Hey everybody. Jedd here.

Hopefully some of you got the chance to catch our live UStream Feed yesterday from my Garage Gym here in PA. The gym’s been finished since April, but we haven’t been able to schedule anything where all the guys could make it down until now.

Smitty, Eli, Brad and Brian all made it down. Also Joe Hashey and his brother Pat came down.

We started our squats about 9:30. Even early in the morning it was already hot in the garage. Eli went through like a half dozen shirts I think. We squatted outside the cage with spotters. It was nice having people there to spot me. It gave me more confidence considering the back tweaks I have been having. I actually loaded the bar up to 315 to feel the weight again. We did an intermediate stance, not narrow high bars, but not wide sumo stance with the bar lower either. It was in the middle and felt pretty good.

Hey everybody, it’s Jedd checking in.

Hey, before I get into this post, does anybody know where I can pick up a pair of boots like this?

That is an image of Frederick Winters from the 1904 Summer Olympics. Seems like a crazy get-up for the summer time, but to each his own.

Speaking of summer, I hope everybody’s summer is rolling smooth. We have had a cool and rainy one here in Pennsylvania, but that seems to be turning around now.

Tonight it was so hot in my new garage that sweat was dripping off my head onto everything I was trying to lift in the gym. I was trying to pinch 3-25′s plus weight, but didn’t quite get a full pull and my camera battery was dead so I have no video anyway. It was so hot, even with shorts and a tee shirt on, i still felt like I was wearing ol’ Frederick’s wardrobe shown above.

Grip strength training can be a lonely endeavor. Unlike team sports, usually a grip strength practitioner undertakes his obsession by himself in a dusty basement surrounded by storage boxes, or in a small portion of the garage that’s just big enough to house a garage gym. When he beats a personal record, the radio and perhaps a pet are the only things around to share in his excitement. When he hears terms like hub lifts, pinch grip, CoC #4, or sledgehammer leveraging, he understands perfectly. When he tries to explain these terms to his friends and family, they rarely understand (or want to for that matter).

This week is the conclusion to the two-part interview with Gripboard Administrator and the man behind the login name, Wannagrip, Bill Piche. This one starts out modest and ends up a bit controversial. You’ll have to listen to see what I mean…

How important is hand strength for throwing sports (shot, discus, javelin)?
Who inspires Bill Piche in the Grip World?
What is the KTA gripper program, and how can it help you close heavier grippers?
What accomplishment is Bill most proud of as far as the Gripboard is concerned?

Check it out now.

P.S. I just got back from the Juniata Strength Clinic and helped a couple of dudes learn how to tear cards. You can too, just check out the Card Tearing eBook. Click here ==> Card Tearing eBook

“Holy Cow! 188 pages. That is pretty awesome! I wasn’t really expecting such a thorough resource. Very nice job.”

That’s the response I got after sending the Nail Bending eBook to someone this week.

That’s right – The Nail Bending eBook is 188 pages of instruction. You can rest assured that if you buy a product from Diesel Crew, you are getting your money’s worth, plus some!

I’ve been where you are. You buy an ebook product for like $50 only to find out that you just paid a buck a page and you already knew most of the stuff in it.

That won’t happen with the Nail Bending eBook. In it, you will find out how to bend a variety of pieces of steel – nails, bolts, and stock; you will find out how to wrap the steel so you don’t puncture yourself; you will find out how to ramp-up into a bending program without getting hurt from cumulative trauma. You will know how to climb to the top of the steel bending ladder.

And all of this for just $39.97. A safe investment and you’ll be learning to do cool sh*t.

Check out the Nail Bending eBook.

All the best in your training,

-Jedd-
