Alawadhi Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I had the pleasure of meeting our friend Thomas Larsen from Norway during his brief visit to Dubai. Thomas is a kind gentleman and exceptionally strong. Naturally, we took the opportunity to train together at the Grip Temple, where I had the chance to learn from his extensive knowledge of grip training. Here is a video of our session, which was more focused on performing feats of strength than formal training. We also had some engaging discussions on various topics, including grip contests, gripsters, strength feats, prize money to attract competitors, strategies for getting stronger, work, culture, politics, food, and the unfortunate reality of how some people may cheat their feats. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience meeting Thomas and exploring Dubai together. I look forward to the opportunity to train with him again. P.S. It is worth mentioning that Thomas got his back injured in May, which has limited his ability to train at full intensity. Additionally, my equipment is generally a bit harder to use and lift compared to the usual chalked and seasoned ones out there. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
