mobsterone Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sumo - sweet!! Some of the medley weights, while I am capable, are on the heavy side. I'm thinking that more than a few will not make it even half way down the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpster Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 You've got the phone book in there. I think #20 would be nicely filled with a deck of cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Noooo I hate them too LOL Although, like Chad, I can pick them up ha ha Edited February 15, 2009 by mobsterone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Well, competition is about pushing back barriers, but I think Steve is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Half? I'm trying to find even a couple I can do . I do have a couple questions Chad - I'm going to have to train as specific as I can so if I may? 1. 2HP - 215-225 range (full dead lift) – set at what thickness? It will make a difference for sure. 14. Phone Book (vertical tear) – approximate thickness? 18. 411# Dinnie Replica (full dead lift) – when I think Dinnie Replica, I think of two rings and a straddle lift like lifting the actual stones but at 411#, I think a one handed ring lift is more likely - on the big or little ring? – The rings are different heights - which height? I don't figure I'll lift many of them but what a great medley set up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It's more or less a decent contest in it's own right - lifts on the level of a 225lb pinch, 400lbs on the Axle etc will get you a pretty decent placing in any Grip Comp there's ever been.

mobsterone Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Joe they will need to be for the person who wins to place first. The medley will be brutal. PS: thanks for the email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Tall Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) EVENT RULES * Grippers - (calibrated) parallel set / Strong hand only / 4 max attempts * IM Rolling Thunder - (old seasoned handle) Strong hand only / 4 max attempts (must be pulled to a full dead lift with down signal and lower weight under control) (Rising bar will be used) * IM Apollon’s Axel – Double Overhand (conventional style or Sumo) 4 max attempts (must be pulled to a full dead lift with down signal and lower weight under control) (Rising bar will be used) * 2 Hand Pinch – Euro pinch / 4 max attempts (44,54,64 MM widths used only) (must be pulled to height of 16.5” crossbar and lowered under control, double over grip only and hands no more than 3” apart) (Rising bar will be used) * 2” Vertical Bar - (FBBC bar will be used) – Strong hand only / 4 max attempts (hand placed no more than 2” from top of bar) (must be pulled to a FULL DEAD LIFT and lowered under control) (the full dead will be easier to judge and MORE impressive of a lift for spectators). No skin will tear with this bar...so no worries. I have thought and thought about this...and those that are good on vbar will have no problems with the full dead. (Rising bar will be used) * Medley (1 run thru only) – will include 20 or more items (pinch, thick bar, bending, tearing) (There will be a 4 minute time limit) Most objects win! Plenty of time to train...no more changes to be made at this time...get to TRAINING! Edited February 15, 2009 by Too Tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andurniat Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I like the full deadlift on the vbar. It just makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I like the full deadlift on the vbar. It just makes sense. I think it looks TONS more impressive than just 2 inches...thanks Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Tall Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) But quite a bit more difficult to judge. Not really...I have already tried it. You pick it up full...and then get a down signal and put it down. The arm that you use to pull...that shoulder will be a little forward...but everything else is fairly upright.

The Mac Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well, I'm impressed that you managed to pull it to full lockout without 1) Banging the bar into your unmentionables and 2) Being able to press the fingers against the leg at the top.
