Bob Lipinski Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 This is what I will likely bring in the 3+ range. I don't know if I will feel like calibrating anything beyond that. Also, most of these are tested for percieved difficulty pretty well. Did a few of them multiple times as well. HG300-140 (tough one from MI comp) Narrow Elite- 148.25 (also from MI comp) Beast- 150 (might use one of my #3's instead) Cert #3- 155 PDA 190- 159 Narrow SE- 162.5 (Jedd missed this at MI, Josh+Jedd got slighter easier RB300N) "Easy" Elite- 165 Brent Barbe Elite- 167.5 "Old Black"- 172.5 Silver Elite- 180 (and 3.25+ spread) I only have a couple grippers that might fill in gaps. My 3.5 should be in the 180 range. Some 2 pound jumps in there, but I am pretty sure about the difficulty of thos grippers. I have 3-4 more plates to calibrate, right now I think I am 11 ounces heavy or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teemu I Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Your cert #3 is pretty much equal to mine. With that spread, the Silver Elite must be tough. Would be nice to try that. My FBBC HARD was 179 lbs with a similar spread. Despite that we use metric system here, I've noticed that I've used to the idea of using pounds when we talk about calibrated grippers. I immediately get a rough idea of the gripper when I hear the RGC-poundage. Edited July 17, 2008 by Teemu I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 It's nice to see that the elite I had came in high. I just assumed I was weak. Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a BBSE hit 204 recently. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I just got that Elite in January of 08 from weightlifters warehouse. I think the real problem I have with grippers is that for a long time I didn't set them deep at all. As a result I suck at setting a gripper. I was able to get it clamped but, without the clamp I wasn't close at all. Brent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Your cert #3 is pretty much equal to mine. Teemu, you bring up a point I had been wondering about. You certified under the "newest rules", the Brand New Gripper Rules, correct? You got to keep your gripper? If so, pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is cool, certainly a nice gripper to have. Edited July 22, 2008 by Teemu I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
