patrick Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Was wanting to know if any of you top guys who are trying to close the #4 have used the world class hand gripper for negatives. Any comments on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gripper42004 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Well I dont have one yet but I want to get it so I can do negatives with it.& I'll be the first one to close it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Do you mean you'll be the first to close the World class? If so where are you at now the #3, the elite, almost got the four? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikael Siversson Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Well I dont have one yet but I want to get it so I can do negatives with it.& I'll be the first one to close it You are also going to close the #4 before the end of summer, which would be August 31 I would guess. Can I congratulate you already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Tommy is a long time COC. He has a tremendous grip. He has proof of his claims. Recently he submitted a video of him closing a 3 with ease many times. He is close on the #4, and I see no reason why he wil not shut it this year, and may well be the second man to do so. As usual you resort to sarcasm and unpleasantness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGuy Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 His name was on the list, your name was not so I could not vote for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikael Siversson Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I see. By coincidence, your description of Tommy is very similar to a description of him on another board, although your description of me is slightly kinder than that persons description of Nick Mckinless.

OldGuy Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I have not been unkind to anyone, and have not posted about Tommy anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikael Siversson Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Tommy has a very strong grip, yes, but I do feel that it is better to first achieve a grip feat and then tell the world. There is always the risk of these promises not being able to deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Tommy is just overly enthusiastic and full of religious zeal. He is a good guy and means no harm. He is no Mobstereone when it comes to saying what he intends to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 I've got an idea. SHUT THE #4. Get certified closing it. Then you can gloat all you want here for as long as you want. Until then, I don't want to hear a lot of talk about "who's gonna be the next to close the #4" la la la. BTW, I'm training for it too. Yes, me too!!

Big Steve Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 As a man thinkth in his heart therefore he is. I set goals for the end of the year and have achieved by the end of last month. I serve an Awesome God and He blesses me mightily. Tommy is a very animated person. His drive for grip things go off the chart of determination. He just came off back surgery and he is cloeser than ever at closing the #4. That is HEART! Tommy thank you for your drive. God is using you for a great work. Do not let the nay sayers slow you down. Silly statement I know that they will only help you slam that thing SHUT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a God, I think he or she would have more important things to do than helping people closing grippers. We do this for our own selfish satisfaction. Tommy wants to close a gripper, but more importantly, he wants to do it before anyone else does it. I am missing the divine part of this plan.

The Mac Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Oh dear. Snott speaks sense? Whilst I enjoy trying to work out what will happen down the line as much as anyone here, this thread is an example of why a public forum is not necesarily the best place to do it. The fact that religion is a factor just makes things a lot more complicated..... Best of luck to all involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGuy Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 All Tommy is saying is that his belief in God greatly strengthens his belief in himself. I believe he will be the next man to close a #4. It is not a case of God helping him to close grippers, but of faith given him strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 If you looked at Kinney six years ago, would you have said that he would be the first to close the #4?? Perhaps not. Factor in how many guys are in the running to be the next one to close the #4. It's been five years now since Kinney officially closed his. And I've been waiting for the "second closing" ever since. Divine intervention? Faith? Heart? Maybe strength?? Let me ask God. He'll tell me who the next one is.... right? Now if you'll excuse me... I haffta go to church and take my #4 with me. I'll ask God to make ME the next one.... :stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
