If you can't hold on to 200kg comfortably without straps then you've got a problem with your training imo.


More a case that by the time I get to 13-14 reps my forearms will be on fire and fingers look like I'm crippled with arthritis. LOL

The point I'm trying to make is DL for reps is not really an event to test grip. Farmers clearly is, especially when it is for distance. I think grip will fail guys long before the rest of their body gives out.

No straps, on deadlift... If your grip is fresh for the farmers then people will be going for ages and it gets boring!!!

How far are you expecting people to go?!?!?!?!?!?!

Anyone who keeps going for say a minute, regardless of how far, is going a long time. Many will only manage half that.

The guys that I'm training with are getting around 60m on a 15m circuit (3turns)
It's the turning that causes the problems with grip so if the course is gonna be over 30-50m runs then I'd expect top 5 will be around the 75-90m mark... Not me tho as my grip is terrible lol

I think you might be surprised. In my first competition I did 75m in 75 secs and could have done more time permitting, and at least 4 others got 50m plus.

Agree it's all to do with the turning and at what distance. Hopefully I can beat 30m for a pb

The point Darren is trying to make and he will correct me if I am wrong is, everyone there will have a fairly decent grip or wouldn't get far in strongman comps but if you have torn your hands to shredds on deadlift repping out and I have seen this several times at comps, that you are not going to get going with the farmers. Getting beat on farmers by a guy who has done 20m further than you is fine but getting beat because your hands were torn up, that's not so fun Unhappy
