OUCH!
I was there, but I am not sure I recall.
What grip width did you end up using on the pull up bar, since they lock into
place and the measurements are above the handles do you recall?

Did you in practice before the event by measuring the width from elbow to elbow
and then multiply by 83%? 36.5 inches would be about 30 inches. What is the
distance?

if you still have your strend card it should say on there.

Hi STREND community!

I was seriously injured at the 2003 Miramar
STREND..Emergency Room, missed work, major surgery.
Torn pectoralis (pec) major required extensive,
invasive surgery to re-attach the muscle to the upper
arm. Drilled holes in the bone and threaded the
fibers through, then sewed them back into the muscle.

I don't mean to alarm you - but I would be remiss if I
did not notify you about the dangers of incorrect grip
width measurement during registration.

Shoulder width measurement is somewhat subjective,
whereas body weight is not. Make sure the person
measuring you is experienced and knowledgeable. (and
if the grip feels uncomfortably wide, then question
the measurement.) I did not - and my chest muscle
parted on the 19th rep. (I had done 30 during prep
workouts using what I felt was appropriate grip
width.)

Not bitter. Just want you to be informed STREND
competitors. STREND on!
