left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | robocop said: who else has or can beat tearing both knee caps off in comp!! mike is in that elusively elite club i'm afraid bodypower 2009, weightlifting expo. sure, the technique is the key here, but thats given i think. The comp organisers can still think their events through with the idea in mind to minimise injuries, and not just leave it to the athletes. 2 out of 10 competetors tore their biceps at the UKSC englands comp, thats 20% success rate. Hope the comp organisers at least think about if that could have been prevented simply by choosing the event equipment more wisely (the crowd would have still loved it all the same and the strongest would have won) | ||

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Its both fault on the competitor and organiser side, but from the organiser's side of things they could at least have a tyre with of a bit of tread I suppose. And of course, bad f**king luck. | ||

It's a speed and technique event for me. At a national comps you should expect all guys to be able to complete the course. Also I agree that grip has a factor. But so does technique, as in the positioning of the arms. I've seen some poor technique in my time but then I've not witnessed many tears. Are the tyres to heavy. Also the fact that athletes are no taking more "meds" does play a part. The tendons become dry and britel, hence the tears are always full tears. That is just my opinion mind, with a bit of fact. the tyre was 600 kg and i heared 2 flips won. id love to see your speed n technique there? | ||

a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq | stainless said:Not to imply that it is for a second the only reason but i think that anyone who has less than 100% R.O.M at the elbow joint is an accident waiting to happen.I see an awful lot of guys whose arms at rest are 10 degrees plus off of full extension,further to this when they train arms they don't fully extend,this means that you have a big strong bicep used to handling loads for 95% of it's range.The tyre flip in particular at the beginning of the pull puts the bicep load straight onto it's weakest range. If arms can be held straight at the start then the drive to start the lift comes from the legs then the hips.But with tight biceps the first thing that happens is the biceps are screaming as they get forced into full extension before the legs and hips can even initiate movement. There was a thread a while back about whether or not to do direct bicep work.I think that if you have full 100% ROM then you don't need to but if you don't then you must work to make your biceps full and long to avoid injuries. spot on statement Steven | ||

Worlds Strongest Man u90kg Member 1137, 2099 posts SQ 285, BP 170, DL 312.5767.5 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | a weight that big you have to attack, you can't just rely on strength to lift it. always going to use a bit of biceps, can't be helped. as wayne said if anybody was going to lift a weight without using his biceps its a weightlifter. | ||
