Tex Henderson, who was one of the first certified on the #3 Captain's of Crush Gripper under the new credit card spacing standard, has again solidified his spot in the history books by lifting two 172-lb Inch Dumbbells at the same time.
Keep coming back! When Grip history happens, it will be covered here at Napalm's Corner.
After the Powerfest Strongman Competition, the first place finisher, Andrew Durniat stepped up and completed three highly coveted grip strength feats, with one lift!
By lifting both the Inch Dumbbell and the Blob at the same time, Andrew joins an exclusive group of only three other individuals - Wade Gillingham, Jedd Johnson and Chad Woodall*.
I can't wait to see what else Durniat can do. I think we can all agree that right now Andrew probably has the grip strength to finish VERY WELL at the Global Grip Challenge, if he chooses and is able to qualify.
Time will tell.

* - These are currently the only Gripboard members who have provided video proof of the simultaneous Inch DB / Blob Deadlift.
Someone recently asked if there would be a kettlebell lifting contest at Powerfest.
There is a kettlebell seminar on saturday morning, but there will be no kettlebells in the actual strongman contest sunday.
If there's time, we may be able to do a kettlebell lift for fun afterwards though - who knows.
If you want to come by, just introduce yourself and maybe we can hook that up. I'm sure there will be plenty of kb's there.
Dave has BIG kettlebells. I can't wait to try them!
Like I said, currently, there is NOT one scheduled, but if there is time, we MAY be able to throw something together. At this point, anything is possible, so if you are interested, please come over and introduce yourself and we will see what we can put together. I'd be glad to bring it up to Dave, if there is interest in that.
