macaz Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 AW would be a good 4th event. I know I'd be to bagged to be arm wrestling effectively after the comp. Dont you have some snow to shovel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) AW would be a good 4th event. I know I'd be to bagged to be arm wrestling effectively after the comp. Dont you have some snow to shovel? It mostly all melted yesterday Fresh though I'm feeling fairly torquey for pulling.

acorn Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 We could do saxon bar cleans. someone will prolly knock out some teeth though with the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaz Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If the AW guys bring a table then by the third or fourth event everyone will be armwrestling. Just my observation from last comp. May as well make it an event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaz Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Dose anyone like to bend? How about that. Maybe reverse or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 ... someone will prolly knock out some teeth though with the bar. That somebody would probably be me. I have the coordination of a tree sloth. I think that the problem with the IPP, is that the coin lift cannot compete with an AW table. I agree with Aaron, that the untrained will probably get hurt. Maybe wrist developer if you want to go the bending route? Certainly less expensive than calibrated stock. The problem with WD, is I don't know if it's a NAGS sanctioned event, but then again, it doesn't have to be. I'd be up for WD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah I vote no AW as an event. Would be glad to try it post comp though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If there's bending we'd have to set it up so you'd do your own wrapping. The ones I did during the medley last year blew my forearms and hands up about halfway through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think most people going would be familiar with bending, so it's not a bad idea. I don't know what stock Aaron already has. The AW guys could probably get the hang of it after a bit of a tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 If it was kept simple to just nails and bolts would be good too as it'd let the guys not so familiar with it be able to get the appropriate stuff to train with anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaiah Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I was actually going to suggest bending. I would totally love to bend for an event. As Martin said the problem for competition would be finding calibrated stock, as far as DO OR DU go. The Wrist developer would be legit, and measurable. Bolts or nails would be cool but unless they're rated it'd be kinda dodgey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The problems with the WD is everyone doesn't have one to train with and people that are inexperienced with them have had them flip around and some guys were getting bad pain in their biceps. I'm thinking about Brent with the second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Jason - you bring up some good points that I wasn't aware of. Well, I guess Aaron will let us know what he decides, when he decides it. Isaiah - are you considering going to the BB 2013 National Steel Bending Comp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorn Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Guys, I don't think I wanna do bending or WD in this comp. Bending is somewhat technical and if we did Reverse bending I would be concerned someone untrained would tweak something in their forearm or pull their bicep trying to do a max effort bend (for them) without the proper conditioning. Same concerns with the WD. I know when I first started trying to Reverse bend I did just that inflamed my bicep tendon trying to do max effort bend before I was ready. A couple years back during the 2010 WSH comps I ran at the crossfit place we ran the WD event in the first contest of the series. So many of the crossfitters tweaked something on that event that almost no one came back for the next contest in the series. That and most of them could barely move the WD with the lightest (white) spring on the easiest setting due to technique and weakness issues. So I'm leary about using those in a comp where we are likely to have complete novices. - Aaron 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 If I made a new vbar for the comp with replaceable top, would any of you guys be interested in one too? Would be cheaper for me to do it if I got more steel at once. - Aaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm interested - what tops are you thinking of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm interested - what tops are you thinking of? To start with I was thinking 1.5" and 50mm. But really since the tops are swappable they could be any size or shape you want. I could do additional tops in the future as well. I can send you a 3D model graphic from when I drew it up awhile back. Base that the plates will fit on will likely be 1 15/16" to make it easy for certified plates to fit on or regular Oly ones for that matter. Would be same grabbing height as FBBC vbar. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
