SShafley Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Damn, that's a brutal top 5. Cutthroat grip contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 It was awesome John! Definitely count me in next year! My highlights were bending a 5.5" G5 pretty easy, attempted and warped a G8 and my form fell apart during and after that, pulled 275 on the axle but dropped it at the bottom I was so mad, pulled 190 on the Vbar but dropped it(I still say the bar was too chalky... that's my excuse) and what else... closed my first #3 I hadn't been able to train grippers the past few weeks because of the pain in my LH index finger and I know I've lost crushing strength so I was pleasantly surprised in grippers. Found out as soon as I got home that my #2 is harder than the Easy #3 I closed and I CCS'd that thing awhile back! Also found out my #3 is harder than Beatty's RB300N! They're both pretty rusty and I'll be oiling them soon for sure. Everyone did fantastic and it was great meeting everyone, especially the Michigan gang. John, I was really impressed by Luke's bending too! He powered through that G8 kink and with bad form too! pics in gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Would any of the competitors care to comment on the new FBBC RB280 gripper if you got to try it? It's tough. Mine is harder than my #3, it's harder than Beatty's RB300N also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I think I speak for everyone when I say a damn good time was had by all. I think the last of us left after 1am. I closed my eyes for 20 minutes before getting up and going to the airport. Thank you very much John for putting on an awesome contest. The prize package is awesome and I looking forward to getting the Sword and shot loadable sledge home as I didnt want to take them on the plane My bests were Grippers BBSE @ 1/8 mount #3.58, 6" edgin in 1minute 7 sec ( just say the footage and it is sick), 260vbar, 355 axle, and 1minute 1.6sec in herc hold (mega pain) The Feats after were awesome and I cant even remember half of them. Closed a ton of grippers, bent a stcroix #2 ultralite into a very offcenter heart, 3finger pulled 3 25s and 2 finger pulled them half way. got a nice charlie horse in my forearm after snatching the traffic cone a few times and doing front and lateral raises with it (not strict) Clean and jerked Johns hard pair of 50# scale weights. Played with a ton of toys. armwrestled Bob Lipinski. drove a nail thru a frying pan and 3/4" pine board. My god am I sore today. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
