Too Tall Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Guys...I am trying to set some new grip goals...and I need your help Yes, I would love to CC set a new #4...but that is not realistic This is what I have been thinking about: * I am trying to go after the MM6 (not to far away...with a little time...I will get it) * Florian and Burk want to see a double Inch FW...I am currently training for it...and the blob/inch FW for more distance than I have done. * I want to give another go at the Grip Gauntlet * Bend a KOAB * I thought about giving a go at the RT WR...ever since the new talk about it I am just trying to go after and make some new goals...I need your help. Thanks, Chad Woodall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Brouse Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Thick bar. Double farmer the Inch (beat Joel Swards record). RT WR. Close the Ironmind Guide for max reps, that would be fun...sort of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filipvk Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Lift a blob with 2 fingers + thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 My 2cts: 1-RT - tough competition - getting this goal will set you apart from the rest 2-MM6 - tough competition, but there arent as many big names doing the grippers (compared to the RT anyhow) 3-Dbl Inch and Inch/blob - You're already doing this, going a little farther wont be much of a goal for you (IMO) 4-Grip gauntlet would be pretty good one 5-Bending is a good one too, but not as recognizable (outside of the gripworld) as the MM6 or RT. Imo, if you've got the handsize and strength to legitimately do an RT WR, I'd do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifesnotfair Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 With your handsize I think you're a good candidate to go for the RT WR !!! What have you done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 2 finger and a thumb on 3 35s? Holding the #3 shut by the last two fingers? Throw the Inch from hand to hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I've always thought an actual Inch clean like Mark Henry's was one of the greatest feats I've ever seen. It's about as realistic as a CCS of a new #4 however(but still achievable!). An MDB lift Pressing the Inch Hard #3 with ring and pinky is an awesome one MM6 cert(I think this is as hard as an old #4) 2 45's with 1 finger and thumb You could also try to beat Ryan on the axle DL! From what I saw at the BBB your not too far behind KOAB RB365 RB400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 2-45's with ONE finger and thumb? Talk about realistic!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Goal #1: Retire from Grip:D You should definetly go after the RT WR, you've got all the tools Lift MDB Clean the Inch Wrist curl the Inch Find a #4 right around 200 and CCS it. You've got the handsize and using 152 as a base on the RGC, that's a real #4. The cert is a crapshoot with everyone getting different grippers. Hammer curl a blob Parallel set a Pro with 1/4" mounting and 2.75" spread (post-seasoned, they shrink on the last couple I bought). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Bro would love to see you close the MM6. Dave has been lonely for too long I think you'd have the RT record in the bag too with some specific training. Inch FW? Hell yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nockowt1 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 1. Pinch 2 45s in each hand at the same time 2. Close a #3 in each hand at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 1. Pinch 2 45s in each hand at the same time2. Close a #3 in each hand at the same time I have done these in the past...good suggestion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hit the world record in all the major Euro lifts- Pinch, Vbar, Grippers, reverse bending, maybe one hand dead. You'll have a nice moving target there, and if you can hold the record in all of those at the same time, you'd be more of a certified grip superstud than you are now, a "cement your place as the best by a mile" kind of thing. Also, to beat David Horne would be a good one, on his home turf if you can afford it. I was pissed that David missed the GGC, and after seeing you in action I can't imagine you being beat.

The Mac Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I kind of agree with Bob, being the best is probably more of a challenge than simply hitting certain feats as being the best is a moving targets, it's got to be more interesting training to improve foever rather than hitting a certain feat. Especially as you know the quality of the guys who will be chasing you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGrip Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Do you not care about DU and reverse bending? You have pretty much done it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbrown Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Your goal should be to get back to Salt Lake for some more Armwrestling Training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule92 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 3-45s hahaha jk that's insanely unrealistic but it WOULD be amazing. Nah I agree with some of the previous posts. It's be amazing to go after MM6, clean the inch, lift the MDB, CCS a #4, RT world record, etc. Have you ever tried wrist curling a blob (how unrealistic would that be out of curiousity)? If you could accomplish even one of those feats it would be ridiculous not to mention more than one. It would also be AMAZING if you could pull off some WRs in Euro lifts as Bob mentioned. There's LIMITLESS goals you could go after at this point and these are just a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerHouse Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Reverse curl the blob by the face MM6 Completing Sorin's Grip gauntlet would be amazing MDB 250+ 2HP Beating the 1HP record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Hit the world record in all the major Euro lifts- Pinch, Vbar, Grippers, reverse bending, maybe one hand dead. Well, I had the 2hp WR once, and the vbar WR once, and I think still the euro gripper record(not sure...only thing is that I am American). The reverse bending would be cool and the OHL would be cool too. I would love to compete against David H. one day...he is a a very tuff competitor...maybe that will happen someday. All great suggestions Bob Edited October 23, 2007 by Too Tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Chad, you could try placing second for a change. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I think the KOAB would be a breeze for you with a few months of solid bending training. The 5/16 x 7" grade 8 could fall for you within 6 months.
