Poll: Grip Events

[pdfk20]

hey all,

I thought by starting this poll we can see what the general preferred events are, maybe it will help guys choose events when they are putting on a comp. or maybe not.

I look forward to seeing everyones opinions.

Great idea Pete!

I love the axle deadlift and thickbar in general, grippers however remain my favorite. I'm not sure if I'm the only one but I could care less if it's not an exciting event for spectators, after all they're just watching anyway

2hp was my first and grippers my 2nd. I have never tried an axle but that would have been a close 3rd because I like thickbar work(although I suck at it).

I don't know that I really have a favorite. I try to train as many different things as I can at home. I enjoy whatever is "clicking" for me at the moment. Having said that I don't like the events that move huge amounts of weight(25mm v-bar, hand and thigh, etc)

Did anyone think otherwise? Grippers are indespensable in my opinion.

Mine's obviously bending first. Next I would go with 2" Vbar, grippers or blobs. I voted for blobs.

As discussed, Grippers are a MUST IMO

I will always have them in in future contest I will host!

I would go for the ones that are most interesting to watch for none grip freaks:

- Hercules Hold

- Farmer walk

- bending

- one hand lift

- one hand deadlift

After all, we all want to make this sport more famous and people just can't relate to closing a gripper, lifting a blob, vbar lift, etc.

Of course, for me personally bending would be first with probably a pinch event like 2HP as 2nd.

I voted for 2" vbar and table top wrist curl. Mainly because nobody had voted for them and I'm a bit of a contrary mary

FBBC Bomb Lifts are great
