mightyjoe Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) You better watch out hanging around Eric and Paul. You'll end up having to register your hands as deadly weapons. All kidding aside, you couldn't be around any better gripsters than these two. First class guys with World class grip.

Paul Knight Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Guys - Ryan is stupid strong - I've got video of all the stuff he did which I'll post later. When he walked up at first, he was as big as I expected from reading his training log - he first closed the #3 (grabbing the spring to set the gripper) then we had some weight loaded on the axle and he decided it was way to easy and asked to load 400 on the axle he proceeded to lift that to full lockout! (we have another Rex on our hands here) then we decided to play "What can Ryan do?" the rest of the night - so we busted out the blobs and first time he'd ever touched the Blob50, he just grabbed it and picked it up then pinched 5 10's, lifted the 45 by the hub, and pulled 250+ on the V-bar very easily bout this time we had to call it a night cause Eric's wife was goin to bed - I'm affraid to see what else this beast can do Ryan - glad your addicted and that you caould join us last night, impressive stuff buddy! I'll post the video's in this thread when I get outta work later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a blast...After watching you guys easily crush those grippers and your buddy damn near rip that horse shoe inhalf I wonder what i'm getting myself into here. and now that i'm drooling over that world record axle DO deadlift...i'm blaming YOU GUYS! Blobs are pretty sick too.. I can't wait to get one of my own. They say simple things amuse simple people.. and i find that 50lb chunk of metal pretty amusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewicked Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 trust me.. that was the first time i actually picked them up. Typically they blow up the moment my hand touches them.. i was shocked myself on the dimes. i thin it was a mental thing.. if i didnt' think it was a big deal i just did it..
