mightyjoe Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Yesterday I traveled 100 miles to none other than Eric Milfeld's Garage where individuals are taught, trained, and molded into "Grip Champions" As I was walking up the drive way I seen Paul Knight doing a set of warm-up squats with 235 lbs. and as I was thinking to myself what a great way to super charge a grip workout the bar slipped off his back (due to profuse sweating)and went crashing to the floor. What a way to start a day! Now that Paul is warmed-up and his wrists tweeked from the bar rolling off the back of his fingertips we was ready for some grip training. As Paul and Jeff worked on various grip and bending feats me and Eric focused on practicing with the Vulcan for the W.O.G. World's Strongest Hands, 2010. After some warming up I managed to set 2 PR's with a level 14 close right handed. Eric was a hair away from a level 18 (I believe) BTW, Paul was within an 1/8" of closing the MM 7 Replica. There's no doubt in my mind that on a good day he could close it with confidence. He seemed off yesterday on grippers. Could very well be because of the accident with the squats tweeking his wrists. Good job Paul!!! As always, I left Eric's Garage a little bit wiser and stronger. Never a dull moment at Eric's Garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Nice report Joe! Congrats on the PRs too! Going up 2 levels on the Vulcan is a huge deal. Eric, hitting (or very close) Level 18 close is big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Yes, Eric's garage truly is a mysterious and awesome place. I refer the reader to one of my own memorable experiences there... http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=33129&st=0&p=460234&hl=autumn&fromsearch=1entry460234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Nice PR Joe!! Was that level 14 close MMS or CCS? MMS set with 20mm block like what will be used at the contest. I went past parallel and then opened to 20mm. Made a big difference. Thanks to Eric and Paul for their help on my gripper work and sets.
