CoC#3 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 With regard to the one hand lift: If the handle or chain touches the leg this is not a cause for failure. Does this mean it can be lifted as if you are doing a one hand 'hand and thigh' lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 It is very hard for the handle or the chain to not touch the legs, so we'll let it go. Because the handle is triangular shaped and is obviously held between your legs, you won't be able to get a hand & thigh effect that you you can get with a two hand bar. See you there on the day, get your entrance fee into Stevie boy, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Nice long list of names - no sign of any fees so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Would be great to see Chris James competing. Nice to see Andy Christie going at it again too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted January 15, 2007 Author Share Posted January 15, 2007 We had another off board inquiry today and a likely candidate for the novice class. Round numbers are about 18 all in if eveyone who has expressed an interest attends, competes and (ahem) pays their fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 First payment has arrived - Pete1006 goes to the top of the class. Thus far the PP account is empty and the bill for the one hand lift bar should arrive with the bar itself sometime today - hopefully. If all those of you who seemed serious start sending your money in we can have a great competition... So start!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) Mine will be with you on the 25th. Ok'd. Mike Corlett aka Hubgeezer - paid I'll be nagging one and all. The further ahead of time it's all organized the easier it is. For example I have been chasing, again, delivery of the one hand lift bar. The pick up was three days late. Arne, while dealing with personal problems, wont be able to get back to me until Mikeal approves a new batch of offical V-bars. In a week or two I'll be thinking about awards and prizes - there are some RB certification grippers alreay promised from our German friends. Anyone who puts these together AND competes will know it can be a thankless task and as someone competing I would rather I am ready to concentrate on my lifts and not worrying about venues, equipment etc etc. Edited January 17, 2007 by mobsterone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Just in time. The one hand lift bar (finally) arrived today. I was a little worried it wouldn't hold enough weight but I can get 8 plates on each end easily. On our scales the empty bar was 31.6lbs (it's heavy tube like what was used in Sweden) 16 x 20-kilo plates = 320-kilos or, with bar included, well over 700lbs. I may use some of the dosh to get some slimline bulldog style collars and they will allow me to add another 40-kilos if need be. As 300 kg is a damn good lift it's case of 'just in case' rather than 'we will for sure need them'. Mind you Chris J might have something to say about that... I also attached a chain, clips etc and tested it for balance - spot on. With the plates a little off that's more likely to unbalance the weight but as it's a low lift it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm training the lift tomorrow and so will get some photos taken then. Hopefully my skin, which tore during v-bar work and sore today, wont interfere with the one hand lift stuff tomorrow. I may need to tape my hands up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunkster Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Sounds cool. I'll take the pictures for you if you want and get them on tomorrow. Can't wait for Monday now, and I'll need to tape mine up too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdfk20 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I thought i would have a go at wrist curls the other night as i see its one of the events but due to an old wrist injury i can twist my left wrists all the way round so that my palm is facing up, this means that im putting unequal pressure on my wrists, and its very sore when i do it. If i can't do this event in the competition, do i get 0 points for that event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
