I just read a wrestling book by the russian lion last year. It was interesting, but not revolutionary (as I expect it would be difficult to be in a sport which dates to ancient civilizations). I did find it humourous that “Hack” referred to the headlock or head and arm as the “cross-buttock” and someone who was a proficient headlocker was known in the book as a “cross-buttocker”. I guess I would rather be known as having a good headlock.

I bit of trivia-Who was the Iowan to beat George Hackenschmidt like an impudent wife?

“Olecranon Process of the ulna to the Styloid process of the radius”

You went and lost me. And dan, I certainly do not object to the science talk, I just wont understand it (LOL)

I would guess the 15″ would be good, but I will give it a try

I would say the barbell is the distance off the chest as required by the length of the lifters forearm. The way it is written, with it touching the chest, I would be completely oout of position to do a floor press. The bar would either be too far in front of or behind my elbows. Any time I have done a floor press, the BB is a couple inches off my chest in order that by elbows are under the bar so that I can press it. Maybe even, instead of taking it off blocks, take it out of a rack or get a lift off. Then lower it until your elbows are on the floor. Press it on a press command. That way there are no advantages given by the rule or the equipment. The only advantages would come from the lifters own leverages. anyhow, food for though. Hopefully not just incoherent ramblings

We made it Timo. Glad you made it out there with us. Those finger deads were unreal. You need a club, so we can have a meet in Finland!

Thanks Chad,

certainly our basement club in my village is way too small 🙂

I am thoroughly convinced that that type of work-having something in your hand all day is what builds a stupid strong grip. The most significant growth I ever saw in my grip was after a winter of splitting wood.

I have never had an isse with the pain of hooking-doesnt bother me much at all. But my grip is still limited. I cannot hook a decent size bar well (anything bigger than a Oly or DL bar, I can barely get hooked) and those ring handles want to open up my left hand-even with a hook, it starts to slide open.

I thought he might be a good possibility. Stupid strong hook grip

That is what I heard. I went to congratulate him, but thought better, and offered him a “good luck”
