Recommended Posts

This thread will serve to give updates on the contest.

Entry Form:  http://www.dieselcrew.com/articles-pdf/2023USGSC.pdf

Order on Grippers will be reverse order of when the entry forms are received.

Entry forms can be sent in through regular mail or emailed.

Mailing address:  PO BOX 806 Wyalusing PA 18853

Events: 20mm Grippers, 2" Napalm's Nightmare, 2x5 Napalm's Nightmare Pinch, Little Big Horn, Napalm's Island Medley

For the Medley, each competitor will bring his/her own Medley item.  The competitor may choose to use one of the implements I have in my collection.  The item may be as hard as the athlete chooses, with a handful of exceptions:
   - the size of block weight must not be larger than a half 100lb Blob
   - no thick bar may be thicker than 2.5"
   - height must not be an issue where a shorter individual would not be able to lock the implement out
   - no face lifting of Blobs
   - no plate pinches wider than 3x25's, 5x10s, 2x45s
   - feat items and loading pin items will be lifted to lockout
   - if other limits are deemed appropriate by the promoter, they will be added
Each lifter must lift his/her own Medley item FIRST and then proceed with the rest of the Medley

Competitors along with their weight class/division will be added along with their Medley item, so everyone has the ability to train all the implements.

Additional information, as well as hotel info will be added here.

The cheapos (easy) - I'm not a wealthy man lol.  I usually buy 48 decks for $26 or so, so I will bring 20 or so decks so everyone can choose it if they want, and just take the rest home if any are left.

Cool, I have never tried that but I've tried 10 in each hand separately.  I will attempt that one for sure.  Hoping to find out what Jedd wants us to do with the pickaxe ...

All the lifting feats are to lockout.

What tools will be needed to keep this tight if it gets dropped and loosened?

Adjustable wrench or channel locks. I'll bring some

I have the wrench. Not sure about Channel Locks.  But if you could bring those, that would be great.  Thanks bro.

Just wouldn't want anyone's performance to be affected or for the unit to break.

You're more than welcome to come, just understand I'll be running the event as well as completing so I'll be extremely busy.

Added Jason's feat item.

If your coming out and are or can be qualified you should compete imo. Either way it'll be cool to hang out again, Rob!
