Melvin you truly are a simple man. You have no idea about grip records. There are no official world records. Just lists of various feats done on different apparatus and under different conditions. I doubt David Horne could exceed my record on my machine. I don't claim to be able to exceed his feat on his apparatus.

The history of the pinch grip goes back about 50 or 60 years. There were no contests in those days. A few guys could support their bodyweight on rafters. Then one guy walked along one floor joist using the pinch grip. That is an amazing feat.

Some guys could place two 45 pound Olympic plates back to back and pinch them off the floor with one hand. That is a very good feat but favours guys with large hands.

A little guy by the name of Bruce White from Perth had an article written about him in Ironman in the 1970s. He claimed to be able to pinch grip 121 pounds with one hand on a 2 inch steel block. After that lift, which I don't think was witnessed or confirmed, various individuals have claimed various records. David Horne ran grip contests in England and evolved various rules and apparatus. He eventually lifted 143 pounds or 67.5 Kg with one hand and stood erect with that weight. Since that time he has made a two hand adjustable apparatus for pinching and he holds that record, too. Somewhere around 110 Kg. You can go to the Grip Board to read what he has done and various contest results.

The 80kg pinch I did in the 2003 Australia Grip Championships at my gym is the most weight anyone has lifted in an official national contest that I am aware of. There is no official world grip organization to ratify world records. I lifted 92.5 Kg on my machine in 2001 in a competition at my gym. That is the most anyone has ever pinched with one hand. Come to my gym and see how strong you are. The next best pinch on the machine is 67.5 Kg done by my son Zorba. Nick McKinless pinched something like 52.5 Kg in that contest and he won the overall every year it has been staged. Nick has a photo of himself pinching two 20Kg Olympic plates. He also had a few months to train on the machine. The point is lifts are very specific and people can be good on one apparatus and not on all of them.

I don't bs in real life or on the internet.

Let's hear what degrees Goatboy and Melvin Goodrum, CSN MFT have. Mine are MEd, Sydney University 1989, BA., UBC 1965. DipEd Alexander Mackie, NSW 1973.





 Ohhh but yes you do BS. Back in March on this same board, not only did you say that Derrick Anthony had a "great physique", but you also called him a "success". Now, if you are soooo f'n smart, and you have soooo many f'n degrees, then how in God's name can you make such retarded, self-contradicting, BS remarks?  You BIG BSer.................... ................Yeah, you invented this, and you have a degree in that, but you have proven time and time again, in your own posts, that you haven't one iota of common sense. You are old enough to know better.

Did someone just post? Lots of nobodies around here. You modern guys are truly gutless, pathetic creatures. No name, photo, nothing. Just virtual athletes.

This is an opinion board. If you say someone looks good then that is your opinion and others might not agree. Why would we keep posting if we agreed with everyone else?

Derek Anthony has an exceptional physique. Very few men reach his level of size and definition. I could care less about what others say about him as a person. That is none of my business.

What is the test of truth of opinions on Getbig? There is none. Some believe consensus proves who is right. Since when is excellence decided by the flotsam in this world?

Everyone is an expert on Getbig and philosophers, too.  Amazing.

The trouble with most of you dudes is that spell check doesn't help you if you don't know how to spell most words! It is flotsam. I made the same mistake as you did. There are some smart guys on Getbig. I acknowledge that.

An "exceptional physique" eh. What about all of the crap that you have posted about how Synthol, and over the top steroid use is bad for bodybuilding.........wel l Derrick is all Synthol, and all steroids, and all GH, and he's got the suspicious looking arms, and the gut to prove it. Bad form, bugger, you keep diggin' yourself into a deeper hole. What about you posting that Derrick is "successful"? Do you believe that a man is successful, only because he is a cheap, low rent, third rate, gay porn actor.........come on you degree holdin' Einstein, wow us again with your insolence, and speak on this, you hypocrite.

What is this place, Sunday School? There are so many religious nuts on line. The Taliban found out you don't mess with Yanks because they are crazier than the extreme Muslims. Ditto, Iraq!

Derek Anthony looks great in the photos I have seen. Whether he used drugs and oil I have no idea. That is irrelevant to what a person looks like. Steroids are a personal choice. Synthol is definitely cheating. My point is we should be testing for all those substances in bodybuilding contests if we want to be accepted by governments and the general public.

What someone does re prostitution or porn is not a crime in my book. Being gay is not a crime in most civilized countries, either.

I have never understood why most bodybuilders are so rigid in their beliefs and opinions. Most are just ordinary guys and I guess they have conservative, ordinary beliefs and opinions.

I'm talkin' about measuring someone as far as being a success, Mr. BS. You know what, that's it. You are now the worst. You passed up Arvilla, Adonis, Alex, and even your nemesis, CSN. You are the worst of the worst, Congratulations, and have a safe drive home.

I've been reading some of his post on how he invented the biceps curl, leg press, and his other so called machinery, and I honestly have to call bullshit especially on him spending 100,000 to build a bicep machine.  Not that it really matters, but why spend 100,000 to train one bodypart when some dumbells could pretty much do the same.


Fact is these machines he's claiming patents on have been around for decades.

Feel free to comment folks... ::)

Melvin Goodrum CSN MFT says it all. Go listen to his tape about Dan Duchaine. Dan has been dead for years but Goodrum sorts him out, anyway. Maybe the DD is someone else?

Howdy folks, you know who this is here....this is Vince Goodrum CSN MFT....


I always tell it like it is. Goodrum appears to be doing the same thing but is a bullshit artist extraordinaire. He fell going up the stairs at the Prepaid Legal Convention and broke two bones in his body. We are lucky to have someone like Goodrum here. His posts bring a laugh everytime. If what he says isn't funny someone will post a photo or two that are.

Dan Duchaine is also an internet troll.  I wasn't talking about the actual Dan Duchaine and I didn't like him neither.  I used to trash him on the old alt.bodybuilding newsgroups.

Vincentus Basilius, as he was known at the time, introduced the gym into ancient Rome. He would spend hours wrestling near-naked with sweaty Roman emperors, senators, and generals and holding them in homoerotic positions. True story, it says so on Wikipedia.

Well, there's plenty of bicep machines all around too.  Personally, I feel that the best way to build biceps is dumbbells, period.  A machine simply cannot hang with the free range of motion it offers

Vince to I actually have to lift the dumbells or can I just look at them and dream of 15 inch not so shredded guns

who cares if hes got a patent.   Why spend 100,000 on a biceps machine when you can simply use dumbbells

Different with you two is just that; he could spend 100000 on a bicep machine because he have the money, but you? You can't because you are nothing but a complete looser. More than that, you are so jealousy that it must keep you awake at nights. How does it feel, when you know for sure that there isn't anything which you can do to make you a real man like he is. When you are in his age, you will be a homeless bum or patient in some mental institute. What comes to your patent application which you have leave for inspection, I find it quite...hmm...personal.. .

Dear sir

I want you to consider to give a patent for my trademark "Stealth" pose, which I have used for my trademark pose. I have find out that I am only one in this universe who use this famous pose as his trademark pose, so please give to me a patent for it, because I use it for my trademark pose.
I have used many dark nights on front of the mirror to tweak this pose to be a perfect trademark for me, so I think I have earn the patent anyway, so please give me the patent for it...please.

Fuc*k of, you moron!!!

Are you an idiot or something? You look like you have been living last 40 years by eating your own shit and trying to find a way to look just like it. If you want to patent something, why don't you try to make some good with that pitiful excuse of the human body and use it as a speed bump. Test that and if it works, please return in that mental institute where you belong.
