Sybersnott Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Dave, Have you heard about the AOBS coming up in June? Do you think you might be able to attend? Many of the COC's here, including myself, will be there. I'll bring my #4 gripper... and if you can close it, you can have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Cool to be able to correspond with someone of such freaky grip strength.Again congratulations! I don't bring up my friends(Josh Bigger) training in my posts anymore-upon his request-and he is not a member of the grip board(because he doesn't have access to a computer)but he's 'sort of' like you in the grip dept. He closed Animal Cages(forum member) No.#3 gripper-no set-the first time he ever touched a gripper.He had been doing some grip training for about 6 months before he closed it though.He also picked up the 172 INCH replica(Roarks) the same day. I just thought that YOU- of the freaky grip strength -would enjoy knowing about another such freaky gripper. There are of course many great grippers on the forum but I just thought you might not have heard about Josh and that you would enjoy these pics. He's heard about YOU now and he's thrilled to hear about another 'newbie'. Here's some pics i think you'd enjoy...just hearing about YOU has been a 'good thing'. go to:www.cyberpump.com/gallery/album53 2 pages there are two pages of grip feats....no pics of the gripper close but 'Animal Cage' handed it to him and watched the close. As Josh has said IF he can close it(#3) 'theres gotta be others that will do it even easier'and YOU have proved his (and MY)theory Have YOU tryed any thick bar stuff?Pinch grip?Sledge Hammer leverages? If you would?what size hands do you have?length?Ring size?Probably sounds like weird questions but they've all been asked on the grip page..... I can't see the video so have NO idea. What sort of strength training are you involved with? Thanks for any info.that you decide to provide. www.cyberpump.com/gallery/album53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted March 18, 2003 Author Share Posted March 18, 2003 hello agian, love them gallery pics, all of them the only thick bar stuff i do is th rolling thunder, if that counts. by sledgehammers i think you meant holding it by handle, and touch hammer to nose, i can do it with sledges and have dun it with an olypic curl bar. i thought that was pretty cool. dunno how to measure hand size but ring size is somewher in the area of a 16. gonna be doin a strongman comp june 14, in the novice class, to git feel of it. trainin... acually, ive been workin on strongman stuff for bout two months, then got hooked on grippers. thought i was gonna givem a break till the other day. that try on the #4 really pumped me up.

tmmicklabs Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Dave, A size 16 ring finger is huge. Have you tried the coin test. Take a quarter and try to put it through your ring. I've only heard of one guy ever doing this...Phil Phister. Look luck on your strongman training. btw...have you tried to crush an un-opened can of soda with your hand yet ?
