John Brookfield

[Squatson]

I haven't heard you guys mention anything about John Brookfield, who has some of the strongest hands in the world. I have his book Mastery of Hand Strength, it is full of valuable information and ideas on how to make easy and cheap grip training tools.

I just got strong enough to tear a deck of cards in half. It's funny because when I tell people I can do it, they think I'm going to rip right through them, it takes me about 2 minutes to get it done.

Here's a video of John tearing 50-some decks in less than a minute.

John's record breaking vid shows an exceptional feat of strength.

Card tearing is mostly in the wrists though. I coudln't even manage 30 last time I tried if I remember correctly!
