one arm lock off on a 6mm edge

Classic LFoS material.

Right hand is out of shot for the whole process. I'm calling a sneaky out of shot ring hanging from the ceiling.. :)

Time for a "Bring out your LFoS Dabs" thread!

Campusing onto, and off of, Beastmaker 45 slopers

That looks more like a trick than a legendary feat of strength to me. Would be more impressive if he actually stayed on the slopers after campussing to them, rather than retreating to a relative jug.


also hes campusing from 6mm edges onto the 45 slopers... and back onto the edges.

It is very impressive to say the least, but if we think about the things that ring gymnasts do...

On a - completely unrelated - side note, last week I realized that a strong fingerboarding session still gives me more satisfaction than probably any other sports related feat.
I mean, 2xBW deadlift, yes, ok.
One armers, yes, ok.
Power clean, yes, ok.
Climbing a project, yes, ok.
But one arm hangs, or two arm loaded hangs... Ahhh that's really cool. It's the field in which I feel less discrepancy between my stats and my potential.

On a side note, I just found out that he weighs 53 kg.
I currently weigh 66 kg, so I'm going to try to emulate this feat while taking, let's play it safe, 10 kg off.
If I do it, I'm officially claiming that I'm stronger than a world cup competitor.

Shit!

Just when I was thinking.. come on then, where's the one-armer.. you can't even pull past the half lock.. yeah, you'll bail at the top lock; pfft.. no control..

Yay! Dabs on the way back down.  :dance1:

Was looking impressive until that point. Come on Lore!

I am always disappointed when i hear things like that. From OMG impressed to "yeah whatever". I bet i could do this with 30kgs off. Deadhanging feats of strength surely need so kind of handicapping system as they are about finger strength not strength to weight.

In any case I'm very happy to see that, in a world made of jumps between slopey volumes, the cult of power is still duly worshipped.

From team Japan's coach: a 44 second one-arm hang  on the BM2k centre edge. Good enough for a "not bad" from Megos, at least

Ok, I've started the trials...
My BM sits over a doorframe and doesn't allow much room for body positioning so I had to separate the two tasks: the muscular part and the finger strength part.
Yesterday I had a quick play at the first part, at the end of a quite serious boxing, farmer's walk and deadlifting session. Not smart, I know.
Anyway I played it very carefully and taking 10 kg off I could easily complete the task: 5" x hang, 90° lock off, full lock off, 90°, hang.
Body positioning was a bit of an issue due to pulley system and boxing bag.
Today I'll probably try the BM part, still don't know how to solve the lack of room problem.
I love this sh*t.

I don't have access to a beastmaker, but is that hard? If you are allowed to drag?

Vadim Timonov posted a vid of him hanging for 35 seconds (maybe more chisel than open hand? not sure how much difference that makes?) so going longer than that seemed impressive to me

that's good context. I just remember that it was fairly easy to hang, even for me if allowed to drag or chisel.
