Darco Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I though he would get the rest and miss the phantom 4 ! Any word on how Tex did ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Congrats Chad. that's a hell of a job on such a tough course. I'm surprised he didn't get the 45s or the blob but I guess it's because of all the tough events in a row. But wait, he CLOSED THE PHANTOM? INSANE! Does that make him a certed #4 closer then or what?

paul valpreda Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Great job Chad! Sounds like these events are really tough, especially to perform all on the same day. How do your hands feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 "Original" Blob pinch and carry 10',8 trys, Did not leave floor in normal pinch position but on 8th try pinched by flat(lying on side) face and carried 12'.He did WHAT??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifesnotfair Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Wow, the guy who pinched 3-33's after a 10hour contest, failed at many of this feats... I honestly didn't know this feats were so darn hard. I mean, I thought he'd pull the two 45's with ease, seeing that quite a few people have done that, who don't come even close to Chad's pinching strength, my gosh.... I guess they're super-wide. And I was sure he'd get all the thickbar lifts, with that large hand of his! I do think it's unfair to have to do it all in the same day! I mean, did Mr. Sorin did all of this in any particular day of his life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) Good go at it Chad, that blob lift is insane! Those 45's were probably really thin, pinching wide is one thing(one thing Chad has down) but pinching thin stuff is really hard with big hands.

PowerHouse Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) Good go at it Chad, that blob lift is insane! Those 45's were probably really thin, pinching wide is one thing(one thing Chad has down) but pinching thin stuff is really hard with big hands. I think there wide but I believe Sorin said that the plates are extremely hard to keep from sliding apart and no matter how hard you squeeze em they just keep sliding apart. Anyways good job to Chad, that is a HUGE challenge and he stepped up to the plate and faced it. My hats off to em.

Too Tall Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 (edited) Well, I would have liked to have done better...that is why I kept trying, and trying, and trying and trying to get some of the feats done that I had trouble with. Those many attempts tired me out beyond belief for some of the other feats. All I can say is that I gave it my all and I will be back to try again. And, I guess Jad has ESP...because his predictions were almost spot on I want to say a BIG thank you to Mr. Sorin and Bert for this opportunity.

climber511 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Chad Well done my friend! Taking nothing away from Richard, this is pretty much a lifetime of grip feats put all together in one place and time by the guy who invented many of these challenges. Doing them all in one go would have been truly astounding - especially being unfamiliar with some of the items and unable to train for them. Great try, someday it will happen for you! climber511 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
