Kluv#0 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) My first grip contest Dec '16 - 3 guys were 600 plus deadlifters all 400lb stone guys and big time squatters- 2 of those men did 201 on RT but both could not close the COC #2 CCS gripper to complete CTD- they had never used those type of gripper before so setting was a problem and that specific strength- both can easily do it now:) Interesting nugget- I had never heard of keypinch back then only found out about it the following month, LOL Edited June 18, 2018 by Kluv#0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to decide -- it's a very long drive from NYC and I want to see if anyone from the area will want to split the drive with me. I kind of want to attend.

Eric Roussin Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 If you've been on the fence about attending this contest, it's not too late to jump in. This IronMind equipment has been around a long time and I know a lot of people own some of these pieces. Why not come out and compete?

Vinnie Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I don't think I am going to make it because of the distance, the divorce, etc. Too many variables. Good luck all! I will be at King Kong in Queens and I hope to make it to the Last Gripmas in Ohio after that. Hope to see some of you at those venues!

Guest Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hey Eric, so there is no 120kg class? It’s just 100+? Meaning all over 100 are in the same class, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Correct, but results will be entered into various databases based on actual competitor weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 No definite list, but I expect you, Justin Major, Nick Carignan, and Jeff King to be in the 100+ kg division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 He’s a long-time armwrestler. He has cerebral palsy which affects his right arm, so he struggles a bit with the two-handed events. Luckily for him, the Ontario Armlifting Open consists entirely of one-handed events! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
