Sean Dockery Certifies on the Captains of Crush No. 3 Gripper

He’s a stone lifter who likes to read, write and build things—striving “to embody the Celtic warrior–poet ideal”—and now Sean Dockery is also officially certified on the Captains of Crush® No. 3 gripper.

Not just a grip specialist, Sean Dockery (35 years old, 6' 3", 240 lb.) lifts stones and competes in the Highland Games—say hello to the latest man certified on the Captains of Crush No. 3 gripper.  Photo courtesy of Sean Dockery.

Sean said he “rejects the Platonic mind/body distinction” and theory aside, our feeling is that if you’re ever stuck in an elevator, he is the man you want responding to the call: Sean works for Otis Elevator in Columbus, Ohio and if he couldn’t fix the problem, he could probably just rip the doors open to get you out.

Sean said he was “introduced to IronMind products and Captain of Crush grippers specifically in 1998 when a friend handed him a copy of MILO.  Getting his name in MILO as a certified Captain of Crush became one of Sean’s lifting goals on the spot.  Other training goals include: Load a 400 lb. natural stone into the bed of [my] pickup truck, clean a replica of the Thomas Inch Challenge Dumbbell, travel to Scotland, Ireland, and Wales to test [myself] against the ancient stones, and be a competitive Amateur A thrower in the Highland Games.”

Sounds like Sean’s got a lot on his plate and all the skills, focus and motivation to realize his goals.

IronMind would like to thank Richard Walsh (meeting at Dick’s Sporting Goods) for serving as Sean’s referee on his official attempt to close the CoC No. 3.

Congratulations, Sean: you did and your name has been added to the official CoC No. 3 certification list.
