Paul Knight Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Count me in Luke, you'll finally get to see what you can really pinch on the Euro. Adam, have you seasoned up your Euro pretty good yet? Quote Gripcerts Paul Knight YouTube
AdamTGlass Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 I am looking forward to having you two gentlemen out!! Paul No, and please share some advice on how to legally do that. Right now it is not taking chalk yet and the rim is SHARP. I have pinched on it three days so far, cut my thumb web day 1 and openned it back up again both days...not so good for me. I am still working to figure out what my personal pinch width should be. Honestly after pulling on it this week I feel absolutely humbled by those of you who are pulling over 100kg...man that is strong Quote MM4. COC. Hexbastard in every way. Red Nail Roster.
climber511 Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Adam - you are allowed to round the edges on your Euro - not doing so meant cutting myself constantly and then losing training time until it healed. There was a discussion a while back and David Horne said rounding was permitted - I took the angle grinder to mine and never looked back - I can now actually train it enough to get a real workout in for progress. I really made little progress until I started using a notebook and trying all kinds of widths - hand spacings, twists, levering etc etc. Try different widths - what "feels" good may not actually allow the most weight to be lifted - take good notes - it made all the difference for me. Seasoning - there are several things you can do to accelerate the process but I don't know what people think of them as far as "legal".

Cannon Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Chris, could you post a high-res photo of the edge of your disc? That might give the best guidance on what the rounded edge should look like. Quote
