honk Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) Alright, Sauerland Gripchallenge l will be held on the 23rd of September in Rixen, Germany. Events: 2 Hand Axle 2 Hand Euro Pinch 20mm Blockset Grippers (both hands) In that order, and to IGC/Nags rules. Calibrated and/or competition plates will be used and a well calibrated pair of scales to weigh in the competitors. Entrance fee is 10€ payable to me up to the 15th of September, or 15€ cash on the day. Cold beer and BBQ will be provided. :-) Special invitation to all the old school gripsters from way back when, you know who you are! I'm not gonna bother with 8 different weight classes for four competitors. There will be a overall winner, and a winner on Wilk's. Edited July 31, 2017 by honk Had to reschedule, changed the date. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honk Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 I've heard people complain that they won't drive hundreds of Kms for "just 4 or 5 disciplines" years ago. But I'd rather keep the comp and the social gathering separate. I still got some Blobs, Sledges, kilos of nails... a power rack, farmers handles... and there will be plenty of time to get stupid afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honk Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 I'm terribly sorry, but I had to reschedule: The comp will go down on the 23rd of September. I just booked the venue yesterday, this date is final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gripmeetings completely without competition were my favorites! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoBuhl Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm in! I'll take the following grippers to the comp: (rated by cannonpowerworks - RB400 rated by Axel Hoffmann) CoC3 145 MM2 166 Tetting Elite 170 GHP8 179 RB400 230 !! For Gabriel :-) I have a lot of other grippers but not calibrated. My best 20mm Gripper strength was at 179 for 3. Now my gripper strength is at 150 for 3 :-) Have to focus again i think! Horseshoe bending destroys gripper strength? @camz What Euro Pinch width will be used? I look forward to this grip challenge! Finally a real gripper event! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honk Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) You can ask for any width from 24 to 84mm in 6mm increments. If I remember correctly the RB400 is a fat handled monstrosity. I will only allow regular, rated grippers, no narrow grippers and no grippers with fat or thin handles. I will do my best to get a 180+ gripper, though. ;-) Edited August 14, 2017 by honk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörg Keilbach Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hi Christoph, wenn du nichts anderes hast könnte ich dir meinen 182er COC 3,5 ausleihen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could CCS my RB300, which I couldn't before. On the other hand I never trained grippers for a longer period of time... But I think it's hard to train both if you really want to excel in one of them! Especially with your pulling hand on bigger shoes (the torque gets tremendous!)...

honk Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) OK, I'm super tired right now... We pulled on a more or less brand new Axle pretty slick. Axle God Brixa would've pulled more otherwise. :-) Results are here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTk4q9qu9F90rEo3TGo9SadbKJBAR8pwcNueYZRRicP3vecDeYaKVJ0f34MTBLr9ANXpzTJHCGgp5V4/pubhtml Marco Buhl won Pinch, Grippers, Absolute, and Wilks... Edit: Sorry, missed attempts are missing, just realised the spreadsheet would've been able to handle them, oh well, next time. Edited September 23, 2017 by honk I'm stupid :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
