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.

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!

you might want to make a cheap wrist wrench out of PVC with a 2" diameter or something, drastic different feel from 2.5"

I am indeed short but i actually prefer the crossbar as it's easier to judge

Not making any promises... Not saying yes or saying no... But, its a possibility I could compete. With this covid thing been cautious, because my wife had 2 medical procedures done over the summer & my dad is in phase 1 of major knee replacement surgery... So, shall see what happens...

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

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.

Good call. That was for IM records qualifications requirements only. Lockout is so 2009.
