Jared Goguen Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I was wondering if you have settled on a pinch block size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I was wondering if you have settled on a pinch block size? It will likely be 2.25". If you train for that, you will be prepared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHenze646 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Although I can't commit to attending, I would really like to do this competition. Weather, money, and (sigh) work will be the deciding factors. I am hoping to see future competitions from Mr. Goodman (maybe one not during the dark, cold depths of winter). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy C. Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Sounds like a cool competition, I may have to knock the dust off my grip stuff and see how out of shape I am. Is this going to be a sanctioned event with calibrated stuff or a friendly competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
