Cannon Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hopefully the shirts will look something like this. I changed the background color in paint to the Red to match the shirts we went with. Will have this on the back and a small copy of it on the left front. - Aaron That looks awesome! I'll snag an extra shirt too if their are any. That's what I was getting at with "how much?". If there are leftovers, you could sell them to us rather than get burned on overstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will sell them at cost (which is different depending on the size) plus shipping if need be. Thanks, Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Getting pretty pumped. I was dreaming of the flight last night. My grip is weakening nicely for some super compensation for next week as well. I've got my fingers crossed that it works lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Dude i'm super stoked too! I can't wait to try the 2HP and witness the mods! I'm in the garage now getting in a last training session in prep. Even broke out the competition apparel Tucson style, shorts and sandals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Don't forget point calibration AT weightclass boundaries Aaron (assuming you are not using a certified scale for the weigh-in). Good luck with the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the competition. Very much on my mind thank you. I will be buying a scale next week and doing this. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Tim and I did a Push / Pull meet at the venue yesterday and I found that they have a aquired a certified physicians scale that has been recently certified for meets. So we will be using that for weigh-ins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Just got word that Dr. Strossen will be sending out an new Ironmind Rolling Thunder. With this we will have an Ironmind Crushed to Dust challenge within the Medley as well as the opportunity for competitors to do the Crushed to Dust challenge before or after the comp. After we are done the New Rolling Thunder will be given away as a prize to one lucky competitor! - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 This is awesome news!!! Thanks to Randy and IM!!! Aaron - how does the RT compare to the inch db? I can lift a 150# 2" handle db, but your inch stopped me cold. I'm pretty sure I can do the first 2 of the 3 of the C2D. The RT will be the wildcard! How much earlier should we show up to try the challenge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwm Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I've been reading more on the RT - I don't think I'll be able to do anywhere's close to 200, but what the heck, it's worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel reinard Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah the RT is much harder than a 2" db handle. Save your energy for the main events bro. The C2D will be in the medley anyways and after if you want to try it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you guys should try the RT as many times as possible when fresh prior to the comp. Start pyramiding up with a base of 20 rep sets at 125. You got it bro!

acorn Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've got just about all of the trophies welded up as of last night. I still need to weld the top and bottom sections on 4 more then clean them all up and get them painted. Engraved labels should be ready in a couple days. Here are the first 3 ready for paint. Let me know what you guys think. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorn Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Its all steel. Base is 3 different parts welded together. 2" tubing, 3" round ring, and tapered end cap for the top. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwm Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Amazing work!!!!! Can't wait till Saturday. If I do win a trophy, the only downside is people will ask me if I can bend a horse shoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What better way to learn than at the comp. bring a St. Croix Forge Ultra Light 2 and wraps if you have them. There is a good ferrier shop in Tempe. Aaron, way cool you and Tim did the push/pull. Hopefully some come back to your comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 I finished welding up the trophies at lunch and Zac came over and helped with prepping for paint. The usual wire brushing, cleanup, and degreasing. Will try to start painting tonight if I can. Shirts are supposed to be ready today too. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acorn Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Current forecast is 79deg on Saturday. Gotta love March in the desert. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
