1stCoC Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 Today, With a great bunch of grip friends and a stone cold judge I re-certified with a brand new out of the package #3 with a credit card set. It was done on my first attempt and held shut and shown to the crowd for a "length" of time. I followed shortly by another full shut with another extended hold. My thanks go to Ironmind that gave me the opportunity to do something special and of worth, my son Bert and training partner House Wilson for never letting me down and believing in me, the grip board community that through relearning from them the techiques and programs leading to success , And finally God that let me hang around a bit longer to realize my dream. Respectfully, Richard Sorin Quote Richard Sorin, Sorinex Equipment SORINEX.com

climber511 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Way to go Richard - Geezer power! Quote When people used to ask him how it was he became so incredibly strong, it was always the same, "strengthen your mind, the rest will follow". The Mighty Atom Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul. Being prepared for any random task is not the same thing as preparing randomly for any task. Greg Everett
