Winning events such as the AAA Midland Counties championship in 1994,[2] (following in the footsteps of athletes such as Bill Tancred and Andy Drzewiecki) Snook got invited at platforms to perform at international level.
[3] Snook came into the radar of Randall J. Strossen in 2000, when he got certified on the Captains of Crush – No.3 gripper (which requires 127 kg (280 lb)/ RGC 149 of pressure to close) officiated by Jamie Reeves.
In March 2008, at the Oscar Heidenstam Foundation dinner event, Snook cleaned the 172 lb (78 kg) Thomas Inch dumbbell, becoming the second man in history after Mark Henry to achieve this feat.
In December 2008, at the Whey Power Challenge Snook became the first man in history to lift two Millennium dumbbells each weighing 230 lb (104 kg) simultaneously.
However it was observed that at that weight, the rotating nature of the handle was not happening anymore, hence V3 was introduced and all the previous records including Alexey Tyukalov's official 331.8 lb (150.5 kg) were nullified.
[10] and in October 2019, at King Kong grip challenge in Dubai, broke his own world record for the Millennium dumbbell lift for reps, with 8 repetitions.
