Do Not Fear - Still Here

Been buried with work and fairly nauseated with the endless cycle "whycanticlosemynumber3gripper" posts on our beloved forum.

We see our favorite legendary "retired" NFL strength coach has decided to return to forum posting by way of the newly hatched Ironmind Forums. It's charming to see all participants trip over their penises to placate our favorite forum crazy. The 3 dots ... and incoherent ramblings are in full effect. One must ask, how long until the permanent ban? ;)

Weekend etc.

Have not missed any days. Busy with work and reading.

We just recently caught up with the "Mighty Mitts" results and videos. Yes there probably was too much "thickbar", but the double Inch farmer walks for distance should go down as the biggest grip feats of the year. This "show" demonstrated to the grip world that the grip nuts and fruits have to come to terms with these contests, adapt and get stronger.

Piddled around on Tuesday, screwed off on Thursday.

We see the Kinney Squat Claims got some new life on both the Cyberpump Forums.
The squat claims of 440x60 Never Happened. For you newbies searching around for video, background etc, stop now. This updated "DVD video" is tantamount to Fonzi jumping the shark on Happy Days. JK's grip legend reputation has been relegated to "side show strongman" status.

Why is it when someone posts a blob or "blob like implement" lift video, the thread turns into a handsize debate? Stop your fucking whining people. ;)
