Clay Edgin Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hey guys, I'm hosting a last chance qualifier for Team USA on Sunday, 12/9 in Saginaw, TX just outside of Dallas-Fort Worth. Free entry, no Armlifting USA membership required, but we're asking that you pay the drop in to The Edge Fitness Center where the contest is being held out of courtesy for the venue. No pre-registration required; just show up! The Armlifting USA rankings get closed on 12/31 so this is one of the last chances to get your name on the list and try to earn your spot for the team going to Russia in May. Events are silver bullet, axle, RT, and LBH. I'll be judging and will try to live stream everything if we can get a good connection and it's okay with the gym (some venues are funny about that). Come on out! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be out there this Sunday too. I’m gonna hold you to the rule of heckling me about the axle “once per beer” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Walker Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 @ClayEdgin the next event you run, if you do, hit me up via PM a few months before and I will help out however I can with sponsorship money, prizes, whatever you might need. I think what you guys have going on the Texas is a great thing. -Rick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulderbrew Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 5 hours ago, Tommy J. said: Athletes will get unlimited attempts to lift as much weight as possible in a rising bar format. Weight will be added to the loading pin in 2.5kg increments and athlete will choose when to jump in or pass. The lifter will have 30 seconds to successfully complete an attempt. I didn’t realize we got unlimited attempts AND 30sec to complete the lift. Nice! This should be a fun format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climber028 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Wow, big numbers all around must have been a blast to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) It’s kinda fun startin’ all over with grip training, because I can look forward to progressing again. By the way, Tommy, I’m pretty sure Adam’s cut was to make 90k, or about 198 pounds. Clay certainly went above and beyond driving up from Austin and conducting the contest on short notice. I’ve always loved his sense of humor, and it’s almost overshadowed by his friendly graciousness, and that’s not just the whiskey talking. I’m not sure who won the whiskey event, but Tommy may have edged me on body weight. Edited December 12, 2018 by EricMilfeld 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
