mobsterone Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 If I get a lift it'll make a nice warm up for the Brits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 That's what I thought, and also for any scottish lads for their comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mac Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Any idea of the weight for the Dinnie Ring lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'll be here, but I'll have to be back in Manc for the PM, cos it's my birthday. I don't expect to register on any lift, but I predict I'll do ok (i.e. national level) on the dinnie, I've never trained it, but it seems to be pain related.

David Horne Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Chris, Dinnie Ring Lift for Reps The proper replica handles and loading pins manufactured by David Horne must be used for this event. These rings are copied from the original stones, as are the loading pins, so they are the same height as the stones at Potarch. The weight of the large stone is 187k (the equipment used must total 187kg inclusive of apparatus), and the smaller stone is 146kg (the corresponding sized rings must be used). A lift is completed when the weight is 5cm or more from the floor, and it must be lowered under control. No down signal will be given but the referee may discount any failed lifts at his discretion. The time limit is 90 seconds and just one lift with the large stone set-up will beat any number of lifts with the small stone set-up. No hook grip can be employed. The handle must not touch the leg at any point during the lift (a little brushing is acceptable, but no locking). No wrist wraps or straps of any kind are allowed. Neil, It'll be good to see you. The train service is good and quick. The Dinnies is all about strength believe me. The small ring/stone can be a bit more pain related because of the ring shape and size.

David Horne Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Stew, Great news! Think you'll like the Dinnie's. Be nice to set a good target for the scottish boys to aim for at their nationals. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Boland, It turned out to be a bit light for us all, so either we went further, and since it's held in my garden it's not really feasable to be running around the streets. I think the Dinnie's for reps is an adequate and nasty replacement. Some good strongman can't lift the big stone with one hand, so we'll see how many reps get done. I'd also expect a good number of reps in the Scottish comp, as there are some good strongmen in that field, and a couple of them have lifted both stones together. For those who don't know what the Dinnie Stones are, here's a superb site http://gordondinnie.com/Lifts.html Cheers Thorsten and Eric.

oceans11 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yeah looking forward to the Dinnie event!.... David had a lift with your relica handles loaded to 180kg and 140kg a couple of months back.... the are fairly close to the real thing...great fun! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Mike, That lift is very close to the weight of them. I took all the measurements of them when I was up there lifting the Dinnie's the first time. Glad you're having fun! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceans11 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Cheers David.... yeah i failed to lift those "bad boys" together last time i was up... left blood and chunks of skin behind .... but their day will come! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Mike, When I trained to lift them, I got to lifting above the weight of the stones, and as it turned out this was a good idea. As on the day, it rained, snowed, chal;k was no good, and there is no warming up weights. So straight into the stones and no excuses. Here's an article that may help http://www.davidhorne-gripmaster.com/article10.html They will come for you - definitely! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceans11 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks for that David some really big lifts in training!!.... yeah last time i waisted a lot of energy trying to get them in good position..... will make sure i'm prepared next time mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
