Eric Roussin Posted February 9, 2019 Author Share Posted February 9, 2019 With 20+ venues, lifts to lockout would be much more likely to lead to judging variances. Just trying to make things as simple as possible. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, the results should be entered into GSI as I suspect the lift to a crossbar will be more often contested going forward. This is what I foresee happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will come out to play - I have it in my head to get a decent Crusher number, and as it's only a 6" lift, I should be able to do more weight than a full lift. It should be fun?!

2sweetdadstrength Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 If we’re lifting to a specific height, where should the crossbar be on the loading pin? At the very bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Is there a problem with counting a crossbar lift for the comp, and also going for lockout to count for an ironmind record (with a video review maybe, or lockout judge also if requested?)

At the very bottom? This will be decided by individual promoters. The crossbar and crossguard heights will be adjusted so that the lift range is the same across all venues.

For King Kong, we won’t be tracking this, but if someone wants to arrange this with IronMind I don’t see a problem. But competitors going to lockout would be at a disadvantage for King Kong scoring (i.e. greater chance of dropping the weight). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealB Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 37 minutes ago, Tommy J. said: I could see it being a definite issue for judging purposes if the lifts weren’t done separately. might be a better idea to make the WR attempts for Ironmind after the comp lifts to crossbar are already completed and scored. Otherwise i could see this thing getting very convoluted. Second this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Flesher Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Wow, that’s a lot looser than the ironmind hub rules... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbler Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'd expect the flask rules for competition to state what diameter loading pin, and which position to use for the quick release pin. Good bit easier when it's loose (small dia loading pin) and can be tilted (quick release pin at the bottom of the flask) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
