Heres You're Video Updates Lifesnotfair

[viper]

forgot to show the number but this is the 3.5, 1st time ive definately shut it, tough close on this thing - http://youtube.com/watch?v=8udHBF_NXAU

an heres some reps on #3 but they were pretty crappy, i couldn't manage 15 like last time, i barely managed 10 actually, an some were too small, the 3.5 took like 3 attempts so i was somewhat wasted >ill get a proper vid with twice as many reps to replace this one somewhen - http://youtube.com/watch?v=Y6d8I3JbMy4

An absolute masterclass in how NOT to make a gripper vid!

The "#3.5" clip was terrible and should've been titled 1 1/2 minutes of white panel door!

and the "#3" you can hardly make out the number anyway and then the rest of the clip jumps that bad it looks like it's been made out of two seperate videos with a sound track to give the impression of continuity!

I think You have a white door... Better cut the video next time to the essentials! And load it up in better quality - sometimes the number of the gripper can been seen without showing it - in the case of forgetting to show a close-up.

There may be more doubters of your claims now then before you posted this vids

Anyway, closing the 3.5 and doing 10 reps on a #3 are great grip feats. If you've done them, congrats!

Shame about the visibilty of the video. congrats on dominating the no.3, and shutting the 3.5 though !!!

[dimmers]

Like others have said, congrats on your gripper closes, they are very impressive!

But... If you go about things the wrong way, then expect a bit of stick from people. Especially directing a thread at one person in particular doesn't look good on your behalf in my opinion.

[viper]

thanks

haha maybe i shouldn't laugh but that 1st comment was funny

fair enough to the comments of video quality cuss yeh it sucks, but its not like thats what i wanted, the original videos are a good bit clearer for a start, youtube seems to have added beams of UFO lights an blured the number for some reason (not jumping for me though), but i did try to make them clear - used a plain white background, thinking anything else would stand out pretty good, an i had full lighting from the hallway and my room

doubters are great, they provide a never ending supply of motivation, so thats cool with me

Load it up in the gripboard!

Why?

[twig]

43 secs...Dude, are you wearing a belt to shut a gripper?

[Alawadhi]

Are you for real? Are you serious? That's not a gripper close. I can fake it better.

43 secs...Dude, are you wearing a belt to shut a gripper?

And straps!

Or post the link when you're satisfied with your youtube vid. Try a darker background if you want a better chance for the gripper to stand out in the light metering; maybe some curtains or indirect light too for a clear # presentation.

[viper]

haha laugh all you want dudes, ill be the one laughing when i cert on #4

spahn - thanks for the tips

i was belted for the squats i was doing with the grip stuff, ive got a back injury right now

[lifesnotfair]

I would just want to get this perfectly clear: I never doubted viper's claims, I just said that if he could do such worldclass feats like he mentioned in that other thread (15 reps on a #3, and he was tired from #3.5 attempts!), he should maybe post a video of that feat, which is way more "worldclass" than other feats he has posted on youtube, like 180kgx8 deadlift with straps and other stuff. I bet many people can do that, but not many can say they've repped the #3 15 times WHEN TIRED!

But, again, I never said I doubted, and I can't demand any videos since I can't even claim something higher than a #2 close with a deep set. I feel a little embarassed that this thread is directed to me.

The invite to come down here and let me video and take photos of attempts still stands. No belt though...

[Wes]

Hold on just let me get some rubber plates to pinch

That was exactly in my mind!

Anyway if you wanna cert on the #4 I say go for the #3 cert first or at least accept Steve offer for taking a pic of you. Of course without belts or straps. An excallent chance if you really want no one to say/think your fake.

Plus when you do all the above go for the super duper mega cosmic Galaxy gripper as you promised that you will close one day.

This post should be deleted, total garbage!

[viper]

lifesnotfair - yeh this wasn't about proving anything for me, was just cuss you wanted to see them, i didnt mean to embarass ya or owt > i wasn't able to get the 15 reps in this vid, only 10, but yeh the 15 last time was also after 3.5 stuff, didnt feel as worn though >my powerlifts are not so good compared no, but im making progress

mobster - i wanted to come train with ya later this year but i forgot how far away you are! feel free to b*tch slap me if i dont close a #4 at british irongrip next year though

Alawadhi - i donno what you're problem is but to be honest, i really dont care >good look with your super duper mega cosmic galaxy effort

[dimmers]

Viper, just get some better vids done matey and post a new thread! I'm sure you can do what you say, it's just a shame your vids weren't up to scratch, and because of that you're getting a lot of doubt off people. Surely you knew this would happen with the poor quality of your vids?

Can you get hold of a video camera off someone? Even my old nokia mobile phone takes better video than your web cam and that's only a 2 megapixel camera.

One other quick question, how come you haven't done the IM cert for the #3?

[superfeemiman]

Funny topic.

mobster - .................... feel free to b*tch slap me if i dont close a #4 at british irongrip next year though

I hope the video for this is uploaded and pinned.
