Rick Walker Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 So far: -3 Custom Robert Baraban Grippers. -1-3" loadable DB handle 1 or 2 wrist rollers some T-shirts: From Fat Bastard Barbell Company. -1-2.5 inch loadable handle-with custom made collars that lock into the plates and prevent rolling: Ted's Shed Other prizes will be purchased-I am deciding. I want some good stuff that no one has seen yet so it will take some time! Might work with the local machine shops to custom make some stuff! Grip Dudes who have commited to the Battle: 1. Me (duh! ) 2. Bender53 (Steve Mcgranahan) 3. Dave Morton 4. Tommy Heslep 5. John Mannino (Pexter) 6. Dan Cenidoza (Dan C.) People showing interest-either extreme of otherwise-and still undecided! 1.David Horne 2.Tom of Iowa 3.Josh Bigger 4.Terminator 5.John Wood 6.John Hicks 7.Heath Sexton 8.Animal Cage This is a talent filled roster. But-gentleman-I must tell you all this. I am not going to take defeat laying down! I have 5 months to prepare for this and I am going to do all that I can to be in the top 5-if not 3. And-I plan in winning the timed hold with the farmers. COME GET SOME! Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybersnott Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Rick, Tell us more about this event, "Timed Hold w/Farmers".... sounds like something I may challenge you in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted March 30, 2003 Author Share Posted March 30, 2003 PDA Farmers and handles-300 pounds an arm. No straps. Pick it up and hold on for as long as possible. Not to toot my own horn but I have held well over 300 an arm for 30 seconds. My goal with 300 is well over 2 minutes. Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
