Thanks Chris. I can't imagine the sledges will hurt more than these iso hits, but I've been wrong before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Mike,I would work some dead stop stuff in and get a feel. This is the worst pain I have ever felt training for a contest (not counting injuries). My wrists have felt pretty healthy except when doing this event. The pain I feel on this far out-weighs what I would ever feel doing wrist roller sled drag. Can't imagine it's worse than the pain I felt hitting that 5/16 "-1 drill rod over and over DU, but I'll have to take your word as I have no way to train it other than DU and reverse bending. It isn't even wrist pain, it's something in my thumb. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 I just visited Chris Riders Blog and watched him do a 15# hammer with a 39" handle and made it look real easy - I'd love to see what he could do on our event - strong guy!

barbe705 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 how is the wrist roller lift attached? is it drilled through. I keep meaning to check it out and make one and I never remember to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 how is the wrist roller lift attached? is it drilled through. I keep meaning to check it out and make one and I never remember to. Brent - I welded two washers to the pipe that keep the cable centered - one of them had a hole drilled in it and a steel cable through it with a swedged end on it. That way it rolls smoothly when placed on a bar set in a power rack (nothing sticks out inside the pipe) - which is the way I usually use it. In the Medley it will be a free standing DL like before though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 39" hammer would have made it seem just shy of a 19 lb hammer on a 31" handle, plus made it really awkward I would guess. Chris is definitely a strong guy. Not sure how much specific grip work he does though. From our correspondence he seems to focus solely on the feats of strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Chris, Any idea of the weights you will be using on the loading Pin lifts, such as the Tips Tester and the Wrist Roller Lift? Thanks, Jedd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Chris, Any idea of the weights you will be using on the loading Pin lifts, such as the Tips Tester and the Wrist Roller Lift? Thanks, Jedd Last year the I think the tips tester and Napalms Nightmare were on the same pin at 285# - and the Wrist Roller lift was 160# - I imagine that for the Elite class - I will add 50 or 60# on all three for you guys this year .................................................... just kidding but I think they will be just a few pounds heavier than before as everyone got all three items without problems it seemed. I want to add just a little bit to all items for each class - something like Open class is base - lightweights are say -5% and Elite are plus 5% - or something like that depending on the lift of course - many things are fixed weight of course and can't be changed. I will be asking you and some others to bring a couple items for the medley if you will. Things like your huge Blob - Inch DBs - Grippers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 any idea on the weight for the reeves lift? is the strap hold lift the gripper/strap lift? sledge coin lift will be 8#? what is the 2 3/8 long bar lift? is that a fatter axle?

If the Reeves lift makes it in it will 305# - I don't think it will be included at this point Strap Hold is the normal squeeze the gripper with the strap in the handles and and load the small weight on the strap to the bench Sledge with coin is an 8# Yes Brent it's just a 2 3/8" Axle for a two hand lift instead of a dumbbell. It's the same one we've done the last few years with the bumpers on it. This is 2009 I think and shows pretty much what this year will look like with a few changes maybe Edited November 1, 2011 by climber511 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 ah yes, the axle I can't sumo on because it's slightly too narrow. I was thinking that was 3". and the way it was written I thought maybe you had a new test lift of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 how will we run the medley with the frame there? it'll be more crowded than usual. It will have to be taken apart and outside then put together again. But it only takes a few minutes to put it back together no more than has to come apart. If it is a real nice day - maybe have it outside but I doubt that will happen. I have to set it up for the longest arm span (Andrew I figure) then I have short loops to change it for shorter spans.

Bob Lipinski Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 The judging and setup will go a long way to determine how much weight will be lifted. I don't think 60 is out of the question. One handed doesn't really tell the whole story, just like DB bench won't tell you exactly how much somebody does with a barbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
