daniel reinard Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Emily and I are planning to come out for the comp. It's a good time for us. As long as my work schedule doesn't change we plan to be there. Likely a few days early to spend some time down there. Emily votes a 2" DB handle. I handed her a Chris Rice Inch trainer and it was a pinch bar for her. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel reinard Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Aaron, if you do shirts Emily and I will buy one each no matter what. We would also like to sponsor to help with costs, prizes or whatever you were thinking would help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I’ll buy a shirt as well and maybe one for Gail seeings as she’s always taking my past AZ shirts for herself at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, current plan is to make a 2" DB handle for the ladies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorn Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 I do plan do offer shirts. I think likely we will sell them separate to keep the entry fee costs down since I expect there to be some fees in place for the GSI membership per person, etc. Separate also makes it where people can pick up multiple without issue. Nate has offered to work on a shirt design as well and I am super thankful for that. Still working on idea for 4th event I want to do. Need to make some equipment for it though to test. If it works out will be a wrist exercise, either radial or ulnar deviation test (like sledges but not actual sledges). Single attempt, reps with tension increasing each rep. if it works out like I think it will, should be pretty cool. More info as it comes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that does end up being a wrist event will we be having to use one or both hands? Also shirt hype!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 @acorn I am making strides with my Saxon lifts. This took some getting used to. I surprised how different of a lift Saxon is compared to 2HP or Flask. It's hard to explain, but I discovered I can actually get a better grip if I set-up while kneeling and then stand and lift with my grip already set. Hovering over it, I just can't get into position. I wanted to check a few things just to be sure: 1) The pinching width is exactly 2" and there is no other choice right? 2) What is the lift lockout or lift height requirement? 3) Tilting obvious makes it easier. Any amount of tilt you can physically muster is allowed, right? 4) There is hardly any data for this in the NAGS lists. What is a good lift? (I know you're lifting like 289,000 pounds). Right now I'm shooting for bodyweight. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm shooting for bodyweight. Thanks! Glad to hear you are making strides. Yes 2" thickness by 5" tall. That is it. You can place your hands anywhere you want on the bar though in overhand position. I generally do Sumo with hands about 8-12" apart. Full lockout with down signal Tilting is allowed and only limited by your wrist and finger strength on this ev Like you said not a ton of data. In general I think a bodyweight lift on it is pretty darn good. Same as the Euro. - Aaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm shooting for bodyweight. Thanks! Taking a crack at this. 1. 2"...no other choice. 2. same as axle...lockout (sumo or conv) 3. Any amount you can muster. 4. Body weight is good. I'm shooting for that in April...Body weight + in September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Wow! This is really shaping up. So glad to see people coming from all over again! I will buy at least one shirt, if not more. As of now, no ladies are planning on joining me for the trek down to Tucson. It will just be me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NealB Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'd really like to be at this one. I'm trying to talk to the boss(wife) about this one. It's quite far from me here in Massachusetts.

Adam Juncker Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 My family is tentatively planning a week-long road trip ending in Tuscon for this comp. Still working out all the details. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
