terminator Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 David, Ditto to what Heath said, congratulations are definitely in order! I think you have done an excellent job stating what I have kind of been thinking all along. Don't compare between brands, let each stand on their own merits, and peacefully co-exist. What a wonderful world it would be!!! I think I'm starting to suffer from a little "gripper envy", 70 grippers, wow! You are truly blessed! Keep crushing, bending, lifting etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Piche Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Wow! 520!!! I thought I was bad. 70 grippers! :hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baldy Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 520... that really is something. Since you tried it cold last time, I guess this is your first proper attempt isn't it?. Congrats! Good idea about PDA getting a list of people certified at certain inch-lbs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Yes it was. I will close it within a month without steadying my wrist. As I said earlier, the best credible way of getting a ranking system together is to use the SoS grippers only, and start from a given date. I would also not grandfather any closures of other grippers. This is also what I would advise the IGC does with all the other grip events when the IGC puts a list together. All new records start from day 1 of the IGC, under the rules set down by the IGC. No grandfathering ANY lifts, and that includes all of mine. I've thought about this a bit, and although painfull, I think it's the only way to go. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Hehe, of course you will have most of the records right away. You're the current king of hand strength. Although pinch grip may have to go to Vince Basil... just kidding, hehe. 520 is awesome, great job, Michael Falkov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
