It's sad to see "grip authority's" realize they have become increasingly irrelevant as the community organizes and formulates it's own legitimate standards.

"Feel" starting to come back.
We are sitting here besides ourselves after reading the scathing diatribe on Ironmind's page concerning "the sets", Certification (old rules vs new rules) and a thinly disguised acerbic criticism of the KTA program.
If the MM set is so easy, why has there been the same guy at the top of the MM ladder for over 2 years? Surely some strength is needed?
The top gripper guys are the ones murdering themselves with choker and MM sets. Not the Fictional Hand people publicizing that they are closing their #2 for 30+ wide reps. Certify on the 4 then get back to us. ;)
N Holle's chapter in the Captain of Crush book, clearly show's a 1 INCH set. This book is constantly referred to as the be all and end all of gripper books by IM. The real problem, as we see it it, rests with IM picking SLOPPY judges for gripper certifications. Their lapse at the helm introduced the abusive two hand closes and foot stomped grippers. Simply tightening up the judging and enforcing a one hand close of one plus inches would have gone a long way to doing things right.
It is clear that the "Fictional" gurus, and broken down legends have had a hand in the increasingly childish snipes at our beloved grip forum.
Jealousy and petty squabbling will be the downfall of our little obsession.
Throw everyone off the list. Fuck the world. ;)

Looks like some are coming around to our point of view, that using a tampered, foot stomped gripper is not the way to build credibility. ;)
As stated many times in our writings here, the legitimately strong will percolate to the top in competition. Ignore the legends and the Oldtime strength crap.
Time to console our Blob50, it suffers in knowing that it will never elevate us to grip legend status. ;)

We are troubled over some recent videos, posted on our beloved grip forum, which claim strong
#4 gripper attempts with one of "Timmy's" foot stomped, deformed, tampered grippers.
People it is time to back off and restore credibility to our niche obsession. The bile is eating away at our teeth. This bullshit stops now!
Enjoy the sun.

Tuesday - 6/3
Got up at 5AM, lit a cigar and took the dog for 2 miles.
Busy all day at work, and we get home to be greeted by some slipshod
video from the "legend" proving the origninalbiglieblob is harder to lift
than the imitation blobs we the grip mortals have been cursed with. ;)
Six minutes of video and neither implement is put on a scale, or measured
with a cloth tape and calipers. This video evidence is about as sound as a Hong Kong suit. ;)
Look people, we are sure there are some defective blobs that are bit fatter or thinner than
most. But surely they are on the tail furthest from the bell. They are cast iron for Christ sakes.
But come on grown men acting like jealous school kids because their
"legend" status is growing cloudy, is getting dopey.
We are confident that the truly strong, who dominate the competitive platform
would positively destroy these imaginary blobs.
Time for bed.
;)
Much better videos, the incomparable Dr. Evil:

More BigLie Blob Nonsense
We could not feel anything but pity after the "Legend" posted his "PlaineverydayYork" Blob lift
in his continuing campaign in isolating thebigliefatmanyork blob as the true lift.
We ask - Was the other "plain vanilla" York blob even weighed? Or was the weight just arbitrarily written on it? Why no attempt/lift on the the thebigliefatmanyork blob? Could it be that "we" are afraid it might get some air and appear the go up with the same effort?
How about someone grab a cloth tape measure and run it around the dimensions of both implements, then show this new mystery blob on a scale?
No, what we get is some mocking video, meant to denigrate those on the official list and those of us who break their balls in their cellars. And take the fucking headphones off, you are not 12. ;)
