Alawadhi Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Joe I noticed you don't have John Brookfield grippers. If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 For those interested I have been absent for some time now and being this sub-forum was set up at my request I feel very obligated to participate and share things as I have time. I was absent for numerous reasons of which I wont go into detail but one of the main reasons was lack of time and other priorities in my life. I have now freed up some of my time so that I may once again continue to try and help others in this area by sharing information, pics, articles etc. concerning Grip History and also to keep an ongoing inventory of the Grip Museum of which has grown significantly over the last year not just in grippers but in old school literature in the form of some very old books related to physical culture. Attached is a pic of one of the most awesome donations ever to the Grip Museum and it is a small bottle of The Mighty Atom's hair that came from Dennis Rogers as a donation for the Grip Museum. It came from Slim "Hammer Man" Farman and this piece is priceless to me and is an honor to display. My apologies to Bill and the mods for an abrupt absence without an explanation! I simply had to do what I had to do at the time but I also feel it wasn't right or fair in leaving like I did. I am not perfect and I have issues in life just like everyone else and after much thought and reflection I feel I should have took another route. I hope that my apology can be accepted and I will move forward. Thanks for your time in reading my post! Hope you ENJOY the pic!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRabich Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Joe, when you categorize your collection I assume gd80 gripper is one of your compression spring types, and whitely gripper is frame type? Where does The Wrist Developer and Bison 1 fall? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Joe, when you categorize your collection I assume gd80 gripper is one of your compression spring types, and whitely gripper is frame type? Where does The Wrist Developer and Bison 1 fall? MRabich, you are correct! The WD and the Bison are not classified as hand grippers or hand grips so I classify them as grip training tools.

mightyjoe Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 OFFICIAL WORLD RECORD! My collection has now been established as the "World's Largest Private Collection of Hand Grippers" http://www.recordholdersrepublic.co.uk/world-record-holders/1202/joe-musselwhite.aspx Last week I sent in the final paper work and witness statements and today I got an e-mail notification that I officially established the world record. This is a goal I have been working towards every week! Now it will continue to grow and grow and who knows where it will be in another year or two. Thanks to all the GB members that have donated grippers and other items and thanks again to Bill Piche and the mods who helped me in many ways with this collection! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dax Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hi Joe, I notice you have some Ecoliz rainbow twist grippers, did you review them (or rate them?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hi Joe, I notice you have some Ecoliz rainbow twist grippers, did you review them (or rate them?) I have 3 of them. I rated them (tricky) but I did not review them. I own the light orange (#79), purple (#86) and gold (#114) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Goguen Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 These Ecoliz grippers are interesting and seems like there is very little information about them. A review would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
