jvance Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 can't say i've tested max output for each width but i definitely have a preference for 50-52mm... i just like to go wider and do a variety of different dynamic stuff. my maxes on 52mm are kinda like a report card every couple weeks to see if i'm being productive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikael Siversson Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 That's a very good 1HP. Will be interesting to see how the WR lists will look like after the two major North American grip comps that both will feature the 1HP. The 1HP and the 2HP are quite different beasts for many. Some struggle mightily with one or the other in spite of dedicated training. A real champ should be great at both. bunch of PRs last night at Kody's... not a big deal enough to video just yet but still good easily maxed my 1hp on his apparatus: 99.6 at 198.6 BW for a .50 of BW 1HP... almost a seven pound PR from last month jefferson deadlifted 425 and sumo deadlifted 445... steady new deadlifting PRs for me on my journey to 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there should be a some great ones since these contests have been announced for a while - I'd bet most of the competitors are training the 1HP pretty thoroughly. Hopefully I can get my numbers up into the 105 range and maybe get a spot in the top 10... heck top twenty would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
