Bending Back Online

Jedd Johnson — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:24:08 +0000

Hello everyone. Jedd here.

I realized last night that the entire TheGripAuthority.com site was down.

This also meant that the order page for the Nail Bending eBook was down.

I just wanted to let you know that I fixed all that and it is back up now, so if you are interested in learning how to bend nails, you are all set.

Just click here ==> Nail Bending.

Speaking of bending nails, I just went to Chad Woodall’s first contest, the Woodall Grip Challenge last weekend. In the medley, I had to bend two IronMind Red Nails conscutively and I did so in about 20 seconds or so.

I’ve got a couple videos and a write-up coming soon, so check back later in the week to read it and watch the clips.

Alrighty. That’s all for now.

All the best in your training,

-Jedd-

Heavy Grip Training Video

Here is an old video of us hitting heavy support grip holds for time on the GRex.

Support grip is one component of grip strength. The others are crush, pinch, wrist postures and hand health.

Grip strength is the forgotten element of functional training and is essential since the hands are involved in all athletic and strength training endeavor (including building muscle or losing fat).

In fact the hands are the end point of the kinetic chain, so they must be developed if we hope to transfer the power created and accumulated from our bodies and express it through our hands.

Blob Plus More Weight

Here is the Blob plus weight for a calibrated total of 74.95 lbs. At the time of lifting this weight and writing this post, it puts me in 2nd place, right behind Wade Gillingham with 77lbs and Richard Sorin with 74.25 lbs.

As you can see, this one didn’t come easy. Several times the string kept sliding off the blob, ending up in my hand instead of directly on top of the blob. I missed it almost 10 times (some of them I deleted). Finally, when I added duct tape to the top of the blob, it kept the strong in place so it wouldn’t shift around on me.

Keep checking back. I usually try to add a little more weight each weekend. Next weekend, will be with Rex and Paul at the Arnold Classic, so I am hoping to push the total a bit higher yet!

Anybody else going?

See you there…
