Jedd Johnson Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 This week, I announced the next installment in my annual February contest. This year, it will be called Winter Grip Fest, and you can find out more about it here: http://www.dieselcrew.com/winter-grip-fest Date: 2/18/17 Location: Current plans are for my garage gym in Wyalusing. What's awesome is that Eirik Bruun Ingebretsen has stated his intentions to come and compete, so I am beyond pumped to have another lifter of his magnitude in my gym. It's going to be awesome. In a nutshell, here are the events this year: Event #1 – Silver Bullet Hold Each competitor will get 2 attempts. Men – 1st round #3, 2nd round #4. Women – 1st round #2, 2nd round #3. Juniors 1st round #T, second #1. Total time of both rounds are totaled for the score. Event #2 – Two Hands Pinch European Adjustable Pinch Device will be used. 4 attempts, rising bar. +/- 5lb jumps. Event #3 – Pickaxe Lift Max to the Front. 4 attempts, Rising Bar. Event #4 – Bull Ring Hub Lift Diesel Power Bull Rings will be used. If hands are 7.5″ or shorter, lifter will use 4″ Bull Ring. Hands 7.51″ or longer will use 5″ Bull Ring. Lifter may use both hands to set grip, upon starting lifting attempt, off-hand must be removed and implement must be approximately level. Event #5 – Pinch Block Curl Hold for Time The Diesel Power Pinch Block Curl will be used. Weights to be determined. Lifter will take one attempt per hand. Time begins when implement leaves ground, and time ends when it hits the ground or loses contact with the hand. These events will comprise the actual contest. I then plan on running the following 2 events as extras. Event #6 – Reverse Bending Challenge Reverse Style using 6″ length bars, nails, and bolts. Cordura, IMP, Battlefield, towels, suede wraps or combinations are permitted for wraps – must pass through a 1.5″ wooden hole. Rubber bands permitted. Must reach a 40-degree bend inside 30 seconds. 3 attempts Event #7 – Inch Dumbbell for Height Inch Dumbbell will be lifted on top of a platform in one movement, with no contact with the body. 4 attempts, rising bar platform. I am also open to running a Crushed to Dust for anyone interested, and assuming IronMind supports it, as well as other add-on events, as long as they are announced at least 30 days prior to the contest date. I will be working on the NAGS sanctioning process for the contest as well. Any questions, please let me know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 After seeing these posts, I realized that the store page got taken down when I ran out of inventory. I'm all stocked up now, and will get the page back up ASAP. Sorry guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 UPDATES Got the first paid entry from Eirik Bruun Ingretsen - things just got REAL. So, the list of competitors confirmed: Jedd Johnson Lucas Raymond Eirik Bruun Ingretsen Also, With the development of the #4 Silver Bullet Hold World Record, and since I had already planned a second attempt where the #4 was used, competitors will now be able to take an official attempt for that record, as well. IronMind has even offered to send brand new #3 and #4 grippers for the event. Fresh grippers straight out of the pack to make things as official as possible - Thank You IronMind. I also want to thank @anwnate, Nate Brous, for sending a MASSIVE sponsorship package, a beginner bender box, full of all kinds of awesome goodies for new benders. Thanks so much, Nate! More updates, as things develop. All the best in your training. Jedd 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'm working on the videos of everyone's holds. They were so exciting, I want to upload them separately. Also, another highlight. Before the comp @Biffmaister, Eirik, put on a display with the 187lb Homicide Death Grip Bell. It was AWESOME to behold! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
