Grip Strength! Smith Strength

While in the metal trade im not a blacksmith, but when I help set up tents at a hobby if they have wingnuts keeping the poles in place im not to touch them... something about needing tools to untighten them after I fingertighten them.

Damn bro is a dwarf in human form

I love the ring when the smith hit the metal. With NPB, it probably sounds like Big Ben chiming. We now know he has good taste in pop.

Built Smith Tough

Blacksmith would make mean grapplers

Talk about a thirst trap...

Your wife is a lucky woman!! You are so hot right now

Mechanics, too.

I mean I have some above-average grip strength but this... this is madness

I remember the first time I had to have my grip strength clinically evaluated after a spinal injury... I had 200 lb in my left hand... and as it was said in The Princess Bride "I am not left-handed..."

What the fu....?

Can you make a video about what you do to train for grip strength? Also I can’t exactly get it hotter because I’m using a wood fire because I’m not old enough to use my dad’s forge.

And people complain about my grip strength and I haven't been blacksmithing for very long

I'm so glad I'm not a man.

I really need to know... As a dude who isn't a Smith... How can I get such a strong grip?

i need to see him do the grip strength test

0.o

...was your hand okay after that can?

My dad was a blacksmith/carpenter man was a short king but man he had the grip strength of a giant lol used to be in aww when he would crush apples with his hands when I was kid! Very impressive

Today at work (automotive mechanic) someone broke out the 200 pound squeeze grip strength tester…well, I’m the steering and suspension guy, and I go to the gym…so grip strength is there. Well, I was the only one in the shop who could get the 2 handles to touch…fast forward, told this young lady I was talking to about this…she was very intrigued so I grabbed an apple and crushed it…not quite as cleanly as you, but nevertheless…she was very interested in that…

Whaaat, No Waayyyy, that is mad

So what part of smithing gives you that grip strength?

And that grip strength does come in handy...

Stupid question, but would someone need to build up a heat tolerance to work with the metal despite heat gloves?

One of the all-time party tricks

I used to have that grip strength but after multiple hand surgeries because of a bone that started to make a point on the back of my dominant hand that was starting to shred my tendons my grip is only about 168lbs according to the meter my physical therapist had me use which she was blown away with because she said olimpic athelets had an average of 140lbs grip strength but my non dominant hand was 179lbs and she remarked if that was what I was calling week she didn't want to know what my strong hand was like before
P. S I have always wanted to be a Smith but I have medical issues that prevent me from working now

As a bottom I need to learn what did you need to get that type of grip? No one likes wanna squeeze. It’s too soft they say.

So you're saying that a rock climber has a good chance of being a blacksmith?

Thanks for the advice.

Two trips..... the vary idea 😤

Yes getting it hotter is always the way to go No matter what we are talking about 😜😜😜🤣🤣
That grip strength demo is hot unto itself

Ima 162cm 50kg girl with a gamer biceps and ive worked in a forge. Although ve been doinh sports for 14 years now, i do not at all look like what youd think a blacksmish looks like. So trust me when i tell you, that its about you biceps. Really. The master ive worked with is also just a bit taller than me and weights not much more. Bro has been doing this by hand for over 40 years. It really is about the technique

Hubs said be careful pleasing yourself 😂

When I went to get blood drawn the first time my mom offered to hold my hand because I’m terrified of needles and blood, and I ended up squeezing so hard that I broke three bones :/

Grip strength for sure. As mechanic I had to get used to being able to swing a 3-4lb hammer for up to an hour straight. After a while my hands get tired and I have to choke up on the handle and I lose force but I can keep swinging that hammer much longer. After so long I didn't have to choke up on the grip. Now I have to be careful when I shake people hand.

I want to be an apple now 😂

Do the dew again! 🥵

I'm surprise didn't have a malfunction after boss smash both the apple and can of soda 😂

I've also heard "Don't hit it harder, go up two hammer sizes."

lol it’s a older mt.dew can

Him crushing the can was one of the most intimidating and amusing things I've seen in a long time, and in equal measures.



Now, I'm pretty sure he said he only has sons, but imagine if you will
You're a teenager and the girl you're dating brings you to her house to introduce you to her parents. Then, this juggernaut answers the door, offers you a handshake to "play nice" and pulls you in close enough to give you the shovel talk without anyone else noticing. I don't know about anyone else, but I'd probably have to cancel the plans for that day so i can go home and change my pants

cries in carpel tunnel

The weight of the hammer is what does the smashing, all you have to do is hold on tight and aim

I met the most amazing blacksmith at a fair and me and my friend were watching and I said how it would be cool to be a blacksmith as a job but I don't think I would be able to do it. He told me that he has an apprentice from the classes that he teaches and she is a 13 year old 4" 10 girl. He also told us about how she makes better products then most of the guys he works with. It's not strength at all and it never had been and never will be. Cool story and an even cooler lesson.

My buns clenched. Lmao

Why did you waste the mountain dew and damn your grip strength

John: thank you daddy!

Ahh, the answer to the age old question;
"What's the difference between pink and purple?"

Grip strength

Oooo. Harder daddy!
