Glenn Richard Brekke, the 119th man in the world to close the Mash Monster Gripper - Level 1

 

Could you tell us a little about your background in lifting?
I competed in javelin throwing in my youth and needed strength, so I started lifting when I was 14years. After I was done with throwing,
I only lifted till I finished my military service, then I began boxing. I boxed for 10 years, while still lifting heavy, until I had to operate on both shoulders. Went to treatment for 2 years before I could lift again, after that I have always lifted and trained my grip. Lifting is a huge part of my life.

How did you get into grip training?
A good friend of mine came home from his studies in England with a Robert Baraban 130 gripper, I loved it right away.

How has your grip routine changed since you first started training your grip?

There seems to be a significant variation in the frequency of grip workouts among trainees. Have you experimented with workout frequency and it’s affect on your training?

Must say grippers, but I like em all.

What kind of starting routine would you recommend for a trainee new to grip training?
Many varieties of essential exercises for grippers (crush), wrist, thick bar and pinch for about once a week.

Who do you most admire in gripdom?

Nothing, everything is a lesson.
