climber511 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 First of all - nice pinch lift! How might it compare to the Euro - impossible to tell I think. One big difference is the amount of tilt possible with your set up - it does make the lift easier than with a Euro. Friction properties - hard to tell again how they might compare? But then again yours doesn't allow you to fine tune your thickness like a Euro does. I'd guess the plus and minus might make it a wash and you'd lift close to the same on an actual Euro setup that is properly seasoned. No way to tell until you get a chance to try the real thing. Strong Lift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Very nice lift HUGO!!!! I agree with Chris. It's tough to tell, because the differences between your setup and the Euro. That being said, the stronger you get on that setup, the stronger your 2HP will get. My steel pinch block seems to be translating well to Euro 2HP strength and it has helped me with my block weight lifting and hubbing as well. Keep going brother!!!

mobsterone Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 In Gabriel Sum's case there was a 20-kilo difference between his wood block and Euro pinch efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Mike: thanks bro for your words, obviously they means a lot to me. Puller: thanks for sharing my barehand bending)) Steve: I suspect u are right ; the height its different(the wood its closer to my body , so can be some kind of advantage here). Gabriel wood block was easier than mine!lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
