New IronMind Certification: No. 3.5 Captains of Crush® Gripper

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2008

In 1991, Richard Sorin became the first person who got certified for officially closing the fearsome Captains of Crush® No. 3 Gripper, and in 1998, Joe Kinney became the first person to get certified on the Captains of Crush® Gripper No. 4, and today IronMind® launched a certification program for the Captains of Crush® No. 3.5 Gripper.

If you've already been certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper and are eyeing the No. 4, but you're not quite there yet, here's a new challenge: close the No. 3.5 Captains of Crush® Gripper under official conditions and IronMind® will certify your prodigious feat of grip strength.
