big nasty Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 The last time I was at Ben's he loaned me his 146lb #3 to work with and close. I had been working with it for a while and had closed it within the width of a piece of paper a number of time's but just no cigar. I had closed it a couple of time in 3 different workout's but it was'nt what I call a good close no question close. But tonight I did a good warm up and got 3 good MMS closes it kind of sureal I have been work on this for 4 year's I don't think it has sunk in yet. I know to some this not a big deal but but I have thousand's of closes and hour's of training in those 3 closes I MUST BE NUT'S !!!!!!!!

Grippster Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Does it really take that long to close a #3? If you actually have been training for that long, I have a lot of respect for you. Hopefully you'll be on the cert list soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man don't take away from his accomplishment, the #3 is a lifetime goal for many. I don't think he has focused just on grippers either, he is an all around strong grip guy. Great job man. Also whats this talk of a 190lb #3?! That is ridiculous!! That must be the highest calibrated #3 so far.

It wasn't too long ago that I first closed my 145 #3, you're gaining on me bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has a #4 that in the 250lb range, I believe. Lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
