dyoder16 Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 I train Jr. High Football Players and Wrestlers, and I promised them that if they closed a gripper I would put their name up on this website. Today was the first one. Ryan Marcinko, 14 yrs. old, 130lbs. Closed the trainer left handed and right handed. Good job!! Dave Yoder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Very good job. I have taken the full set to the OH dinner and some of the well trained oldies could not shut the trainer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyoder16 Posted July 2, 2002 Author Share Posted July 2, 2002 Thanks Wannagrip. I have three within 1/16" so there should be more to follow in a couple of weeks. Dave Yoder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baldy Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Way to go Ryan! Good idea Dave. Wrestlers can always use some extra grip on the mat, both limit strength and (especially) stamina. Best wishes to your team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoeQ1966 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 good job to all the kids doing this..Its good that you are training them about grip strength so young..You are only as strong as your weakest link and in alot of people it is the grip..You are helping them get a good base. good luck to all of the young men.

dyoder16 Posted August 5, 2002 Author Share Posted August 5, 2002 Got another one, although he is a high school kid. He just got the okay to start lifting this week after having shoulder reconstruction this past spring. Rodney Brown, 17 years old, 225lbs. Justin Browns big brother. Closed the trainer easily with both hands. 1/16" on the #1. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
