Guest simon lodge Posted July 17, 2001 Share Posted July 17, 2001 Hi all I went to my local gym today I took numbers #1 & #2 & #3 coc grippers to the gym Ive been training with one of the strong men who has entered the Highland games in the past I gave him # 3 coc to try, thinking this will get him. He had no warm up he just went to close it on his first attempt my eyes nearly fell out of there sockets he got it down to about the thickness of a match away from closing it. simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Russell Latterman Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 That's really impressive. I've also heard about people from the highland games having a very strong grip Was it a new #3, or one from a few years ago. The older ones are a lot harder.

Guest simon lodge Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Solan Hi I was looking around the net and chatting to another gripboard member named Had, we got talking about powerlifting and he found mike joeph's web page, this is one of the blokes i was wrighting about who go to my local gym, im going to see how he gets on with my grippers when i next see him number # 1 # 2 # 3. MIKE JOSEPH World Drug Free Bench PressChampion 2000 . . Mike Joseph is a relative newcomer to the world of competitive powerlifting, not that you would realise that from the results that he has produced. Mike is one of the few great drug free benchers in the world and set british and european records in his first competitive year. Now looking for a more allround powerlifting result he is now competing in all lifts and is sure to produce similar great results. His main goal of this year is to finally reach that seemingly unreachable goal of a 200kg bench at only an 82.5kg bodyweight - I am sure that this will be acheived and will be justly deserved. More Information about Mike: NAME: Mike Joseph AGE: 29 DATE OF BIRTH: 23/07/1971 SPORT: Powerlifting ACHIEVEMENTS: British Bench Press Champion 1999, 2000 Overall British Champion 2000 European Bench Press Champion 1999, 2000 Overall European Champion 2000 World Bench Press Champion 1999, 2000 Overall World Champion 2000 British and European Bench Press Record at 75kg body weight, 172.5 kg bench pressed (raw power & equipped) British and European Bench Press Record at 82.5 KG bodyweight, 190 KG bench pressed (raw power & equipped) AMBITIONS: To break the current World Bench Press Record of 197.5 KG currently held by Clinton Smith from USA and to retain my current titles. I am also looking to continue progressing in the powerlifting events (squat, bench& deadlift combined) and to break as many records in these events as I can. I take great pride in the fact that I lift for a strictly "Drug Free" organization the "British Drug Free Powelifting Association" which is an affiliate of the "World Drug Free Powerlifting Federation" and as such at least 10% of lifters are drug tested at each event as well as out of competition testing. To date I have been drug tested 6 times including out of competition tests and hope that this goes some way to dispelling the myth that you need to take drugs to succeed. CURRENT TRAINING: 4 Training sessions per week. Day one = Chest/Back. Day 2 = Shoulders/Biceps. Day 3 = Legs/Triceps. Day 4 = Abs/Deadlifts/Cardio DIET: 40% Carbs, 40% protein, 20% fat. SUPPLEMENTS USED: I take progain and cyclone for 2 months and then have a month off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
