Brandon Hall had been casually closing a Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper at the arm wrestling booth at the LA FitExpo yesterday, so why not make it official?


You’re looking at an arm that’s winged the 56-lb. weight for height over 17 feet (standing start) and it delivers world class grip strength too: Brandon Hall has just been certified on the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper.  IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen photo


And that’s just what the multi-talented strength athlete did as he officially closed the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper on stage at the 2014 California Armwrestling Championships.

Currently concentrating on armwrestling, Hall is a 35-year old strength athlete who has also  competed in the strongman, raw powerlifting and the Highland Games.  The 6’ 4’ 312-lb. Hall said he’s a SUPER SQUATS graduate—he was doing things like a lot of curls and his father gave him the book, told him to read it and the next morning had a protein shake waiting for him.  The rest, as they say, is history.

Once again, IronMind would like to thank Bill Collins for serving as the official referee, and congratulations, Brandon—tell your dad, thanks for the recommendation, and look at how one good thing led to another: your name has just been added to the official certification list for the No. 3 Captains of Crush gripper.
