bencrush Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 The last time I was at Ben's he loaned me his 146lb #3 to work with and close. I had been working with it for a while and had closed it within the width of a piece of paper a number of time's but just no cigar. I had closed it a couple of time in 3 different workout's but it was'nt what I call a good close no question close. But tonight I did a good warm up and got 3 good MMS closes it kind of sureal I have been work on this for 4 year's I don't think it has sunk in yet. I know to some this not a big deal but but I have thousand's of closes and hour's of training in those 3 closes I MUST BE NUT'S !!!!!!!! Great news Jason, congrats man!!! I knew it was only a short matter of time. I'm going on the road for 10 days so I won't be able to hear more about your work with it. Hope you keep smashing the hell out of it though! You've certainly earned the strength to close it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grippster Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Does it really take that long to close a #3? If you actually have been training for that long, I have a lot of respect for you. Hopefully you'll be on the cert list soon. Man don't take away from his accomplishment, the #3 is a lifetime goal for many. I don't think he has focused just on grippers either, he is an all around strong grip guy. Great job man. Also whats this talk of a 190lb #3?! That is ridiculous!! That must be the highest calibrated #3 so far. I'm not in any way taking away from the accomplishment. I'm just really impressed that he kept at it for all that time and was finally able to close a gripper that few can even budge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big nasty Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 I would agian like to thank you guy's I am overwhelmed by the response to this thread. I try to do the same for other as well as I can there has been some question of the 4 year's I will say in that time I suffered a wrist injury from armwrestling that toke me from closing a #2 back to zero it toke me 9 month's to get back to that level. So that has some bearing on the length of time I would also like to thank Ben gave me some good tip's over the last couple of year's and let me borrow his baby. I will just say one more thing it is very cool to be around other people that share my passion. I have told some people at work and they say o wow that's great like this weather you guy's know the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grippster Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Wow, even more respect then^. To go from what you describe as zero to a #3 close after a wrist injury is plain awsome. Great job on all that training man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
