Any new contests coming up???

[thewickedtruth]

you guys do realize that if we do a 315 for reps..i'll take 30 or more to win it right?

i would suggest another 500 for reps challenge..but then again i did pull two sets of 12 with it a few weeks ago.. and that's just not fair.

You did 500x12?! Major improvement bro!

Here's my suggestion:

Rep contest with 445-500 lbs.

Belt allowed.

But here's the fun part - NO STRAPS this time. What's your thought on that?

It will be a bit of a test of the grip strength as well.

I dont think anyone needed the straps but there are some people who will and that would discourage them from entering.

LOL i would need the straps for sure i got pussy hand strength man but i like the idea i may be able to squeeze out one rep...LOL i know im a puss either way im in i actually always dead over/over so maybe i could do decent with an over/under grip.

its where you grip the bar over hand, with your index finger over laping your thumb. The weight pushing down on your thumb and you pulling up putting stress back on the thumb from your index finger creates an anatomical "strap" if you will. The only bad thing is ive seen guys pull their thumb nails out, but if over/under is not for you this may be.

I use the thumb lock when doing the olympic lifts, but I'm still impressed when I see Podtynny thumb locking when he pulls 881 lbs. That's some crazy shit.

I agree, lets just have a competition.

And squat is fine with me, although I'd preferred another deadlift competition.

I have no problem with people using the monolift or even if there's a suited competition, if someone wants to use canvas or multiply suits and extra long wraps.

Just as long as the squat is USPF/USAPL/IPF depth.

That's the only thing I wish for, real solid squat depth.

Like Kazmaier:

just remember it is crease of the hip below the top of the knee, not the bullshit interpretation you see now a days from those assclowns

Definitely a great grip though. All things considered too.
