INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORICAL INFO THERE. I DID HEAR THOUGH THAT YOU HAVE MANGED TO EXTRACT A JAMMY DODGER FROM DAVID'S HAND BEFORE HE HAD TIME TO CLOSE IT.

REGARDS, PETER.

I believe Edward Aston originated the feat when he had someone's pet monkey grip his hand and pull him towards the cage (must have been like trying to pull a chocolate eclair out of Dave Gentles grip).
Edward couldn't get away from the monkey and investigated this type of grip developing the feat from there.
Don't let Steve modesty fool you he is a force to be recorded with and even pretended I had hurt him when I gave him a crushing handshake last time we met ha

Hey Paul, thank you for the insight & info!

It's funny you bring that up Peter. Just a couple weeks ago the Oldtime Strongman Facebook page posted that they have a copy of The Joe Price Vulcan Sledge Hammer course and will be releasing parts of it soon, and to sign up for email updates on their website to get it. They haven't released any of the course yet, but I'm watching out for them in my emails.peter yates wrote:HI GUYS,
I BELIEVE JOE PRICE HAD A SLEDGEHAMMER TRAINING COURSE OF EXERCISES. HAS ANYONE EITHER SEEN THIS OR BETTER STILL OWN ONE?
REGARDS, PETER.
Awesome, congratulations Steve, I'm glad the Andy Bolton grip competition went well for you! Andy Bolton posted on his Facebook page yesterday that it was a great grip competition, but he didn't really go into any details so I sent you a private message yesterday evening asking how it went. You can just disregard that. As Peter asked, do you have any photos or video you could post? I'd love to see any you may have. Again, congratulations!Mobster wrote:Cheers David.
