Sher Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Is there any interest in a ladies division?Definitely interested but can't be sure I can make it there. Could women compete in the novice/light weight divisions if you choose not to set aside a separate one? (If there aren't enough women competitors to make it worthwhile, I mean.) Melissa has it made if it's ever between me and her on grippers - that's strong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnimalCage Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I've been dying to do this for a while. Haven't been to a grip contest since 2002. I'll ask my boys if they want to participate. Maybe they will start training with me. Is there a limit on the number of competitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't have very many - I will hold it in my garage gym where it has always been - If I have enough people coming I have a much bigger place available (which I may use regardless of number).

Might be a possibility, Chris. Depends on how much Christmas shopping Santa needs to do. How 'bout a 350/hand farmers walk event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdawg Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 If you want to handicap me just throw in some nail bending. I don't think I can handle a coat hanger anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Chris, any thoughts on what the events will be yet? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Chris, any thoughts on what the events will be yet? Thanks! Mike - events are not finalized yet but my first thoughts are Calibrated Grippers of some kind Euro Pinch One Hand Apollon Axle DL Sledge Lever (in my levering set up) Height adjustable - gives everyone exactly the same "stroke" and is very safe and easy to judge. I think you guys will like it. Medley or an endurance event of some kind. I have a couple other possible things I have been kicking around but for now anyway - this looks close - I will have everything up by Sept 1st with a Nov 1st entry deadline. Ladies will probably not do levering and a 2" axle may be too much for them also - unless I make up something I think is light enough. Ladies and novice will of course not do the same medley - fewer and lighter items. I am still kicking the medley around versus having another traditional event or an endurance one. We will see. It's all going to come down to how many are coming and if we even have enough for all the classes. Oh I want to have the swap meet again - it went over really well last time - lot's of stuff traded , bought, and sold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verdigriz Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 We held a small comp here early on this month, we did a 2inch one handed deadlift, 4 attempts...so this may mean it was my idea as it was announced several months ago on an aussie forum We didnt have access to an AA so had to make do with what we had..a 5 foot 2inch scaffold pole.
