Where is the results located? My mobile browser is acting funny.

I was wondering too.  I poked around at the NAGS website and could not find anything like a contest results database.

@Cannon

It's under the "top-100 list." From there, you can filter out weight class, region, kilos, lbs, etc.

I guess I knew about that.  But that's all-in data right?  Like you have to scour that list for individual competitors.  I was hoping for the usual contest breakdown. 

But while you're here, my main question anyway is did you get 66kg elite.  Based on what you posted to intsa (I only saw a gripper and 2hp result) you only needed about 267 out of the axle to hit the total.  And you should have blown that away right?

Oh, that I'm not sure of.

 

I needed 278, so I micro loaded and attempted 279 after hitting 270. Locked out 1 side, got off balance, and dropped it! I ended up at about 578--close but no cigar. Oh well.

 

I was a little disappointed about that, but everything else went very well! There's always next year.

I really thought the requirement was 575 for 66 kg, but you're right 585.  That's frustrating to come so close and not make it!  Axle bungled it for me too, but more-so out of my own stupidity. 

Still, amazing total.  I think clearly the highest the class has seen.

I saw Nigel in action at Nationals in June and again at Gripmas last weekend.  He was impressive in June.  He was super impressive at Gripmas.  I could see substantial improvement in 6 months, and I don't think he is done yet.  He can speak for himself of course, but I am pretty sure I am right about that and meant it as a compliment in any event.

Me too.  Aaron or Chris, care to post something here?  I know how I did in my weight class, but I do like to see how I rank when weight is taken out of the equation -- I know I won't touch the stars among the bigger guys, but I consider it a fair challenge to try to place in the top half without regard to weight.

I just received the lift by lift data a few minutes ago from Andrew Pantke (probably Katie :)).  I'd post it if I knew how but I don't - hopefully Andrew or Katie will see this and put it up for us.

Oh I think I meant Andrew not Aaron, yeah, but anyway, would be great to see something just for Gripmas because the NAGS top 100 doesn't let you look contest by contest.

Oh my bad miscommunication with Aaron. I'll do it now.

Did you do an overall results, like from 1-30?  I love weight classes since I'm on the small side, but I do think it is fun to see where I fell in the mix without making excuses for size lol ...

Sure thing I got to head out and deliver those 3” barbells. Tonight I’ll post the rest of the results and armlifting scores.

Those 3" barbells were sick.  Tried it with just like 80 or so I think, whatever was sitting there most of the time.  Someone told me not to try maxing on it for fear of injury so I laid off upping it.  Whatever was on it wasn't hard but just felt WEIRD.

Not sure if this will work, but this is an unofficial spreadsheet of overall results in a sheet I created using the data Andrew posted.

My gripper number is wrong on the one you put up

You should try one that has no knurling on it. I have one that’s smooth as the Ironmind axle with a painted coating. It’s unworldly hard. A lift of 250 on it is phenomenal
