Rick Browne Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I would be willing to donate a "real" WW for NAGS events. Ladies and Gents; you heard it here first!....odin will purchase the WW for contests! What a grand gesture. Problem is resolved.

Lucasraymond Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The WW has a gritty texture. How can you produce the same on your pvc? Since the WW is not the standard, there is no need for a gritty texture. The point, is for Lucasraymond to make one for contests competed in by Gripboard members as the standard. Not all members can or will pay $60 for a WW. So, one can be made and distributed to contests. According to Lucas it is simple to make. Therefore, members that will go to contest where the GB wrist tool is a featured event, can make their own trainer. It is a very simple process. According to Lucas, his wrist strap functions identical to the WW. All this idea is is to go around the expense of the WW but have the tool as an event for contest. To not have debates about it, the Moderstors can pass or void the idea. We have our own MM grippers for our own certs. Why not have our own designed WW Moderators are not all NAGS decision-makers, are they? AFAIK these things are discussed behind by NAGS, not by GB mods collectively. I don't know why you're so interested anyway, do you compete? Why do you want something with shitty texture like typical PVC to be used, anyway? IMO, all this will do is reduce the ceiling for the top lifters and narrow the overall spread of scores from top-to-bottom. The regular WW holds chalk and has decent texture. I would be willing to donate a "real" WW for NAGS events. I think it would be a good event to lift the WW to a standard height. I personally would prefer a steel handled style versus PVC as I do not like the texture of the WW or normal PVC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladies and Gents; you heard it here first!....odin will purchase the WW for contests! What a grand gesture. Problem is resolved. Not sure what the big deal is you pay a butt load in other pieces of equipment. I see nothing wrong with supporting a member of the strength community. You pay just as much in grippers and other stuff whether you buy here or from one of the sponsors. I have a WW and would donate mine for contests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRabich Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm not a craftsman, so I buy my stuff. I wish I could of got it for $20, nevertheless I paid $60 and pleased with it. Got 65 pounds left and 60 right the first time. Also did some rows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Has there been a stand alone event in competition yet with the WW - and if so what exact Wrist Wrench product was used? I know it's been in Medleys and used in training. If this event will be competed internationally then is our "pipe" measurement of 1.9" going to match up with their 50mm (2.08") in results - for PVC or steel)? There are reasons NAGS went with the IM Axle and not the much cheaper "pipe" bars for competition purposes. I have posed the Question to the NAGS group - let's see where it goes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkhardmacht Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 My WW like tool from Mazurenko will arrive in a few days! Looking forward to train with it and how the handle surface is. Would like to read your opinion about it too That Mazurenko handle arrived today - it's a really good product. For sure it's relatively easy to make on Your own but I wanted something perfect. And I know that I can't make one that good! The handle is made of some sort of plastiv (PVC?) and the gripping area is taped and You can get a good grip on it. But that doesn't help - if You are not strong enough! That thing has just a brutal torque!!! If I ever organize a competition I would make this an event - would be really interesting to see what people can lift on it! If You need to feel humbled - You need this thing...

Joe Kinney used it on his mounted wrist roller. He said this type tape helped him roll up 250 and a lot more lbs than that, using the friction tape Edited February 3, 2016 by zcor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucasraymond Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) That is fine with me, I prefer the steel handle personally but I would be game with for either or...only $20 each Good deal. I suggest a proposal to the Gripboard Records keeper and request this tool be recognized as a standard for GB members that compete in the various contests through the year. Contest promoters can then decide to have it as an event at their venue. PVC might be the best choice as it is an easier material to make for trainers. If you are using self tapping screws the PVC and steel are not much different as far as making. Steel would give it the same material that most other grip implements are Edited February 3, 2016 by Lucasraymond 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRabich Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I know that's not the book way to train, but I got wrist wrench and the flask this week, I been unable to put them down this week, basically using them daily, went up to 70 lbs on ww (60 few days ago) love both of those tools. And 75 with my left, could be my best grip tool. Too bad I suck at pinching. Edited February 7, 2016 by MRabich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Browne Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Anyone know if the WW originally was intended to train the wrist for Arm Wrestling only? And not as an arm lifting tool. Jedd ( here on the GB) is the first one I saw use it in the manner of the RT and as a trainer for the Inch. (arm lifting). Is Jedd the originator of the WW for arm lifting is what I am asking. Other videos of the WW on Youtube were all Arm Wrestling movements. Edited February 7, 2016 by Rick Browne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
