barbe705 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 do you know what brand of hub the 45# will be? also, for the medley. are we able to try both the heavier and lighter versions or do we pick one and that's that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodyburns Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Which direction will the wrist roller event be ? Knuckles coming towards or going away ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I like the medley format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andurniat Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Rolling thunder will be the new model. not out of the package new, but the new model. Both 45 and 35 hubs will be Hampton's as listed. Wrist roller will be knuckles coming towards you For the medley, you can attempt either item as many times as you wish. Only the highest scoring item is recorded within the 60sec. time limit. Example: If you lift the 35# hub(0.5 points) and then choose to go for the 45 hub (1.0) and are successful you get a score of (1.0 point). There will be no additional points awarded for the lighter item in the above example. Likewise, you can attempt the heavier and fail and then successfully lift the lighter and be rewarded with (0.5 points). You can go in any order you wish and can go back to missed/skipped items as long as it falls within the 60 second time limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Thank you. This is exactly how I hoped the medley would be run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Will the wrist roller be the exact same one that was used in 2013? I had trouble maintaining my grip (as did a few others). If it is the same, can anyone provide suggestions for ensuring a good grip? Lots of chalk? A little chalk? No chalk? I regret not having tested the apparatus before it was go-time.

Jedd Johnson Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This Medley is going to be AWESOME. Best format I can think of, in my opinion. Thank you, Andrew for innovating this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Here's a video of the 2013 Wrist Roller in case anyone wants to see it. Eric, I watched your attempt on the highlight video to see if I could see something technique wise. The only thing that jumped out at me was that you started out really narrow. The other guys who motored through it were a few inches wider. It also looked like your elbows were flared out big time, throughout the attempt. I'm just guessing, but it would seem like that would burn out your rotator cuffs and delts too quickly. Tucking the elbows more, like Brent does immediately after you would keep the movement more efficient, because your lats would be doing more of the work, proportionally speaking. Just my opinion. Everythings got a technique to it. As far as chalk, I don't think I used much. For plastic, like the wrist roller and RT, you don't want a lot of chalk.

climber511 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Medley is after the wrist roller - this will be fun . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andurniat Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Medley is after the wrist roller - this will be fun . Historically, medley's have done little to the overall standings. I wish to find the strongest and longest lasting grip, while keeping the scoring tight to the end. Wrist roller points scale will be very similar to the medley, still ironing it out.

Eric Roussin Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks for the tips, Jedd. I really appreciate them. I'll try different techniques in my wrist-roller training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broly Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Really trying to attend this year, that video of the wrist roller got me so freaking pumped! I think having the Medley the way it is will be great to compete in and watch. It's definitely the most entertaining. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodyburns Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Andrew, do you know the average time frame were looking at for the wrist roller event ? Hoping its not under 10 seconds again. Id love to see it more endurance and strength based rather than speed this time. Thanks !
