Eric Roussin Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 On February 23rd, I will be hosting the Canadian portion of the international GripTopz Championships in Ottawa, Ontario. Following the contest, I will also be running a 20-item medley. And after that, a HUGE open armwrestling practice will follow. For information on the GripTopz Championships: http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtopic=39338 I will not be charging an entry fee, as there will be no awards. However, I will be giving trophies for the top three results in the medley, and there will be a $5 cost to compete in that portion. Competitors can choose to compete in one event or the other, or both. Though the exact line-up may change, right now the plan is to include the following items in the medley: COC #2.5 Little Big Horn – 130 lbs Rolling Thunder – 175 lbs DO Axle – 283 lbs MoonTop – 25 lbs Ironmind Hub – 40 lbs Vulcan Hand Gripper IM Tug #3 with Pinky Finger 8 lb Slim Lever 10 lb Sledge Rear Lever Pinch 2 35s Blob50 Ironmind Pinch Block – 40 lbs 124 lb Anvil by the Face 8 lb Bomb – 125 lbs 2” V-Bar – 200 lbs 2x4 Palm Pinch – 40 lbs Rim Lift – 200 lbs 172 lb Anvil by the Horn Inch Dumbbell Competitors will have 200 seconds to complete as many of the 20 feats as possible. The tie-breaker will be a 33lb Blob hold for time. Schedule: Weigh-ins, warm-ups – 9:30 am to 10:30 am GripTopz Championships – 11 am to 2 pm Medley – 2 pm to 2:30 pm Armwrestling Practice – Officially from 2 pm to 5 pm, but the tables will be open as of 11 am for those not competing in the grip contests Free pizza and pop will be served. Anyone in attendance will have an opportunity to try any of my grip equipment following the grip contests. The armwrestling practice will be attended by many nationally or world ranked pullers. It will be a great opportunity to learn from some of the best. The event will be held at my place. Location: 6151 Voyageur Drive Ottawa, ON K1C 2X5 If you have any questions, please post here, shoot me a PM, send me an email (eroussin@rogers.com) or give me a call (evenings between 8 pm and 10 pm – 613-837-1724).

EricMilfeld Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I bet Devon could post a serious time on the Silver Bullet hold. I've heard about his incredible endurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
