Lucasraymond Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 My website will be up and running and I will have a records list....a few items have never been contested so I would like to get a bunch of lifts on the items if possible. I will have these with me and if there is any equipment people are interested in please let me know ASAP.

climber511 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) Medley - Everything is going to depend on how many people sign up which means how long things are going to take. I'm having a 3 event contest and offering around 30 - 40 or so other events for PR and Record purposes. Not sure how much we can fit in a day. 10 minutes ago, Tommy J. said: Is that Tumbleweed any good? enchaladas do go pretty good with a margarita or 4.

richcottrell Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) On 8/14/2018 at 8:47 AM, climber511 said: · Then comes the “Different”. I’m calling this part the “Listmas Carol”. Most (at least those items I can beg or borrow) items on the NAGS Top 50 Lists – the FBBC lists – the Barrel Strength Leader Board lists – and any other list I can set up an agreement with. You can do both the “contest” and/or one or all of these list events as you choose or you can do one OR the other. Any result set in the contest portion will of course also effect any of those List Items". All of these I can find the event tools for will be available so that 1. If you are not on a list you will have the opportunity to make a position there. 2. If you are on a list you will have the opportunity to advance your position on the list. 3. If you have changed weight classes – you can make that portion of the list. 4. If you have become eligible for a Masters Class or changed your Masters class age bracket or weight class – you can make those lists. You will need to offer proof of your age. 5. You will have the opportunity to set a World Record for any events in which you are able to do so on the various lists. 6. If there is interest in “bending” I will set a section up for that also. I will need to know in advance if anyone is interested and the general steel needed. This will not be a separate “competition”. 7. Any of the “Feats of grip strength” listed on the Gripboard may also be done here with witnesses and video to be judged under their rules. This is probably going to be a very long day if you choose to make it so. Depending on how many people sign up – I plan to have multiple set ups for Euro and Axle at the least. So come and hang out - or compete in the "contest - or any one or more of the list items available. With Chris Rice's permission, I am going to start a new thread to see who all plans on doing one of the many "Listmas Carol" events in the Record Breaker part of the Gripmas Contest. It would be nice to see what Listmas events people might be interested in, and it will also help Chris and his volunteers plan accordingly for the day of the contest...

It would be nice to see what Listmas events people might be interested in, and it will also help Chris and his volunteers plan accordingly for the day of the contest... I'm interested in trying as many things as possible, not to set any records, but to get on lists even if in the middle of the list and see how I do against my weight class. So I won't bother requesting anything in particular, but I will be eager to try whatever does end up being there. If you need us to specify things, I'd probably focus on pinch more than thick bar or hub -- flask, Euro, IM blockbuster, Sorinex Saxon bar, FBBC Climber pinch, plate pinching (is there anything between 2 35s, which I can do consistently, and 2 45s, which I cannot get air on?), key pinch, Dube Cube. And the hand dynamometer I've been hearing about might be cool if anyone has that. Really looking forward to whatever is there, thanks to everyone organizing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Flesher Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'll have my wife with me, and as part of the negotiation, she gets to choose the hotel. Consequently, we'll be staying at "the Bayport by Wyndham" in Zanesville because she judged their room to be nicest. I haven't registered yet, Chris, but I'm 100% going to be there. If anyone's interested in some gimmick lifts, I plan to bring a DubeCube with me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
