Guest Jeff Roark Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Just something funny that I noticed watching the clip of him closing the 3. The way he handled the gripper in his hand looked as if was handling a tool. I do electronics work and work closely with electricians and the way he handles the gripper in his hands looks so familiar to the way all the electricains I have seen use their tools (wire cutters). Its obvious to me that Dave built OTJ strength and technique. Just rambling.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I would guess that all the guys that man-handled the number #3 the first time they used it (along with usually being large men) have intense labor back grounds and have really 'worked'with their hands for years. Magnus Samuleson(along with being 6'7" and over 300lbs )was a farmer/arm wrestler/strongman....probably in that order? I think he handled a #3 first time? This is takeing nothing away from these gentlemen as they are all genuine......FREAKS but a labor back ground is definitely a plus. You might have another point though...I've noticed some of the guys that I've handed the #2 to just seem to naturally 'know what to do with it'.
