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.

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

Heard lots of Wayne Smith over the years from Thom. Was honored to meet him last year at nationals. Sorry for the loss.

I thought Worlds was awesome!!! Al and Chad did a great job promoting this. I had a ball, got to catch up with old friends and meet some new people. Wish I would have been able to compete.

Good story Thom.

I will say that if I was attempting a Steinborne, I would prefer no one tries to spot me. If I am going to miss it I would prefer to get away from harm then to have someone there trying to “spot ” me-probably mostly getting in the way.

Speaking of the Steinborne, does anyone else remember at one of the early Dino Days a–round meets (might have even been the first one, I would have to check) when Burtzloff was doing the steinborne where he took it to one shoulder then spun it around and he almost killed Clark? And Clark did not budhe from that head judge chair-did not even blink I dont think.

An assistant may be used to place a foot against the end of the bar when it is lifted and lowered to keep the bar from sliding on the platform. However, the assistant must not aid in the lifting or lowering of the bar in any other manner.

Not sure if this is how the rule has always been stated (will have to check my old rule book) but I dont note that Denny is helping Al lift or lower the bar in that pic.
