"THE BEAST"

Who else has been following the incoherent 30+ page Kinney is a Beast Thread?
This is a wreck that TRAINS stop to watch. One of the "legends" gets called on an outlandish claim of squatting 440 pounds 60 times, and the guy doing the calling is dragged through the mud.


Frankly we expected more of this "legend" beyond ad hominem attacks through a third party, but being in grip for a LONG time, we find this as no surprise.

Sit back and enjoy, for we have found a true inter-net cess pool.

HOPA!

Woo Hoo!

Our favorite "retired" NFL coach , true to form, just managed to alienate all on the IM forum. Someone questioned JKinney's 440x60 squat set. Mayhem and incoherent name calling ensues. Looks like DVD sales are going to fall apart like a cheap Hong Kong suit. ;)

Weekend!

...Is it just us, ...or does our favorite..."retired" NFL coach...end up demanding an apology...in every thread he ...participates in on the IM forum?...

Saturday - 3/5

Updates have been few and far between. Busy with work and some other things. Still gripping and hammering away at chins and dips. Screwedup elbow and shoulder are much less screwed up.

It is still thrilling to see that the sport of grip has the same level of insanity as the day I joined our beloved grip forum in 2003. It has just moved over to the IronMind Forum. ;) It is wonderful to see our favorite "retired" football coach still advancing his incoherent missives.

On a serious note, it is amazing to see the strength progression of what used to be fantasy land 8 years ago to the new normal. The "grip nuts" are finally outnumbering the "grip fruits".

Wow

Who else is having a side splitting good time watching the Keg Tossing guy lose his mind on the Ironmind Forum? ;)

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.

Tuesday and Thursday

Sore both days. Sick most of week.

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.

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".

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. ;)

Calm Down People

We have noticed an inordinate amount of postings on our beloved grip forum inquiring about Joe Kinney's training methods and the "secret weapon" etc lately. We  wonder about these dubious posts and their origins.  The GB has it's share of brutally strong lads who have excelled on the platform where it counts. Seek out their advice and pay attention.

If you are contemplating the purchase of a DVD we recommend The Iron Grip Pinch Training DVD. This is the definitive grip DVD. A classic.

No workouts missed. Good to see the "yungins" discussing the "retired" NFL strength coach and exploring the meaning of "Word is Bond".

Started to key on credit card closes. With 7.375 inch hands it's a struggle to find "the spot". When opening to get the card in the thumb sided handle slips, and I run out of finger in the last 1/8-3/16. Need to set well back into thumb pad.

All Week

Did not miss any workouts, too fucking bust at work to concentrate.

It's interesting to read some of the advancements of levering and "Weavering" on our beloved grip forum. It's about time that stale tales of "strongman" lore are moving out of the parlor trick realm to the next level where the competitors will set the bar. Fuck the "Old-Timers". ;)
