Franky lost the competition on the last event (in was just slightly in the lead before that). Totally trashed the rest of us on the climber curl like apparatus, and set a new German pinch record (calibrated plates, yes!). Tja (Joonas) has little training behind him, and some good potential, very nice guy also! I made a huge 15kg PR in the pinch (those who have seen me at the euros will remember my impressive 67kg !! ), I think I had a little more in me, but my skin did not agree. The Fondue and night at the bar after that was quite memorable (except for Franky, who remembers nothing ), lots of drink, some stupid armwrestling, good fun. Franky's right arm this morning did not move and had a huge haematoma, pretty scary!! One of the best editions IMO Many many thanks again to Ironmind and Heavy grip tools for sponsoring the comp, and to Gazza for providing some world class bends for the trophies (people where amazed).

Hey David, if you can pinch it to a full deadlift with one hand, I will give you a 30kg block for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Congrats to everyone - I can't believe that something I made in my garage was an event in a grip contest in Europe! It really is a small world isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Very nice lifting, men! Franky, congrats on that new German record and the win! What country is Andre from? I've updated the top 50 pinch list and wish to name his home country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpster Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Congrats to everyone - I can't believe that something I made in my garage was an event in a grip contest in Europe! It really is a small world isn't it? What exactly is this thing? The "Climber Curl" I assume is what you made. Description or pic would do nicely. Sounds like a good comp other than that arm injury.

The original is much better made!! But mine did the job. I don't know how close it is to the original in terms of difficulty, Franky can probably enlighten us. Eric, André is Swiss.

FrankyBoy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Well, an interesting day (and night) to say at least. Whats wrong if you wake up the morning and can't move your arm at all which looks like this Bruised ??? I have zero memory of the after comp party but was told that it was pretty funny. I asked my girl why I can't use my arm anymore. She: "Oh that? You did several hours of arm-wrestling". Even with my lefty which I broke the last time I tried that kind of stuff, nice ... To the comp: Actually my plan for the comp was smart enough and could have done the trick (focussing on wrist curling). But the Farmers killed me (again). To less overall body strength. I'm happy with the 92.5kg pinch. I saw several great guys again (like Erik and Raphael) and met some new ones (like tja, a super nice guy). Most impressive feat for me was David closing the #3 with a CC set with absolute ease lefty and righty in the first event. Thanks for the great dinner and all the alcohol David ...

Good job, Franky! Very nice Pinch And of course big congrats to David for another win of the swiss grip comp Sometimes my arm looks similar after armwrestling competitions.

tja Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thanks David for hosting a wonderful day! I really enjoyed my first competition. Events were great, especially the medley with a big variety of different lifts. Ever thought about a dung fork curl? I was very happy about getting the #2 with CCS righty. Also positives were the thick thumbless lockouts, medley, climber curl, farmers walk. Evidently, I'll need to work on my thickbar strenght as well as 2HP. It was great to meet the new guys, especially Frank and David. They were both crazy strong and very nice! Congrats on all the PR's! Also performance of Andre in 2HP and thick bar lifts was impressive. I was happy to get my friend Samuel convinced to take part. I think he's got potential, he never did any grip training and got to a few mms from closing the #1.5 righty. He also beat me in the one-hand-axle. Too bad I had to take off right after the comp. Sounds like you had great time afterwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the swiss Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 In my experience, during competitions, few people help loading/deloading the implements, probably saving their energy for the events. Tja, and Franky were always there to help me out. Great guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we don't tell a lot of time ( my english is enough bad ), it was a pleasure to meet Frank & Joonas Frank you're the 2H pinch master, very impressive! I finished just after Joonas ; David, Frank & André were too strong. I hope I'll be able to compet last year. I'm a newb in grip/pinch but thanks to these comp, i'm interested to grip & pinch and i go on it at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
