Grippster Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Good job man. The #3 is actually really, really hard. I converted the "coc poundage" to "HG poundage" and found the HG400 is about the same as a #3. And my 400 is like a brick. Again, nice close.

LAINE SNOOK Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Well done, think how far you have come to get to this landmark - you will make more progress, and now that you have seen the results of your training you know that you can go on to higher gains in strength and even greater achievement. It's nice when it all works out - it's even better when you remember how you have toughed it out when it wasn't happening. Keep going, Laine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twig Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Awesome! 6 months? I hope to MM0 Cert after 6 YEARS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Sam Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thanks everybody for your support! I will fix a video and certify, but i think i must get to wher i can close it most of the time and im not there yet, but im sure it will come... I have come to understand that six months is a relativly short piriod of time to be able to close the #3, but to to be fare i could close the #2 right a way when i tried so its only fom #2 to #3 that took six months. I think it will be at least another six months befor i can CCS and certify for ironman, but im more stoked than ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_Arildsson Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Congrats dude! I will soon be done with my house, so after that we can check our calenders for a nice little grip-together thing. Btw: It's IronMind, not Ironman!

coombsfh Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) BRILLIANT! It is no mean feat to shut a 3, and it is a great feeling when you actually get it. I remember the first time I tried one; It filled me with determination, frustration and a feeling of futility. Now every time I shut one I just think...next...harder, as long as everyone keeps thinking like that we should keep on improving...

AnimalCage Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Six months! Wow, congrats. I'm hoping for my first #3 close in a few weeks. And it's only been seven years! Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
