Alawadhi Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 2 finger and a thumb on 3 35s?Holding the #3 shut by the last two fingers? Throw the Inch from hand to hand? You are a trip...very funny lol. Maybe you think I was kidding but no I wasn't. IMO, you can do this. You did 3 35s (ok 33s to be exact) after 12 hours of competing. That's not easy. Why not try 2 finger and a thumb? A new goal. You also closed the phantom 4 which is equivalent to CoC#4 in strength (as far as I know, because Richard said he saw Dave Morton and Tommy closed it with a deep set, and both are #4 closers). And the board member Patrick who showed a video of a #4 close can get the #3 to 1/4" of closing with his last two fingers. So both of you are at about the same level in grippers. So why not go a step further and hold it shut with the last two fingers? Throw the Inch from hand to hand must be insane. So better to go step by step. I read somewhere that Joe Kinney could pass the Inch from hand to hand. Pass the Inch not throw So why not train for it? You have the hand size AND strength. You bent the 6.5 big G5 with only a month of hard training. If you did that then you can do anything. Again it’s my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burkhardmacht Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 modified list of Wade Gillinghams best grip feats - simply beat those records: Farmer's walk with two 50 pound BLOBS (current best is 90 feet) Pass the BLOB around their back (current best is 15 revolutions) Farmer's walk with two 45 pound plates flat side out in each hand (current best is 40 feet) Pinch grip to a full standing position 6-10 pound standard olympic plates BLOB plus weight (current best is total weight of 75.5 pounds) Passing two 45 pound plates around the back (current best is 12 revolutions) Rolling Thunder lift of 267 pounds or WR (don't know Your best RT lift) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- other ideas: A good 4# close on video with a set slightly over parallel (there's still no real good 4# close video - except Kinneys... ) MDB-DL Inch Cl+Pr MDB+Inch for sure: InchDB FW : beating Joels record!!

dthor Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Lift the 55 and/or 66 pound blobs made in Europe by heavygriptools. Shipping would probably be terrible, however they would definitely be good goals. http://www.heavygriptools.ch.vu/ Edited October 23, 2007 by David Thornton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twig Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Also, to beat David Horne would be a good one, on his home turf if you can afford it.I'd (literally) pay to see this. We set up a paypal ccount to get David over the water, surely the reverse yould be possible? I could give free room and board to cut down expenses.

amaury Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've always thought an actual Inch clean like Mark Henry's was one of the greatest feats I've ever seen Agreed. This one has passed the test of time. So has a #4 cert. I would thus go for: 1) Inch clean and press (or continental) 2) RT World record 3) #4 or MM6 cert (a good tad easier seemingly b/c of CCS vs MMS...). But be #1 in all your future grip comps is already a huge goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusom1 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) Be the first to add weight to 3-35s! Do you still compete strongman? Maybe see how heavy of farmers you can take for a walk or pick,...500lb a hand!? Edited October 25, 2007 by carusom1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne has done both rafter chins and pinched over BW. I think pinching own BW isn't necessary. You can use your chest and try to press your hands together, so that makes things little easier.

climber511 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Guys...I am trying to set some new grip goals...and I need your help Yes, I would love to CC set a new #4...but that is not realistic This is what I have been thinking about: * I am trying to go after the MM6 (not to far away...with a little time...I will get it) * Florian and Burk want to see a double Inch FW...I am currently training for it...and the blob/inch FW for more distance than I have done. * I want to give another go at the Grip Gauntlet * Bend a KOAB * I thought about giving a go at the RT WR...ever since the new talk about it I am just trying to go after and make some new goals...I need your help. Thanks, Chad Woodall MM6 - you will accomplish this one. Double Inch - combo Inch Blob - also you will do. Grip Gauntlet - in a day - I don't know - this would require a total commitment to training just for this for a long time - and possibly acquiring matching equipment to train with. But it would be quite an accomplishment. KOAB - Just a matter of devoting the time - I think it's possible if you can stay injury free along the way. RT WR - this is the only one anybody outside of the grip world seems to even know about - you've won about every contest out there and outside the GripBoard, who even knows of it - the RT seems to have a lot more recognition to it in the Strongman and overall strength world - go for that one.
