Climber028 Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Awesome, never competed with a dynamometer so that's gonna be fun. Don't think I've used a 2 inch handle either so hopefully can pull something big just by training 2.5s for a month. 3 Quote

Vinnie Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Just wanted to chime in about the venue: I thought it was an excellent venue, and it is conducive to the current environment, because it is a big space with high ceilings. I am sure it could safely accommodate more than the 10 we had last year. And Tank ran a great comp. I hope to see many folks there! 1 1 Quote

I wouldn’t have had to ask if you hadn’t held the LBH event to lockout at your own contest a little over a year ago lol 1 Quote
Tank Andrade Posted November 3, 2020 Author Posted November 3, 2020 Heads up, at least to the local competitors. I will be using @Jedd Johnson’s Euro pinch device for my contest. I know most of you have used it before. Mine will be for warm ups only. It is looking like i will not be able to get a training session in for everyone before the comp. 1 Quote

That was for IM records qualifications requirements only.
