grip comp in commercial gym / dynamometer

[jamesgrahame]

I saw that one of the British grip comps ages ago used a
"2-handed dynamometer " for the crushing event.

Does anyone remember if this was well received and popular?

My local gym said I can run a grip comp on their premises but he would prefer something 'inclusive' that his regulars could train for easily.

I have a concern that casual lifters will not take part as grippers put them off. I thought a dynamometer might be a decent event and not scare off potential entrants.

Any opinions or experience with this?

In fact, any suggestions/experience regarding a grip comp based primarily around regular stuff you find in the gym.

James,
It was with an old dynamometer I have. I think it was received ok.

There are many events you can do with stuff that is in a normal gym, and with something like the Slipper Eel it can be used at basically very little cost.
