Guest Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Rolling thunder 200 on a 12 inch pin Hub on 45 plate on a 6 inch pin filed #2 for multiple no set reps for good measure. Done 3 x back to back until camera footage was right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 That's strong. The RT lift is the show-stopper here. 200 on the RT is soooo haaaard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have done the challenge with the crusher, but then it would not be an official CTD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Strong! Not sure I've ever tried a rolling thunder. How does it compare to a crusher or Titan handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 31 minutes ago, Mike Rinderle said: How does it compare to a crusher or Titan handle? I understand RT to be easier because the PVC sleeve has friction against the inner tube, and stuff like dust and chalk can work it's way into that area, and finally the PVC doesn't necessarily stay a perfect circle which makes more friction. Bear in mind I suuuuuuck at these lifts, but I believe RT is considered "easier" than same-sized Crusher/Titan/Trilobite models. 200 is mind-blowing to me on RT though. I think these thick revolving handle lifts are some of the hardest stuff in grip. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climber028 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 There bearing handles in existence, I don't remember who made it but I saw photos awhile back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Nope, crusher is just a solid steel chunk with a hole drilled through with a small axle, which is why it's less susceptible to friction. You want the ratio between handle size and axle size to be as large as possible to make spinning easier, tho that goes out the window with bearings since that would provide fantastic spin, could almost count friction as zero in this application.

May as well make it a 3 and 60 on the hub. Won't change who can cert it much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there should be different levels for the CTD. Some strong people can lift a lot on the RT and also close huge grippers. Something like: Level 1 - 200 lbs RT, COC#3 and 50 lbs hub. Level 2 - 225 lbs RT, COC#3.5 and 70 lbs hub. Level 3 - 275 lbs RT, COC#4 and 90 lbs hub. Numbers don't have to be exactly those, just an idea. Great lifts by the way Joseph! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I think I'd be close on the RT. No frame of reference though other than my slippery Titan handle that's 2.5". Gotten 184 to lockout with that. 187.34 to 6" on the "easy" crusher at KK this year. With a set of squats, some Swedish Fish, and a couple monsters in me, I think I'd give her a good run. #2 I'd no set for a few reps. Not sure I've ever tried an IM Hub. May have in a medly over the years. Not much experience hubbing anything, so absolutely no idea what I would be able to do. I would guess that 200 for the RT was more in line with the other lifts when they had the easier (older version) handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that will ever be the case since that would be easier than COC-cert. I do agree that certifications in general are way too hard. Many people will never reach that level. But then again, the harder it is the sweeter it is once you get there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the point of a certification if it’s attainable by anyone? Then it’s like a trophy for everyone, even if they lose kind of thing.

Climber028 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I propose a Crushed to Dust Millennial Participation Certification: 1 Know someone who has seen a rolling thunder 2 Lift a CoC Trainer to full lockout 3 Identify the hub on a standard 45lb plate 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but it can be different levels. Which already exists but they are very high IMO. CCS closing a #2.5 for a small guy that weighs 58 kg is a huge deal IMO.
