Teemu I Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 That was not his first time trying the #3. It was RT he had not seen before making his WR lift. I also know that he has given #3's a go earlier while visiting Finland. I do not know if he owns grippers himself, but I would bet that he does. That guy certainly has a great grip.

David_wigren Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 As teemu said it wasn't his first time. Here in this interview he said that he has closed the 3 and are pretty close to a 4. I don't think he trains grippers specifically. He just has freakish grip strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu I Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) I would also guess that he doesn't train grippers specifically, but from time to time. Edited July 9, 2008 by Teemu I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmatt Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 He is a big boy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Mathison Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) I met him at the Arnold this year after I certified. He told me he can close the 3 but not the 4 and he wants to certify. His hands are in the top 3 thickest hands ive ever shook. Tony scrivens and pfister being there too. Andrus has unbelievable grip related to strongman and his crushing strength is an after thought. he doesnt train crush. Hes just that strong.

He is not even gripping down on the gripper and his pinky is wrapped way around the handle! I have a hard time getting grippers set in my hand because of my size-disadvantaged hands!

jsmiley Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 That gripper looks like a toy in those mitts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizen Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 (edited) Heh another example of crazy farm hand strength. He also trains grip in a lot of different ways with various strongman events, and grew up on a farm using his hands from a very young age. Plus he is a freak in terms of strength, amazing display and congratulations to him.

I have a hard time getting grippers set in my hand because of my size-disadvantaged hands! he is gripping down on it, its weird though since his first finger is in the spring. I wonder if he closed it this way Edited July 10, 2008 by shizen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
