Kluv#0 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Great idea, location and much needed! Family and I visiting San Diego in late June but certainly will bring my son to this high-level event one of these years. IMO, Gripsport is the best due to unique and excellent variety of lifts. Best of luck in the inaugural event! I will award $50 each to overall winners of Men and Women division. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillGuiliani Posted Friday at 04:15 AM Share Posted Friday at 04:15 AM Hello Squeezers, This is Will Guiliani (squeez_big on ig) of West Coast Arm Sports, the promoter for this event. I wanted to update this thread a bit, the Gripper event has been removed from the contest, perhaps to be replaced with a mystery event? Also there will be awards for this event: Awards: Overall Champions for Men and Women will receive The Golden Grip Trophy, a $100 cash prize, a grip implement and the title “The Best Grip in the West”. 2nd Place Overall for Men and Women will receive The Silver Grip Trophy and a grip implement. 3rd Place Overall for Men and Women will receive The Bronze Grip Trophy Best Pound for Pound Lifter will receive a $100 cash prize. sign up for this event and other WCAS events at www.westcoastarmsports.com/upcoming-contests 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
