Alexandre Paquette: A New “Teenage Captains of Crush”

by Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. | ©2012 IronMind

He not only certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® (CoC) Gripper today, but Quebec’s Alexandre Paquette is a mere 17 years old, meaning that IronMind® will donate US$500 to the educational trust fund established for Jesse Marunde’s children in honor of Alexandre Paquette’s remarkable performance.

A rangy 6’ 2” tall and 210 pounds, the 17-year-old told IronMind®, “I'm a baseball player and also a fanatic of training.  It's my passion and that's the way I express myself.  Bruce Lee is the one who inspires me the most.  He's the reason why I push my limits everyday!

“I started training my grip with the Captains of Crush® Grippers 2 years ago when I was 15 years old, with the No. 1 Captains of Crush®,” Alexandre Paquette said.  “I will certify on the No. 4 [Captains of Crush®] in the future!”

Recognizing his accomplishment, IronMind® has added Alexandre Paquette’s name to the official certification list for the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper.

Special thanks to Randy Beaudoin for serving as the referee on Alexandre Paquette’s official attempt.
