Bill Piche Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Nice job Tou Now Wanna can sleep at night (maybe) HAH! Yeah, his cert was long time coming and his strength level at cert certainly shows that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie B. Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 It's done : I'M CERTIFIEDI did it sunday february 2nd in front fo Gerry Rochon, a sports encyclopedia. Another guy got certified with me. His name is Patrick Lemieux and he is a strongman. He close the gripper without wrapping his fingers around the handles. He puts one handle in his thumb pad at grab the other handle with his fingers straight. He then close the gripper with fingers straight, like a pinch grip. Unbelievable. He tried my #4 and came to 1/8 while holding the spring. He is VERY strong. I tried Patrick's #3, a 1994 model with wider handles, and closed it. It is the same strength as mine. I also broke his #1 which is a lot easier than mine. The spring broke. I can't wait to see my name on the list. Congrats Tou !!! A lot of hard work does pay off. Chuckie B.

Tom of Iowa2 Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Congratulations Tou, I guess the Photo of you (and Patrick) will be in the next issue of MILO?? I think?You have described a friend of yours- that is very strong and lifts the front end of cars and such....and that he almost almost closed a no.4 a while back....Is this(Patrick) your friend that ...you have described in the past?? Or is this another Canadian monster? .A guy at the gym subscribes to Milo.I look forward to seeing the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Tou, I knew you could do it!! You never gave up and always had confidence in yourself, believing you could do it! That's the most important thing... determination. If you don't have that, you'll never do it. You're determination shows, and my hat is off to you, sir!

Tou Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 Patrick is not the guy I talked about. Patrick has a very strong grip btu his lifts don't match his size. He squats 600, bench 425 and deadlift 655 in full gear. Sure it's big but he looked like he could squat 800 and deadlift over 800. My friend who deadlifts cars didn't train at all. He is just very strong, he always has been. With some technique tips, some chalk and a week of practice, he would smash the #3. I'll try to get him into it.

Tou Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 My next grip goal is the 45 lbs plate curl. Perseverance is going to be the key on this one as it could take many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
