opnsysme Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 What can I say?? It was an awesome contest with some strong guys. But what most stood out was the hospitality and willingness to help each other out. This was in the midst of competing!! Also I can't say enough about FBBC!! Other than this, my next order of anything grip related will be from there!! Thank you so much Eric and FBBC for hosting and sponsering this!!

EricMilfeld Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 I've just added the total point scores of all the lifters. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to meet and compete with such a friendly and enthusiastic group of guys. But Mike Hadland was by far the most enthusiastic! He has energy oozing from his pores! Start training all of the events, Mike, and you'll be a tough one to beat. After the contest, with a little bit of instruction on technique, both Mike and Matt destroyed the FBBC 12" spike for certification! That really got me pumped up! That's pretty darn impressive, considering these guys don't train with spikes. I knew he would do it, though he may have had doubts himself, but Jason simply destroyed the Bastard bar! With just a tiny bit more of crushdown strength the Big Bastard would have fallen, as well. I was very pleased to discover that I can do the 50 pound Blob. It took a couple of attempts, but then I managed a full deadlift, twice. And winner of the biggest, meanest looking forearms goes to Keith! Paul showed a lot of courage by competing and giving it his all, despite having trained his grip for only two weeks! He surely didn't miss that 1/4 x 7" bar by lack of effort! Thanks again to all the competitors for supporting the contest, and a special "thank you" to John Beatty and Fat Bastard Barbell. The shirts, hoodies, etc. were great!!! I'm looking forward to next year already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorfinn Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Eric, Thanks for having us over at your home for the grip contest. Besides being one very strong hombre you are a very humble and generous person. Thanks for making my first grip contest a great one. You have a great set-up there (garage). All the other competitors were very cool and more than willing to help out and cheer each other on. I hope we all meet up again to compete or train (if any of you ever come to Austin). This contest has motivated me to train grip more seriously so, until next time... Also, the FBBC Crusher is one cool revolving thick bar. I am definatley getting one of those, a Vbar and some bending stock as well (from FBBC). I need some serious improvement in those areas (especially bending). Again thanks to all and a huge thanks to Eric for putting up with all of us. -Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-man Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 (edited) Yeah, the contest was very cool. I learned a lot this last Saturday, and I definitely have even more motivation to train my a so-called "grip" (or lack thereof)! Thank you so much Eric for holding the SHC at your garage and helping me out! I can't wait for my next comp. ... hopefully I'll be able to get on the board in the bending category. Keith, Mike, Matt, Jason, and of course, Eric, it was a lot of fun competing with y'all. You guys are BEASTS!!! haha Edited April 4, 2006 by God-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

com202 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 CONGRATULATIONS to all competitors!!!!!! The best part of the comp. was meeting fellow Gripboard members in person. Some of the nicest guys I have had the pleasure to meet. Everybody left the competition knowing they gave it their all and I was impressed with everybody. I did have doubts about whether I would bend the Bastard, but I gave it my all and it stood no chance. I was speechless, but I'm usually speechless anyways. No more doubting myself, I'm going to crush all steel that stands in my way. It was a PR day for everybody, during all events. Some very impressive strength from these guys, Timmy included. Thanks to Eric for having the comp. and all he had to do to get it going and Thanks to John and Fat Bastard for sponsoring the comp. Thanks to everybody!!!
