mobsterone Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Just added to the British comp info on other sites. For discussion/improvement as need be: Plate wrist curl Purpose of lift: demonstration and test of wrist strength. Scoring: heaviest plate wrist curled wins. Where the same diameter plate is used then the addition of weight in 1.25-kilo increments decides the winner. A 15 beats a 10 and a 20 beats a 15 regardless of weight added (even above 20-kilos using a 15+5 additional weights. This is because the order of strength required to wrist curl a larger plate is higher than adding even as much as 7.5-kilos over the loaded plate (15+7.5-kilos for example being more than 20) due to the load being further away from the hand. Plates used: starting weight 10-kilos, then 15-kilos then 20-kilos Weight will be added to the plate using a light weight loading pin separated, if required, by a flatter version of an Olympic collar to allow the thumb to get a grip. Execution: The wrist will rest on the edge of a bench. The starting position has the plate in the up position (at about the ’11 o’clock’ position or just short of vertical – more risks the plate falling forward). A referee will signal ‘down’ and the plate must be lowered to the ‘9 o’clock’ position or horizontal. At this point the referee will call ‘up’ and the plate must be curled back up using only the wrist. The competitor MAY lean forward and, if so required slightly to the side of the hand being tested (so as to have the plate curl up and down and not off to the side due to inflexibility of the wrist). The plate CAN go below the horizontal position before being curled back up if the competitor feels comfortable doing so but they may not drop and bounce it back up using momentum. It must be seen to be under control at all times. When the plate as is close to the 11 o’clock position as possible the ref will call ‘Good lift’. The ref will spot from a side on position the better to see clearly the uppermost and lower portions of the lift. If the lifter loses control of the plate they can drop it forward or, if one is provided, get a spotter to take the plate by saying ‘take it’ or some pre-agreed clear signal (‘help me!!’ for example).. The plate is to be curled with the flange uppermost. Fingers will be on the smooth underside and thumb over the flange. The same plate will be used by all the competitors (dimensions to follow) If the competitors have any questions regarding this event they can ask before and on the day PRIOR to the events commencement (no debating of the rules half way through) Both hands are tested. A ‘rising bar’ will be used. 4 attempts are allowed. It is advised that the wrist are well warmed up before hand. Wrist wraps etc are not allowed. Chalk is allowed. Strongman scoring system will be used as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Looks good Steve, well worded. The only thing I might suggest is putting something about the elbow (ie. remaining in contact with the bench or whatever the rule is) but you may have that covered in "curled back up using only the wrist". Out of interest, will the bench be padded or solid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 It seemed like a good idea. I've contacted some more potential sponsors and will put together a 30-second promotional video soon. Plus, as per my begging email, some clips might get used on the documentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
