Eric Roussin Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 The Living Legends contest is just a few days from now, and there should be much more talk about it. The contest is three years in the making and the time and effort that Andrew has (and is) putting into it is unbelievable. I, for one, look forward to enjoying this weekend. Andrew has put together an awesome collection of events that will test many different aspects of hand strength. It's also not often that this many high caliber grip athletes assemble in a single location to see who is the overall best on the day. As for predictions, I think if Jedd is healthy he will be the man to beat. I don't think he has any weak events in this line-up. Anyone else want to share their thoughts? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying the same thing to myself today, “why aren’t more people talking about legends”.... weird. As for predictions, I predict I will not be the winner! Haha.

Guest Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) If Chad Woodall is coming, I’d say he would be a contender for the winner, based off previous competition performances and feats smashed.

But if he hasn’t, it will be tough for him to beat Jedd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No... but Jedd hinted at him coming out of retirement on a recent episode of TWIG, so my guess is he may just show to legends... that is my prediction. I could be wrong, but the possibility is there.

Eric Roussin Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 If he comes out of retirement for this contest, then my guess is that he is ready and certainly has a shot at the overall title. This weekend can't get here soon enough! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inch Medley - Johnson, Durniat, Larsen. Overall winner Jedd Johnson. I am not gonna do well at this sledge event. I cannot get the technical aspects down and in my opinion it is not a pure wrist strength event at all and Is more of a “trick” lift as it deals with a lot of momentum from the body. I am not a fan at all. Did this lift for the first time maybe 2 weeks ago and just can’t get the POP out of it that everyone else seems to get. I see myself being one of the bottom ones on this lift.Maybe I have weak wrists..LMAO!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Eric thanks for starting this. I don't have any unlisted athletes that I know of that are coming. If there are anyone new that will be just as much a surprise for me as the rest of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a demo. This was my very first attempt. It is momentum dependent and very little wrist in my opinion and I SUCK at it. I am not going to do well at it at all.
