TravisRush Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 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!

MalachiMcMullen Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I was thinking 1 or 2 minutes? Set up the medley and try to complete it in that time and adjust accordingly Quote Zach Coulter Goals #1- The Planche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisRush Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickr104 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Should get Morgan to come out to this thing. We need to see what kind of damage he can do in a comp.

Bob Lipinski Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 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. Quote US Handstrength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Careful Travis! If Morgan can go, you'll have to up the weights for everything a bit to even ATTEMPT to challeng him Quote Zach Coulter Goals #1- The Planche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Ten Ox Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 This is starting to get me really excited! I'll have to start training hard again at bending, pinch, grippers... pretty much everything.
