Alawadhi Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I found his video again. It is a classic 2012. Anyone knows where did he go to? Baseline streng grip - YouTube 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Can’t say I remember this. It does remind me of something that occurred on October 18, 1968 in Mexico City after the most amazing feat in the history of Athletics: ”You have destroyed this event.” Lynn Davies, Long Jump Olympic Medalist, Great Britain ”Next to this, we are as children.” Igor Ter-Ovanesyan, multiple Long Jump Olympic Medalist, Soviet Union ****************************** On viewing the above video: ”Positively Beamonesque”. Hubgeezer, Gripsport Nobody, USA ******************************* P.S. I just did a word search on the forum. Congratulations to Eric Milfield for being the first person and only previous person to have ever used the term “Beamonesque” on this forum. It’s not a word that is often used, and is never used lightly. Knowing roughly how “young” Eric is, I am impressed the word is in his vocabulary.

lifesnotfair Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I always thought the way he held this axe in front was very impressive (video from around the same time of the Baseline videos) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncmuRN4U3G4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had few accounts and was banned few times. He conned me once when he said he close any #4 or something and I sent him a free HG350 to close one camera. He messaged me later on and said he's done it. I was like what?! Edited March 8, 2021 by Alawadhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you copy/paste the link into your Web browser? It works for me. He has Youtube account apparently, under the nickname "machine740". There he has those 8 year old videos (baseline dyno, and the one I liked with the Axe... not impressed with the lever to the face, but when he extends it out in front with control and seemingly not that much effort). He has more recent videos from what I saw. I'm not gonna comment on whatever he claimed back then with grippers but he's obviously a strong cat. In a video he does full rom reps with 225 on bench for like 27 reps, the first ones quite easily, not your average bloke for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find with light hammers they are too easy and sometimes the quality of the lever suffers because you feel like you are gonna launch it across the room. yeah 3kg , 6.6lbs? meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Well, I rescind my Beamonesque comment based on someone accepting a gripper from a good faith donor, and not being true to his end of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy J. Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 That guy was funny. He used to make Juha sooo mad.. lol! we had a couple heated threads with that guy back then. I know Bader remembers. any of you guys also remember in one of those heated threads @Cannon busted out with some German in an attempt to put the fire out?? we went from flaming that guy for 4-5 pages to being in tears laughing at Matt’s German refereeing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I just felt like something was getting lost in translation. So I translated. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being that we had a trifecta of lost in translation going with us English speakers, Juha from Finland, and that guy from Germany or Austria, we weren’t making any headway. So you sort of saved it I suppose. Lol for anyone wondering, that guy was indeed legit. Bummer tho about the gripper that Bader sent him.. That guy was repping a GHP 8 with a set block for like 7-8 reps, and getting ridiculously close to doing the GHP9 with a set block. don’t remember seeing anything else out of him besides crush feats and respectable level trolling ability. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
