Andrew P Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I've done several posts and vid's on the event. Joe that's the crazy thing about grip. I feel the event totally in my wrists and can tell when by wrist strength is down with this move. Different strokes for different folks.

Andrew P Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Andrew Durniat is the wild card for me. He didn't train for 2016 legends much at all and was winning the whole thing going into the final event. Now with 2 days, 7 events and his conditioning is through the roof. I don't know this will be interesting for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I get the technical aspect of it down I will feel it in my wrists... but I do not want people to think I’m gonna do well in this because I smash hammers like it’s my job. This one is way different than any of the other hammer feats I specialize in. Technical to the core more so than any other. I don’t feel it in my wrists... but like you said, it’s different for everyone. That’s the beauty of a grip contest. There are things we like, love and hate.... and considering I started this lift 2 weeks ago... haha I hate it because I SUCK AT IT.... but I’m still gonna practice it after the comp as well, because I want to get good at it to be great at all hammer feats. Don’t want to leave a chink in the wrist armor. It’s a good thing.. just don’t get your hopes up, Fists of Fury, I’m gonna be a let down on this one!

climber511 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Doing the lift with you knuckles flat on he floor changes it from using a large pad under you hands - a LOT Edited September 4, 2019 by climber511 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levering it over a pad feels more like a triceps press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!! I never ended up even trying slim levers so you'll definitely have me beat there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
