barbe705 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Will we have the opportunity to touch/feel some of the medley stuff before the actual competition? I'm pretty new to this, so I have never even seen an inch dumbbell or a york deep dish plate. You also need to make sure you are qualified to compete. below is a link to the process: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=38954&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Squeezus is qualified, Gilbert Goodman. I didn't even realize he was a GB member until last night, when I saw he was on Instagram and I recognized him in his videos. I added him to the qualified athletes list the other day, but at the time, I didn't realize he was a member. So he's all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andurniat Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Will the Tips Tester weights be announced soon? I'd like to know so that I can get an idea of whether I'll be going for the half-point or full-point weight. My apologies. Thought I listed it. Tip Tester weights: Heavy - 245# Light - 205# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tips Tester will be a 2-handed deadlift. 245# one hand would be insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 My $0.02 on the wrist roller. Being one of the DNF's in 2013, my main problem is my hands got real sweaty at the end, and I might as well have had bearing grease on the roller at that point. I have done wrist roller at home before, but due to the dryness, and a bit of texture on mine, I had never experienced this before. I won't be able to make it this year, but if I was doing Andrew's wrist roller again, I probably would have chalked up more, and maybe had tried to chalk again towards the end of my go, if rules allowed it. Just one of the things that one has to figure out for oneself with these things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHenze646 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Would we be able to prep/chalk the medley items prior to our run? Like 30-40 seconds to prep. Nothing ridiculous. You have a very nice gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a very nice gym. Absolutely. I plan to have 2 minutes maximum between contestants; this will give enough time to record scores and prep items as needed.

andurniat Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 The exact medley item order is undetermined at this time. What I do know is the medley will be set up in a straight line; heavy items on your left, light items on your right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the first part of the motion; sledge from the ground to sledge vertical. We will be using a towel for the knuckles.
