Climber028 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Awesome, never competed with a dynamometer so that's gonna be fun. Don't think I've used a 2 inch handle either so hopefully can pull something big just by training 2.5s for a month. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Just wanted to chime in about the venue: I thought it was an excellent venue, and it is conducive to the current environment, because it is a big space with high ceilings. I am sure it could safely accommodate more than the 10 we had last year. And Tank ran a great comp. I hope to see many folks there! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have had to ask if you hadn’t held the LBH event to lockout at your own contest a little over a year ago lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Andrade Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Heads up, at least to the local competitors. I will be using @Jedd Johnson’s Euro pinch device for my contest. I know most of you have used it before. Mine will be for warm ups only. It is looking like i will not be able to get a training session in for everyone before the comp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
