climber511 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 There are some ways around this but that was the main reasoning behind the 2" rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Tall Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 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.

John Eaton Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think putting it in the medley, is a great idea. One less event lets you go into the medley fresher as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the swiss Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 the list of competitors is absolutely awesome for this contest. 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!

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
