@Mike Rinderle & @Joseph Sullivan you guys are stronger than me. Both be fine... Me? My key pinch is lousy

I admire your modesty Mr. KING KING OF GRIP ! Dude my key pinch is just as lousy! Heck.... my pinch is just as lousy..... except for my pinch block curling... that’s pretty good... other than that.... I hate big pinchin  and maybe pinch a little here or there. I don’t get the same satisfaction or feeling out of pinch! I’m a wrist and thick burger... I mean bar kind of fella!

Like @Jedd Johnson I credit all my grip accomplishments, every piece of steel I've ever bent, and most of my athletic accomplishments to the stub lift.  I mean really... has there ever been a more functional lift?  I think not.

Yes. #StubLife

Event Change: Napalms Nightmare will be a weighted lift; no longer using the crane scale and will be 4 lifts with rising bar (handle size will be determined). Also we are no longer using last man standing for pinch block curl and LBH.

I'm always of the mindset, not my comp, not my decision.  If I want events that favor what I like then I should hold my own comp with those events.  @JStepien would still beat me, but I'd have a fighting chance.  I just go, compete, hang out with my buddies, do the best I can, and have a good time no matter what the events.

Having hands that aren't small or huge probably makes this easier for me. I don't get much of an advantage or disadvantage either way. The big handled implements are a much bigger disadvantage to guys with sub 7.5" hands.  At 2.5" or so, it becomes more pinch than support for them.
