Volko Krull Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 If he's a blacksmith I guess he also handles hammers a lot? I think you should reach him a Blue or a RedNail and see what he can do with these . #3, TNS and first attempt ever is way beyond worldclass make no mistake. He's one of those men that has the genetic potential to TNS the #4. Would be a shame if he didn't at least train occasionally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a shame if he didn't at least train occasionally Im going to get hold of a #4 and see what he can do with that,i tried to show him how to set the gripper right but his hands are just to big he has to have the handle pushed way back to thumb base so we will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedch Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 so he closed a #3 and never trained grip before ? must be a strong freak ......ive never heard of someone closing the #3 first go never trained grip before or even done weights hes a blacksmith by trade thats the only hand labour hes ever done,But hes 6 feet 7 and about 330 pounds with massive hands "Never trained grip before". Isn't being a blacksmith the ultimate hand strength training there is? I bet he would not be weak in anything relating to hand strength...with or without formal gripper training. Keep us posted if you can smuggle #4 in his hand. This is a great story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to jadens mum today and told her i needed to get hold of him,she asked why and i told her about what he had done,she laughted and said that sounds like our jaden i remember when he was a boy he was always breaking things with his hands,his dad was always buying new bike chains because when they used to fall off his bike he used to get annoyed and snap them in half i laughted and said how old was he then,she replied about thirteen then son.I thought to myself this kid must have always had some kind of hand strength hes only twenty two,been a blacksmith for six years and thats all he does works,eats,sleeps and looks after his old mum.Hes working in a place called rushden at the minute i will get a video as soon as possible because i really would like you all to see this for yourselfs i was gobsmacked get back to you soon guys all the best.

boland magyar Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 proof would be great mate as this is a world class feat 4. World Class feats in posts without proof will result in locking of the post until proper proof by video or pictures. A witness from the gripboard as well is needed. boland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
