I hope I get away with this
Today I went to the club where I armwrestle, yes it wasn't a Tuesday today. I needed to get a T-shirt that have an imprint to show which club I come from. I was invited to try out some grip feat tests such as vertical bar lift, rolling thunder dead lift, one hand plate pinch and 2 handed board pinching on an 1,5" thick board. It was fun since I havent done those specific things yet, even if I train grip strength.
Here is the T-shirt captured on movie
For those who are curtious, the results were:
Vertical barlift 70 kg left and right (Here I can probably improve since I felt I had more to go if the technique is polished).
Rolling thunder 60 kg left and right (Managed to do 65 with the right but here my small hands and bad technique started to fail me, so it was a quick lift and drop. With some specific training I hope to be able to do 90 kg).
One hand plate pinch 30kg ( since i dont recall if it was 2*15 or 2*20 kg, I say 2*15) left and right (This one I really feel not really confortable with yet, I have to find out which pinching plate width would be optimal for my hands).
Two handed pinching 1,5" thick board 80 kg (This was an easy lift. I had the technique naturally there. The only problem I experienced was that my left hand pinch weren't perfect so I didn't have full contact with my fingers on the board. This lead to that I tended to drop the board on the left more easy. The thumbs didn't fail me at all, and I decided not to test how much I actually could lift. Makes it an easy 80 kg).
After those "just for fun" lifting tests, there was some low intensity armwrestling. Experimenting with wrist angles and starting grips.
I know I should have taken it easier, I'm not supposed to strain too much during the resting week. I didnt feel that the gripping tests were straining my arms too much. Let's just hope that I will get away with it !
