Bob Lipinski Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Sorry for the change. I have gone to using my own coeffecients. Multiply x weight to get points. Based off current records. Hammers: .5 Axle: .025 V-bar: .01429 Pinch: .04255 Grippers will be assigned points. #4 will be 10, #3 7.75, #2 5.25 and I will have plenty in between. There will be a chart at the meet with point values for each lift in 5 pound increments from very light to over the world record, so there won't be any need to bring your calculators.

Jedd Johnson Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Bob, Are your weights calibrated? Are they weighed? The reason I ask - if you have two dudes, it doesn't take that long to weigh them at the post office. I think it has been a good investment of time for future contests, to tell you the truth. We were able to load all the data into a spreadsheet (Smitty did all of it) and when we wanted to add up Chad's weights, it took like 2 or 3 minutes tops, usuing Microsoft Excel. Just wanted to throw that out there. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Jedd- Almost all the weights are weighed, just did 5 45's this morning. I need to buy a few more plates, but 90% of them are done already. Before the competition, I think I will add up the amount needed to break records using my plates. Thanks for the suggestions though Jedd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 So far, I have weighed: 7 45's 2 35's 2 25's 2 10's 2 5's 2 2.5's LGC V-bar Going to buy 2 more 35's and 2 10's (extra 35's are for the pinch). Also need to weigh vbar adapter, and someone else is going to do the pinch device for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 That seems plenty. Having the discs calibrated is also great just for normal training. It has eliminated us loading any bars lopsided. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
