British Grip Champs 2012 @ David Horne’s Grip Factory Stafford

Last week I took part in the British Grip Champs

I took 2nd place against some good competition

Check out the Video Highlights below

As I was videoing most of the events myself, I had a limited amount of myself on tape.

My highlight was 28 sec on the CoC#3 Silver Bullet hold

Ironmind Silver Bullet

Another great event was the Braced Snap, I went off like a steam train and burnt out my left forearm (it was pumped up like a football)

Braced Snap

I also managed my first ever lock out on the 78kg Inch Dumbbell
