bubba29 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Wraps can be used to brace the wrists. Bracing the wrist adds stability that can help a gripper close or leverage event. Not sure about pinch. Jedd was there though and knows his stuff. I trust him if he says the wraps were not being used like that. The videos are excellent. ok, i could buy wraps helping in leveraging. could you explain how they would help on grippers? I do not know why wraps can help, but they can. Ironmind even states in their cert rules that you are not allowed to brace the wrist with the off hand. http://www.ironmind....les_for_Closing the ironmind rules say nothing about wraps. if they would help close a gripper you would think they would outlaw them.

climber511 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The only place I have found that wrist wraps seem to be a real advantage is with levering (at least to me). Sledges - Weaver Stick etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Some amazing stuff!!! I'm truly amazed at how fast people were able to motor through the medley in 2 min. That's not just grip strength, but grip power and endurance to do all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Let's get this thread back on track with another video. Watch as Mark elix motors through the course in like 30 seconds, strategically getting the points he needs as fast as he can. Here, Dave Whitley, Mike Bruce and Dennis Rogers entertain the Mighty Mitts audience between events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 What Hub was that, that almost nobody could get? What are the dimensions of the mill stone that most didn't even care to try seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Some amazing stuff!!! I'm truly amazed at how fast people were able to motor through the medley in 2 min. That's not just grip strength, but grip power and endurance to do all that. Medleys are the best bro. Entertaining, fun to do, a better test of endurance and ability to use both hands equally. Someone can be good at a couple events but with the variability of a medley the true mastery will be tested. What's up with that hub? I was also surprised about the blobs. Was it the platform height and/or were they mean blobs for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 the hub was an old deep dish york. I think. I seem to recall that richard said that's what they were using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Brent's right - the hub was an old deep dish York. Also the Blobs were on the slick side. The platform was a bit higher than a deadlift, so it incorporated a rowing motion into it, which made it tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks Jedd. I didn't know the deep yorks were that tough. The Ivankos at my gym have a short and tapered hub and was told they were like the deep yorks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbe705 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 if they're like the ivanko's at the gym I go to they're kind of the same idea but, different. the ivankos are flared but, not all the way to the top. the yorks are basically flared the whole way. also, the ribs on the york limit hand placement. I don't think I've even tried to hub an ivanko. I'll try to remember to do that thurs and report back. Thanks Jedd. I didn't know the deep yorks were that tough.

The Ivankos at my gym have a short and tapered hub and was told they were like the deep yorks. This one was pretty tough. I can get mine usually after a few times trying to a full deadlift with the standard grip. We were allowed the dial grip at MM so I went for that. I figured I would get i easy with the dial grip, but my fingertips weren't able to hold on like I needed them to. Hey guys, Part 1 of my write-up is up at the site: http://www.dieselcrew.com/mighty-mitts-2012-contest-write-up Still have tons of videos to upload, but I figured I had better get somethin up for all you crazy grip-opaths.

I got to see the event live my first time.Maybe in the future I compete in the lightweight division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Styles Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I was surprised the blobs and hub stopped so many of the competitors. I thought for sure those were going to be "gimme" lifts. From the number of attempts the competitors took, I think they were surprised too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've got to think after all the other events, the medley is as much an endurance event as anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've got to think after all the other events, the medley is as much an endurance event as anything else. The medley is always like that. After grippers, 2HP and axle it really tests endurance and ability to use both hands. And with the MM events like inch farmers walk and wrist roller (not sure on event order) which are also endurance related, it really tests endurance. It was a small medley though so maybe not?

Mikael Siversson Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 It is still very much a thickbar contest. Hopefully we will see pinch lifting featured as an event in its own right (eg farmers walk with 45's). Thickbar c. 55% Wrist c. 25-30% Pinch c. 11-12% Crush c. 3% Vertical c. 3% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thickbar c. 55% Wrist c. 25-30% Pinch c. 11-12% Crush c. 3% Vertical c. 3% And it is logical that so many thick bars. In the Golden Age of Strong's most competitions were with thick bars, and bending, there was little pinch. This competition is consistent with the spirit of the era. David Horn is actively developing its grip pinch, and competition based on it, and quite a lot in a year - and these events provide thick bar, and they occur once a year, so everything is harmonious.
