Acknowledgements:
First I want to thank my family for their support
my training in the gym. Sometimes it takes a lot of time and they have gave me
on big understanding about that. When I started to interest grip training, I met
Kimmo Kokko, Finnish living legend what comes handstrength. Kimmo gave me big
ideas, how to training can be comprehensive. Kimmo have done” Rautakoura”
competitions more than 10 years. First time I touched the grippers was Kimmo´s
