Juha, thanks again for running the challenges. I hope you decide to run more after this one ends. I wanted to try a few of the current challenges while everyone was here for the Hands Across the Sea Challenge, but I missed most of the post-contest feating window due to organizing all the attempts and sending to David. I did get the chance to try the hub on Chez's handle and I asked the last few dudes to hang around and chear me on for the 3.5 Silver Bullet. Thanks to Chez, Josh H, and his brotherrrrrr Barrrrrrrrret for being there to support me on it.

You´re welcome Jedd.

Yes, I´ll continue GripMonsters Challenges. How about 2x78kg INCH Farmer´s Walk? Hard to get strong dudes to that. I try to think "interesting" species.

Our next contest will be medley race here in Finland.

You can throw that in. I will definitely try it. Will you be holding a vote for the next round of challenges?

Any ideas for new species?

Not specific ones right now, but I was thinking it might be good to break it up between beginners and experienced, or between light and heavy classes somehow? Right now, a lot of the lists really favor bigger dudes is all. And I think more people could make submissions if some of the tests were lighter. Just an idea.

Good lift bro.

Next time you must lit it from floor or only one padding. So we get "full lift" as a whole. Hope you understand what I mean. :)

I got 18 reps with 80.80 kilos today. My scale is not accurate and I did not use the tare function before putting the weight on so it actually read less than the true weight, but with my spreadsheet that has all my plates and euro at every width I use and a few above calculated down to 3 decimal points, it came out at 80.80 kilos.

I wore my World of Grip thumbweb protectors, like I say in the video. These do not make the lift easier in any way they just prevent skin tears during high volume training sessions, if anything they make the lift harder because the webbing and skin isn't gripping the euro.

I begin a 10 week program working up to the 10 year Euro anniversary competition in May, and as with all my euro training except for max testing, I wear these. If it is not accepted Juha, no hard feelings brother, just trying to have some fun!
