Jared Goguen Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 This is a little last minute compared to the advanced notice normally given for grip events, however when I was approached to co-promote a public comp. like this in my area and expose the world of grip to new people I jumped on it. This is not a NAGS sanctioned event. Where: Ironside gym 1304 SE MLK blvd portland oregonWhen: March 25th at 9amWeight classes: Lightweight men's (below 210), heavyweight men's (over 210), and women's open.Weight ins: 9am-10am There will be multiple events going on this day, the promoter wants to charge $20 per competitor, once the competitor pays the $20 he or she can enter any or all the events they wish and be up for multiple awards, as each event will will have it's own awards, which is why we will be staggering the events throughout the day in order to allow competitors to enter whatever they want. The grip event is considered one big event so the awards will be based on overall performance of all the grip events combined. Events Mammoth Grip Tools 2.5" Trilobite Rolling Handle: The lift will be to a 7.5" crossbar. Unlimited attempts put up your best numbers. Flask 2HP: The lift will be to a 7.5" crossbar. Unlimited attempts put up your best numbers. Medley: Weight are not exact on the blocks but close. I think this list is good it ranges for the easy to world class, all items will be lifted to a 18" platform, these are all one handed lifts, and the time will be 2 minutes to get a many as you can. People do not have to lift these items in any order. 1. 55lb Anvil Wide Pinch 2. 17lb River Rock 3. 20lb Hex Block 4. 25lb Blob 5. 30lb Blob 6. 40lb Blob 7. 50lb Blob 8. 35lb Plate Hub 9. 45lb Plate Hub 10. Inch Jr. (100lbs) 11. Baby Inch (137lbs) 12. Plate loaded Inch (172lbs) 13. Four 10lb Plate Pinch 14. Two 35lb Plate Pinch 15. Two 45lb Plate Pinch 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anwnate Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 What a great event for grip exposure! The "unlimited attempts" is a great idea for keeping things super positive. I can really see this sucking people into our cult bringing more into the grip world. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main goal here is to find more people and keep my local community building going. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kluv#0 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 What is the deadline to enter? My wife might want to enter. Also, I would bring some grippers to show new people how to position and "set" in hand. Most people have heard of grippers but not the heavy duty type.

austinslater Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 We are starting our baseball season with my son which keeps us crazy busy but I just ordered the rolling handle and can't wait to try it out. Hope to make it out at some point later this summer if you have anything going on. Great idea for the contest though with single events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the time being im just going to put this off and plan something further out. The main goal of this event was to have grip be show cased to new people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
