07/31/2005 Contest Simulation day

Grippers

2.4 rated narrow SM lefty (missed a real SM by just 1/16")

3.1 rated IM #3 righty (didn't max out here due to a slightly inflammed tendon in my elbow, need some rest here)

Pinch

80kg on the euro setup, that thing is still too slick. :blush

vbar

120kg lefty (and a real nice tore at the usual place but much much deeper)

122.5kg righty

OHL

190 lefty

210 righty

seems low but I'm really satisfied cause I shot for 212.5kg and 225kg as new PRS and they were soo close. At the euros that should be good lifts.

Bending

Full Bend event (DO)

Bent a Red in under 2 mins to under 2" outer legs.

Kink Event (DU)

Suprised myself a lot today

I bend 8mm HRS bar (german edition) down to 5" quite easily.

Tried the hard euro stock and bent the 7.5" version easy too.

Then I went for a Red DU and got a kink into that one(like 6mm at one end when placed on a table.)

Back at home.

Traps and legs are soooo sore.

Hands are under fire. :laugh

Grippers I got my optimum. Missed even the 3.38 just paper-thin in my last

attempt with my right.

My lefty did a 2.69, that was my goal and it was quite hard to get, probably the biggest success in the contest for me.

Lifted 85kg in the 2-hand pinch, 86kg would have been silver. :trout

So I got 4th since Victor is lighter than me.

At least a new german record.

Lifted 120kg in the vbar first attempt. 2nd was 125, bar slipped and my hand was torn crazily (Mobster made a nice colorful picture of it).

Righty I got 125.

That was german record in total also, but Burki outperformed my by 2.5kg in his last lift only some minutes later. :bow

One hand lift went better than expected, I got 225 + 250, meaning german record again.

I bent the 6" x 8mmHRS, which was silver, David bent the same and is lighter.

Despite various arguments not to do it I couldn't resist and bent a Red in the full

bend event. 30 secs (incl. changing of wraps, to get it under 2" outer legs), perfect U, without much effort. :happy

I never really trained with tea towels. Actually I seriously started two days before the comp to get a feeling with it and did the 6" version of the stock Arne sent me.

Overall 5th is better than expected, I must improve my crappy vbar to do better overall.

You're correct Franky!

You got 2 New German Records. One in 2Hand Pinch, one in 1Hand Lift!

Burkhard got the VBar German record.

Congrats Frank and Burkhard for the new PRs and a great competition :bow

Thanks Steve.

That happened during my 2nd attempt on the vbar.

Have to work seriously on my crappy technique obviously.

Yes, I am preparing for that contest.

I'm posting in the other log though.

Don't want to keep too much logs running.
