bencrush Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Gil, how soon will you decide on the contest events for the 2017 Southern Squeeze? I have a friend who moved about an hour away from your area, and it turns out he is going to be on paternity leave the entire month of January, 2017. So what better time to visit? And sneak over to the Southern Squeeze while I'm at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might sub in another thickbar, like the Crusher, for the Vbar. Not quite sure. I want to have some crush, pinch, thickbar, and a medley. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hey there, everyone. I sent 4 prize vouchers to the first place winners of each event. I believe I put my email address on there, but if you'd rather use the Gripboard PM system or Facebook messaging, those are fine too. Thanks and congrats to all the winners.

Hubgeezer Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I have to confess. I never looked at this thread until today. Looks like it was a great contest in all respects. Especially for a First One! Simple events, lots of competitors of all levels and sizes, happy participants. Can't ask for any more than that. Great Vbar lifts and nice going on "The Flask". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KapMan Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) I sucked that day, But I too learned alot. I jacked up my setting on my 128 and 131 attempts and missed the close by a DNA strand. By the end of the contest was ready for more, so I'm not sure if I didn't really put it out there or I just lacked strength in certain events. My flask lift was alright, but out of it all I was disappointed the most with my Vbar, 202 slipped twice, the weight was easy though. Some takeaways: 1) Gotta get stronger at the Vbar and learn how to really stick to the bar, no matter whose it is. 2) Need to practice the contest set more then I did, not doing so cost me 2 PRs 3) Need to work on my hub and overall pinch strength. 4)Do not treat grip training in the same manner as powerlifting/strongman (specificity) 5)Fix my resting bitch face. Only person brave enough to talk to me was Bob, but Bob looks like he would punch a bear in the face and not think twice about it.

silverbackgrip Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 You won Blue Label? Haha, I wish. I'm pretty sure that if Blue Label was listed as one of the prizes, everybody on GB would've showed up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Raftopoulos Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) nice, how are the sizes? let's say compared to the cpw or king kong t shirts? edit: just saw this "The men's shirts are an athletic fit, so if you are deciding between sizes, go with the larger one."
