Not so much as forgotten as can't remember Member 894, 4924 posts SQ 245, BP 167.5, DL 272.5685.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Robbo said:All this talk of it being a grip dominant comp (which is totally understandable) kind of puts a taint on this comp for me. And I said the most grip dominant comp I've seen If I'm wrong then I accept but if I could one day do this comp then I would consider myself a complete strongman | ||

Are they fat handled? http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150204330670599.461... They are similar dimentions to the giant ones used at wsm last year! The handles are same as a regular bar | ||

Member 1307, 14110 posts SQ 355, BP 240, DL 370965.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | Keg toss Dumbell Maxle Stones Tyre Barrel fingers medley Deadlift medley (straps) There's 7 events that have hardly any grip work in them! How is it a grip dominant comp?? It's well laid out IMO Arm over arm - forearms pumped to death 2 events later farmers ! That's enough to recover... If it's not.. TRAIN TO | ||

Member 1307, 14110 posts SQ 355, BP 240, DL 370965.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq | If you doh the axle then yes but most will cup the bar overunder up to the belly then swap doh to clean to chest! Which will not be grip taxin at all ! I did 12 reps on a 200kg axle cupped grip and my hands are the size of a small racoon ! | ||

TRAIN TO 1stly, if you want to win the deadlift medley, you wont be using straps! Maxle (which a lot of guys DOH to the belly) is definitely taxing on grip Arm-arm (with very thich rope) is VERY grip heavy Farmers (slightly thicker handle, if they are the 2009 farmers...which I suspect they are?) at 150 is very grip heavy The comp is what it is, I think for people I speak to , the main problem is the guy who selected the events has the best grip in the country (at 105) and is one of the best movers in a comp with only one or two (of 9) static events **This is not me 'moaning'...I am expressing an opinion.
