Bobby Rich smashes the No. 3.
Hail to the Dinosaurs!
It was about 11:00 on a sunny Saturday
morning.
A car pulled into the parking area by the
garage.
"He's here!" called Trudi.
I stopped typing and went downstairs.
I grabbed the keys to the garage -- a/k/a
the world famous Dinosaur Dungeon --
and we went out to meet him.
The World's Strongest English Professor
was sitting on the concrete steps leading
up to the back door of the garage.
He didn't look like a professor. He was
wearing blue jeans, boots and a dark shirt.
No tie, no tweed jacket with elbow patches,
no extra-thick glasses, no tobacco pouch
and no pipe.
He didn't even have a book in his hand.
He did, however, have a gym bag lying
next to him. I knew without asking
what was in it. Trust me, it wasn't
the complete works of Shakespeare.
Not by a long shot.
We exchanged greetings and small talk,
and then we went into the garage.
"I cleaned it up since the last time you
were here," I said.
He looked around and nodded.
"Looks good," he said.
The World's Strongest English Professor
reached into his gym bag, and pulled out
a collection of crush-style grippers.
One of them was the legendary Captain
of Crush gripper No. 3.
He chalked up and did some warm-up
sets.
Trudi got ready to shoot the photos and
the video.
As Producer and Director, I just stood back
and took it easy. I was training later in the
day, and I needed to save my energy.
They found the spot with the best lighting
and got started. He closed grippers. Trudi
took photos.
We were taking photos for Issue No. 4 of the
Dinosaur Files Quarterly.
The World's Strongest English Professor has
a killer article in this issue of the Quarterly.
It covers the training program he uses for
gripper work. It's a pretty good article --
and a pretty good program.
How good?
Try this: the World's Strongest English
Professor closed the No. 3 half a dozen
times and held it shut while Trudi took
photos for the Quarterly.
The last one was hard and tough. His entire
body shook with effort.
"That's enough," I said. "You won't have any
hands left."
He nodded, panting, gasping for breath.
"Take it easy for the rest of the day," said
Trudi. "Give your fingers a rest."
"I can't!" he panted. "I have 40 papers to
grade!"
I don't know if the papers got graded that
day -- but I do know this:
You can go right here to grab issue no. 4 of
the Dinosaur Files Quarterly -- and you can
learn how the World's Strongest English
Professor built the strength to close the
fabled No. 3 -- and enjoy all of the other
great articles from Dinos around the world:

world!
