Since I would love to see everyone operating at peak efficiency, I think this is a good idea for those who use this type of warmup. We'll have plenty of weight in the warm up areas, so as long as we arrange the mats for "just in case", we should be good to go. As the person responsible for the meeting room, I'd really appreciate if people spot so there are no drops. lol. The squat stands shouldn't be a problem, but I don't own an Olympic bar. Maybe someone else can bring one along? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should work. Moderate reps are best for waking up the CNS. Singles don't work well. I don't think anyone will be using crazy weight just to wake up for the comp.

anwnate Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Updates... When I heard that @Squeezus was going after the FBBC 2.5" Crusher Record (currently 224.43lbs) at SJ4...this needed to happen... and... @Jared Goguen's "Mammoth Grip Tools" Trilobite 3" Rolling Handle will now be part of the SJ4 medley...and available for testing and pulls after the contest. ...and the Blobfather will be available for those rare few who think the Blobzilla just isn't enough of a feat. That's all folks. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anwnate Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 I've decided I will only update attendance on Friday. Out of curiosity, I've broken the numbers into states. For fun...any State that has a women competing will have their top 4 competitors (1 woman, 3 men) aggregate overall placings match up with the other States. All of the competitors (even those not totaled in State contest) from the State with the lowest total will each receive a small (but cool) prize. The moral? Ladies are awesome competitors...let's encourage their participation in Gripsport. The "Pick Up Artists" from NC are sending another competitor to SJ4. Jason Otto is now officially "Attending." This brings the current hard attendance to 34.
