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.


Piddled around on Tuesday, screwed off on Thursday.

Hit it on Tuesday and Thursday. Too tired and pissed off to post.

Between Thursday and continuing this morning got hammered with snow. Wrestling with snow blower and shovel took its toll. Will treat as GPP. ;)

Hit dips and chins before grip. Dips - weight + chain. Fairly impressive.

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.

Thursday - 2/18

Cold and damp

Sore from dips yesterday. Tuesday's workout was about the same. Too frigging tired to post.
