It's gotten big yes...but I just want everyone walking away feeling that they had a great time. There's been a pretty big learning curve with everything so far. Planning can only do so much...implementation will be key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Scibelli Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I will be bring 3 of my 25kg eleiko plates in case anyone wants to try and pinch a pair or 2 hand pinch three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anwnate Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 This will be my last "this is cool!" update. Anymore "build up" will probably mean I start letting people down on Comp. Day. After this, it'll just be answering any questions that pop up here or on the SJ3 Facebook page. If anyone needs my address/phone, pm me here or on FB. Things are pretty much tightened down. A least one "surprise" guest has confirmed. I'm waiting on a $20 mister system to hook to the tent. If I only use it once a year...it'll probably hold up for several contests. When I'm old and gray(er), I can sell most of my equipment...and I've been looking at all of these other costs as an investment for this and future contests. I'm really hoping that from now any expenses will be pretty darn minor. Big thanks to @Tom Scibelli and @MRabich for donations to the cause and (secret) mission. The current plan is to use small loading pins so the jr's won't have any issues with dragging the RTs in the farmer's walk. I'm thinking that 25lbs +implement/pin in each hand for the Jr's will work out. As far as the adults go...after careful thought, I've decided on 100lbs each hand. It'll be light for some...but hard for others. If anyone can't do the 100lbs...they will have to figure that out before hand and we will add a 75lbs also. Edit: The course will be 50' long. Any walk under 5' will get a "do over." So if you are gonna have a screw up...screw up early. If you are super badass...just turn around at the end and start walking back. Will the weights start swinging some while walking? Yes...but controlling that is part of the fun/technique. Without further ado...here's my RTFW stuff. Edit: I was going to do a video on it...but both my RT's are out on loan at the moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anwnate Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 I forgot a blob that belongs in the Adult Medley...42.4lbs. (39-47 was a big gap) Also...it was pointed out that there were no "Dimes" pinches. 4 and 5 dimes pinch lift now added. 49 items now. Thanks for the feedback @Anton.Torrella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Promoting a contest is harder than most people think - looks like you're doing a fantastic job! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @climber511. The real plan is to make this one soooo EPIC that you and similar peeps will decide you can't miss SJ4. I completely acknowledge that promotion is only a skirmish. The real battle begins when people show up. If SJ3 goes off even HALF as smoothly as Gripmas 2015...I'll call it a success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to Jedd and asked how long it takes him to put a contest together - he told me a few months and I laughed. But he was right of course. I do a little better now days but it still is an awful lot of work and thinking about how to make it "Right" for people. If you can find a couple people willing to load and a scorekeeper who aren't competing - life will be a lot easier come the day. You have invested a lot into putting this one - I think things are going to go great for everyone - even you LOL. I've done the try to do it all myself along with competing and it really sucks :). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this going to be two groups of benders (IMPs/BBW) or bender's choice (both combined)? I should be able to bring an extra pair of wraps too.
