BigJan85 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm looking to do a grip comp. sometime this year and I looked under the contests forum and I didn't find much. Does anyone know of anything in or close to the Illinois area. I live in northern Illinois about 2 hours west of Chicago but I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance (5-6 hours). Thanks to anyone who can help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm from NW Indiana, work near schaumburg, I'm definately interested in hearing about contests/ training partners as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm from NW Indiana, work near schaumburg, I'm definately interested in hearing about contests/ training partners as well. NW Indiana sounds pretty close to Three Rivers, MI. We have a competition every year in the spring at Don Larkin's Gym in Three Rivers. Believe me, if you don't make it out to the next one on May 25th, weather your a grip guy or not, you will be missing something awesome.

It would probably be like a bad drive home from work! I'll save the date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 We'll probably be having one in either the KC area or the St. Louis area in the spring. It'll be a qualifier for the US grip nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Sounds great Adam! We'd love to have you there. Nothing set in stone yet, but it looks like the qualifier will be near St. Louis this year. Closer to your location by quite a ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twig Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Host one! Build it and they will come... And if you can host a comp where the above guys compete? Then you're winning, even if you lose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
