PeterSweden Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 When I first came across grippers on the internet I quickly fell inlove with them and the idea that I one day might close some heavy stuff! As a boy I often trained with my fathers gripper that he bought in a sporting store or something. Cheap stuff with plastic handles. Anyway, when I started searching for grippers and captains of crush etc on youtube and on the internet I found this dude that called himself gorillafist or gorillagrip or something along those lines. He had videos on youtube where he closed some heavy grippers but all of a sudden he dissapeared from youtube. Anyone here who know who Im talking about? He used lots of swearing in his vids aswell.

PeterSweden Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah silverback dude! I remember him saying that he disliked gripboard and that he was going to close coc4 but then he took his videos down and stopped making vids. Where is he today?

John McCarter Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Yeah silverback dude! I remember him saying that he disliked gripboard and that he was going to close coc4 but then he took his videos down and stopped making vids. Where is he today? He claimed to have hurt his hand from doing the type of workload from his grip program. He's just disappeared from the world of grip, he does have an account here, but he hasn't been on for a long time. There was suspect of him being a fake, the #3 could be real but a number of his other closes could be called into question. He did make some great videos. He may one day return, or could just become a memory to those who remember him.

Cannon Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 He made amends at the GripBoard and is welcome here. He disappeared on his own. Quote
