If any of you get a chance to meet Jedd Johnson, you will find he is a helluva guy too. I am lucky enough to train and go to Grip contests with Jedd. He's not too bad on the speedbag either.

You are a worthy of emulation and a leader to those of us that appreciate your qualities and dedication.

Originally posted by metaldad View PostSpeaking of which,(teaching and helping people that is) I FINALLY ordered your book from the Title catalog! I'm impatiently waitng for it to arrive. I was torn between getting the book or the dvd. I'll start with the book first. Great interview with Jedd! Man you've been at this a LONG time!
I gotta see or hear the Blue Man Group with you on the bag. Can I find it on YouTube?.
I'm hoping to get some great insight on technique and drills form your book. Now all I gotta do is something about that blasted stand my platform is attached to LOLGotta check out DieselCrew as well

Originally posted by Speedbag View PostThanks, Chris. I really appreciate that. Not to sound too corny or sappy, but I do hold one thing very close to my heart, and it is my foundation or core belief:
This is all about the BAG. What I post, my own website and when I hit in public at a seminar of demonstration - it is all about the bag - and the uniqueness of the activity. That is why I spent the last 17 years of my life developing and refining a training system to teach everyone else. If it was about ME, I would keep it all a secret and let everyone figure it out for themself. But when you do that, what you know - and what you can do... (your legacy) dies with you. I think that sucks.
I like helping people, and I really love teaching, but I never try to take myself too seriously. As long as I keep the ability to laugh at myself, I will never cease to be amused.Gotta check out DieselCrew as well

Originally posted by Speedbag View PostYes, I was surprised and honored that Jedd wanted to do an interview. You just never know what speed bag fans are lurking out there under the board. Some of his grip demonstrations and powerlifts are incredible. I imagine a few of the Dieselcrew crowd could pop a speed bag with their grip. Just squeeze it 'till it blows.
I thank you Jedd. Hopefully when others read the interview with Skunk and Myself it will inspire a few and bring more folks under the board.

I hope so too.
Hopefully this will increase the knowledge base.
As for the Ivanko - you need to apply several different techniques to see increases in the ivanko. Cheat closes, holds for time, reps at lower strength levels, manipulating the number of fingers on the implement are some that come to mind right off the bat.
