porkchop Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Alright fellas, I decided to finally get something going instead of all this talking we have been doing over the past x number of months. On Saturday, August 19 I will be hosting a grip gathering at my place in Jacksonville, FL. This will not be a contest although we can compete on a casual level. We'll do some gripping and I'll fire up the grill get some grub going on...all I ask is that anyone coming contribute $5 to help cover the cost of the food. I have the following that we can use...anything else grip related that anyone wants to bring to add please feel free. Grippers: pretty much anything Blobs: 30, 35, 40, 42.5, 47.5, 50 FBBC dumbells: 2", 2.5" FBBC vbar Grip Machine Anyone interested reply here. If the date doesn't work we can work with that. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crotchulla Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 That would be flippin sweet. I wanna meet some more grip people. Everyone I know things I'm strange and won't pick up any of my equipment. Is the place easy to find? Cause I'm down in the ocala/belleview area, don't know much about Jacksonville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicked Willie Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I'd be interested...if I can free up that weekend. August is a busy month for me...new and returning students at the University of Florida kinda eat up my time...sometimes requires weekends.

Kirk Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Dang! The weekend before or the weekend after would be perfect for me...but if it's that weekend I definitely cannot go. If you change the weekend, please let me know and I'll be there for sure. Dang, this would have been my first chance to do something like this, too. Let me know.

porkchop Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 I've gotten a reuqest to move this one week either forward or backward. Does anyone have any preference? I'll throw out the date to be 8/12 unless that poses more of a problem than 8/26. I'll take a no response from previous "I'll be there's" to mean that's no problem. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkchop Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Okay, so the new proposed date is 8/26. How does that sound to everyone interested? pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 If I can swing it, I'll be there! I have relatives in Jacksonville, so I would be killing two birds with one stone so to speak!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkchop Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 That'd be great if you could make it. I look forward to seeing all who can. If anyone is driving a long distance and is in need of help finding a hotel or something let me know and I'll be glad to assist. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crotchulla Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Ok, so it's the 26th? And what time are you planning on startin' the shindig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkchop Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yep, the date is 8/26. I figured we'd get started around 10:00 and it'd last until everyone wanted to part ways and call it a day. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkchop Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Alright fellas. This coming Saturday (8/26) is the date. I am looking forward to meeting with each of you. Here is the list of people who showed interest. Anyone else is welcome to sign up. I'd ask that each person confirm so I make sure I have enough refreshments for all. porkchop unseenbeat SageNowhere (maybe) crutchulla Chris9118 Wicked Willie (maybe) Kirk Sybersnott (maybe) Wes GatorGrip Please PM me if you are coming and I'll reply with directions. Thanks, pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unseenbeat Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Me and Sage and Wes will basically come if we end up making a roadtrip out of it. But, I'm thinkin we're not gonna. Ended up being worse timing than expected for me, and Joel probably will just lose interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 This is my prediction: Sybersnott 1st place; Porkchop 2nd; Wes 3rd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'm not clear yet on whether or not I'll make it, but I'll try and find out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crotchulla Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'll be there for sure. And I'm bringing a friend from work. He has shown some interest in grip training so I figure this will either make him want really train or realize this isn't for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkchop Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 This is my prediction: Sybersnott 1st place; Porkchop 2nd; Wes 3rd! Thanks for the vote of confidence Timmy, but I'd be really surprised if I placed 2nd. There are some strong guys on that list.... I believe on an average day Wes (and others) would beat me no prob. I'm nursing a shoulder injury right now and my grip strength is down. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkchop Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Alright fellas.. this is going down in two days!! If you are coming and haven't confirmed with me via PM please do so ASAP so know how much grub to plan for. pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
