If you ever have another comp on the day my son graduates from high school, I will quit grip. I can see it was an amazing event. I hope you do it again! Won't miss it then. Congrats to all! -

For me, hosting and competing often works out better. I spend much less time thinking about my performance, which I think is good because it means I have less time to put pressure on myself. I've noticed the same thing in armwrestling contests that I organize. -

Hey guys, my names Kody and I’ve been serious about grip training (mainly grippers) for about three months now… it’s quickly becoming a serious addiction haha! I am 32 years old, 6’3 and 270 lbs and have been playing sports and weight lifting on and off most of my adult life and can currently close a #2 CoC with both hands after grip focused training. My main goals are to certify on the #3 CoC and to get involved in this great community as much as possible! -

This news completely floored me, and I'm still spinning from it. Eric Roussin allowed me to do a dedication prior to the first event of Day 2 of the North American Grip Sport Championship. Here is the short speech I prepared. "I woke this morning to learn that our Lord needed someone with a strong Grip. He called Richard Sorin. The man called Pops, the Grip Legend, himself, has passed away. Over 20 years ago, one of the first people I learned about in the world of Grip was Richard Sorin. The first Captain of Crush. The man who coined the term Blob, he the challenged himself to lift a half 100lb York Dumbbell with a pinch grip, and was successful in doing so. Richard was my main inspiration in Grip. He's the reason I fell in love with the practice of developing a well rounded strong grip. Over the years, any time I accomplished a major goal, he was one of the first I shared the news with. The Double Old School York 45s pinch, the Thomas Inch Dumbbell Clean, just to name a couple. I had the honor of holding the Global Grip Challenge at his facility, Sorinex, in 2006 and I was the MC at Summer Strong at Sorinex in 2011. Today, as we chalk our hands and take our Grips, remember that Richard Sorin was a pioneer and paved the way for us all. And remember that no matter how well we chalk up, and how good of a grip we think we have, the people we love and look up to can be taken away from us without warning. And now, I ask for a moment of silence as I perform a 10-bell salute to the great Richard Sorin. Thank you." I then took a Silver Bullet disk and chimed it 10 times.
