Joe Kinney, the first man certified on the No. 4 Captains of Crush® Gripper, and the man who introduced the grip world to a new level of grip-training intensity, said that he's back in training again.

Doing what he describes as "just playing with grippers" again, Joe said that he can still close a No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper with his right hand, but not with his left hand at the moment, and he would like to just train back up to the point where he can close a No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper with either hand again.

Bothered by a hip problem, Joe - whose woodsy gym and homemade concrete weights struck a chord with MILO guys - said that he can't squat with weight any more, but that doesn't stop him from banging out 300 reps while hanging onto a door knob for balance.
