milkbone Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 1. Rip a deck of cards harder than the dollar store variety (China) 2. Close my BB Elite 3. Break 180 lbs on the RT 4. Bend G5-G8 6" short steel 5. Try some horseshoe bending 6. Roll a frying pan And those are just my grip-related goals ... It's going to be a busy year!

rbrown Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 . Current bests are 768 deadlift and 905 squat. ← Very impressive. ← Thanks Tom. I'll be competing with your friend Josh at the Snowman. Will you be attending by chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 (edited) HOLY CRAP ← Heath, I could easily say the same about some of your feats.. I'd still like for you to come join us sometime for training in Nashville. I really hate you didn't get to come to Kent Durso's this past spring as I believe you had planned. I was going to be there. Hope all is well. Ryan Edited December 2, 2004 by rbrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 My previous plan was to close a #3 and bend grade 5s again by the end of the year but since i've been working +320hours this month (this is sadly not a typo nor a gross estimate) i've not been able to really train for the past few weeks and i've lost some weight and strength too. So my new goals are for 2005 : - Close a #3 with a +1" set, - Bend a red nail, - Deadlift +60kgs on my 2.5" Husky handle DB. EDIT: Forgot to mention that i'll do everything to make the pinch my best event in the next Swiss Grip Comp ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtain the strongest striking power(punch) at Japan. I know I will be quite buzy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Gotenmyoou, Impressive goals and if you can cert with the #4, won't you be the first guy to do it since IM changed the rules to credit card set ? How close are you now ? I hope you do it ! .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all is well. Ryan ← Yeah, I had planned to go down there, then one thing led to another. It was going to be a 4 hr drive to cert at like 10am, or a 4hr drive to Columbus and try to do it in front of Randy so I just went to Columbus. I figured you would be there and was hoping to met you. I need to quit being lazy and just drive down there so you can show me up!! I may have to go down that way for Christmas stuff, if so I'll mail you, maybe we can meet up.

gotenmyoou Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Thanks neilkaz! Presently I could close the #4 braced. I think Clay or Heath will be certified before I do. Credit card close is hard as f#&k!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotenmyoou Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I hold the wrist with my empty hand, it makes it lot easier to close. Im working with the deep set close since credit card width is out my reach for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Can anybody find the thread that was posted this time last year of the goals we set for ourselves? I just tried to search for it but can't find it. I thought Rick Walker started it, but I could be wrong. Thanks. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This anchors the gripper better and let's me apply more force. WEIRD....... I went trought that thread, Sean Dockery had the best one, Clay's was a little um *Difficult* to obtain even by his standards.(With his easy fours and such).

Zevich Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Regain health, been a bad year sick much of the time, and also regain my previous strength levels and then some. ← Your year this year was my year last year. It has taken me all of this year to regain my past strength and pass it. Hope your next year will be your strongest yet Old Guy. Which brings up my goals: Increase in health Increase in general strength Increase in grip strength I joined the GripBoard at the perfect time when both my strength and morale was at a low point. I have received a lot of inspiration from the GB’s members which has helped me a hell of a lot more than hospital rehab and the croaker’s pills. Thanks men.

George Champlin Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Right now i am only one the trainer with the #1&2 on the way so i would say is to close the number one and maybe the numer two but that is more than likley asking too much. Also i want to try pinching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I want to get my Rb 240, 260 and HG300 OWNED. I want to compare my #3 with someone elses to see if it's (as I suspect) a mis stamped #4! And if it IS, then I want to certify on the 3, maybe get a MM cert as well. If it isn't then I want to get the evil bastard shut, even once will do, then I can certify in 2006. I want to consistantly bend blues, and be able do have my reds quaking in their boots whenever I open their case. Hit 250 on the RT. Plate curl a 15 kilo plate. Pinch my 15kilo weight from both the 4 inch and 6 inch ends with a 10 kilo plate suspended from it. And, once I've found out what I can do with this R-Ring that arrived in the post today, I'll have a goal for that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
