EricMilfeld Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Zach and I I'm there. Excellent! Will probably be able to run a date by everyone for approval within the next day or so. Probably March... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemery Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 If Zach is going to be there, IM hub must be contested. Make his WR hub power official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Does Saturday, March 2nd work for everyone? We will definitely contest 20mm block set grippers, Euro, and IM axle. There will also be a fourth event... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 In case it matters, that is usually the same date as the Arnold Classic. It is sometimes difficult to prepare for multiple contests at once. I know as someone who has competed at the Arnold, it would be tough for me to prepare for both, and I am hoping to travel to some more comps in 2013...

My concerns were to not schedule it too close to Nationals and yet give guys enough time to prepare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Love Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I wouldnt mind making the drive up to Ft. Worth to compete... I def have not trained grip once since shortly after the 2011 Arnold Classic... and I cannot guarantee I would train for this as I have been boxing a lot, but I would like to see all you guys and make an appearance!

That would be great, Ross! Okay, so for the fourth and final event how about we do the IM hub for max weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Love Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Is that plate load able IM hb? I have the piece that attaches to the loading pin Where is Paul these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Is that plate load able IM hb? I have the piece that attaches to the loading pinWhere is Paul these days? Yeah, plate loadable. I never train hub, but with a couple of hub-monsters competing I better start. Paul just up and abandoned his grip brothers and moved to some place that starts with an "O". Actually, he had a job transfer to Ohio. Great opportunity for him and a big loss for DFW grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Jacobs Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 How strict is the thumb position going to be judged on the hub, as per IM rules or must the thumb be completely straight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Jacobs Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 IM rules; I don't see anything wrong with having a slight bend the thumb. The silver bullet hold in last years Metroflex contest was judged as per IM rules being an IM product, so why not judge the hub based on the same grounds?
