Florian Kellersmann Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I have heard about some very strong guys who will probably compete - but let's wait and see until mid July. Who?! What will the coeffient for RT thumbless be? I don't know much about the rules etc., but do we need a coefficient? We could use the percentage method (100 points for the highest result), couldn't we? Mobster should know a coefficient, I guess, since RT thumbless was used in the Iron Grip 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobster should know a coefficient, I guess, since RT thumbless was used in the Iron Grip 2006. It would be more "balanced" (can't find the right word atm). Also the events wouldn't be equal in points if some use a coefficient and some uses the percentage method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) It means I'm finally back to where I was god only knows how long ago when I once did 90-kilos for one in training. I've made some serious progress on the pinch - at least by my standard for pinch and wanna get my name in the top 10 or better list. Based on tonight I'd guess a few kilos more which would mean a single with 92-93 kilos is possible. My v-bar is down and the one hand deadlift is stagnent but I feel confident I can win the other events based on who is coming to compete so far. I've just looked at the current records and a 90-kilo or better lift DOES put the lifter into the top 10. However, the jumps are short with 92-94 then much bigger at 98 and a 100-102 then a massive 107+. Come August 25th I'd be happy as a pig in shit with a 94-kilo lift.

Martin_Arildsson Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hey! Burkhard can you point out on a map where it is? I get alot of different hits I'd also like to see the rules for all the events. I know I'm a pain in the ass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get alot of different hits I'd also like to see the rules for all the events. I know I'm a pain in the ass! The location is Haltern. I think You can find it with google or an internet map. It's round about 50kms to the north from Dortmund - You'll find it for sure. The rules are the same as usually used in major competitions (for example the last australian championships; You find the rules on aussiestrenght.com). Additional the RT has to be lifted to full deadlift position (thumbless) and lowered under control after down signal, that's it! The weight increments for each event are mentionend on the german site (english version) which I linked above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
