Grip Contest In August


TravisRush

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I'm trying to set up a grip contest in the NW ("Grip of the Pacific") and was wondering who would be interested. It would be sometime in August and would consist of:

-Grippers

-Bending

-Pinch

-Sledge work

-Block weight medley

Please let me know if you would be interested...there will be prizes based on who can show up.

I'm thinking $20 entry fee but will adjust based on participation.

I have it all structured, so if interested, please PM me and let me know or just reply here.

Thanks!

NOW it looks a little cooler ;) Now that I think about it, you might try some more items too. Have you thought of a time limit yet?

I was thinking 1 or 2 minutes?

Set up the medley and try to complete it in that time and adjust accordingly :)

5 minutes is the concensus on the time limit on the medley. As for bending, I was thinking that a uniform length of 6" would work best up to max attempts.

Should get Morgan to come out to this thing. We need to see what kind of damage he can do in a comp.

If it is any help, my first contest only had three participants from the grip board. The rest were friends, or friends of friends.

And for good news, two of those guys are now good friends and have made it to every other contest.

Looks like a cool contest, unfortunately I'm on the wrong coast and can't take time off from work in August even if I had money to travel :(

Careful Travis! If Morgan can go, you'll have to up the weights for everything a bit to even ATTEMPT to challeng him ;)

Update:

APT Pro Wrist Straps has just signed on as a sponsor for the event! It would be great if some of the GB guys could make it out!

The date has been set for Sunday, August 10th...will be taking donations but will not have an entry fee!

I'm currently trying to locate a Euro Pinch apparatus for the event...if someone has one please let me know

There will be a surplus of bending steel, a nice collection of grippers, and plenty of other stuff to have fun with! I will be bringing the last of my horseshoes to mess with too!

I would love to see some of you guys out there!

This is starting to get me really excited! I'll have to start training hard again at bending, pinch, grippers... pretty much everything. LOTS of work to do! Fun, fun, fun!

I've got one more guy from my gym that wants to come. He was hesitant to compete but i'll convince him.
