Hands across the Sea

Saturday 8 Feb, 2014

Events:

1. Two Hands Pinch Lift

2. Stub – Hold

3. IronMind Gripper #4, 3 or 2 – Silver Bullet

Stafford event. Inch Dumbbell (Thumbless grip) – Hold

[78k Inch dumbbell, 54k Inch dumbbell, or 40k Rolling Thunder]

We've had to change the third event, as Juha's Inch dumbbell is a Gladiator dumbbell and it is tough for them to get a grip of it.

We will still have this event as part of the Stafford event, and it'll be cool to see the results.

Replacing this in the international event is IronMind Gripper #4, 3 or 2 – Silver Bullet - not an official attempt though.

I am bumping this up to see if anybody else wants to get in on running a contest on this date for a mega-comp.

The Holds make for a REALLY intense vibe at the comp.

Also, the holds events are VERY simple for an inexperienced person to execute, so it is easier for them to get involved.

I hope more people who have the equipment get interested in running one, if you have the time.

Thanks.

The events have been selected for the World Alternative Games 2014 in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales (see below); easier ones for the First-timers, and tough events, including Steel bar snapping, for the Pro men. This should be a good spectator event, and the athletes can sign the snapped steel pieces at the end and give them to the spectators, which could be well received. We added an 83k class for the Pro’s which will be good for the smaller men.

Also here is a full list of all the events at the World Alternative Games 2014 over the two weeks.

For the World Alternative Games 2014 - I've made the 83k the 93k class now, so that we actually have a sizeable comp.

Also I noticed the BSH was 83k, so this balanced it up.
