Stephen Ruby Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I know world of grip does these near the end of the year but I think its cool to see some of the big lifts that have been done about half way through the year(if anything to motivate for even bigger lifts to finish the year). These are not a complete list and I'm biased toward the biggest lifts overall of the year despite many great lifts at lighter bw's. Feel free to mention any I definitely forgot, these were just some off the top of my head that I remembered. Best grip feats of the year so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl8KwsuIsag 550x 2 thumbless deadlift by Andrew bw roughly 225 -nearly 2.5x bw- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDZSrq-X35s Ghp #9 Close second time ever, age 19 by Gabriele https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Rvq5lWEoCQ New Two hand pinch world record 122.9kg by David Horne https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnGy-M8gpAY 700lb partial DO deadlift with 2.6in bar by Chris James https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Owi8oeSxGWc Only man to lift everything at the might mitts medley this year by Mike Burke (http://store.sorinex.com/Articles.asp?ID=431) Lists the implements done, even though not a single lift I felt it needed to be added. But to be fair lets say the anvil lift in particular since that was the one noone else could lift. Few more months and contests to go though, hope to see more big lifts!

Mike Sharkey Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I think Chez's MM6 should be on there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Definitely thought Chris James locking out 700 DO on a 2.6" axle is IMO the best thickbar feat of all time, i still have a hard time figuring out how this is humanly possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king crusher Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) The 700 doh and a 100lb anvil that's crazy. Also the ghp9 is pretty bad ass Edited July 24, 2014 by king crusher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 How is Gabriele a year older than me doing the things he does. 700lbs dead at 2.6" and ghp9 are really hard to choose from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Chris is amazing. Is there a video of this ? I voted that as the best feat based on the assumption the hands were outside the thighs and a dragging /leaning back posture was not used. After seeing him in action before I feel it ( the lift)probably was attended to in his typical stellar ,clean lifting fashion. David Horne came close second in my mind in his long term commitment and high level of grip success over such an extended period is a high water mark of a true legend.

Tim71 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I had to vote for David Horne. All his feats amaze me but to keep cranking the records out for so long is just incredible. His 2 hp record is just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I did get to see the videos and as expected Chris James is truly amazing. I was good to see the Mike Burke onslaught of the Mighty Mitts gauntlet and that 100lb anvil that has stumped all except Chad Woodall and myself over the many years it has been on display. To see Mr. Mike make it and see that it was a truly difficult ,valid test of grip power is a great memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
