Seriously impressive! Hey Eric! This is very much off the couch. I have been doing zero grip training but I do miss it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Helms Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 UPDATE: If you do not have certain items for the Gold Standard but have items thats are more challenging, for example, only having deep dish 45’s for pinch instead of regular 45’s, an inch bell thats 85kg+ and not 78kg, nails harder to bend than a red, or a blob harder than a fatman such as a legacy 125 and up, these will be acceptable for the Gold Standard challenge. For the Silver Standard, if you lift or bend anything more challenging than the items listed in the description for the Silver Standard but are below the Gold Standard in difficulty, this will also be acceptable for the Silver Standard. Some people can bend a red nail but not ccs a 3, or can pinch 45’s but not lift an inch. Performing a mix of Gold and Silver items will qualify you for the Silver Standard. I hope this gets more people involved in feats and the challenge. I understand that a lot of people may not have all of the items required, like a fatman and inch bell due to cost or how hard they are to find. Best of luck and let’s accomplish some feats! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Helms Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 (edited) BIG UPDATE: Ive decided to add another version of the standard challenge . This is to hopefully get the grip monsters attention and pure entertainment for the grip world. The list of achievement would be very small but I think there are some monsters out there that could do this!

Would love to see him give this a go. I wonder if he would take up any interest in bending just to complete this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he checks every box except for the red nail bend? And given his list of accomplishments, I think this too would be quite attainable for him with some practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Ooh nice idea. The first time I saw this I was thinking silver standard was a nice target for us over age 50 guys. The only thing I can do on the gold list is the IM COC 3 cert (CCS) and hub a 45. But I have done all the silver feats, so when I am in a place where I have access to the equipment, I will make a vid. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 On 8/22/2024 at 11:29 AM, Ben Helms said: The most challenging part for The Silver Standard would be the Next Gen 100 lift Probably; that was the last one I achieved of all the silver feats. Or maybe the blue nail would be harder for me, but I don't bend (I have done a couple of 60ds, a light horseshoe, and maybe once a blue nail, but I find bending painful and I don't plan to do it ever again, except I might do a blue just for this). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
