I was going through a box of old recorded vhs tapes and found some of the original strong man competition tv shows I had recorded. They were showing this bodybuilder and powerlifter named Franco Columbo training. He pinched gripped a two by four and did ten chins, it was amazing, I would not want this man grab me by my throat, I’m sure he could crush my neck easily if he can chin his 220 pound body with just a pinch grip.

owthathurts, what’s exactly the objective of this thread that you created?

If it’s simply to say “oh shit, I found this VHS of Franco Columbo, he rocks, and he shows how he trains, he does a deadlift and stuff”, then please keep it to yourself. This is a moderated forum. Read the stickies and the rules.

Now, if you have something of substance (.ie. how to grip train) or if you have a specific question, either elaborate on it with details or refer to the three threads already devoted on grip training.

Thanks.

ps… read the stickies, in particular regarding the rules of posting grip-training material.

That thread specifically says the following (pay attention to the rules at the bottom):

1. SEMI-MODERATED: Grip/Forearm Conditioning - An Ongoing Experiment of the Collective:
http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=49729

This thread is of a general nature where people can add their experiences and experiments regarding forearm, grip and wrist conditioning. Thick bars, rope/towel exercises, grippers, devices, common compound exercises with small modifications to stress gripping, etc. That kind of stuff goes here.

2. SEMI-MODERATED: Starting out with “real” hand grippers - what kind of poundage?
http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=51248

This thread is specifically for asking questions specifically about heavy grippers such as IronMind “Captain Of Crush” and IM-TUG grippers and the like. For anything else, like modified everlast grippers and the like, use the Grip/Forearm Conditioning thread instead. BTW, I’ll be enforcing this.

3. SEMI-MODERATED: Iranian Club Swinging Clip (Related Exercises Are Also Welcome)
http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=51432

This thread is for exercises involving club/gada swinging (or heavy objects with an uneven center of mass used for swinging.) These type of exercises are not solely for grip conditioning, but grip conditioning is a by-product of them. Please keep that in mind. If it is not about swinging heavy items to stress your core, shoulders and arms, then probably it does not belong here.

Note: Please try to post in the threads that already exist. If after doing your due research you still don’t find an answer to your question, then feel free to create a new one.

Rules Of Posting:

  2. Don’t be a retard. “LOL GUN-FU ROID BEEFCAKE WAAATAAAH” will get you fucking nowhere, I promise you. I deal with that shit enough already on youtube - I won’t have it here.
  3. Don’t be a bovine and make an effort to use paragraphs, specially if you are going to type a lot. This is a courtesy to the readers. That is, if your post looks like this, and if you keep insisting in posting like this, I’ll send your post to trollshido, even if you are making a valid point.
  4. Feel free to ask questions in the appropriate thread. If you don’t know where to put it, just ask and we’ll help you.
  5. Any question is usually a good question. Just make sure you put some thought behind it, though. There is a big difference between “How should I start working out for strenght?” and “how do workout?”
  6. Keep questions and coments on topic. If your question or topic is not on topic, please create a different thread, if one does not exist already that answers your questions.
  7. Comedy posts and one-liners are welcome, so long as they are on-topic and we don’t have a noise-to-signal ratio of 100 or something.
  8. If the comedy goes out of hand, I’ll move them all out.

I would love it if he grabbed you by your throat and crush your neck

4

Fixed and making much more sense.

5

just be glad he didn’t describe his “jack session” that occured during the viewing of said “OLD R3CORDED VHS TAEPS”

6

Remember when his leg snapped during the refrigerator carry at that early World’s Strongest man?

7

His leg snapped? that shit is weak. What was in the fridge, fucking bricks or something?

8

Have you ever heard of pre-existing injuries?

9

Yeah, I think it was bricks, I know it weighed 400 lbs. It was the 1977 WSM and his leg crumpled like a newspaper.
