alan_fra Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I'm looking to buy a pinch block for completion but would the 60mm thick one count or do I need the wide 80 mm one? Does Ironmind use the 60 mm one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Ironmind use the 60 mm one The IronMind Block dimensions are 6" x 3" x 6", so about 76.2mm wide. And that's what I've typically seen listed in competitions, such as this year's King Kong Challenge. Hope that helps... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the 60 mm one for now because I think I can train more often and with heavier weight on it. The 80 mm seems too large but I would like to compare scores of Ironmind versus what I get but for now I'll train on the 60mm. My hands are about 20 cm long so maybe the 80 wouldn't be a problem though.Is there a world record also for the 60mm blocks? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the North American Grip Sport top 100, Canada Grip Sport Records, and Arm Lifting USA Leaderboard. They all seem to list the IronMind block. Closest alternative I could find was The Flask which is 2.25" (57.15mm). But that mounts directly to the loading pin rather than using a carabiner, so it's not an exact comparison. Perhaps there are vendor record lists out there or other organizations. I didn't do an exhaustive search...just the main records lists in the United States.
