Electron Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 My one year anniversary since I discovered grip and joined the GB! I just wanted to state my appreciation for everybody who's helped me along the way, and commemorate the progress I've had within the past year. My special thanks goes to: Bill Piche, for doing so much to promote the sport Matt Cannon, for moderating the board and making a gripper wonderland website MightyJoe Musselwhite, for being a great grip friend Jarrod Levulett and David (TheWalrus) for schooling me in AW Matt (hellswindstaff) for being a fellow badass and motivating me All who are on the journey with me to close the #2.5, and eventually the #3 All who are on the journey with me to achieve a one arm pull up All who have given me words of encouragement/advice/put me in my place And here's some of the progress that I've made in the past year that I've worked towards my goals: -Max gripper close went from sub 90#s to mid 120#s -1APU progressed from needing 30#s of assist to less than 5#s. Just a heavy hair away. -Gripper collection went from 2 to 30. -According to some witnesses, my arm wrestling has greatly improved. First competition is just weeks from now. The Gripboard has been a great place to be, and I've met many great friends who share common objectives with me. Thank you again to the moderators who keep this place so civil and helpful. PS. Tomorrow is my birthday, so anybody who has a few hundred dollars lying around is urged to donate it to my gripper fund (just kidding). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
