CoC#3 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 We are doing this on the 20th (tuesday) instead. This is because maintenance work is being done on the rail line tomorrow and i wouldn't be able to get to Steve's, do the cert, and back for work in time.

lukeamdman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Dang, sorry Sam! MM3 is a beast of a gripper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I didn't close it. That's all i'm gonna say! About 1/8'' or so off, maybe a hair more. No point wasting time judging my attempts. I was having a very strong gripper day - strongest i have ever been with either hand - so it's not like i was off or anything - at the end of the day i just need to TRAIN HARDER and GET STRONGER!! I will cert on this eventually. With reference to the eye of the tiger comments in this thread and this morning, even Rocky didn't beat Apollo Creed first time round.

mobsterone Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 He's quite big right now if, as per, still short. Well over 260 and close, if I recall to 270. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Congratulations Steve! Just a formality for you I'm sure. Sam, I like your attitude. You'll get it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 It'll annoy him now. He'll be more determined than before to get this done. We both trained legs before hand to get the old juices moving as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoC#3 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I am around 5'8'' and weigh about 268-270. Arms are 19'' chest is about 54''. So yeah 'big' but still a short arse. Thanks to everyone for the words of encouragament - i'm going to try to cert on this one again when i think i am strong enough. Back to the drawing board for now then good old fashioned blood sweat and tears will get it done. Steve is right, failing to cert yesterday won't demotivate me, it'll just make me train harder. I'll mail the gripper back in the morning. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
