I want to know how you train for these events and how you know what attempts to take, if you have never done a competition like this before. It’s intriguing to me.
Sherry closed the Trainer, and missed shuting the #1 by a hair. After the GGC I worked with her a little and she shut the #1, strong girl.
damn, you guys are fooking nuts. looks like it was tons of fun.
How is it set up? Is it like a powerlifting meet where you get 3 attempts? How do they choose the weight you do for reps with the rolling thunder? And where can i find a vertical bar??
Man I wish I could go to this. But I’m getting married that day so I don’t think she’d be too happy about it. LOL

With grippers you get a time limit to try and close the hardest gripper you can. On other events you get a number of tries. The wt on the RT this year will be 140lbs. This is the best deal going for a V-bar- www.madssco.com

Most of us have a few grippers we train with. Many of the implements can be improvised- use weight plates smooth side out to train 2 hand pinch. Go buy a couple hammers (6lb and 8lb would be a good start). After a little training you’ll know what kind of attempt to take at the comp.
