pdoire Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I want to train for a comp that is at least a few months away and then try to compete regularly. Any ideas when the next contests are in the Northeast area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soilworker Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 If there isn't one, why not get one started? We have a lot of NE guys on here actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdoire Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 (edited) Call Murph at 1-877-387-5998 (Toll Free U.S. / Canada) ← Is he a grip event organizer, Smitty? or does he have an event coming up? Thanks Soil, maybe we should put some thought into attempting to organize something for the new year??

I remember they had a grip contest last year in Feb, mostly thickbar stuff as I recall. I didn't go though. Paul, yeah that would be cool if we put something together, even if it was small.

Dude Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'd be down for a grip contest, I'd do miserably, but I'd still go to have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soilworker Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'd do miserably, but I'd still go to have fun ← So would I, but after actually going to the GGC I don't really care anymore how I would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryg Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Depending on the date I would be in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Contact either CJ Murphy or Dave Memott (Mee-Mott). They might do it again - you never know. If they do, I'd go. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yobbo Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I would be in on a grip gathering in the New England area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRUNO Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Any word yet? ← MURPH SAID HE WOULD TALK TO HIS GUYS AND GET BACK TO ME/US. WORST CASE SCENARIO I AM WILLING TO HAVE A BUNCH OF GRIPSTERS OVER FOR A CONTEST / BBQ/ GOOD TIME. MY HOME WOULDN'T BE THE MOST OFFICIAL CONTEST SITE IMAGINABLE BUT IT WOULDN'T BE THE WORST. I HAVE ALL THE TOOLS FOR A BASIC CONTEST. LETS MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN... BRUNO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Could we set it up for a month or two down the road. Maybe we can decide what the events will be so we can train for them. I know I havent ever tried a v-bar and that kind of stuff but I could at least practice a bit before hand. Whats the soonest everyone would want to have something? Also Bruno where are you located?

cyclops Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Dude, If it's the TPS contest, I think it would be in Feb. '06. Hopefully that would be indoors. Of course, I'm down for a get-together before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Feb would work fine. I think that would give everyone enough time to practice and stuff. Anyone have an idea about events? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Bruno where are you located? ← IM IN DANVERS MASSACHUSETTS. IM SURE MURPH AND THE GUYS AT TPS WILL HOST SOMETHING. TPS IS IN EVERET MA AND THE CONTEST WAS INDOORS LAST YEAR. TPS IS A FULLY EQUIPED STRONGMAN GYM. THE EVENTS LAST YEAR WHERE AS FOLLOW 1. VBAR TO FULL LOCKOUT 2. ROLLING THUNDER 3. ON HAND PINCH 4. ONE HAND DEADLIFT ON A 3 INCH BAR 5. GRIPPERS (YUP GRIPPERS LAST) IT WAS A GREAT TIME. ILL POST ANY INFO... BRUNO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdoire Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 I'd like to see just three events...very specific ones. Maybe grippers, one hand pinch and one other. I think RT and One handed thickbar deadlift is a little redundant. I like the V-bar idea...and maybe some blob for wide pinch? Your thoughts?

pdoire Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 Sledging is an option and becoming more and more popular also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
