Wow, that is surprising. 

Yes he is a beast and destroyed the 90 kilos. Just no experience with grippers I suppose. It definitely is not due to because he is not strong enough...

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

Hey Eric... any listing of who will be attending this comp yet?

Joe are you in?  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.

There’s no pre-registration, so I don’t have an official list, but the following people are very likely to attend:

 

Eric Roussin

Rick Blanchard

Joe Sullivan 

Keith Steffensen 

Philippe Tremblay

Justin Major

Simon-Pierre Desjarlais 

Dan Fleming

Nick Carignan

Julie Lalonde

Jeff King

 

There are also another ten or so “maybes”.

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? :)

Yikes. I hope it calms down for the 14th! You got AC in your dungeon to keep the moisture down?

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!

Correct, but results will be entered into various databases based on actual competitor weight.

Eric ,

Do we have a list of what weight classes people are in and who is attending? Or is it still up in the air? No pressure Eric. Haha

No definite list, but I expect you, Justin Major, Nick Carignan, and Jeff King to be in the 100+ kg division.

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!

Great! My left arm is bad too man. Nerve damage/compression. Like 20% weaker than right. I love the one handeds!
