Should be your choice. I'm excited Mike. I'm planning on entering no matter what the lifts but I do like what you've chosen. Strangely enough I've never trained SB. I'll have to test it out and do some serious CoC trainer holds Joe Sullivan - Jason is a friend of mine that has been a long time strength athlete in the NW. Mainly strongman, PL, and recently grip. What makes him stand out is his physical size. If you stood him next to big Z they would be shaped the same. Jason is lifetime drug free. He's not world class strong but strong enough. Thank you Matt! I don't select events solely on how well I can perform in them-Example- last 2 OSH I had IM BB pinch block with 7 3/8" hands not ideal- I go with personal grip philosophy. Have heard from many to eliminate KP and pickaxe so I will next year. SB you will excel after few sessions- but totally different than 20MM as I gave an unnamed person a gripper I can 20MM x2 and he could not close MMS. However, he can do a few sec better on SB. Being sanctioned and leaderboard tracked I could not help people at my contests physically to use the block and close gripper- it takes some coordination. SB is not a leaderboard tracked so I can hold the bullet for competitors if they wish- have seen it done in a big German grip contest. Take less time, too:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCE doesn't seem interested in doing sanctioned stuff at the moment but that could change of course. Personally I like the monster crush (3" rollers) for wrist work. I've never tried the wrist wrench although it sounds really fun! I remember we talked a bit about osh '19 but I can't recall what lifts you were leaning towards. I know they're not set it stone... Yeah WW/replica is a unique beast of implement. I just finished 4 week training and gained 1 lb. and was very happy - such is the way of the device. Tomorrow I will do some Thumbless WW and that is a B@#@$ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think if a guy is has that rare shot at setting a WR he should do it. Who else is going to use that implement in a comp? I guess as long as DH is cool with you doing it the way you're thinking then problem solved.

I will have to be in the low 90s on that as DH is the best on that device and have feeling he will set it around 90lb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much are you doing now - if you care to divulge? Also what size is that ball? I think you would only gain any significant advantage if you did the percentage based scoring. I know you normally aim your contest at beginners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnish ball is very well-made and designed really for all hand sizes- truly tests KP. Yesterday was only 3x ever trying device and was/ felt great improvement over last hold. Still nowhere near my capabilities as I stopped all KP for 3 months and no single KP for over 6 months. I advertise to all gyms, MMA gyms, military, etc but many egos involved and people get humbled when I show them devices. I also advertise on GripboardJCE was suppose to attend but first year he in Cali and last year maybe he was "retired".
