Plate wrist curl
Purpose of lift: demonstration and test of wrist strength.
Scoring: heaviest plate wrist curled wins. Where the same diameter plate is used then the addition of weight in 1.25-kilo increments decides the winner. A 15 beats a 10 and a 20 beats a 15 regardless of weight added (even above 20-kilos using a 15+5 additional weights. This is because the order of strength required to wrist curl a larger plate is higher than adding even as much as 7.5-kilos over the loaded plate (15+7.5-kilos for example being more than 20) due to the load being further away from the hand.
Plates used: starting weight 10-kilos, then 15-kilos then 20-kilos
Weight will be added to the plate using a light weight loading pin separated, if required, by a flatter version of an Olympic collar to allow the thumb to get a grip.
Execution:
The wrist will rest on the edge of a bench. The starting position has the plate in the up position (at about the ’11 o’clock’ position or just short of vertical – more risks the plate falling forward). A referee will signal ‘down’ and the plate must be lowered to the ‘9 o’clock’ position or horizontal. At this point the referee will call ‘up’ and the plate must be curled back up using only the wrist.
The competitor MAY lean forward and, if so required slightly to the side of the hand being tested (so as to have the plate curl up and down and not off to the side due to inflexibility of the wrist). The plate CAN go below the horizontal position before being curled back up if the competitor feels comfortable doing so but they may not drop and bounce it back up using momentum. It must be seen to be under control at all times.
When the plate as is close to the 11 o’clock position as possible the ref will call ‘Good lift’. The ref will spot from a side on position the better to see clearly the uppermost and lower portions of the lift. If the lifter loses control of the plate they can drop it forward or, if one is provided, get a spotter to take the plate by saying ‘take it’ or some pre-agreed clear signal (‘help me!!’ for example)..
The plate is to be curled with the flange uppermost. Fingers will be on the smooth underside and thumb over the flange. The same plate will be used by all the competitors (dimensions to follow)
If the competitors have any questions regarding this event they can ask before and on the day PRIOR to the events commencement (no debating of the rules half way through)
Both hands are tested. A ‘rising bar’ will be used. 4 attempts are allowed. It is advised that the wrist are well warmed up before hand. Wrist wraps etc are not allowed. Chalk is allowed.
Strongman scoring system will be used as usual.

Please note the following required amendment to the Baby Inch event rules (BHSA rules have also been changed):
One Hand Baby Inch Dumbbell (53kgs) Hold (Maximum Time)
These are purchased from heavygriptools here. The lifter will straddle the dumbbell . Hook gripping is not permitted. A normal or thumbless grip is allowed. The free hand may be used to brace against the opposing leg or resting on a bench or upright. The dumbbell must be raised to a point where both ends of the dumbbell are pulled clear of the floor and allow a clear view for the referee. The dumbbell should not touch the legs, and the dumbbell should be kept roughly parallel - the referee will give a warning if it is tilting too much.
