Andy Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Hi David, I'll be there, and hopefully will bring a few lads (and possibly a lass as well) from the gym here. We're all strictly amateur/novice, of course. Pardon my ignorance, but what does a Dinnie Lift involve? 'Cos I Dinnie know. (Sorry!)

OldGuy Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 First prize will be ten bobs worth of luncheon vouchers, and a small signed pic of Darth Vader (Dave Prowse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 Luncheon vouchers! Pah, nothing that impressive, just a trophy for the top 3. If you want prizes Steve, get your arse over to Rick's contest in the U.S.! Andy, Good to hear that a few of you will be travelling. The Dinnie Lift is named after Donald Dinnie and the stones he lifted. Anyway, we are lifting weights with a ring. Full details of this is in the next issue of Iron Grip. Though I can email the rules to whoever wants them. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 I wish I could dave but... I have 2 possibly three seminars lined up in conjunction with the Kettlebell mob and one more later in the year with Mick Hart's gang. The kettlebell stuff pays money (hopefully around £150.00 for an afternoon). I have had an inquiry, through my whey site, for (get this) 200-300 tonnes a month which as you can imagine could possibly mean a lot of work for a very nice return. However, I WILL be competing in the Iron Grip comp - 100% I've emailed you asking for spec on the equipment and the minutae on the rules (tilting me - with my reputation!).

jimwylie1 Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Don't think your tilting method will work very well on a 6' bar steve. I don't think that Dave is planning to use a loadable dumbbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Lets see!!! We have the raining British grip Champ(mr.david Horne). The Viking(Swedens Finist)are coming to plunder and pillage the British Grip Scene. The crafty cockney Thick Bar Daddy himself Steve Gardener. The UK Blob King and V-Bar Champ Jim Wylie. The Australian Champ and one they all fear Nick mckinless. Should be a good scrap And i will be there to catch it all on video,witch of coarse will end up on your favourite gripboard,Can,t wait!!

Andy Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 David, I have a query about the Tiemann dynamometer that we'll be using in the Irongrip Championships. From the pictures in Irongrip Magazine it looks like the handle is shaped a bit like two CoC grippers end to end - ie springs outwards. Can you get hold of it like you can a gripper, or is it more of a fingertip grip? And do they move much? I know, I know, it depends how hard you squeeze them but some dynamometers barely move no matter what the pressure, while others do close to a certain extent. Thanks, Andy Christie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Andy, There is hardly any movement, and so barely any setting. It seems to be on the fingertips quite a bit. So if your going to train with the CoC grippers in the position then use tough ones. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Explosive squeeze or slow and steady like on Baraban grip dyno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimwylie1 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Steve If you get those numbers you will win the competition!! This looks like a good comp for you. A weaver of 23lbs is unbelievable. It's a pity this lift isn't done by more people on the board, it would be good to see if anyone could take your title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I would like to see a pic of the Weaver stick used in competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
