How Long Grip Training: Started on 2/14/03
Current Grip Training Program: Warmup with an easy gripper for
reps, increasingly heavier singles, then 5-10 attempts at my goal gripper. Maybe
some choker work, sometimes do some braced closes. Also, playing with the Inch
bell on occasion.
Other Training Info: Currently training for the highland games season and
working on certifying on the #4.
Acknowledgements: Thanks to my parents for making me! Thanks Matt for
watching me close the gripper - funny how it takes something as world-wide as
the internet to let you know that another grip freak lives just across town! All
my West Coast grip buds like Dave, Mike, Austin, Dale, and everyone else. Thanks
to my training partner for continuing to push me too!
