John Brzenk about grippers │VIDEO

John R Brzenk (21 Feb. 2013 in Armwrestling John – Engin):

” I gave up playing with heavy grippers many years ago after it inflammed my lower wrist. I have NEVER closed a number 3 …very close at one time without the pregrip… but never persued it. Armwrestling doesn’t require that type of strength …but it is a good device for pumping the forarm up for good blood flow. Use the cheap lights ones  🙂  “

How Strong Is Devon Larratt’s Grip?

Eric Roussin:

” This is what I’ll try to find out on Saturday, when I host the Canadian portion of the GripTopz Championships, a 25-item grip medley, and a HUGE armwrestling practice. I don’t know if Devon will be officially taking part in the grip contests, but if he doesn’t I’ll at least try to get him to try out some of my equipment. Anyone willing to come up to Ottawa is invited to attend! “
