Rick Walker Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 He closed my new filed double stamped #2-which is much harder than my old single stamped one-got pics. He then got my PDA 387 down to a few pennies if that-got pics. I will test tomorrow and see how much closer I am on the BBE. This @$%^#&* Inch has got my attention! He is gaining like a runaway train! The #3 in only 4 weeks of training? Maybe! Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Steve Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Well don't give all your attention to the Inch because your blobs are here and they are calling your name. Rick, Rick, Oh Ricky you can't lift me. I had to put them in the shed they are keeping me up talking about you all night. Playing aside I will bring them to you next Friday the 25th. Do you want me to cut the handle off? I just bought some new blades and I could use the workout. Oh yes Tommy close the #4 and I will mail yours to you. Derek great job! I hope to witness your closing of the #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incindium Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 So am I the youngest guy on the gripboard at 26 years of age ? I'm 25... I just got my COC's this week... i can barely close the #1 in my right and can't in my left. Pretty humbling but I know I just need to keep working at it.

I went from not being able to close the # 1 six weeks ago to only being 1/4 of an inch away from closing my # 2. I can also to a 10 second overcrush on my # 1 now thanks to Wanna and KTA. Best 20 bucks i've ever spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik_F Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I am 21 I agree, KTA is great, especially for a beginner. You can also use the principles in KTA and modify it to your needs and other strength training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalCage Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Gripboard members Youngguy and Younggun were both 15? when they were CoC certified. Youngguy closed my #3 for me last year at NASM in St Louis. They posted regularly last year, haven't heard from either of them in a while. My 38 years is out of the running.

Rick Walker Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 25 here as well-my step-son is 17. I truly hope he does surpass me-I would love to see him be the youngest to do things like close a #4 That would be AWESOME!! I just have to keep reminding myself that he is a long way from hitting my powerlifting numbers ! Besides-the best way to tell how one teaches is too look at the accomplishments of their students? Right? I am a darn good gripper coach Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGuy Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I learn from my son. His form on everything except thickbar is better than mine. Back always straight no swinging or cheating. He is like I was at one time in that if he fails to do a certain weight or reps, he will take a break and then do more weight or reps than he had just failed with!

Rick Walker Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 I learn from Derek-I learn that I have to keep training hard or he will pass me up! I am not going to let that happen till I am old and grey! Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERHEAD Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 My son is 2 and he loves to try and close my grippers and lift my blobs. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don of tha new grip Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I got a 4 yr. old boy and he's always gripping something sayin, "look at my forearms" (makes me PROUD ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarBender Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 My two year old son thinks that the grippers are his toys and does not like for anyone to touch them unless he can select the gripper, hand it to me, then take it back. Recently he handed each gripper to me in order from the trainer to the number 4. I still do not understand how he knows the order of the grippers.
