mobsterone Posted August 27, 2002 Author Share Posted August 27, 2002 Just got this from Bob Kennedy at Muscle Mag International (circulation 266,000 plus ) Dear Steve, Thanks for your e-mail. I am sending you by mail 100 pounds and would like MuscleMag International to sponsor the main lift. Also, send me about 100-150 words and a photo of yourself and I will get it in our gossip/news section. Remember we go to press 3-4 months in advance. Best wishes, Bob Kennedy. Is that cool or what?? Hardgainer (circ? 2000-5000?, Muscle News / The Beef (circ 12000 readership 60000 estimated) and now MMI (266,000 audited circ). What a result and some money for some one who makes an attempt on the day. I'll say now that it wont be me as organiser but one of the supporting guys / grip athletes. DH if you do the sponsored telephone directory thing here the money could go towards that... To be decided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsterone Posted August 28, 2002 Author Share Posted August 28, 2002 Pretty soon I'm gonna need names, rank & numbers together with what events/lifts you'd like to do. Steve at Pullums asked how the lifts would be judged and I told him that the RT would be according to Randalls rules with him as the ref but everything else according to the Iron Grip rules. You may need to bring equipment. They will be able to provide one or two items. There's talk of making it an annual event if successful...

mobsterone Posted August 30, 2002 Author Share Posted August 30, 2002 I'm gonna see if I can get Ben Read to come - he you know, then there's Dave as ref, you and Jim. Once the promos appear we'll see. I also spoke to Wally Pullum himself yesterday - as his dad and he used to train in the Camberwell weightlifting club and I was brought up in Camberwell we got on very well...
