The 32-year-old Paul Knight, who stands 6’ tall and weighs 225 pounds, told IronMind®:
“I certified on the #3 in 2003 and recently decided to re-certify under the rule change,” referring to the change in 2004 that defined a legal starting position to be at least the width of a credit/ATM card.
“I saw that Richard Sorin had re-certified,” Knight said, “so I thought I [would] do the same as it is a more difficult close from credit card width versus the old 1” rule. In addition, I could get a little extra practice for when I attempt the #3.5.”
And if you saw how easily Paul Knight dispatched the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper, you know what’s next on his to-do list.
Congratulations to Paul Knight, whose name has been added (again!) to the official No. 3 Captains of Crush® certification list, and many thanks to Danny Peters for serving as Paul’s official referee.
