the swiss Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 will probably take part in this one, if I can find a way of posting vids till then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdfk20 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 This is an interesting type of competition, the reps you do on your hardest gripper do you have to show the credit each time? Will one rep CCS on the #3 be better than 10 reps CCS on the #2.5? I will await reading up on this on the ironmind site with great interest.

the swiss Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 one rep on a given gripper is better than any number of reps on an easier gripper. yes, credit card should be shown on each rep. I think up to 15 seconds are allowed in between reps to reset the gripper. I am helping a bit with the organization of this comp (I will probably judge if I don't compete). No need to subscribe on or go to the french board mentioned above. Results will be updated on both boards. Basically the comp is: - take the hardest gripper you can close CCSet. Do as many reps on it showing the credit card each rep. max 15 secs between reps. post a vid. of course one could cheat and pretend he can only close number #1 when he can really close #2, but this is really a "test" comp before launching something bigger later on. And the goal, is, as usual, to have fun. so if you can post vids, you only need to subscribe here before April 2008, and you may just win an Ironmind gift certificate. no too complicated or constraining, I think.
