Kluv#0 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 One of the best indicators of one hand Keypinch talent is Griptopz Half Penny. I know many of you have the Half Penny so let's do it and have fun. Don't talk about it be about it. Weigh afterwards and if not well above 13" height use crossbar and measure. Contest runs from today until September 27th. Both hands, 13" lift, weigh on camera, Chalk only and no bottom of ocean rusted out device. Best of luck. Female and male winner will win prize. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonD Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Luckily, I mean sadly, I don’t have a half penny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ, you would have won again as I can't think of anyone who would do more with both hands on this device that is on the GB. I did invite JB but who knows if he will grace the site:) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome Bloom GRIPCRAFT Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hi all, yes I'd love to participate! My left hand is quite weak so no guarantee of a win! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Bloom GRIPCRAFT Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 One thing I am good at for two hands on this is a double pinch. A bit like a tiny Euro-pinch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to speculate that Michael would win until I saw your name, at which point I would speculate that you would win, except for the two-hands requirement in which case now I don't know where to put my money. I will, however, be very confident in betting that I will not win lol. I don't know whether the lift we did at the Rolling Hands comp in Colorado was this specific coin pinch, but my max was very close to 30 (can't remember if I hit 30 or not). 40 is not in the cards for me! But as Jason says, unfortunately I don't own this implement, so I will just spectate. Good luck, folks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll check back then, maybe I can get one in time? David Horne is the only place to get a half penny, correct? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, almost certain DH is the only seller of authentic half penny. However, I will call Dick’s Sporting Goods to see if they carry it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rental_Shoes_ Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 40 is my PR on right but my left is garbage, maybe 30-31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kluv#0 Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share Posted August 29, 2023 I will change the challenge to best one hand lift. Idea is to be inclusive and spread the love of Keypinching and off hand on any grip item can be problematic. Also, women will get the same prize(s) as the males so give it a go. Moderator can change title to one hand. Thanks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Bloom GRIPCRAFT Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Okay cool! Even on one hand I'm not guaranteed to win because of all the Armwrestling I do but I'll try my best. I think it will be Michael or Arto or Harri ...... Possibly me ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 I will start the challenge - 44.4 LB lifted well above 13" I don't train KP anymore but have been working for 10 seconds KP hold of Wagon Wheel and plate hubbing in which I do lots of finger walks helps immensely in KP. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
