 9x WSM finalist! Member 662, 3372 posts | if it was me i would be investing in some of those hooka you can get instead of straps! just an idea? less time to strap onto the bar. dunno if they would work on an axle but sure with a hammer they could be adjusted | ||

 When I have enough cash, I get a deep tissue. Member 465, 11029 posts SQ 240, BP 175, DL 302.5717.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | I don't like the idea of an event where placings can come down to who can strap to the bar the quickest tbh. I'm going to practice strapping myself to an axle for reps! | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | So is the defending champion definitely doing this one? | ||

Smallsy - yes, Paul is defending his title. A 275 axle will be tough I reckon Ben! Especially after other grip taxing events, but I could be wrong. For the guys who do need to use straps, the fact it is timed whilst there putting them on is still a bit poor imo | ||

Member 1307, 14110 posts SQ 355, BP 240, DL 370965.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | Ahh all these people ripping me for using straps, I could stick to that axle in 0.5 seconds !!! And I like the idea of deadlift medley with straps If your grips not up to par will take longer!! Robbo I wouldn't say a word it favours you IMO!! | ||
