OH Axle: 315
Gripper: 136
Hub: 37.58
Coin: 22.13

All were PRs except gripper. Vulcan wasn’t feeling strong, but the BBSM was easy. If we had something slightly above the 136 BBSM I would have used that.

All in all it was fun.

Grip athletes the world over, look upon my numbers and despair! (Yeah… Not so much)

Fat Gripz DL: 205 (pr for me on this one)

Gripper: COC 1.5 (Gimmie a break, it’s the heaviest one I’ve got…)

Hub: 25lb Cap plate (pr again… a pleasant surprise)

Pinch: The closest I could come to something like the half penny, was to chain weight to a thin, little 2.5lb plate and just pinch the smallest area that I could… so that’s what I did. I’m assuming it’s quite a bit easier than the real lift. Anyway… 38.5lbs.

This was my first grip event and I must say, it was fun! I’ll be testing out lifts like these a lot more often. If you compete in grip sport, yes… you should be worried.
