Wore a shirt that read "$20 of you beat my grip!" Testin grip on the strip! Yeah it's "old Vegas" but man do I LOVE Fremont street! Didn't get a many clips as I'd hoped, but the full video will be on YouTube tomorrow! Meet tons of great people, had some cool conversations while the wife waited on line with my 76 year old grandmother to go ZIP LINING😬..... We dint need the inheritance THAT bad.... good times had by all.

I believe this is the second time I've met @lucas.hatton and if there's anyone nicer in the building it's a very short list. Immediately feel like you've known him for years the way he interacts with fans. He's coming back from a bicep tear, wishing him the best! Rock solid score on the hands dyno!

My take on a classic thing training device, with 2 improvements....IMO. We made the range of motion adjustable, and account for the forward sweep of the lever arm! I wish I made this YEARS ago!

Choked grippers! Maybe a missing link in your crush grip game? Definitely a great tool to help in the journey of hand shake dominance!
Much more on depth video going up on YouTube September 27th! I get into alot more specifics because I dont have the same time crunch as on IG reels!
Shout out to @cannonpowerworks if you're interested in all things grippers! *Not sponsored, but they're good peeps!* They sell, rate, file and add chokers to a bunch of gripper brands if you don't have the time or tools!

Once again, stupid simple, crazy effective. A single 6 foot 1x6. Maybe 2 feet of wooden dowel. Very possibly under 10 bucks? Hard to beat!
Currently editing a video on a poor man's thumb training device like the Titan Telegraph Key device. Fun build, always wanted one, never could justify the spend.... stay tuned!

The hard work is done. Feeling great. Body weight is coming down. Still not sure if 242 will happen at this one, but I'm on track. Strength is where I want it. Body feels good. No excuses.
Huge thanks to everyone that's been following along, long time or recently. The DMs of encouragement and appreciation for the content have helped me through the tough training sessions.

Side note, picked up some stuff to modify grippers as they'd been a lot of interest in gripper training , so statuary tuned for that! I've been adding in grippers on the trail end of training days to get some foundation strength back and after the olympia they'll be coming off the back burner and getting some serious focus again! I'd like to officiant cert the CoC 3.5 before the Arnold's and get back on the war path for the #4.

Poor man's axle/ fat bar. As always, pretty simple to set up, and yet, super effective. These are another exercise I use to set up in winter when I couldn't do farmers walk, and the gym didn't have a thick bar. Dint let the simplicity fool you, grip doesn't have to be complex!

Did these last night, and my knuckles have been rice crispies all morning! I find that as simple as these are, they were incredibly effective at maintaining farmers walk grip in the winter months, and awesome for improving basic support grip for strongman, powerlifters and crossfitters. I use to Athens then with mixed grip and was asked to stop by that YMCA because the barbells were turning into buffalo bars🤣
These don't take up much time, warm up, and then 2 minutes rest between most sets, maybe a bit more when you're at the upper limit. I'm telling you, for foundational grip strength these are S tier!
