Biffmaister Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hi. I thought I should share this poster here, in case we have some norwegian members that don't know about this competition in 6 weeks. http://ironmind.com/news/2016-Norwegian-Grip-Championships/ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Very cool! Do you know if the competition is restricted to only Norwegians? Or could people ftom other countries attend? Someone from Sweden for example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biffmaister Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yes, this is only for norwegians. If we have enough people interested in an international competition held in Norway, we could organize that later next year. You should join the WHEA world grip championships next year, David, as I belive you could do very well. Eirik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that I am too weak for this right now. I can close close a GHP 6 (133 RGC) in a 10 mm choker, but I can't even deep set a CoC #2. Thick bar training is probably my major weakness as my hands are incredibly small (only 7 inches long). I need to get me a hub and a rolling thunder soon so that I can train for competitions. I think I need to try out the rolling thunder first before making a fool of myself at a competition. Hope to train grip with you some day Eirik!

Nobody's making a fool of them selves in competitions. I will asure you that if you join, you can learn more that day than you do in months of training and reading. This competition is held in Stokke, Vestfold. Check out the event on facebook with the name "Norges Sterkeste Grep 2016" All the events are rising bar, so you can choose the weights yourself. This is a great event to start to compete, as many international competitions have high starting weights. I've been in competitions with 140kg axle and 80kg Rolling Thunder as starting weights, and that's not for everybody. Best regards Eirik. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Radford Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Great video's, question on the v-bar lift . . . how long was the attachment and what was the overall height? I wonder if there is much difference in having a solid tube (like fbbc) to having an attachment for the lifts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biffmaister Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Great video's, question on the v-bar lift . . . how long was the attachment and what was the overall height? I wonder if there is much difference in having a solid tube (like fbbc) to having an attachment for the lifts? We used a standard Ironmind loading pin, and the 25mm pipe is somewhere between 6-8". The minimum lifting height was 4", so everybody held close to the bottom of the pipe to make sure they got the required height. I've never tried the FBBC v-bars so I can't tell if it's any difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
