My opinion: the US should have a separate Nationals at around the same time as the Canadian Nationals, and then we should all get together for the North American Championships in June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah how come you guys have a separate one from us and we don’t do that? We should have a just American one if you guys have a Canadian one. And then one like we did in June We should make that happen! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Additional details: For the Flask Two-Hand Pinch event, weight will be increased in 5 kg increments. For the 2 3/8” Napalm’s Nightmare event, weight will be increased in 10 kg increments. For the Silver Bullet event, all IronMind grippers will be available (from Guide through #4). Any hold of 2 seconds or more on a given gripper trumps all holds done on easier grippers. For the Hub event, weight will be increased in 2 kg increments. For the Wrist Wrench event, weight will be increased in 2.5 kg increments. For the Coin event, weight will be increased in 1 kg increments. The opening weights for all events will be low enough so that everyone will be able to record a successful lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
