Martin_Arildsson Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Löddeköpinge Grip Challenge XV (15) Saturday, May 27 General Information: Only approved chalk may be used by the competitors No strapping of wrists, hands or arms is allowed (unless approved beforehand in light of injuries) Lifting belts and knee supports are permitted The rising bar principle will be used with 4 attempts. Starting weights will be submitted by the competitors and the lowest starting weight will be used first. After this the second lowest weight will be used. If you fail at a weight you can not go down in weight for your next attempt. You can only request the same weight or a higher weight for your next attempt. Both hands will be tested on the Hand Grippers, One Handed Vertical Bar Lift and the One Handed Deadlift. Event One Hand Grippers The free hand may be used to set the gripper in the gripping hand. The set can be no narrower than the handles being parallel to one another. The set must be clearly visible to the judges before the close is to proceed. Note that setting the gripper right at the limit may mean a longer pause is necessary for the judges to make this decision. Once the gripper has been set with the spring facing up, the gripper is to be closed shut until the handles are clearly touching. No contact can be made with the gripping hand or the gripping arm from the elbow down with the free hand once the close has begun. The entire close must be clearly visible to the referee. The close finishes on the referees signal. Scoring The coefficient for the Hand Grippers is 14.95. The coefficient is multiplied by the total strength of the hand grippers closed (as listed below) to obtain the competitors point score for the event. As an example, if your total (right and left hand results combined) in the event is 5.9, your score for the event will be determined as follows: 5,9 x 14,95 = 88,21p Hand Gripper Strength Ratings CoC #2 - 2.05 CoC #2 - 2.38 PDA 359 – 2.69 PDA 399 – 2.81 CoC #3 – 3.0 PDA 437 – 3.25 BB E - 3.54 BB SE - 3.65 BB SE – 3.81 BB SE – 3.89 Event Two Two Handed Pinch Lift The pinch apparatus must be positioned between the lifter’s feet. The lifter must grip the top of the lifting plates with both hands in a pinch grip. The pinch apparatus must be raised to a point where the centre bar hits a predetermined marker 16.5 inches in height. The shoulders do not have to be pulled erect, nor the body or legs straight. The lift ends once the centre bar has made contact with the predetermined marker. Upon completion the lifter will then return the apparatus to the ground. Contact must be maintained between the lifter's hands and the apparatus until it is resting on the floor. NOTE: The width of the pinch apparatus is adjustable to suit different sized hands. Before the event starts, you will be given the opportunity to try it and find your best width. The apparatus will be set to the width that the majority choose who will go first and complete their lifts. It will then be altered to the next most popular width and those lifters will compete, and so on. Scoring The coefficient for the Two Handed Pinch Lift is 1.061. The coefficient is multiplied by the weight lifted (in kilograms) to obtain the competitors point score for the event. As an example, if your best lift in the event is 80kg, your score for the event will be determined as follows: 80 x 1.061 = 84.88p Event Three One Handed Vertical Bar Lift The vertical bar must be positioned between the lifter’s feet. The bar is to be gripped near the top with one hand (the distance between the top of the hand and the top of the bar after setting can be no more than 5cm) and is not to touch the wrist, forearm or leg and the lifting hand can not be locked against the thigh or any part of the body. The lifting forearm though is allowed contact with the thigh during the lift. Hook gripping is not permitted. The free hand may be used to brace against the legs and/or body during the lift. The bar must be raised clear of the floor by at least 5 cm’s. Upon completion the lifter will then return the bar to the ground under control. Scoring The coefficient for the One Handed Vertical Bar Lift is 0.3275 . The coefficient is multiplied by the total weight lifted (in kilograms) to obtain the competitors point score for the event. As an example, if your total (right and left hand results combined) in the event is 250kg, your score for the event will be determined as follows: 250 x 0.3275 = 81.88p Event Four One Handed Deadlift The bar may be raised either in front of the lifter or the lifter may straddle the bar. The lifter will use one hand to grip the bar in the centre. Hook gripping is not permitted. The free hand may be used to brace against the legs and/or body during the lift. The bar must be raised to a point where both ends of the bar must remain knee high and the legs straightened. The shoulders do not have to be pulled erect, nor the body straight as long as the legs are straight and the bar motionless with both ends above the knee joint. The lift ends with the referee's signal. Upon completion the lifter will then return the bar to the ground. Contact must be maintained between the lifter's hands and the bar until it is resting on the floor. Scoring The coefficient for the One Handed Deadlift is 0.4367. The coefficient is multiplied by the total weight lifted (in kilograms) to obtain the competitors point score for the event. As an example, if your total (right and left hand results combined) in the event is 220kg, your score for the event will be determined as follows: 220 x 0.4367 = 96.07p Event Five Unbraced Bending The bending style must be unbraced and above the waist. At no point are the hands allowed to touch the body or drop below the waist during the stage of the bend. Stiff materials will not be allowed for wrapping the. You may use one or two pieces (split wrapping style) of cloth for bending. The starting style cannot be changed during the stage of the bend. Bending double overhand style is not permitted. The bend is completed once the bar has been bent to at least 60 degrees in one motion Euro 2005 8mm HRS Stock 7'' 84.24p 6 3/4'' 87.73p 6 1/2'' 91.51p 6 1/4'' 95.59p 6'' 100.00p 5 3/4'' 104.80p 5 1/2'' 110.04p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilkaz Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Sounds like a nice contest ! Interesting that you're not allowing DO bending !! How hard is your 8mm HRS stock in comparison to a Red and typical things bent in North America like a 6" Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolt ? Obvious HRS is easier than CRS, but I'm curious as to where your Euro stock rates. Thx.. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 The 8mm HRS is about the same strength as a grade 5 at the same length. The stock is a bit too easy for the best guys at the comp. but I don't think Arne has found a suitable stock above the 8mm HRS in strength.

A silly question but... Do you guys have 8mm CRS available ? That should challange your best guys as it is just a bit wider than 5/16" or Red Nail or FBBC size.

Mikael Siversson Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 There is a huge difference in difficulty between kinking a red nail to 60 degrees in one single motion, DU or reverse style, using a tea towel and bending it to a U-shape using DO and leather wrapping.

bencrush Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I saw that touching the body is not allowed at all. That must be incredibly hard when bending DU! I always forcefully scrape my hands down my chest until about the mid waist area when bending DU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the swiss Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 this is sounding more and more like a euro before the euro contest. looking forward to the results! Theo, make Martin work a little, will you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_Arildsson Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) this is sounding more and more like a euro before the euro contest. looking forward to the results! Theo, make Martin work a little, will you? Haha! Theo will sleep at my place... So I don't know if he can make it to the contest alive. I got some injuries (right hand after a couple of rednail attempts, left: split thumbweb after some pinchwork). So it won't be any more training after this friday.
