About Ben Edwards
My name is Ben Edwards. I’m a 36-year-old grip strength enthusiast who has been training my grip for 11 years.
I certified on the Captains of Crush #3 handgripper in 2005. Since then I’ve closed over 100 different #3s.
I am an elite steel bender and have numerous steel bending certifications.
I am a member of Benders Battlefield. It is THE forum for steel benders of all levels and abilities. Join today and impress your friends!
I am a United States All-round Weightlifting Association (U.S.A.W.A.) member and multiple record holder. I encourage anyone seeking drug-free strength competitions to visit the USAWA site at www.usawa.com and view the over 150 recognized lifts that are contested in competitions throughout the U.S. The I.A.W.A. is the international partner and has a 20+ year history as well.
I am a big fan of Atomgripz grippers. Lloyd Kelley – the creator of Atomgripz – has designed one of the best built and aesthetically pleasing line of grippers on the market. If you’ve tried the rest it’s time to try the best!
