moser1972 Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Münsterland Grip Challenge (MGC) 4 Because I received a lot of PMs and eMails in the last weeks with questions about the upcoming MGC in 2008, I want to give out early enough the events so that you can prepare yourself properly. Here is the first information: Venue: Ennigerloh, 59320 (Germany) Date: TBD - (I plan it for May/June 2008) Events: • Grippers both hands- 4 attempts • 2 hand pinch (Euro setup) - 4 attempts • LGC V-bar L/R - 4 attempts • Apollon’s Axle - 2 or 3 attempts • Loading (most of them are wrist tests!!!) - 2 attempts I don’t want to make it too long for all of us. Last time it was so long that we've had no time for some food in a restaurant and / or a nice drink all together. All was closed We will use the calibrated plates we already used for the last MGC. I hope that Martin and Arne are again so kind that I can use the calibrated Euro grippers for the MGC 4. A detailed list with calibrated devices and plates will be uploaded prior to the contest in 2008. Pls keep in mind that the latest sign in is March, 14 - 2008! I need that time to arrange a huge event. Sign in here, send me a PM or drop me a mail. Thanks Take care, Thorsten Quote
wscorpion Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Sounds great! First I'll start training something else then bending, then if I'm stronger then I am now in the different events (which I definitely expect ), I'm probably going to enter, hopefully Theo B. is coming as well, but he's not certain yet....

Martin_Arildsson Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 2"/50mm vbar instead of regular vbar would be great! I hope I can make it to this one! Quote Dat dere YouTube
moser1972 Posted October 14, 2007 Author Posted October 14, 2007 2"/50mm vbar instead of regular vbar would be great! I hope I can make it to this one! Same here - hope also u can make it! To the 2" vbar --> when no one disagrees on that; why not.....time enough to discuss this. Quote
wscorpion Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 The apollon's axe, what is it exactly? And I don't really understand how a loading event could be a wrist event, could you explain? Tx Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."
DuTCH Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 For example the stacker from IM.. Quote I got a sixth sense that tells me you ain't worth six cents Rise and Fall
wscorpion Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 For example the stacker from IM.. OK, so plate curls should be good as a training for it I guess? Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."

OK, so plate curls should be good as a training for it I guess? Yes, that is a superb way to prepare your wrists for this event! Cheers //T Edited November 12, 2007 by moser1972 Quote

If there won't then that thick bar stuff will really be a pain for me to set a decent score. And having 2 out of 5 thickbar event's will be a bit too much IMO I understood the fact that the appollo is a thickbar, but what to do with it on the contest? - Full deadlift - one hand deadlift - push press - deadlift lockout and how about a bending event? Thanks! Edited November 12, 2007 by White Scorpion Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."
moser1972 Posted November 12, 2007 Author Posted November 12, 2007 Hoi Mark Lot of questions Let me try to clarify stg: 2 Hand size groups I have no problem with 2 groups for scoring; but that will depend on how many people sign in! In general - yes, we can do it. Axle: Full deadlift in the axle lift. 2 Fat Bar events C'mooon; 2" Vbar (isnt 100% sure at this time) isnt a fat bar event Bending Bending will be addressed in the Wrist event. (Reverse Bending) Cheers //T// Quote

As it looks now I'm coming anyway, but it would be nice as well to have a chance to get a decent position Edited November 12, 2007 by White Scorpion Quote Mark Vogels -------------------- "Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right."

Niels Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 I´m not sure if I compete but I would prefer the regular v-bar... Quote
marcob Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I´m not sure if I compete but I would prefer the regular v-bar... I like to see what the 2'' V Bar gives, because there are no records to break, so everyone has a chance for a WR or an ER. What are the things to do whit the loading event Quote marcob 400kg tireflip 15000kg truckpull 8,54m 10kg stonethrow 1/2 marathon nicknames in Holland: Rocky,Popeye Belgium: Ratman Goals: getting well and improve myself

moser1972 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Posted December 17, 2007 No vbar would be better IMO. Flo, The discussion was not VBar yes or VBar no - it was VBar 1" or VBar 2" Best wishes Thorsten Quote
