I think my best is around the 175lb mark, achieved with a meager 7" set of hands. If we put that into an equation, that comes to 25 Pound per Inch. Let's see who score the best in regards to the Pounds per Inch system.

Who would be interested in a grip comp in Edinburgh?

I am looking to get something organised for the future but not sure who else is in my area (or wants to travel) to a comp.

I have a garage which I can use for a daytime comp. It is part of a series of quiet lockups so the venue is not a problem and we can make as much noise as we want.

I just need competitors. Anyone interested?

5. A completed bend is when the bar has been bent into a "u" and the legs are parallel or beyond parallel to each other.

This just makes it far easier to remember and judge.

I've sandwiched another shorter plate in between these giving a total width of 40mm. There is an internal gap of about 20mm between the outside plates.
