David Horne Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Peter Horne Memorial Grip contest 2006 Date Saturday April 8th, 2006. Venue Stafford Start 11am Events 1. Two Hands Pinch Lift for reps 2. Total Wrist Tester 3. TBA 4. TBA 5. Weighted Toolbox carry Since my dad died in 2003 I've done some kind of feat of strength to celebrate his birthday. From next year I will run a grip comp on the nearest saturday to his birthday. We want the event to be quite quick, maybe 2 hours. For this first event I will have events that my dad liked and competed in. We will also feature the walk with his toolbox as the last event. My dad used to offer this toolbox and all his tools to anyone who could beat the distance he would carry it. Anyway, it will be a hard but fun day, followed by a visit to the restuarant after for a big steak. There is no entrance fee or prizes for this contest, and is open to all who fancy a go.

David Horne Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Graeme, No he didn't. But later in his life when he was 58 I beat him by a few yards. He did 140 yards, and the toolbox then weighed 98lb. The handle is a thin triangular handle. It will be fun to see what we can do. Neil, Cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Graeme, Yes the Total Wrist Tester is a great device that will test all wrist strength. I will upload a photo of it soon and all rules and info. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
