Teemu I Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 I just got myself a new, pretty hard BB Elite, which rated 3,54 on the Redneck Gripper Calibrator Replica that another Finnish gripster Matti Heiskanen built. I managed to close it a couple of times yesterday, so I decided to take it on video today. Here it is, my best gripper close so far. Quote Teemu Ilvesniemi, Finland My Blog

pdfk20 Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 trying? By that Elite close, i reckon you'll mash that MM2 no problems, looks like you are very clear as well the way you do the set and close on video, could example for MMG attempts for fellow gripsters Quote Pete Kerr, 165lbs Goals: Close current hard #3 Dominate #3 again 16/06/12 CCS several hard #3's, MM2 replica etc #3 Cert MMS #3.5 Close a brand new #3.5 out of the packet MM3 100kg 2HP Finish in the top 3 in this years WSH under 82.5kg class

lifesnotfair Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 Teemu dude! You have no idea how good it is to see you back at it again. I was scared when your finnish blog went on without an update for a month, and your last update included some talk about using a gillette razor to cut your calluses.... I was afraid you might have cut your throat accidentally or something. Awesome close!! Quote
Alawadhi Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 That was strong. Congrats. Quote Read about me in my biography.

Teemu I Posted April 25, 2007 Author Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) Good job! You keep moving up the ranks! Thank you, hard work and bringing up the overall hand strength has really paid off lately. Better pinch+RT has helped on the grippers too. Edited April 25, 2007 by Teemu I Quote Teemu Ilvesniemi, Finland My Blog

CoC#3 Posted April 25, 2007 Posted April 25, 2007 Great work dude! I own a similar elite, very slightly sub flush on the dogleg side, flush on the other side and with THOR (like yours) on the dogleg handle. It is just as hard as my #3.5, if not slightly harder at the close! That was a convincing close aswell. Quote real name: Sam Solomi
