Bending Back Online
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
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-

Video: Thumbless Gripper Closes
Thursday, May 14th, 2009
I have been trying many new things my gripper training recently, trying to spur some gains. Here is a short run down of things I have been trying:
Gripper drop sets – I make an attempt at a goal gripper and then immediately do a hold for time with a much lighter one.
Continuous handle cutting – I cut a gripper handle for beyond-the-range closes and every time I close it I shave more off.
Thumbless gripper closes – I attempt to close the gripper without assistance from my thumb.
I have never heard anyone speak about this type of close before, so I thought I would make a video to illustrate the concept.
I utilize my thumbs a great deal with gripper closes. I think this technique is going to help me out because my fingers are forced to put in the extra work.
Incidentally, all three of these techniques make me feel it big time in my last two fingers. I also encourage everyone to try the drop sets – they give you a huge forearm pump!
All the best in your training,
-Jedd-

Double Blob Farmers Walk
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009During the Arnold Classic I gathered with a bunch of friends from around the nation at a little park in Columbus and we all had a few tries at some grip feats. One of the feats I was interested in trying was the Double Blob Farmer’s Walk. The record for this right now is a bit over 107 feet!
I tried five or six attempts. The one in this video clips is my third. After this one, my distance dropped off.
For those of you who may not know, the Blob is one head of a York 100-lb dumbbell. Here are some other facts about the Blob.
- * Richard Sorin named the Blob and was the first to attempt to lift it.
* Lifting the Blob is a test of pinch grip strength.
* It is a great feat of grip strength to lift one Blob to the full deadlift position.
* The Blob tapers outward from the top to the widest portion.
For more Blob lifting videos, check out my YouTube Channel.
All the best in your training,
-Jedd-
