sorry for late reply - I have been away for a few days.

Mark, thanks. quite enjoying the new exercise. I was going to take part in your 1hand overhead press but
the same event was just dropped for the comp I was training for.

I was at a single with 40kg with a 2.5" handle. Although, i was bending over a bit to give me a better leaverage. Not really very upright and strict.

David, I posted 10x40kg with my left a few posts ago.

Great work David!!
And James, no problem, maybe next time

James I see that now.

Nice and close

A week off for me with the armwrestling contest on Saturday. Itching to train!

I am at the gym on Friday (as oppsed to training in the street) so I will have another crack at the 10RM

R = 10x35kg (injured shoulder)
L = 10x 42.5kg best yet , 7x45kg (didn't quite have it in me today)

Well done James, and back into the lead.

The difference between arms is similar to mine.

Hi David
May I enter this challenge too ?
Many thanks
Tony

Of course you can.

Welcome to the forum.

Tell us a little about yourself.
David

I reckon I can fill in a few blanks as Tony is a some-time training partner of mine.
...but I will let Tony speak for himself.

I saw him on Sunday and the cheeky bugger never mentioned he was joining the forum.
This will make it harder for me to inflate my numbers in this challenge!

Thanks David
I was a powerlifter, but after 12 months of subtle work James convinced me that the world of strongman was the way to go, and as part of that, I've also started mucking around with some grip stuff, mainly pinching.

Cool.
Well have fun with this exercise, and keep us posted here, and every so often I put the updated scores on the single, and 10 rep Challenge.

Do you need a handicap or are you cool to start off the same as Mark and I?

David

Hi all

Trained with James tonight, once he stopped talking

After warming up :-

50 x 4
55 x 4
60 x 4
65 x 4

On both right and left arms

Balance not quite right, hoping to improve over next few weeks.

No need for an additional handicap, as I already train with James.
