Squatch that looks disgraceful. By that measure you could have your fingertips at the very top of BM 45's and claim a 0mm hang!

Our favourite strong fingered canadian being not shit on the campus board. Buried in there is that he's done 1-5-9 static  :jaw:. He mentioned that he started trying it because he heard Malc had done it, any knowledge on that? I hadn't heard it before.

Don't know about Malc, but I was always impressed by Huffy's clip in the school room. Although watching it back now, it's a real shame it's not shown in one continuous shot.

It would be interesting knowing the rungs' spacing.
I believe that European/American campus boards have 20 cm spacings, while UK 22,5. Am I correct?
P.S. the guy is a total beast. A frankly refreshing charachter.

Dont know about the Malc static thing but i do know that no one ever did 1-5-9 at the school as the rung spacing was short on the 9th. 1-5-8.6 at max.

The rung size was smaller than most people use now though.

Good knowledge, back around everyone!

agree. 1-5-9 is impressive regardless, but meaningless unless we know what 2-1 is in more common units of measurements. Like mm or inches or whatever. Also, with deep incut rungs, 1-4-7 is significantly easier on a steep board then on a more vertical board so I guess the same is true for 1-5-9.

Inquiring minds need to know: size and profile of the rungs, distance between the rungs and angle of the board.

In any case he does 1-6-10, so with 20 cm spacings it's 0-100-180.
1-5-9 on 22,5 cm spacings is 0-90-180.

I would have thought 1-100-180 easier then 1-90-180. I always found the distance of the 2nd movement was the hard bit.

Easier by quite a bit, I am sure. At least 1-4.5-7 is trivial compared to 1-4-7.

A few kg off the world record total in the men 96 kg category



But the most impressive thing is that no one in the gym, absolutely no one, even so much as bats an eye. Even the most casual sports fan would surely know that they are witnessing world-class lifts, no?

Heavy snatch is always so good to watch. Even the guy at the end who is about to be squashed is too busy with his coaching!

That's Clarence Kennedy, I've been following him for a while. Super strong with amazing jumping skills, but a controversial charachter as well.

That is also not a 6mm edge.  it's a 11mm edge with 6mm flat, and 5mm slope

Are you sure? In other posts on his feed he shows a close up of the same edge and it looks like 6mm to me...

Looking at it it almost looks like a bit of sneaky camera angling, but that is very cynical of me! It does appear to be 6mm flat and some amount of slope to my eyes, had never noticed this  :-\  stuff he is doing is still dirty though.

This post (https://www.instagram.com/p/CL3vCARDnnP/) camera angle seems a bit tricky to tell for sure, but I've seen this with quite a few hold makers. They added a new board in our gym where I can now yard on the 6mm like they're a 12mm because they have so much rounding not included in the size.

On the hold makers site, they show this (https://www.instagram.com/p/B_rsyzdDIBG/ second image) as a 2.5mm / 4mm which clearly shows that they have a flat 4mm, and a 2.5flat/1.5 slopey on the opposite side.


On a related point, I have a lattice triple rung and their 10 mm edge is bitey AF for stuff like density hangs. I think this is because the profile below the edge is undercut (like their 20 mm) instead of vertical. Not sure I'm a fan tbh. But if any benchmarks are to be established for us all to admire, then maybe something like: vert surface below the edge and no more than a 2:1 ratio for total edge depth to edge radius.

Dr., some day posterity will judge us by our actions, and not only by what we did but also by what I did not do when we had to. That day, I will proudly face posterity in the majestic light of what I am about to post.

This should help ease the pain a bit Nibs.

I like the look up at the fingerboard after three - a kind of - is that all you’ve got beastmaker? Look.

How many reps does he have to do before it moves in to the realm of mono endurance?

one rep = strength, two reps = strength endurance
