Magnus Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 You are the current United States Hand Strength Gripper Co-Champion. You will successfully close this gripper. Best wishes for your feat! Thanks Mike So Frank did you smash it??? Not yet...waiting until I'm feeling a little stronger on grippers again. Later this week, I'm thinking.

Magnus Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Did it today. Closed it easily all 3 times, last 2 closes being paused-sets. But, I took the video outside, and it turned out way over-exposed (which is beyond me, because it's overcast today), so I'm not even gonna waste the time to send it. So, the strength is all there, but the vid went to pot. Oh well. On a side note, this thing felt a heck of a lot easier than I was expecting.

bencrush Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Dang Frank! Congrats on closing it and the strength needed to think that the MM3 is easy makes me jealous buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Holy cow, Frank. Great work. That really sucks on the video. Sign up again because I gotta see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoC#3 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Having the strength to shut the MM3 is an achievement! Just sign up again straight away Frank and make it official! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joefrey Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 If the hardest job to perform is just taking a good video, there is no issue! Just sign up again and show us this crushing power !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer on the video, but you've got the strength to kill it and that, in and of itself, is spectacular! Capturing a proper video is the most intimidating part of the process.

Magnus Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks alot, guys. The fact that I at least closed it has me pretty happy in spite of the video failure. Did it today. Closed it easily all 3 times, last 2 closes being paused-sets. But, I took the video outside, and it turned out way over-exposed (which is beyond me, because it's overcast today), so I'm not even gonna waste the time to send it.

How about this - I send it back to Eric, and while it's down there you close it, and then Eric can send it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Dang Frank, sounds like an easy gripper for you! How about uploading the vid to youtube? I'd love to see that stuff even if its not clear enough for cert purposes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Dang Frank, we should have tried using software to darken that up or mess with the contrast. Well, you know you have this one in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 That looked too easy for you. I think they sent you the MM2 and me the MM3. Seriously though, I think that video could have been saved. Great job and no problem for you next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Dang Frank, we should have tried using software to darken that up or mess with the contrast. Well, you know you have this one in the bag. Yeah, I messed with just about every contrast/tint/brightness/color setting possible...just couldn't make it work, though That looked too easy for you. I think they sent you the MM2 and me the MM3. Seriously though, I think that video could have been saved. Great job and no problem for you next time.

EricMilfeld Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Super show of strength, Frank! Not to be critical, but I think the set wouldn't have passed on that attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankyBoy Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks for uploading it Frank. Awesome strength. To bad with the video quality since the video started that perfectly clear. But I agree, thats not what one would call a CLEAR still of the gripper handles shown touching and prolly not what you want to have in your MM3 profile. So just sign up again and close it again.
