11-17-08, Monday. It's been about 4.5 months since I've closed Eaton's Elite. Thought I closed it once before this video but it's hard to tell because it binds up pretty hard that last 1/8" or so. Closed John Eaton's 177lb Elite again this afternoon. Pretty pleased with that since my grippers...

11-10-08, Monday. This Thor Elite was binding up bad. Calibrated it right after this close and it was 170 on the dot. It's usually 164. Oiled it after this close.

This is Fatboy's Thor Elite that he's graciously loaned me for a while. It's pretty smooth and only calibrates at 164lbs. Done in late October, 2008.

11-8-08. Did some 1" vbar after a bit of pinch training. Not bad considering I was only pulling around the 315 range on this (Climber511, Chris Rice) vbar when I did my 387lb pull in December of 2006 with the FBBC 1" vbar. I think I'd only be around the 350 range on the FBBC vbar right now...

Just a recent training video. Since grippers are the only thing I'm training I'd better focus on them a bit more. I've been writing so much lately and studying that I've been lucky to get 2 workouts in a week. But the gripper strength is slowly coming back.

I initially thought I hadn't reached the 40 degree mark with this bend. So I stopped the video. A few seconds after stopping the video, I realized that it was actually at 40 degrees. So I then filmed the degree measurement. Not going to be official but that doesn't matter since I probably...

8-11-08. 47 degrees in 10 seconds! Started my 7" training tonight and found a few Insanes. Decided that I'd bend one of them and see if I could light a fire under Chad's ass to kick the crap out of his Insane the next time he attempts it.

I just can't stop myself! It's a sickness, lol. Supposed to be resting but every time I check the board there's someone else destroying big steel. Bastards! I did the Huge with not much trouble. I feel a tremendous pressure in both wrists though. Definitely not my cup of training tea!...

I count it as a success, whether or not the final verdict says the final measurement is 2" on the dot, or a little over. I usually measure between the tips even when my bends are offcenter. But with this one I wanted to see just how close it was...close enough I should've taken my damn pads...
