climber511 Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 I received the good news today that IronMind will be a sponsor for Gripmas this year. I had some good interaction with Dr Strossen - he got me looking at things from the point of view of a company being asked to put their name behind a contest - something I should have been better at to start with. Live and Learn. We also had some nice interaction on the future and direction of Grip Strength competitions in the future - very interesting to see his ideas.

MalachiMcMullen Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I see Paul. I get it. 9 months ago, before you joined the board, an ancient pterosaur, who had fallen into a Lazarous pit becoming immortal, living in the jungles of the congo off monkey meat and the feathers of the Merops Boehmi, otherwise known as the Boehm's Bee-eater, conveyed to you it's extreme distress and sleepless-nights as a result of witnessing my strength by watching my YouTube vids. He told you that the Oracle of Delphi once told him he was infallible, and that you wouldn't be able to beat me at Gripmas. You went to google straight away to look up "infallable" only to find that it is actually spelled "infallible" and found that it meant "absolutley trustworthy or sure". After six weeks you managed to put 2 and 2 together and found that what this meant he was never wrong and predicted you would lose to me at Gripmas. Worried to death about losing to someone who wears shoes even less often than yourself, you first thought of hiring a contract killer, but figured that was too elaborate. You then thought about taking up Anthropology and living with the Taromenane clan of the Waorani people in the Amazon rainforest who live between the Curaray and Napo rivers, tributaries of the Amazon river. After hearing of their extremely aggressive nature towards any non-Waorani, you decided against that too. Distraught, you went to the ancient pterosaur for guidence to which he replied "Shniadoslignoandllskkksoidngslidnskaaseiznvb sonid oaobdi". You had no clue what that meant and thought the pterosaur was high on LSD so in a last ditch effort, you contracted Stork Baby-Making Inc. to get yourself a beautiful bouncing bundle of pooping joy in the hope that the due date would be near Gripmas time. Well played sir, but I saw through your clever ruse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incindium Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Really what I was wondering was how long I need to pause at the top. I think the rules said there was going to be a down signal given? It the signal going to be the instant the barbell gets to the top or are we going to need to hold it a bit like I did in the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
