Coming off his recent certification on the Crushed-To-Dust!® Challenge, Ben Helms is not resting on his laurels: he has just been certified on the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper, the benchmark of a world class crushing grip.

Ben told IronMind that he trains grip every day, Monday through Friday, focussing on a different implement each day.

“If I end up becoming certified on the [Captains of Crush No.] 3, my next goal is to train for the Crushed-To-Dust Plus Challenge," which, to date, only one man in the world has achieved.

Ben is 6’ 2” tall, weighs 230 lb. and is 29 years old.
