One would think that recent legitimate world record holders and National/European Grip Champions would automatically get an invite to this big Arnold Grip Sausage Fest. It's going to be interesting to watch the vetting of the "grip resumes" unfold.

We just reviewed the results from the Gripmas contest. The numbers are incredible. Jedd's Official 2 hand pinch record of 256+  just set the benchmark for the next decade. So much for the beliefs of the "old guard" that there is no legitimacy to the so called "backyard contests".

We eagerly await following the 2 Hand Pinch record's ascent to 270.

Light day. Kept everything light/medium, drank coffee and listened to Overkill.

Good to see the continued indifferent reaction to the Kinney DVD on the GB. We are wondering how long it will be before the secret gripper Mr Kinney has never mentioned before is offered for sale at our favorite fictional grip mercantile. Will there be a third update to the Captains of Crush book? Since he forgot to mention this mystery gripper in the first two editions. ;)

Not much energy in the Joe Kinney thread on the GB. The world of grip is moving beyond "legends" and "Old-Timers".
