Hubgeezer Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 The January 29 News on IronMind has a spiel on Tex Henderson, the previously-unknown-to-the-Grip Community fellow who destroyed a No. 3 for his certification at the 2006 GGC in front of Jedd Johnson and Richard Sorin. Dr. Randy says he is within 1/4 inch of the No. 4. What is impressive about that is I doubt if Tex knows what a "set" is. There is no doubt in my mind that Kevin Bussi will certify on the No. 4 before the end of 2007. However, now there may be 2 guys doing it in 2007 under the "new rules". It's just hard to comprehend for me. That is a hell of a lot of power. Hubgeezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuTCH Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Wow, that is one strong guy! I just hope this will not be another mythical figure that we will never know more about once he does get to close the #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdawg Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Got to work out with Tex yesterday. He's looking as big and strong as ever. He told me he had the 3.5 in the car, but everybody was so beat after the workout it never came out. He's definitely got as good a shot as anybody else.

Geo Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Incredible power for sure. Whatever happened to that guy Patrick who used to post here? He posted some #4 close clips (with a set) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGrip Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yeah I am rooting for Kevin and hey even Tex for that matter. Yeah I have always wondered about Patrick, the things he ever showed on video was extremely impressive. I thought I seem him a time or two on the boards but never got any response from him.

lifesnotfair Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Patrick will surprise all of you one day, do not worry. =) He doesn't post because his strength was questioned back then, even when had videos and stuff. I think Stalwart will cert this year too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handgripperman Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 My goal is to just close a GR8 #4 gripper this year. I haven't heard of anyone closing a GR8 #4 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I don't wanna take anything away from Tex... but 1/4" away on the #4 is still a long ways to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
