Bill Piche Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 Curious. On two lifts... What was different on the TTWC and Two handed pinch compared to the last British Championships? David is down 115 to 93Kg in the pinch. That's 22kg. Quite a lot. Kalle is down 12kg in the pinch. Was it a wider and slicker surface? Was the TTWC done differently as well?

Tom of Iowa2 Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 3 guys over 290lbs. and 3 guys 250Lbs.PLUS....were these guys pro strongmen? Some pretty big boys. Congratulations to Mikae(at a 190?) and David Horne (at about 215) for hanging with-and beating some-'Big Boys'. How exactly does that gripper system work out?Do you close the easier grippers on the way up to your 'maximum' (or toughest gripper?) Or do you just grab the tough one that you think you can close? How does that PDA(520 a. 3.35)compare to a #4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 The Swedish rules differ, or so I beleive, with their 2 second hold rule. That'd make a fair difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ray Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Considering His recent sad loss, i think it shows great strength of character by Dave,to even take part in these championships! Well done Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Ray, That is very kind of you. Thank you, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 As Steve says you have to hold the lifts for a time period and under control with no movement. Strict but fair. Tom, Yes there were 4 or 5 pro strongmen in the contest, they were big, looked strong and were strong. Check them out on the swedish strongman siye. The pinch lift was wider (69mm) and smoother. The Table Top Wrist Curl was 1 handed. I had a trully fantastic time, a welcome break for me. The guys were great strongmen and gentlemen. Benny Wennberg is a very strong man, and he deserved the victory, and I look forward to going against him, and the others again. Benny is also a 300k bencher and 175k log clean and presser. No slouch in the other departments either. I did my best. I have many (hundreds) of trophies and medals. I only have about 4 on show and these are holders for pens and change! But the medal I won in Sweden means something quite special to me and it's pinned on the wall beside my desk. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 DAVID CONGRATS ON HAVING THE B...S TO GO UP AGAINST THE BIG MEN ON THERE OWN TERITORY,LIKE BRIAN AND MATT,KALLE AND ARNY DID AT THE BRITISH GRIP CHAMPS. MIKAEL ONCE AGAIN PROVED THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A BIG MAN TO HAVE A TERRIFIC GRIP I SALUTE YOU ALL FOR HAVING THE DECENCY TO KEEP ON PUTTING ON THESE FANTASTIC GRIP COMPS FOR US ALL TO ATTEND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikael Siversson Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 RT poundages seemed low as well. The RT poundages are low for five reasons; 1) a 2 sec. dead still stop is required at lockout (turned out to be about 1.5 sec. in reality); 2) the handle has to be kept parallel to the torso (not sticking out as a di..) at the starting moment and cannot at any point exceed 45 degrees; 3) the handles must be kept horizontal (a tilt is very common if you have a look in the grip board gallery);4) prior to the RT, we had maxed out in both grippers and pinch; 5) we are all weak.

How does that PDA(520 a. 3.35)compare to a #4? Thanks, Five attempts (five with the righty and five with the lefty) in all events. You can go up or down. If you miss one gripper you can try an easier the next attempt. We are interested in knowing a competitors maximum strength rather than his tactical skills. As we all know #4's differ from one another. If you could just close the PDA 520 you would probably have about 10-11 mm left on my #4. David, Benny and myself closed the 520 rather easily but failed on the fairly hard Elite that David brought (and has closed when in better form). If you could just close the 520, you would have about 3.5-4 mm left on this particular Elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikael Siversson Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I could add that Benny started training with grippers in December 2002. Jarmo looked like he had never seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Dave! It was an honour to compete against David. For those of you who have never competed, it takes some endurance to come up with big lifts after many hours of non-stop competition. We started 12 and finished around 8.30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikael Siversson Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 RT poundages seemed low as well. I was personally extremely impressed with David's RT considering how short his hands are. There would not be many people in the world beating David in a "fairbar" lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Good to see that strict form was enforced. It makes a big difference. Was thumbless grip allowed on the RT lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikael Siversson Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 No, it was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
