Worlds Strongest Redneck?

[lok222]

Have you guys seen Country fried videos? This guy on there Steve Magranahan (sp?) they call him "the worlds strongest redneck"

he has done some impressive things.. does anyone know of him? I wonder if he has done COC?

[GetAGrip87]

Lol, he is very well known. He is one of the strongest here on the GripBoard and yes he is a COC. He is also on the MM ladder. He does alot of crazy strength feats and everyone always says he is a very nice guy.

Here is his website.

wow, you mean he comes on here? that's cool

what's MM ladder? excuse my ignorance.. I'm learning all this stuff. I've always been pretty strong, I am just getting intp grip training.. I bought a COC 1 and wish I had got the 2. I'm gonna buy that next. I dont have a blob or anything.. but I have solid weights I was going to try picking them up with pinch grip

[GetAGrip87]

He doesn't come on here that much anymore.

Very few people actually have a "The Blob" but block weights are just fine. Get some dumbells and cut the block heads off. Block weights are great for overall hand strength and definately pick up a Coc #2.

MM=Mash Monster; There are 6 Mash Monster Grippers and a level for each one. You qualify to attempt these grippers after you have proof of a #3 close. You have to do the Grippers order from 1 to 6.

Thanks!

I was thinking of just trying my 50lb dumbell without cutting it, like from the top.. do that make sense?

I'm going to order the COC #2, I want to have ridiculous grip. I have not even lifted in a while, just crazy pushups, handstand pushups, fingertip pushups.. etc..

Yes, that is called lifting it by the face. After you cut it you can still do that, but you should really think about getting some heavier ones and making block weights out of them. They definately help develope overall hand strength and it carries over to other grip exercises as well.

If you want a ridiculous grip don't rely on CoC grippers to do that for you. Like John Brookfield has said, Block Weights= Hand strength. Try not to forget hand balance as it can lead to many problems

[Alawadhi]

If you want stronger grip don't just focus on grippers. Do grippers (also invert closes), thick bar, v bar, block weights, thin-meduim pinch, underhand and reverse bending (some people say reverse bending is linked to v bar lift), extensors (sp?) plus train your whole body. Having stronger body means stronger grip.

how about 100's? That would probably be hard

[vikingsrule92]

Yeah half of a 100lb DB is a cert on this site so yes it is considered very hard to pinch, much more to lift by the face. I think somewhere around half of a 70lb DB is considered a pretty good starting point but you might want to refer to the experts on this instead of me.
