Just joined and I'm glad to be apart of this group! I'm from Southwest Louisiana and just discovered grip/armlifting last July and started my journey in August. I hadn't been in a gym in 23 years and joined Jan '25 and found grip stuff through a local Armlifting event that was being held. I was hooked and my gym bought me a Saxon and Axle bar and I've bought about 10 handles and even created a bowling pin handle. I'm no expert or pro but I'm loving every minute of it. Here's a video of mine from my local gym. Their support has been amazing!
