DAVE101 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I have pretty mediocre grip strength, but I had always wanted to attend this at some point. Congratulations Chris on building this legacy of a competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climber028 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) I'm in, hopefully a year of hammer training will lead to only a tiny bit of embarrassment Edited February 6, 2018 by Climber028 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt, it shouldn't matter if you can train for a contest or not, it only truly matter that you can make it. The last couple of contest I've been to. I have had zero time spent on training the main lifts for said contest. Let me cut through what I'm saying, get out there, lift something heavy, make it happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have just made arrangements to hold the contest at Underground Athletics - a very nice brand new gym here in Crooksville. I will hopefully be having too many people for my little garage gym. With all the events (20+) we're going to need a lot more space just to set everything up. More information to come. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I am new to the sport, just attended my first comp last month, and would love to be able to attend your last one! It is on the calendar. As the date gets nearer I will butter the wife up as needed and should be able to attend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
