The outclicks have been tremendous for the YORK HANDBALANCING COURSE!
I may have to hire a couple of imaginary people to help me out with the links!

More Popping Lunacy
I just saw that a GB member linked to a grip feats video he performed for his MIT class. Tremendous stuff. Some self loathing ass-wipe GB member pointed out that he MAY have used the "popping" technique to tear the 2,000 page phone book. Blah, Blah, Blah. It seems to me that the ones who bequested the "popping technique" with a negative cannotation, are the ones that have DVD-R's to sell or who are nut swingers of those that sell the said DVD-R's.
Watch Clay's video, work your fucking ass off and you will be tearing with the best of them. Just don't get the idea that greasy spoon waitresses will fellate you for doing it. ;)
Time to grab some dinner at the Bad Street Diner.

More Nonsense
Sums up the sad state of grip. An abomination. Look, stop wasting everyone's time and do something useful, like clean up your fuking back yard. ;)
Off-Camera deep set, not closed, and braced! Go Hercules!
I might as well give up my goals. This will never be equaled. ;)

Lower Arm Training Article
Rosstraining has a well rounded ARTICLE on lower arm training.
Be sure to check out the forum. Looks pretty solid.

Lowerback/Ab warmup
Ax Lever to Front (Arm hanging at side all sets front or back)
x20
12lbs sledge - 5 sets 5 reps peaked at +2.5lbs magnets
Ax to rear - 3x20 - finished +2.5lbs magnets.
Left wrist is still a bit raw on rear movement. Scaled back on both arms. Stick with high reps.
Left Hand - Trainerx20, Shiny #2 3x10 - let reps out until pinky started to slip. Lever work wore crush out good.
Blobbette Holds (44lb base) - 4 singles +1.25lbs
Right - Blobette Deadlifts - +1.25 8 singles.
Levering stuff wore out arms quick.

Someone Who Knows What Hard Work Is All About
The Senator defined the very essence of what is known as GRIP! His finesse with the implements will be hammered into the immortal volcanic rock that birthed Peloponneus. Leave your expensive three foot rope at the door. Just enter with your soul clean and ready to be molded my friends.
To simpler times.
More Analytics
The hits are coming in fast and furious folks! It looks like our links to the Sandow Museum are pretty popular when looking at the search strings that folks are using at Google and Yahoo to find our little kingdom here.
Here is the Sandow Museum Page again, to save yourself some time.
Also the York HAND Balancing link is getting a pile of "EXIT" click activity.
Remember these great works are in the public DOMAIN! Fire up your printers and put together some nice three ring binders of this classic material!

Foot Stomping Backtrack
It looks like one of our "#4 Chasers" is being questioned about his "seasoning" practices on the Gripboard. Our Australian friend claims that he seasoned his #4 from a 3inch spread to a 2.75inch spread, but when pressed for an explanation on the radical reduction, it is explained that the spread is back up to 3.25inches. Evidently it broke out of its makeshift choker and the force caused it to WIDEN beyond its original state! Yeahhhh, riiight.
What a web we weave. It is sad that the foot stomp method has infected a vast majority of grip. Damn PDA and their calibration fiasco.

Saturday 8/26 - Part 2
Hammer Lat Pulls - (The one where you face away from the weights) - 4x12
Other Hammer Lat Pulls 4x12
Smith Press, Hammer Press, Hammer Lateral - 3 circuits
Reverse Curls, Rope Curls, Rope Extension - 4 circuits
Went fairly heavy on the Hammer Lat. The first machine I dont use much. Getting into position is a little complicated. I'm starting to be convinced that the Cybex units are superior.

Tough to get started.
Trainerx20 Each Hand
Left - #1xspeed/OC, Shiny #2x1 speed/OverCrush

Deadlifts worked up to +6.875lbs
4 singles using thumb and last 3 fingers
Nylon strap feels like it is coated with Crisco. Need to be careful with these crush workouts, with all the other stuff, there is a fine line of overdoing it.
Wide pinch coming along. Not bad for under 7.5" hands.

Rope Suppliers
These guys seem to have a better deal on pre-built climbing ropes, eliminate the middle man and save a few bucks.
Wolverine Sports
Personally, I'd go with MCMASTER.COM. Type in "fiber rope" in the search box. 2 inch 4000lb test rope for $2.75 a foot. Yes they will sell you custom cut pieces by the foot. There is enough hardware on that site to rig up whatever you want.
Or just throw a thick towel over a rafter, and have a ball "blow-torching" yourself doing pullups.
Enjoy!

Right On Schedule!
Good to see a thread start up about the NEW Ironmind Rules and the #4! I know it is usually the #3, but close enough.;) Let's sit back and enjoy this latest grip epic unfold.
UPDATE: Now we have revived the #3 "Setting Poll", an "out of the package cert" tirade, and the beginnings of belittling Joe Kinney.
This type of discussion defiles what gripdom was meant to be.
APO PANTOZ KAKODAIMONOZ!
