I really, really wanted to be at that comp, but it was on my girlfriend's birthday, and you can't tell your girlfriend you won't be at her birthday because you wanna grip instead. Well, I guess you can tell her that once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 3.5 SB for 16 sec 160kg Axle 80kg Saxon Did you make an attempt at SB on the 4? 16 seconds on a 3.5 suggests you would have a shot at the 4 for at least a second or 2, unless it was an easy 3.5 and a hard 4. That's a nice long hold! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice long hold! The #4 was 217 RGC and the 3.5 was 178. In training I got a 217 fr 2 seconds so I knew it would be close. I tried the #4 on all 3 attempts that day but couldn't get it caught. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never tried one at 217, but certainly could see missing that! 178 isn't light for a 3.5 either. 16 seconds is strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lder Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Incase anyone is interested. I ran this contest using calibrated plates and adjusted the starting weights, including collars, of both the axle and Saxon lift to 25kg. The Axle had an addition 10kg added in plates with the 5kg competition Eleiko collars. The Sorinex Saxon bar was loaded with 3.5kg in plates and Proloc collars. This made precise weight jumps easier and with the help of a loading sheet the competitors knew exactly what was loaded at all times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug, I was meaning to share this earlier to clarify the weights lifted, especially with the Saxon Bar where the small change plates were not visible on most videos or pictures. Thanks again for competing, I look forward to seeing you at next year's contest. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
