FrankyBoy Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Here some of the videos I filmed at the european grip championship in sweden. I really do hope that all the numbers I associated with the movies are correct. The competitors line-up The Competitors From left to right: Martin Arildsson Benny Wennberg David Hurzeler Steve Gardener Johan Albrektsson Erik Franz Kalle Lane Dean Bolt Jonas Svaren Florian Kellersmann Elizabeth Talbot David Horne Grippers That event was very difficult to film due to the different set techniques and the two judges who had to check the set and the close. So only a few takes were good enough to be posted: Some takes of Flo: Watch the set style (gripboard-style) and the acceleration of the handles. #3 close (3.00) Elite close (3.22) Elite Close (3.38) Liz: #2-Close (2.34) Benny: Elite (3.54) miss left, #3 (3.00) close right Steve: Elite Close (3.54) 2-Hand Pinch The Pinch-Monster himself: Davids awesome 105kg (231lbs) lift Dean: 93kg (205lbs) Benny: 90kg (198lbs) Kalle: 82kg (181lbs) 1-Hand Vertical Bar Johan: 150kg (330lbs) left, 145kg (319lbs) right Kalle: 145kg (319lbs) Benny: 135kg (297lbs) Liz: 112.5kg (248lbs) 1-Hand Lift Liz: 200kg (441lbs) David Hurzeler: 225kg (496lbs) Triple Body Weight Jonas: 240kg (529lbs) David Horne: 300kg (662lbs) Benny: 300kg (662lbs) 320kg (705lbs) Benny attempts for a new european record 330kg (727lbs) Bending Liz: 190k Benny: 235k David Hurzeler: 257.5k David Horne: 257.5k Steve: 267.5k Please enjoy!

terminator Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Great performances, and great clips. Good to see David fired up like that, intensity made the difference. Anyone else notice how large Arne is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 A couple of pretty hefty folks there. What are DH stats? He is a pretty good size fellow too, nice traps. Probably from the 1 hand deadlifting, that takes some serious trap power. No wonder he manhandled the dinnie stones, thats barely a warmup weight compared to this.

David Horne Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Pat, Yes I was well fired up. You have to be against these giants! Mike, I weigh about 102k (225lb) and am 6'2", but small compared to most of them in that field, except for 'Mighty Atom' Hurzeler. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
