pdoire Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Well hard to believe a year has passed since becoming obsessed with this sport but it has. I have been involved for most of that year barring the 3 month absence a short while ago. So in nine months training time and now at age 50 some of the things I have done are: See my signature! Today after plenty of rest and knowing it was my anniversary, and having just received my new RB300N and RB330N I was stoked so I closed My RB300N My Elite!!!! Dream come true!! My SE in a clamp When I have mastered the RB300N and Elite I will, of course, provide video which will be in my gallery. Also unofficially I have: pinched 4-10's + 12.5 clamped DL'd a 35 lb Blob pinched and passed 25's quite a few times This pleases me since I never really focused on pinch..I'm kind of a gripper only guy with other stuff thrown in occasionally just for variety. Fully levered an 8 lb hammer to the front from the floor. That's it!! So if you are new or old(er) it is possible to still get stronger...especially with your hands!
