EricMilfeld Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 TIME 0001 February 7, through 2359 February 13th, 2005, CST EVENTS One Hand Deadlift Straddle a standard olympic bar (rotating sleeves), and partially deadlift to the point where the center, middle of the bar attains a height of atleast mid knee cap level, and hold in the finished position for atleast 2 seconds. Knurling is acceptable in the middle of the bar. Do not use a hook grip. The thumb may cover a finger, but must not itself be covered by a finger. Perform with both the right and left hand, scoring each individually. Vertical Bar Using a 1" outside diameter smooth metal bar, grasp with one hand and lift atleast 2" off the floor. Insure that no part of the hands or fingers extend lower than 7" from the top of the bar. No hook-gripping is allowed. Maintain your grip of the bar as you return it to the floor. Contest both individual hands. Plate Pinch Using both hands, pinch grip two metallic plates, with the smooth sides facing outwards, clearing the ground by atleast 3 inches and holding for atleast 2 seconds in the completed position. Additional weight may be added by a means of your choice, provided that the additional weight is balanced between the front and the back of the two plates. Grippers Close the highest rated Iron Mind gripper, or corresponding Beef Builder gripper, you are capable of closing, for one or more reps. You may set the gripper using your free hand up to the point where the handles are parallel to each other, but not beyond that point. If you manage more than one rep, open the gripper to at least the point where the handles are parallel to each other between reps. The free hand may not contact the gripper or any part of the hand or arm closing the gripper, after the initial set. The following poundage will be awarded for a close of the various IM grippers: Trainer-100, #1-140, #2-195, #3-280, #4-365. The following poundage will be awarded for each additional rep completed with the various grippers: Trainer-1, #1-2, #2-3, #3-4, #4-5. For example, 3 reps completed with a #2 gripper would yield a score of 201 pounds. (195 pounds, plus 3 pounds multiplied by 2 additional reps equals 201 pounds). If a poundage greater than that awarded for closing the next most difficult gripper is achieved by repping, than the lifter will be awarded only the poundage for closing the more difficult gripper. Perform with both the right and left hand, scoring each individually. Following is a list of the only grippers that may be used: Trainer = BB Beginner #1 = BB Advanced #2 = BB Master #3 = BB Grand Master #4 = BB Grand Elite SCORING The usual points system, where the winner of each event is awarded 10 points will be used. The non-winning lifts will be divided by the winning poundage, and multiplied by ten to acquire the appropriate points. How To PM Results By Example Eric Milfeld (Gripboard nickname here if applicable) One Hand Deadlift Right 205 Left 190 PR V-bar Right 215 Left 195 PR Plate Pinch 156 Grippers Right #1x6 reps PR Left Trainer x 12 reps ADDITIONAL NOTES Use only regular gym chalk as a grip aid. No wrist wraps or tape. Send in all results in pounds. Include the weight of the V-bar itself, as well as the loading apparutus for the plate pinch, in the results. Designate all personal records with a "PR" in your results. All PMs must be received in my Gripboard box by 2359, February 13th. Tell a grip buddy and let's make this the biggest and best Gripboard Grip Bash to date! And enjoy your training as you strive to set new personal records!

DAN PRAYDIS Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 eric your opinion would you get get more points if you did an easier gripper for reps like a no .1 for 50 or a no 2 for 5 or 6 reps. people who get higher maxes instead of less but more powerful low reps what you think ?????

You'll always score higher if you close a heavier gripper, regardless of reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarudriller Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I was gonna give it a shot, now I'm not sure. I'll have to see how the elbow feels, probably a day to day thing. Question: anyone have suggestions on what order to do the lifts in? I know we have a week but I'm thinking it would make sense to make the last lift the one that would negatively affect the other lifts and vice versa.

FrankyBoy Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Grippers, pinch, vbar Thats my usual order of events when doing a meeting with grip buddies. Yesterday, we included even bending as 2nd event and I got a new PR in the vbar at the very end. I hope to may participate, I'm at a comp in the swiss on feb 5th, but since theres still one week left for the deadline, that should be ok.

tarudriller Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. Elbow permitting I'm gonna give it a go, my numbers aren't going to impress anyone but all I'm trying to do is set some PRs with the help of the motivation I'm getting from the 'Bash.

climber511 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I've been actually training the events for this one. Things are going pretty well except for the grippers. I just can't get into the grippers right now. I've gotten the backs of my hands messed up from tearing up carpet at work and the grippers hurt like the devil. We'll see how it goes come contest time. Good Luck to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERXT Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 we don't have a 1 inch V-bar at the gym i train at. but they do have an 2 1/2 inch V-bar i have been using. is this ok??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the thicker bar would only serve to make the lift more difficult, you may use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I don't know how most of you set up your events but I see there has been some discussion already. I'm going to try it two ways this time. First I'll do all the events in the same session - allowing a moderate rest between events. Then I'm going to rest a couple days and try one event each day and see if fatique played any role in my performance the first time thru. Not much of an experiment I know but we'll see how it goes. I'll post my results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Best of luck to you at this contest. I got really sick this weekend and have not been able to get to the gym to finish my lifts. Hope you all break PR's. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
