Clay Edgin Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Kevin Meskew asked me to post this here for anyone interested. It is a Word document that contains all the information for this 10-event contest. Click here As you read the events you will probably have some questions, and I've already asked him several so when he gets back to me I will post them here. My questions were: ----Is the plate curl event going to be for most reps with a 25lb, or heaviest plate curl (35lb, 45lb, etc.)? ---"The Block" is the Ironmind pinch block right? I think you mentioned it was about 3" across? ---Apollons Axle lift is double overhand (no mixed grip)? ---Wrist roll is for max weight? ---DL hold for time - is that on a regular bar or the axle? What is the weight going to be? Overhand grip only, right? Sounds like a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Updates: The pinch block is the old IM one, which I believe is the 2" model The plate curl - for reps or for max. If you can't curl a 35lb plate, you can rep out on a 25lb plate. One rep on a heavier plate beats any number of reps on a lighter weight. Axle deadlift is overhand grip DL hold for time is with a trap bar. Weight to be determined, but it will be something everyone can deadlift. The wrist roller event is a timed event. You have to roll 50lbs approximately 36" in the fastest time. This may get changed though. Kevin is also going to add the IM hub back into the list of events somewhere I think.

Clay Edgin Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 (edited) The event list has been updated on the link above. Check it out. The Trap Bar Deadlift hold for time is going to be 500lbs and will be placed up on blocks so you only have to lift it a couple inches to hold it. Email warrior01@earthlink.net (Kevin Meskew) for more information. Edited January 21, 2005 by ClayEdgin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwarrior Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I recently purchased some EAGLE LOOPS so we can make it an unofficial event!!! Also the WristRoller stands about 6 feet tall, and the pipe being rolled is about 2.5" thick, and the total distance of the roll will be about 5 feet. (about the same height as the overall winner's trophy) Hope to see you all there!!!! Kevin Awesome, it will be great to see everyone again.

supersqueeze Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'm going to try to make it but I'm already scheduled to be in Utah climbing that weekend. My chances are low but if the weather is poor I'll be at the comp for sure. Mike M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Edgin Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Zach forgot to mention that we are only in this division because there is no women's division. My attendance at this comp is up in the air. I probably won't know what I'm doing until the day before when I'm either driving south or sitting home.

Clay Edgin Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Unless you guys can manipulate the calendar to give me a few extra weeks here in California, then I think I'm on my own NorCal strongest man is on 4/9 and the promoters are having event practice every Sunday at the venue. Easter weekend they are moving the practice day to Saturday so people can be with their families on Easter, or some nonsense like that. My daughter is not going to be in town for Easter this year so we're doing it this coming Sunday which means I'll miss that practice. No big deal - hiding eggs from a 2 year old is a lot more fun and safer than getting beaten with an 1,100lb tire. If I miss this Sunday and the following Saturday (26th) I'll have only one practice day left until the real thing. I think I have a shot at winning NorCal if I really apply myself, and that means getting some time on the implements. BUT, the grip contest will be the last chance I have to see the guys I've made friends with over the past couple of years who live in California before I move. I've flip flopped on the matter a lot over the last week so I'm not saying I'm definitely not going, and I'm not saying I'm definitely going. A lot depends on how overwhelmed I am with the move to New Mexico at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B. Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Hey Clay i thought Kevin was giving a cash award for the best R.T.pull.I could be wrong though.You know your always welcome to hang here to save a few bucks but i understand about the strongman training you can't make up those workouts.
