What is it with

these people who start off like balls of fire, get every grip toy imaginable, and as long as they are making gains in their training, they turn into "post whores" who offer advice for every aspect of lower arm training. Then when they hit a sticking point, all the toys are sold, and they go into Howard Hughes like seclusion.

I'm sure we have all seen it. They then come back from some mysterious injury or ailment to re-buy all their shit, and start the cycle over again.

I will add that most of those who fit this profile also "Flamenco Dance Season" their grippers and become incensed when their dubious claims are questioned in any way.

Sometimes Grip brings out the worst in people. ;)
