New 2 Hand Pinch World Record

I'm extremely happy to announce along with the video of my
good friend and training inspiration, Jedd Johnson's 2 Hand PinchWorld Record.
Huge congrats to an Elite Grip Athlete!

Jedd had previously broke the world record months prior and
after the final leg of the World's Strongest Hands Series he
broke it again. It's only fair to mention that David Horne and
Big Loz broke Jedd's previous record on the same day but in the end
Jedd beat them all with this NEW World Record.

There's not many people that have done as much for the sport of Grip
as Jedd Johnson has. This guy LIVES for Grip!!!

Gripper Collection Picture UPDATE!!!

This weekend I re-arranged my "Grip Corner" to include ALL my current grippers
and a signed picture Richard Sorin gave me in June of 1991 of him closing the
Iron Mind #3 gripper.

Also included is a new Captains of Crush #3 gripper signed by Richard Sorin
that is still in the package. I will probably never open this package and keep it
as is for my collection.

A BIG THANK YOU to Richard Sorin for the picture and the signed #3 gripper.

The two grippers above Richard's picture are a FBBC Super and FBBC Hard.
There was only a limited number of these two grippers made. Sure to be a future
collectors item.

On the table top is 3 of my FP Grippers for increasing finger pressure for arm wrestling or card tearing. Also on the table is a Telegraph Key made for strengthening your thumbs made by Warren Tetting. Notice the handles are reversed from the way Iron Mind makes them. You can close the handles all the way together this way (more ROM).

On the door hanging from #12, yellow jack chain is my custom made Shorty" Grippers from Beginner to Grand Elite made by Warren Tetting. Also hanging from the door is a set of 5/8" diameter handle grippers from Beginner to Grand Elite. Lastly hanging from the door is eleven RB Grippers from RB 70 to RB 365. The RB 400 is hanging on the red board, top left corner. The only grippers missing at this point is my set of 6 Heavy Grips which are out on loan.

NOTE: The "Shorty" Grippers are standard diameter handles that are 3-1/4" long instead of 3-3/4" making them harder because of less leverage. Neat little grippers that are TOUGH!

Hope you enjoy viewing my collection. Any comments are appreciated!

More updates as I purchase more grippers or add/change to my "Grip Corner".

Why Testimonials Are Unreliable Evidence

Here's a great article on the reasons why one should be cautious with
"testimonial evidence."

www.exercisebiology.com/index.php/site/articles/why_anecdotes_testimonials_are_unreliable/

Some of this sound familiar? Go to any strength forum, especially grip related and you'll find individuals who have been involved in grip work for several months and "Presto"! They are
all the sudden experts in the field.

Lastly, before dumping your hard earned money into someone's instructional e-book, verify if there's any evidence to support what they are selling besides testimonies from others. Look for some science behind their proposed training concept(s). Find out if their ideas go against known physiological facts, biology, physics, body mechanics, etc. Do some basic research before buying.

Nothing wrong with listening to others viewpoints but ask questions to yourself and the one selling the product.

Enjoy!

Stay informed and stay Strong!!!

Mash Monster Replica Display

This weekend I spent all day Saturday working on my new Mash Monster Display

to showcase my MM Replica Grippers. These are custom made grippers to specifications

as outlined by Bill Piche, owner of the Gripboard @ http://www.gripboard.com/ for certification as a Mash Monster Elite. There is 7 grippers of which you can certify with. Currently no one has closed the MM7. To give you an idea of the difficulty of these grippers, the MM1 is harder than a Captains of Crush #3 gripper.

I used with permission from Bill the Mash Monster logo for the center of the display.

This has got to be the most awesome gripper logo out there. If there's a better one, I would LOVE to see it. A BIG THANKS to Bill Piche for allowing me to use his MM logo.

If you're interested in purchasing one of these replica grippers, contact Warren Tetting

@ 651-222-1889.

If you think you have what it takes to close one of the Mash Monsters go over to the

http://www.gripboard.com/ and join the largest grip community forum in the world and get the details for your certification.

Stay tuned and stay STRONG!!!
