DeucesRwild Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Well I helped put my present under the tree, I’m excited to try it in a couple weeks. Curious how long it will take to lift it. 50 year old non physical job no real grip training but do a little regular lifting here and there lol 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksinaPinch Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Is that an 82 kg Holle bell? There is a competition in Cheyenne on March 9 you should consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell us more about this thing! Yeah...I'd like some specifics for my Christmas List to Santa. Who made it? What's the finish/feel, dimensions, etc? And where can I get one? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeucesRwild Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 Yes new Christmas present wife did the leg work so idk, and 180 on scale surprised me but I like it she won’t let me play with it until Christmas 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way she'd track down an Inch replica to roll under the tree for Christmas... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I love here is we grip nerds do not recognize the bell, they are very hard to find/get, only a few companies are known to have ever made them, and your wife was just like “I got this.” *slow clap* Bravo 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it came painted. That’s where I got mine about 2 years ago. No markings or paint. But I prefer mine unpainted. now I wanna weigh mine. Pretty cool you got one that’s 180lbs. A little extra work is going to be put in to lift it but so what. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeucesRwild Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Ya I’m painting it just so it don’t rust but hopefully it won’t make it slick lol after my workout I played around with junk in my gym I’ve probably got a lot of work to do before I lift it Edited December 7, 2023 by DeucesRwild 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just show up and give it a go. Last year at that comp 15 out of 20 people were first timers and most had never touched any of the implements. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I doubt if she comes close to the long-suffering wife of Chris Rice. How many times did they host “Gripmas”? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
