LAINE SNOOK Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hello All. Had some fun(?) with the Crusher tonight - much harder than the Silarukov 60mm handle. I had to dig in to get the reps out tonight. At one point, I thought I was going to expire!!! I will try the R/T with the same weight next time. Good luck.

Last years Crusher List with Laine's 20 reps put in. Hi Andrew, You've made a VERY tough handle - it really does make you work for each rep... thank you for bringing such pain into my life!!!! I am probably going to try for a decent number with 106kgs in the next week or so - it will be interesting to see where I end up. Take care.

It felt real enough when I was doing it - too real... I'm sorry that you don't seem to believe it - I made a point of doing it/weighing it to avoid any doubts about the lifts... sometimes it upsets me to think that people don't believe things I lift - but if you think it's 'bs' that's your choice. Take care. Laine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry if I misunderstood your comment - I am 'neuro-atypical', and sometimes I struggle to see the meaning in things, it also makes me socially awkward, which is why I tend to keep myself to myself. Added to that, I have other 'issues' to contend with. That said, I have decided to do some things worthy of note in 2019, and I plan to enter some contests and see where I end up.

Laine Go to the annual AOBS Dinner. There's lots of people there with it. I've been called "Rain Man" a few too many times myself, so I shouldn't make jokes about it. On a serious note, your numbers are remarkable. Your advice of "high reps" for improving Rolling Thunder performance is pretty much Gospel in the grip world, and it's been successfully followed by many. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew - I am probably going to try 106kgs/233lbs at the weekend, to see how many reps I get out of it - do you think I should add 0.5kgs to it so it is higher than the record? Let me know, Laine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
