3Crusher Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Try closing a #3 with a 200 pound bag of sand on your shoulder opposite your closing hand. Sounds interesting doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bseedot Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 When I certify, I'm gonna close the 3. Then I'm gonna stick my free hand in my back pants pocket and close the 3. Then I'm gonna sit on my free hand and close the 3. I'll stand on my free hand, maybe even do a one-handed push-up while closing the 3. Then I'll look at the witness and ask, "Any questions?" I could think of a couple, but they wouldn't have anything to do with grippers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSW Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 (edited) Why not go the hole hog and have it pick up gripper in one hand and squeeze,no set etc. I agree. That is how most untrained people would expect you to close it. Robert Edited February 14, 2003 by RSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Try closing a #3 with a 200 pound bag of sand on your shoulder opposite your closing hand. Sounds interesting doesn't it? I'm sure you or Pat has already done it Now try closing a #3 with a 200 pound bag of feathers on your shoulder opposite your closing hand. It's much more awkward.

terminator Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 How big is a 200lb bag of feathers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 How big is a 200lb bag of feathers? This would have to be the awkward side of the lift indeed (if you still manage to breathe). Though it's worse it: this feat is definitely one of a kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Quick rule of thumb: Take your #3 to a hardcore weightlifting gym, and ask everyone in that gym if they can close it. If they can't, then you can use that #3 to qualify for certification. BTW, 3Crusher... can you really do that? If so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
