  1. 18kg curl is max weight I’ve done for multiple reps
  2. 10 reps is most reps I’ve done with left hand on RB100 no set
  3. 18 reps is most reps for right hand on RB130 choked

World of Grip Strongest Hands Leg 2

Competed in the second leg of the World of Grip Strongest hands competition today.  Was really happy with my results, setting personal bests in all events.  In the  two hands pinch I got 59.1kg, a gain of 5.2kg over my last result 3 weeks ago.  Weaver stick to rear was 2.7kg, an additional 0.1kg over last time, and on the Rolling Thunder I managed 58.7kg.

The next event I will participate in will be in April and I am hoping to start closing in on 70kg on the two hand pinch.
