bubba29 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Anyone remember the ongoing segment on the David Letterman Show called "Stupid Human Tricks"? Essentially he had people on who did off the wall crazy and often pretty incredible "tricks". I have been thinking about creating a thread on here for a while now called Stupid Grip Tricks. This is where people share their unconventional feats of grip strength. This is for things you wouldn't see in a competition but are difficult/impressive none the less. It will also be to inspire others to match or best what has been posted. I have many challenging feats I will post of myself that no doubt people will best but my intent is to start the ball rolling. I haven't filmed myself doing anything yet but the feat posted below is exactly something that this thread is all about. So if you have done or seen video of an unusual/unconventional display of grip strength, please share it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=oJelt6ibikU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 awesome thread idea Chuck.. I was actually inspired to work on these types of feats by watching Adam Glass deadhang with an Inch replica (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41iZ5GVvJ6o)... someday i will also replicate that feat - count on it!

Tom Scibelli Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I know there's a video somewhere of either Jedd of Adam Glass hanging by their feet, then lifting a blob! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 This was part of my vision for the Weekly Grip Challenges I ran on my site during 2011. Trying to get people to do different cool grip things in a creative way. I was disappointed that more people didn't take part in those. And yes, that was me hanging upside down with the Blob. Very fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Andrade Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Jedd maybe you should try again on TGA I think this group of cats would be all over those weekly chalenges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 here is an interesting one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_7_MeStTBsY Max is crazy strong. If he starts getting into grip, it will be something to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenze646 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I wanted to end the year on a high note but that wasn't happening. So... I decided to get stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Ruby Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I wanted to end the year on a high note but that wasn't happening. So... I decided to get stupid. Damn that was pretty impressive to do those flips with both hands on your first try. Takes some serious grip strength and hand eye coordination. I like feats like these.

JHenze646 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thanks, guys! I would love to see some of the big pinch guys flip a Blob or something ridiculous. Thanks for checking it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba29 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 wow....that was cool. that seems like it would be very difficult. was that 4 10s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenze646 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 was that 4 10s? No, it was three tens.(4 10s was close) I am not very strong but I can get stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Not sure if this qualifies: Go to the 2:10 mark for the "stupid" part-starting it there worked in the browser, but may not work embedded here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six Barrel Shotgun Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I was inspired by the hub and beer videos in one of the videos I saw on here Cool I started eating hot chili peppers a few days ago, as a new hobby.. It would be cool to eat a Habanero of some sort, or hotter, and then after a minute or two, do some grip feat Edited May 22, 2014 by Six Barrel Shotgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
