EricMilfeld Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 (edited) ...in the category of best show of hand strength: Richard Sorin, for his 100 pound, 4 inch anvil pinch, John Brookfield, for his tearing in two of a tennis ball, Apollon, for his cleaning and pressing of his famous axle, Mark Henry, for his cleaning and pressing of the Inch Dumbbell, Steve Gardener, for his partial deadlift of the Millennium Dumbbell, and Herman Goerner, for his 727 pound one hand deadlift. Academy, your votes please... Edited January 27, 2003 by eric milfeld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harlan Jacobs Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 What about Heath and his 15 reps with the #3 ? Phil Phister also clean and press the inch,Tom Black for his bending, Oh yea, there is this guy named Kinney . There is no way I could pick between the guys you mentioned and the few extra I added. All are amazing in there own right. If there was a divison for gaining and dropping the most weight over a 10 year period, I could mention my name !

mobsterone Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Wow!! But it does make one think of who is the best in the catagories. You could include, in the lightweight section and as was mentioned elsewhere, Bruce White in the Inch dumbbell by virtue of bwt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted January 27, 2003 Author Share Posted January 27, 2003 Oops! I failed to complete my list. I've heard of that Kinney guy. And yes, 15 reps by Heath definitely belongs. I didn't mention Tom Black only because I'm ignorant concerning his bending accomplishments. But my vote goes to Goerner, hands down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Harlan Jacobs Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Sorry Chris. We have not heard from you for a while. You have got to include Chris James aka.

Guest Harlan Jacobs Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 We could go on and on with this ! What about Jim Wylie for his v-bar lifts ? And what about David Horne ? I think he has done 1 or 2 things ha-ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Chris, i (and certainly many others too) would be very glad to see a photo of the Ironmind Red Nail bent. Not that i don't trust you but i just happen to own the beast and would have some sadistic pleasure to see it bent . Amaury. PS: Are you working on the #4 ?
