Both of these guys are pretty incredible. It makes you realize just HOW HARD getting Certified on the 3.5 is. Both Barch and Myerscough are genetic freaks. AND, both Barch and Myerscough trained VERY HARD to get this Certification. I say this not to discourage people, but to emphasize what a real accomplishment it is, and if you get it, you REALLY SHOULD BE PROUD. Sometimes we throw out goals like they are much easier than they are. A 3.5 Cert is big, big, big. Go for it Chez! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many good people in the grip community. It’s a tough cert and it’s been a long road for me battling through injuries but you have my word that I won’t quit until my name is on that list. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 This is good news. He’s actively gunning for the 4. Quote I do not underestimate how hard and long a road it will be to get to the No. 4 but I plan to whole heartedly plow ahead with achieving it.

Cannon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I mean, @riccardomagni or @ClayEdgin did he talk about where he is at with the 4? Based on how that 3.5 cert went, I’d be surprised if he were far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Savage Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Weird I've never heard of this guy, has he never done any grip contests? He should do the European championships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
