Bob Lipinski Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just a preliminary discussion. My idea: 1. Grippers parallel set 2. thin pinch 3. Double overhand deadlift from blocks 4. Front hammer medley 5. 100 pound plate rim hold We talked about Slim hammer for max at WSH, but I like having a medley to speed things up. A blob medley and max Slim lift would be my other choice. Any other ideas? How does November 16 sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I like the events, without a thickbar it's like you made the contest for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Parker Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I plan on coming. I have a friend who is new to grip that will come with me as well. What mm is the thin pinch going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I might be able to get away from school/work for this. I'll keep you posted Bob. Other than that, I quite like all the events aside from that damned rim hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Parker Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 For the DO deadlift is it conventional or can it me sumo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 Sorry for the late response. No sumo, only because it is too easy to prop hands to thighs. I can raise the blocks for you ultra tall guys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slewis4 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Just wanted to say thank you to Don, Jerri and ALL of you for letting me crash the grip contest. My first but definitely not my last. Learned a ton and was really inspired. I will do a better job of checking the Grip Board more frequently and if any of you are down and around South wes MI let me know. I would certainly welcome a training session and opportunity to connect and learn more. Thanks again!! Steve Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit Iron4 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 My name is Chris and I want to thank everyone I met at the contest for being cool with a newbie trying it out. It was a good time and I am definitely going to be training for more. It was good meeting all of you and thanks for the support and encouragement. Thanks Jeff for asking if I wanted to try it out and for all the stuff you have showed me about this sport. Thanks Bob for putting it on, and thanks Don and Jerri for hosting and for the food. I look forward to doing more. Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
