Roark Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Some serious forecasts for what will happen next year: 1. Wannagrip will deadlift the Inch with either hand 2. Heath will foreclose on his #4 close 3. David Horne and Mobster will each one hand deadlift an MB 4. The grip board will continue its status as the default reference for serious hand strength discussion. 5. Someone will manufacture a dumbell handle with round grip handle but with square ends for holding square- holed plates- for training non rotating Inch deadlifts. 6. The kaleidocope quality of unregulated gripper strength consistency will continue- hence no way of meaningful comparison between gripper and gripper of the same designation. 7. Someone will deadlift an Inch 172 in each hand at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Love the dumbbell handle idea - PDA/et al take note. Here's a few more (some hopeful some realistic). 1. Randall Strossen will finally sponsor the grippage. 2. A new gripper maker will emerge. 3. The MDB will get to shoulder height. 4. There will be 300 lifted on a Rolling Thunder. 5. The second man to shut a Number 4 will fess up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 Mobster, The MB to shoulder height as in high pull or as in cleaned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Joe Another good idea on the sqaure plates and b/bell ends,i might use that thanks! I think someone will deadlift and walk with 2 inch replicas. Some else will put the inch overhead single handed. The blob will be lifted with even more weight attached. someone will lift a blob in each hand. Joe Kinney will close the world class bbe. Someone will stun Richard with the ease at which they do his gauntlet david maybe dethroned . Terminator will tie a knot in the ironmind red . Ury gellar will bend one of tom blacks cresent wrenches with just his mind . Scott essery will be welcomed back with open arms . Mobster and Oldguy will let it lie . I will try to be a bett individual . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griparn Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 My prediction is that at least one of the Holle brothers will close the #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apdwler Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 5. Someone will manufacture a dumbell handle with round grip handle but with square ends for holding square- holed plates- for training non rotating Inch deadlifts. I think a tight fitting box would do the same thing. Only a lot cheaper. I'll bet there will be a batch of easy threes released! I'll bet there will be a batch of hard threes released! I'll bet there will be a bunch of threes in the middle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Heath will close #4 for reps. Tom will close #4. Two Holles will close #4. Tom Black will close #3 for reps as will many many others. Mark Henry will do two Inches clean and press at the same time. That would be a nice pic for the books! Should do MDB also! I will break a horseshoe, clean and press 150lb dumbbell with 2 and 1/2 handle, scroll a 5/8 bar HRS. Oh yea that #3 THING. I better stop writing and get to work. MOB, OLD and Scott will have a family hug! "Can't we all just get along" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan McMillan Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I hope to pinch 2x45 plates sometime in the new year! I'll be plate curling between a 35 plate and a 45 plate Hope to hit a wrist plate curl with a 35 plate in the new year. U the yellow nail, and shut the #2 sometime next year.

ChrisJames Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 David Horne will deadlift the Millenium Dumbell Nathan Holle will shut the No 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Sybersnott will become incredibly humble, and his fellow gripmasters will recognize and admire his amazing talent.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roark Posted December 24, 2002 Author Share Posted December 24, 2002 Well, so far the prediction that is least likely involves Sir Snott and humility, which we all know will immediately follow the Mini Me MB deadlift. Whoever closes the next 4 will be under more scrutiny than a centerfold beheld by a fourteen year old boy. It will be the feat meeting the most resistance from onlookers because it remains so mysterious, with no real levels of comparisons. I do not think anyone with a hand length under 7.5" will deadlift the MB in 2003, or maybe ever! For the Inch, my guess would be under 7".

bseedot Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Sometimes when you make a goal public it gives you a heightened desire to achieve it. So... I'd like to farmer's walk with a pair of Blobs in 2003. I currently can pinch a 45 about 8" off the ground with my right and only a couple of inches with my left. The 45 and the 50 are the same diameter across so my hand size should be fine. BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
