Vinnie Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Is this competition open to newbies? It's a bit of a hike so it might be a tough sell to wifey, who is not a huge fan of my new hobby lol, but it sounds really fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it, I went to my first competition just a few weeks after finding out about grip sport and had a blast, met awesome people and learned a ton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'll be totally honest. I'm not running an event I can't physically do. I can barely close a #1 right now, due to my injury. If that's wrong, then I'm wrong, buddy. You'll be missed if you don't come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always give new gripsters plenty of help at contests who need it. I hope you and your wife attend and have a good time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Probably a silly question... what's an inch pinch? Never mind. It's Luke's little block. Got it. Will it be done as a key pinch? Edited January 4, 2018 by Mike Rinderle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucasraymond Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 yes it will be key pinch style -trying to get some records for these implements...I plan on only keeping contest only records; gym lifts gets too crazy to keep track of 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Wasn't sure about the blob curl. Not supposed to curl anything because of the biceps tendon partial tear. Figured I'd see if I could even do half a 75. Can. It hurt. I'll just do this at the comp and stop there. Wasn't going to come up if I couldn't do all the events. I'll get last, but at lesst I can do something. I'm in. Blob curl left and right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Six of one. Half dozen of another. At least wanted to know I could curl this lil guy or it's not worth a 4 hour drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna use inch pinch for the first time tomorrow... sounds like a great number though! Much better tool than the stub if you ask me.

Like @Jedd Johnson I credit all my grip accomplishments, every piece of steel I've ever bent, and most of my athletic accomplishments to the stub lift. I mean really... has there ever been a more functional lift? I think not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
