Some of you may have heard about it. Some of you may have seen it.

When we were at the recent show in New York City we had a special treat.

My friend Pat Povilaitis showed up at our table with one of his friends. Now for those of you who don't know who Pat is, he is one of the world's strongest men. I am not exaggerating. When the world's strongest men gather for one of their competitions (the ones who lift boulders, cars, pull trains etc.), they always get together for some socializing. In these circles Pat is regarded as "The Man." Some of these behemoths weigh in at over 300 lbs. Pat told me he currently weighs 175 lbs.

Anyway click over to our website to see some pictures of the show they put on at our booth. Needless to say - it stopped the show.

WOW!!! i hope you gave him a really BIG knife. that guy had some huge and freakishly strong paws!! makes me wanna get some of those gripper things and go for #3! i used to rock climb so maybe its not outta reach.
 
Wow! That's some impressive stuff right there! What I'm finding most freakish is that the guy doesn't LOOK that beastly freakin' strong. Sure, he looks pretty tough and all, but not insanely strong like that.

Heh...I'm a Judo competitor myself. I'm half tempted to order that DVD, see if it does me some good.
 
Yeah I have heard of that guy before. He is insane. Good luck closing a #3, there are few men in the world that can. It is one of my lifetime goals.
 
Nice show. I wish Mariusz Pudzianowski from Poland could try to deal with your grippers, Mr Emerson. He's one of the strongest men on earth officially. Maybe if I'd tell him to try he would have given me the scored knife? ;)

I just bought the trainer gripper and the #1. These are awesome! I can close the #1, but it takes everything I got... Can't wait to start training with these babies.

It is now my goal to close a #3 and get the HD-7 for free. Something to shoot for!
