I quite enjoyed talking to Larry last year at his first grip contest – the Dino Grip Challenge. Couldn’t think of a nicer guy I’d like to beat me in his inaugural contest either.
That was a great article on Larry! He clearly has a lot of knowledge and has incredible lifting accomplishments! I’d love to hear more about his machine.
We are VERY fortunate that Larry is letting us run this 2-part story series of his on the website. When I first read it, I felt it was “worthy” of print publication, but Larry wanted it ran on our website instead. His views represent the feelings of our organization in regards to equipment and drugs. Thanks Larry for this great story!!! Al
Wasn’t there a Larry Traub article in PLUSA years back?? Think it had a picture of Larry with his kids. Each person had a hand on a racked Olympic bar at shoulder level. Or have I been skating without a helmet again?
Another great by Larry. Self esteem is not a right, it is something you have to earn. And it cant be done through made up awards. Someone could go out and get themselves a 8′ trophy that says “Baddest Mo Dicker on the Planet”, but that doesnt necessarliy make it so (unless the trophy was given to me). Anyhow, I have thoroughly enjoyed both of his articles
