BrandonA Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Hey everyone,New member here. I placed 3rd in the recent Arizona Cactus Grip Showdown, my first competition. This is after only four or five grip training sessions in my life. Competition results (as best as I can remember): 1st Event, Grippers. Closed an "easy" #3 CoC. Tied for 2nd. 2nd Event, Pinch Grip. 160 pounds. Tied for 3rd. 3rd Event, V-bar. 215 pounds. 3rd place. 4th Event, Nail-bending. Bent a 5.5" 60D nail. Did not place in top 5. 5th Event, Axle DL. 325 pounds. 2nd place. 6th Event, Blob Medley. 12.58 seconds. 1st place. My main focus right now is taking the deadlift world by storm, but once I get some time to dabble, I'll close a brand-new #3 CoC and do a double 50 pound blob pick-up. Many thanks to acorn for introducing me to the grip-world and answering my numerous questions. And thanks to the other competitors at the Showdown for making it fun. It was a very positive first experience.

EricMilfeld Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Rex, I'm sure you've heard it a hundred times by now, but that is one very impressive maiden voyage on the Grip Ship! Watch out, or you'll end up a "lifer" like most of us around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lone Wolf Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Like to thank Aaron and his wife Heidi for allowing us to come to their House. It was good to see my good freind Bill at this event he brought his wife too. anytime after April Bill got 1 more contest to prepare for.
