Martin Gaisser Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Do you have someone in mind or are you just putting it up as a contest. The way Rich smashed that 3.5 I wouldn't be suprised if he gets it in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stCoC Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 In addition to the seperate 1000.00 offer on history makin', each of the three grip events will have a 100.00 per event prize.RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stCoC Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 From what I have seen and heard about Mr. Sum he is the best presently out there.I hope he does more great things."There is "sayin' and then there is doing"I think if he were present on the 26th he would have success and what he and the grip world gained would be far more than the $1000.00 offered.In my 45 years that I have been directly involved in grip it has sure come a long, long way.Richard Sorin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Tremendous attempt..I wish him the best at overcoming those last few mm. .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I don't know if anyone noticed that he posted a video of SIX (yes, six) reps of TNS a #3 in each hand at the same time!! This is incredible and quite possible my new favourite gripper-video. I mean, how many people can TNS a #3 in each hand at the same time? That alone narrows the list to very, VERY few men. Now who can do 6 reps of this feat, and hold the last rep for a few seconds like he did to show the handles closed? This guy is an animal and if he is dedicated and remains injury free will certify with the #4 (provided he's not unlucky enough to receive a monster #4) sometime in the future.

jsmiley Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Wow that's crazy impressive best attempt thus far. I think it's possible we will see this feat happen this year. I am at the same place as him but with a number 3, to me the 4 still feels like a brick, totally mind-blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Well, So far no grip superstars stepping forward for the 1000.00 on an official CC shut #4. I guess it may be done one day.... I sure would like to have seen it.RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 That was an INCREDIBLE attemt!!! I bet the close is right around the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
