LBH attached directly to Fbbc loading pin? This makes it quite different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASmith77 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I’m very interested in the event in Missouri. Never done a grip contest but they interest me. I’m currently working on the IronMind Blockbuster Pinch Block and also the IronMind Hub. Can anyone give me some names to contact about this event? Thanks, Andy Smith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe so, but there will probably be one in Queens (NYC), if that's not too far, and there is always Jedd's near the PA/NY border. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Larsen Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Im not in here much, but regarding the lockout vs. crossbar lifts.. I like lockout lifts better aesthetically Speaking! I don't like the short sumo lockouts though.. The crossbar lifts look like shit, but is way easier to judge.. I'm pretty sure the crossbar lifts are the future for 1 handed lifts.. I think the crossbar lifts should be lifted to the same hight on all events.. And the lifting height should be high enough to make it look like a lockout lift.. To handle the different heights of people we should all be standing on blocks wich could be elevated up and down.. Has anyone mentioned an adjustable loadingpin? A loading pin wich could be raised and lowered to fit each and everyones desired height.. Or to make lockout lifts look better, with no bullshit 1" lockouts.. Then no blocks would be needed..??

This would be really tough to do considering there are different loading pins being used; one from Barrel Strength and a standard one for the crusher and LBH.

Yeah, I ment for future contests.. It should be possible to do all events on one loadingpin, wich is adjustable.. Someone would have to make a new loadingpin..

But the sport will look even more weird and attract fewer people that way, IMO (Using a too short lifting distance).. It just feels like a half lift to me.. It's the prettyness of the lift, wich get less so and not the lifter Sumo is fine as long as you lift to the required hight or not making it a 1"lift.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
