ewokhugo Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 i am curious to know if its allowed to perform more than one rep to become mashmoster level 1 and so on. I remember Luke doing 2 reps with his #3 to get the m0 cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 That will have been on his own gripper. I think the rules say you cannot do reps, as opposed to one of the three attempts you're allowed. I also got told off for putting up a video of me repping the MM1 on youtube.

Cannon Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Yes, multiple reps are allowed. Mob, not sure why you got in trouble for posting the vid. Here it is from the rules: 3. The gripping hand or arm cannot be touched in any way after the set of the gripper. No holding of the gripper spring after the close is started. ONLY 3 attempts are allowed and must ALL be performed within 15 minutes of the first attempt. It is considered an attempt when the gripper is set and an attempt to close is made. If the hand does not come off the gripper and the other hand is not used to reset the gripper it only counts as one attempt. If the candidate is strong enough to rep it, more power to them! However, "screwing around" with the cert gripper outside of the normal 3 attempts will invalidate the certification. I think Wes did something like 6 or 7 reps with the MM1. Jad also has a video in his profile of repping the MM1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeamdman Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ben repped the MM2 for a couple reps as well. I think a few reps won't hurt, but it certainly won't help in any way. I think it's better to play it safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewokhugo Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Sam and Steve are in good condition to do a bunch of reps! Mike aka "Autolupus" should be a Lawyer, he's always impecable ("making things work perfect"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=28223 I believe it's pretty clear that, during the cert attempt, if you can rep the gripper you are more than welcome. However, you shouldn't perform a strap hold, calibrate the gripper, let the witness have a go, etc. I'm just spit-balling those examples, but I think it's pretty clear what is meant by screwing around. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Yeah, reps are fine, as long as it's during one of the three attempts. I doubled the MM2 on one of those attempts. Possibly my last attempt, but I don't remember now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 hi ben! time to crush mm3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Your best bet. Do the attempts and leave it at that. Ever see Dave Morton "do a couple reps" on his cert videos? If my memory serves me right, no. And, look where he sits on the pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Mobster you should have grinded the shit outa it till there was no knurling left Only kidding Bill I think a good overcrush shows that the said gripper has been dominated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory serves me right, no. And, look where he sits on the pyramid. Dave did a double with the MM4 . But I agree with Bill. 3 closes and that should be it for the cert attempts After my wrist slapping I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
