Rex Hubbard Certifies on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper

by Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. | ©2010 IronMind

He’s a law student and a personal trainer and now he’s got one more big credential to add to his resume: Rex Hubbard has just been certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® (CoC) gripper, making it official that he’s got world-class grip strength.

Rex Hubbard told IronMind that he’s interested in strongman and powerlifting, as well as grip strength. Chances are that when Rex is practicing law, his convincing handshake and formidable physical presence will be significant assets. IronMind® | Photo courtesy of Rex Hubbard.

25 years old, Rex stands 6’ 3”, weighs 295 lbs and he said that his short-term goals include deadlifting 800 lbs and squatting 750 lbs “unequipped” this year - lifts in that range along with his proven grip strength must put law student Rex Hubbard at the head of his class, and just about any other, when it comes to sheer horsepower.

One of the nice things about grip training is that it doesn’t have to consume your entire life — proving the point, Rex Hubbard told IronMind: “My gripper workouts usually last five to ten minutes.”

Congratulations, Rex:  Your name has been added to the official certification list for the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper.

IronMind would also like to thank John Hicks, himself certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush Gripper, for serving as the referee on Rex’s official attempt.
