"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. ;)
