davetps Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 The contest went off without a hitch! Good showing, great sponsers and great support for all athletes from all athletes, which is something Ilove to see. Double rolling thunder pulldown and 10 second hold. Marc Bruno- 320lbs Jedd Johnson- 320lbs Gene Martin- 280 lbs Brendan Dwyer 240lbs Tom Ricci- 240lbs Anthony Sheean - 180 Ross Martin --------- Grippers Jedd Johnson- #3 with ease, about .25 inch away from the four Marc Bruno- 2.5 Gene Martin- 2.5 Brendan Dwyer- 2.5 Tom Ricci- 2 Ross Martin 2 Anthony Sheean- trainer Thick v-bar Jedd Johnson- 238.2lbs Marc Bruno- 228.2 Gene Martin 188.2 Brendan Dwyer 188.2 Tom Ricci- 188.2 Ross Martin- 168.2 Anthony Sheean- ------ Three inch bar one handed deadlift Jedd Johnson- 128.2 Marc Bruno- 108.2 Brendan Dwyer- 98.2 Gene Martin 98.2 Ross Martin- 68.2 Anthony Sheean- 68.2 Tom Ricci- ------- Hub Lift Marc Bruno- 52.7 Gene Martin- 50.2 Jedd Johnson- 47.7 Ross Martin- 45.2 Tom Ricci- 35.2 Brendan Dwyer- 35.2 Anthony Sheean- 35.2 Final Placings 1st Jedd Johnson 2nd Marc Bruno 3rd Gene Martin 4th Brendan Dwyer 5th Tom Ricci 6th Ross Martin 7th Anthony Sheean All competitors did very well, Anthony and Gene it was their firstr contest and trhey gave 100%. Gene Martin, Ross's dad, came out as the dark horse of the show, never trained grip and day in his life, but as you can tell from these results we are going to try and convince him other wise. Thanks to all who showed and hope to see you all next year unless you want another one sooner please let me know. I hope to see you all at the GGC as well. Quote
amaury Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Closing a #2.5 with no prior training is a tremendous feat in my book. Congrats to all! Quote

RossMartin Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 My father told me his goal is to train alittle here and alittle there for the next year and then try and get cirtified for the #3 the first time he tried the number 3 he almost got it. In the contest he tried it but he told me his head wasnt in it. Quote

BRUNO Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Gene was the dark horse for sure. I guessed he was a mason but I was shocked when he told me that he pushes paper for a living. I would hate to see the size of that paper pile! TPS put on a class show. I woul like to mention that Anthony (my stepson) is only 16. We both had a great time competing and training for this contest and we plan to make it a yearly thing. He also shocked me with a 200lb thick vbar lift a few weeks ago. Thanks again TPS The contest went off without a hitch! Good showing, great sponsers and great support for all athletes from all athletes, which is something Ilove to see.

Wes Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Good job everyone, sounds like it was a fun contest Quote There is a natural order. The way things are meant to be. An order that says the good guys always win, that you die when it's your time or when you have it coming, that the ending is always happy-if only for someone else.

Jedd Johnson Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Good time last Saturday. Nice to see the guys agin, and meet the new competitors. make sure Anthony and Gene keep it up. A solid year of training and the top three might get shaken up big time, given their potential. Brendan Dwyer nearly accomplished a double 45 hub lift but dropped one right before lockout. -Jedd- Quote The GOLD STANDARD Feat in Plate Pinching: 2x45s Pinch Get Your Copy Here: How to Pinch 2x45s Ebook Diesel Crew Store: http://www.dieselcrew.com/store/shop

sixlitre Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Very nice guys! Hard to believe that Gene doesn't train grip and got the 2.5 closed. Incredible! Also kudos to Jedd for being .25 away on the #4. Sounds like a good fun day. Quote 2007 Grip Goals Pinch 3-25's the 200 lb Anvil Close my #3 for 8 VBar 400 DO DL 550 Dave Juma Mr. MAX-OUT
tomricci Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Congratulations to all! Gene, great debut! Once again a great contest by TPS with some innovative lifts. I was blown away after the contest seeing Brad easily do a double 45lb hub lift. (he made it LOOK easy) As always, seeing Jedd, Mark, Murph and even Dave was fun! I gotta train for this next year!

Jedd Johnson Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Guys the highlight video that I put together is ready. Napalm's Blog It's got my #4 attempt. Looks pretty open to me. Some of the 3 inch bar lift and 2 inch vertical bar lift.
