anwnate Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 " Tips Tester (Weight increased in 15-lb increments) " Just curious...how did you come up with that number. Thanks Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 This is the event I think will see the heaviest weights lifted, so the weight jumps will be bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'm pleased to say that Barrel Strength Systems has sponsored some prizes as well as a Tips Tester MKII which will be used in this contest. Thanks, Gil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've been getting some good feedback about this event. It looks like there will be a handful of first-timers in attendance. If you live in upstate New York or Vermont, Ottawa really isn't that far of a drive. Anyone who's interested is free to come by one evening to try out any of the equipment. Just shoot me a PM.

Eric Roussin Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 This contest is just 10 days away. If you're interesting in a contest that features less traditionally tested events, this may be perfect for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
