with in some way. And some photos, although inconclusive, seems to show the spring leg being thinner than it should. This is most likely why. Keep in mind, I would love for someone to be this strong this fast. The video starts great and then you see the close far away (for me anyway) and then it quits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 In reality, Stephen Anderson could have been doubted BIG TIME if he had take an different way of demonstrating his super fast progress. When he got on the MM ladder (known cert grippers) and what is required judging wise to go up the ladder, everyone knew it was fully vetted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen's videos from training sessions were absolutelly legit: nothing was hide, everything was made in a natural manner + CoC#4 bullet hold on the official competition talks for itself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Anderson Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Sorry fellows ive been in the woods all weekend getting away from the world! Ive received numerous messages from everyone even @Panoskal. Like i tell everyone i dont care what anyone else can do. I worry about myself. some people love the attention and it makes them thrive. If @Panoskalwants to keep good attention give the people what they want and run the ladder. Or video document everything in detail and leave it all close up where there is no questions.. just my opinion.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) I always go out of my way to document my closes. If it was me, I would treat the #4 that’s coming just like an MM certification. Show the box is sealed, Don’t let the box leave the camera frame, open it on camera and keep The gripper in frame the entire time before attempting it. Show the spring etc, It will eliminate any doubt Edited September 28, 2020 by Chez 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slazbob Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Tho, impressive...we have seen many no.4 closes before. No need to fuel speculation, IMO. Or, get super excited- he could either do it, or he is trolling...and either way I could go on with my day. maybe just a bit awkward with this sort of thing...but it doesn’t look like he’s in tune with such demonstrations of this feat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Look at the handles in the still shot of the video on the first post of this thread. Have you ever seen two handles on the same gripper of an IronMind gripper look like that? The handles look Cattywampus. I am a little Bumfuzzled. Hopefully this thread will not slide into a hopeless discussion of Taradiddle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubgeezer Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 2 hours ago, Wannagrip said: LOL! Can you translate? Cattywampus? Bumbuzzled? Taradidle? Okay. I will explain. I had heard cattywampus before, and looked up how to spell it. I think that one needs no explanation, as the handles do look pretty screwy. A website had all sorts of 19th Century words no longer in use. Bumfuzzled means “confused”, and I am confused by how they look the way they do. And, yeah, I was stretching it a little throwing in“Taradiddle”, which I misspelled, which I never heard of, but I thought the thread had the potential to go into the dumpster, and the several definitions I saw seemed to mean either a “petty lie”, or “pretentious nonsense”, or “nonsense”, which are usually the sources of bad threads. My wife, who reads way more than I, knew all of them. All kidding aside, I am bumfuzzled by the closed handles. Maybe it is the video that is causing the handles to appear not to be lined up correctly (cattywampus). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alawadhi Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Message from my friend Razaq "The people of grip, the known and the unknown accounts, here and on social media. I (Razaq) can't take up your offers. I lives in Dubai and Panagiotis in Greece. It is true I wanted to enjoy Greece by visiting him and shutting all the doubters by himself taking video and using his gripper. But it turned out he is busy and Panagiotis doesn't want you people to harass his friend (me, Razaq) and make him pay plane tickets, hotel, food and other expenses just to prove something to grip people (he knows who is asking). He will only accept Razaq if it means he won't witness him close a gripper because he feels this is offensive to Razaq being there and he doesn't want me being his friend get offended. So guys, please excuse my friend Panagiotis, maybe next time. Or a video. All I can do is to take his word only as a friend. If someone else wanna give him a visit, the floor is yours. Let then the grip jury decides after confirmation of the witness and a good clear video who The People agree on" I (Bader) did my best to translate what Razaq told me.

Alawadhi Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 And guys, the people of grip; the people who are messaging me on social media like FB and IG, please keep me out of it. Panagiotis is a man and if he wants to prove himself he will do it himself. I asked him and he promised us to send a clear video. That's all for me. Stop the fake emails too for those sending.

If a friend is willing to help you out, let him see how strong you are! I Know it’s tough to get the nervous system fired up to try a gripper like the #4 again, just show him how dominant you are with the #3.5. Looking forward to seeing more from you soon! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
