1st Annual Woodall Grip Challenge 2009


Too Tall

Recommended Posts

I want to train for it some more before making up my mind but for now - with only a few attempts done to full DL - I think the additional rotation and the thought of "pull high" makes for a greater danger compared to the 2" rule. It seems to expose the bicep more.

I think you just have to choose a lower weight that you can lift controlled without rotation.

To all competitors only!

I am thinking about including the 2" VBar in the Medley instead of a seperate event. I know this will save lots of time and give everyone a chance to zone in on the other 5 events.

Give me some feed back guys and let me know how you feel about this either way

Thanks,

Chad

Personally, I love the 2" Vbar and it's something I might actually be able to beat some people on, as opposed to most of the other events, so I'd rather have it, but I'm fine with whatever.

I think putting it in the medley, is a great idea. One less event lets you go into the medley fresher as well.

the list of competitors is absolutely awesome for this contest. :blink looking forward to seeing the results. Anyone there will have a great time. If I was around, I'd be running to this contest to witness, compete, and learn from all the great athletes!

Time wise it's an excellent idea - 20 people makes for a long contest under the best of circumstances with 5 events - six events adds another hour at least - I like the idea.

I agree. It will be very long especially with 4 attempts on lifts.

If everyone takes them all. I've done comps when I've done two of 4 if that was all that I had or I needed. At other times (usually on the last) if I had the energy and wanted to see what I could do I've used them all. The last Euro event for example I had won with my first two attempts both the RT and thumbless d/o hand axle deadlifts.
