In addition to bending adjustable wrenches, I also perform with open end wrenches. These wrenches are unpredictable, sometimes they bend and sometimes they break very violently. When they do break, everyone nearby knows it as a loud SNAP is produced. Pictured is a complete set of top brand open end wrenches that I have bent, along with one I broke of the same brand in the 11/16" x 5/8" size.

A Visit to New Jersey
I recently visited with my friend Greg Matonick in New Jersey. Greg has been performing feats of strength for several decades and has been named "New Jersey's Superman" by ABC News. While there, one of the many feats performed was the tearing of a license plate. Check out the video above to see me in action.

Thoughts From The Grand Master
This is a link to a blog entry by Grand Master Strongman
Dennis Rogers in reference to some of my feats.

For those of you who don't know, Dennis is the #1 professional strongman in the world, multiple world record holder, has been named "pound for pound the worlds strongest man for the feats he performs", and he is my mentor.

Rolling A Frying Pan
In the mid 1990's, Grand Master Strongman Dennis Rogers introduced the feat of rolling up a frying pan. Now I mean REAL frying pans, not bargain store junk - and I mean ROLLING.
To accomplish this, it not only requires very strong wrists to initiate the roll, it also takes a powerful grip to hold on to the slick non-stick surface.
Notice how tightly the 10" name brand pan pictured is rolled. This is one of the many feats I have learned from the Grand Master himself.
