Or maybe it's just because I want to keep it a little secret before the european championship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know, because my record is 12 in my right, yet, I am can only get my #4 between 2/3" and 1/2". So, at least I can say the my #4 isn't an easy one.

Mikael Siversson Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 You can usually get a pretty good idea about the relative difficulty of a #4 by measuring the spread and the depth of the spring. Mine is 70mm wide (2 3/4'') and with a 1.5mm (1/16'') mount, i.e quite narrow but with a deeply set spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_Arildsson Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 2006-08-14 Squat: 1x3 @ 160 kg 1x1 @ 180 kg 1x1 @ 200 kg 1x1 @ 210 kg PR! 1x3 @ 190 kg As usual no belt and no extra equipment! Grippers: Closed my hard BBE today (both left and right hand). I never closed it easier before! I would rate it somewhere around 3.6. 2HP: Went ok! Did 101.x really easy but I lost some skin in my right hand. Tried 106.x and couldn't get it off ground today, probably because of my right hand. I also did some tossing with two 15kg plates!
