anson Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I agree with Chris, many have a goal 2 hand pinch of 200 pounds. And the jump from 190 to 210 seems a tad Sasquatchian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 At the top it says $50 per athlete, and at the bottom it says $60? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 It's $50. My bad. Point well taken on the 200 pound mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Some questions David Horne asked. His questions are in black. My answers is red: 1. Entry fee is $50 at the top, but $60 at the bottom. It is 50. 2. How many attempts per hand are allowed on the grippers? 3 turns per person. 1 try per hand each turn. 1 effort per turn per hand. So I go right handed for the 2 and i either hit it or miss it. From there, I gather my thoughts and set up for the left hand. 3. I didn't know you were doing the hand sizes this year. Anyway my hand is just over 7.5", so can I do the Large Hand class as well? Yes if you are over 7.76 then you are in the large hand group. 4. On the Two Hands Pinch Lift, say I start at 230lbs as my first attempt, what lifts can I do above 230lb? Anything you want, smallest denomination is 2.5 pounds, at this time. 5. On the V bar, what weight is there above 385lb? Anything you want, smallest denomination is 2.5 pounds, at this time. 6. On the reverse bending you have the degrees bent at 60 degrees. Is this right, as our lists, and John Beatty's list are 40 degrees. 40 degrees is what it should say. My bad - I will get it updated. 7. Will the bending stock be calibrated, say be Eric Milfeld? I hadn't considered this as an option. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 A 1RM will be cool for the Rolling Thunder event...especially using the car deadlift...that would be a crowd pleaser All the other events...right on Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 I hear you, but I am afraid it would take too long considering we are testing both hands in the grippers and the vbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt Lane Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well, I havent trained grip in over a year. And on my right hand my thumb is broken, and still not healed. But I think I shall try and make it despite no PR's. Its always fun regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smitty Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 That is going to be an awesome event. Very easy to jump off the floor, but when it is in your hands - you fatigue very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Okay, not 100% yet, but I guess I'll be there, too. Wether I'll be competing or not, we'll see. I'll have to think about that, calculate my expenses and whatnot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
