If you think Brad looks powerful, it's because he is: "My main hobby is strongman . . . I train with Team B.O.S.S. (Brothers of Stone & Steel) out of Columbus, Ohio."

With the No. 3 CoC mastered, Brad said, "I plan to train hard over the next year and get certified on the #3.5 next year at the Arnold Classic. My other goal is to become a pro heavyweight strongman competitor and be on World's Strongest Man some day."

Congratulations, Brad - your name has been added to the official list of men certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper. Way to go!
