Jedd Johnson Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I was the euro pinch HARD. I was feeling great. Then on one attempt I got extremely psyched up. I thought for sure it was coming up. I could see it before it happened like an out-of-body experience. It felt so good. Then, the plates came up for an instant and dropped right back to the floor. I started yelling (won't tell you what I said) and then all of a sudden it was as if switches all through my body and head were getting randomly turned off and on. I couldn't stand up straight, I nearly fell right on my rear end and just caught myself on the Euro Pinch before biting it big time. I had a weird sensation in my tongue, like it was numb. Cray stuff, but it was an awesome workout. I PR'd on Dips, Rolling Thunder, Blobs - and all of this was after nearly blacking out and taking out my Amish heater.

PeterSweden Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Ahh, I hope you are allright! You are a great role model! I will soon (within a year maybe?) close the CoC3 with your advise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetAGrip87 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 So many things to fall on and hit your head in there. Glad you caught yourself with the old pinch grip... Grip strength saved your life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Very glad you caught yourself Jedd! I have had an actual blackout occur due to grip. Just once during grip, but I ended up slumped on the floor among my plates and a rack...but it was scary and I was very lucky. Never on anything else has that happened.

daniel reinard Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 That's crazy! I have a climbers crash pad I can lend you! Glad you still had some pinch in you and stopped your fall! That's the bigger 'brownout' I've seen from grip. The only time I came close was on a DU bend. For some reason a max DU effort feels like it wants to do that.

rico300zx Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Jedd, i like that anvil in the backround, what lbs. were you trying to pinch anyway? oh another thing that little pipe on the piece of wood could have really hurt if you fell on in the wrong way. get that stuff out of the way when your lifting alone bro.

Parris You are right, Parris, I need to make more room. Thanks for looking out. Jedd Y'all are some intense folks. Thanks. All I think about from the time I get up until the time I go to bed is Grip. How to get stronger, how to teach other people, how to promote the sport. I love it and love to train it. Jedd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJames Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thats intensity for you !! Well done Jedd but be careful bro. I cleaned and push pressed 160kg on a 2" barbell. After watching John Davis cleaning and jerking the Apollons axle for insppiration, i tried a double with it and the next i remember is lying on the floor the bar across my legs and my body twitching. I dusted myself down and tried again, same thing happened! I then had a row off my Dad , waited till he went to the toilet and managed to do it. Thats OCD for you!
