What the fuck is it with Ironmind not enforcing their own Gripper Certification Rules?
As some have astutely pointed out, the "legend" and his protege both certified by having
someone other than the gripster insert the credit card between the handles
.

From Ironmind's own site:

"...and the gripster must show the official that he has an acceptable starting position by using his non-gripping hand to slide the end of a credit/ATM card in between the ends of the handles. Once this is done, the official will give the signal to remove the card and begin the attempt..."

What the fuck? Others break their balls following the rules, and the favored few get a pass?
This certification is becoming about as legit as the High School "Who's Who" scam.

Think MashMonster People.
