Dan Cenidoza Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Me and another 10 or so people (many of them gripboard members) witnessed Ron Mazza lift the Millennium DB this weekend. No warm-up (besides a couple of attempts), a slight tilt with the lower bell coming up about 6 inches! Incredible! I've got video of it, and with Ron's permission, I'll post it.

Darco Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 That's awsome, I think most people had their suspected he could do something with it when we saw his inch high pulls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminator Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Ron is competing this Friday in Utah, so this attempt was after his last hard training session leading up to the competition. I know his grip was nowhere near peak, but it was a seriously frightening display. Hats off to him, and good luck in Utah, Ron's a class act 100%. Props to Kim and John Wood for lugging that beast out on short notice for Ron to take a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Styles Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Congratulations! Any idea how much that particular Millenium Bell weights? I've seen weights for the bells ranging from 225lbs to 238lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Congratulations! Any idea how much that particular Millenium Bell weights? I've seen weights for the bells ranging from 225lbs to 238lbs. I've never seen that. They should all be 228 plus or minus 5lbs at the most as per our spec to the foundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Cenidoza Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 No words of praise or congratulations, Steve? I thought you would be proud. I believe John said it was 225. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Mazza Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 thanks for the kind words fellas... dan if you'd like, feel free to post the vid but i really feel that it was a shit attempt at best. i was actually more pleased with getting my final attempt an inch or so off the ground with no tilt. i felt bad that i didn't get to treat you guys to a better attempt, but knowing i wasn't really at my best tells me that it'll go sooner or later...

I saw meatloaf post the 238lbs on grippermania, in a thread about trying to press the millenium bell once his friend Kevin gets it. I think Kevin is handgripperman here? Kevin's supposed to weigh it when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
