The Diesel Crew’s Jedd Johnson won his U.S. National’s Grip contest this past weekend—holding off last year’s champion Andrew Durniat and a handful of other competitors.

The events were grippers, two-hands pinch lift, Axle deadlift, a medley, and wrist roller.  Explaining the medley, Johnson said, “The medley included carrying a 120-pound anvil with one hand by the horn, tearing a phone book, bending a bolt, ripping a deck of cards, and 20+ other challenges,” which sounds kind of like one of Mike Dayton’s old exhibitions on  . . . SUPER SQUATS.
