ATK Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 What happened to him? He hasn't been active neither here nor on YouTube? Quote
Cannon Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I just emailed him last night to see how he is doing because I had not heard from him in a while. No reply yet If you guys want some entertaining videos, spend a couple hours watching the stuff on his Youtube page. Some of the best gripper vids out there in my opinion. He was a specialist on grippers for certain. http://www.youtube.com/user/TeemuI Quote
Cannon Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 When you're watching those vids, keep in mind he is 85kg and sub-8" hands. Quote
jad Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I talk with him on FB now and again; mostly we just quote Talladega Nights; The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. 1 Quote Proud member of the Feat Cheaters Club! Captain of Crush 2003-2011 Josh Dale Wentzville, MO
ATK Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 I really like his vids too! It just seems that after his unsuccessful CCS CoC #3.5 attemp he stopped training... Quote
Chez Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I was wondering the same thing the other day. I really enjoyed watching his progress. He was so close to the #4. Crazy considering his smaller size.

Geralt Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Cannon, did he reply already to your mail? Yesterday I did some youtube surfing and besides the vid I posted here of Jonathan Vogt, I think he has some excellent videos around. And the articles he wrote about CCS training and choker work are very good to read. Curious if he still trains?

Teemu I Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 It is nice to see that my best efforts were appreciated. Cannon, sorry you did not hear from me. I meant no offense by that. It was not my unsuccesful #3.5 certification that made me stop gripping for some time. In fact, Mr. Strossen was kind then and let me keep the gripper I failed with. It was and is a beast for a #3.5. Much harder to sweep down than both MMG3 or MMG4. My best CCS efforts on that gripper were really close, only 1 mm when I was at my best. I hope that within this year I will have some new grip videos worth watching. Will see how everything goes, so far I'm making quick gains as I recently started again. 1 Quote Teemu Ilvesniemi, Finland My Blog
