jad Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 WOW, Paul pinched 215!!! That's the lift that jumps out the most to me considering the improvement and the common wisdom that it takes a long time to improve on this lift. No surprises on the grippers, I figured they'd be down considering the wacky order and the pause-set stuff. Eric's axle lift is also HUGE considering his handsize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprises on the grippers, I figured they'd be down considering the wacky order and the pause-set stuff. Eric's axle lift is also HUGE considering his handsize I agree Josh, I would have guessed he would pull around 195 based on his recent pinch focus (and his prior trouble with the lift), but 215 is shockingly good, congratulations Paul! :rock Paul's axle jumped up about 50 lbs. since GGC as well! It looked like there were several PRs set on axle. Great job to all who had the fortitude to step up to the platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Feb. 9th, 2008, Arizona Cactus Grip Showdown2HP--163 pounds Axle--325 pounds Grippers--138# #3 CoC Jan. 24th, 2009, Metroplex Mayhem 2HP--224 pounds Axle--371 pounds Grippers--157# Elite 350 days worth of progress. 2HP-- +61 pounds Axle-- +46 pounds Grippers-- +19 pounds -Rex You get no love on the axle due to your handsize but your pinch progress is freaking amazing as well What's interesting is that I've heard other well-known gripsters comment that 2HP isn't that technical of an event and that's why it's such a good indicator of handstrength, big strong guys do well right away, blah, blah... You seem to be the opposite: you were already plenty big and strong, huge hands but just average on a supposedly untechnical lift. Then with some training your numbers skyrocket. Now I'm sure you've gotten stronger in a year but I'd guess a lot of it is getting used to the implement as well? Seemed like you were pinching 2 45's not long after training with Aaron so the base strength was there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
