Paul Knight Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) I am in for sure and maybe Andrea , but she is still thinking about it. When would you fly in Paul? I have to check with Doc but I think he is judging this year if anyone is in Columbus we should have room to take people to Chris's or they can follow if they like. haven't bought the tickets yet ... I was wanting to see first if I could save some loot on rental car by hitching a ride and also a place to stay ... 213 on the scale a little while ago, but I'll be 3-4 pounds lighter in the morn .. always am Edited September 30, 2009 by Paul Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Walker Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 No way will I be ready for a contest by December. I appreciate the support, but I am not ready yet. I am just getting back into this stuff, I have a LOT of work to do. We might make the drive over to watch and help out, but that will be based on how my wife is doing. Next year I might start throwing my hat into the ring. I see vids of guys doing 220 on the 1-arm axle deadlift, closing Elites+, and doing 240 in the 2-hand pinch and I realize, being a heavy guy at 245, I have NO CHANCE at my current strength level. I need a solid year + of intense training before I consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incindium Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If you show up you better compete. Don't think you need to be hitting any crazy numbers like that to participate. If that were the case then only 2-3 people would ever compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chuck Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 So it looks like Ive got 10 weeks to drop under 208lbs and get strong again....guess I better get started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 So it looks like Ive got 10 weeks to drop under 208lbs and get strong again....guess I better get started! Well it says you weigh 210# on your sig line - 2# sounds easy enough. Now getting strong again - that's the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chuck Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hehe, old sig line, Im probably about 220 right now..still not too far to drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be lucky to get 150 on the 1-hand axle. Compete for the fun of it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpmmkrahling Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Looks like i'm going to join the party at Gripmas Carol 2009. Can't wait to met everyone and compete in my first grip comp. And I definately have last place locked up in the heavyweight division, it's just going to be a learning experience for me. Everyone has to start somewhere. I'll send in the form & money in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be so sure you are going to finish near the bottom. This is going to be huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Chris is climbing for 2 weeks so I would guess no news till after that. Ahhh. Thanks I just got home - fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, shoulders, back, heck everything is trashed. We did some great climbing - those of you who didn't come visit missed a great time. Gonna need a few days off before hitting the weights again. Anyway - the medley - I have a list of 51 possible items to go through and decide what all to include in the guys and ladies medleys - that will no doubt take me a few weeks to get done - just train everything and you'll be fine - the strongest guys always seem to win the medleys anyway. Before I left I got Brian started on the trophies - including 3 for the ladies so there will be a class for them no matter how many sign up - gotta grow this sport somehow. Supposed to have new windows come in sometime this week for my buddy and I to install - then some weatherization etc - then Gripmas prep. It's going to be busy around here.

Matt Brouse Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Use them all. 51 available events. Guy who gets the most wins. Anyone who says different is a terrorist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
