Shoggoth Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Well we're a week out and it's shaping up to be a great comp.! Just to let folks know, this is a NAGS sanctioned event with the exception of the GHP challenge. Jedd and I communicated through FB messenger. Here's a list of the current competitors. Sadly Jay Smith had to back out due to work commitments. Jason SteevesLee DistadAndriy Jereniuk plus 1-2 of his associatesJim GarrickDan FlemingTony ReidAndrew Bolinger Josh Cloherty Ben CollinsNeil CantwellDerrek Cox David LaidlawBrenden Eberle Jake Winters Possibles that I'm hoping are 90% coming: Pete Günnar Weitzel Mathew Helmer There's also about 3-5 that I'm hoping will show up that are on the "interested" side of things as well. Edited April 12, 2017 by Shoggoth Addition of Jake Winters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluv#0 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Nice events and Congrats to the Beast Dan Fleming!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anwnate Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Damn! Great turnout! Thanks for getting the stats posted so quickly. .1, .3, .4, .9....cripes...some of you just squeaked into your weight classes. Is Lee Distad's weight class supposed to have a "+" beside it? @Daniel Fleming Are you going to become the Pacquiao of Grip and slowly conquer every division? Congrats man! @Shoggoth Nice job on the comp, the placing and the weight. With 7 reps (GHP#5), I think you woulda had the GHP#6 in the bag. Another strong Canadian showing! I love the event picks. Man this woulda been a good one to attend. Can we get some trip reports for you guys? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks guys. Still working away and no I think Lee should stay at 120. I wasn't going to make him strip in an open gym for 0.8 kg. I think everyone can agree shoes, pants, shirt, ginch, etc. will easily cover that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Yeah, I feel I need to train that set specifically otherwise the tns and 20mm work I do doesn't seem to carry over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm way off with that wider set. I should've closed that GHP6 at the comp as well but the gripper slipped a bit. I go from almost closing my elite mms to having to fight to get my 130# 2.5 at 1.5" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I have a GHP #7 at 146 RGC, and even though I can almost CCS my #3 at 149#, to GHP set & close the #7, I'm still far away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Mines 152 and mms no problem, 1.5" set and I hardly budge it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Okay, 1.5" is pretty wide for contest closes. Good stuff though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
