The Grip Authority

The Grip Authority is a membership website for grip strength training run by Jedd Johnson, CSCS. Unlike most entries in the makers directory, it sells instruction rather than equipment: training programs, articles, audio and video, coaching calls, and material on old-time strongman feats such as nail bending.

Jedd Johnson

Johnson is a certified strength and conditioning specialist. He appears on IronMind's list of certified Captains of Crush No. 3 closers under 2003, and he signs his work as a "Captain of Crush and Red Nail Bender", referring to IronMind's Red Nail, a benchmark bending implement.

What the site offers

Membership gives access to workouts and training programs, articles, audio and video, and coaching calls. Topics cover the main grip types (crushing, pinching and support) and old-time strongman feats, including steel and nail bending; a nail-bending DVD is sold separately.
