Forum: Powerlifting/Strongman

I competed in the OR state drug tested championships last Saturday and wanted to give a report regarding my progress and the meet itself. Newer folks interested in powerlifting may enjoy a quick snapshot of what it was like to train and compete. This will be a longer post so feel free to skim...

What CoC gripper can you close? Have you trained for it, and if so, what worked for you? I have messed around with them a few times but have never really trained with them consistently. I can close the 2.5 with a good set.

If your number one goal is building as big a deadlift as possible then would it be a mistake to replace high-bar squats with front-squats as your other main-lift? In other words, I use high bar and deadlift as my main lower-body lifts. I'm wondering if Front-Squat would be a better main lift in...

I am a very strong person, I squat 750, log press 385, bench 340, but only deadlift 550 because I am short and have stubby arms. How can I overcome this problem that has been plaguing me as a short heavyweight strongman? Thank you.

Could someone please direct me to a good place to buy a box for box squatting? I tried to search, but to no avail.
