EricMilfeld Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 (edited) Here's one more open invitation to join the fun on May 1st, by competing in the "at home competition", known as the Gripboard Grip Bash. Please take a look at the three posts from March 30th, particularly the two covering the official rules and procedures for posting your results. I've counted 12 enthusiastic competitors thus far, and don't see why we can't double that figure. It's just too easy: lift anywhere you like in a 24 hour period, and then e-mail me. Here's who we have so far: Old Guy Amaury 2strong Bob Lipinski Patrik B Mike B Young Hands of Stone Jonathan McMillan Sybersnott Young'un Jeff Peterson yours truly Edited April 16, 2003 by eric milfeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I am still in, and have been doing my deadlifts clean grip style. That reminds me to train reps with the #1 gripper. I have always done singles never high reps. How about a formula that takes into account my age but ignores my size? (just kidding!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r.judoka Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Thats a great idea Eric! I am in the middle of KTA right now, so I doubt it would be wise for me to do other heavy grip stuff. Hopefully more people will jump into the game. I'll play next time around for sure. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Thnx, Rick, look forward to havin ya next time. You're right Old Guy, age should be taken into consideration. How's this? For each decade over the age of 20, subtract 100 pounds from total (to give those less seasoned lifters a level playing field) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2strong Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I'm looking forward to the contest, and to be humiliated by you guys ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Would love to be involved-HOWEVER, I am also doing kTA again in attempts to shut my BBSE before my son gets the #3. My hands are FRIED to say the least. I cannot do any other grip strength exercises. Next time- Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Oh great. My ranking drops a spot in the next competition See ya in August, Rick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Even though I will try to win, I am putting big money on BobLipinski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lipinski Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Ha AyeDee, don't think so. I'm going to give it a shot, but with my back trouble I won't get much in the bar hold. If anyone has a strong back, they will take the contest in the bar hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 AyeDee is my troll. Here it is the real me. Sorry about your back I hope you recovery rapidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Black Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I'm on the fence about this. My current gym doesn't really have the equipment for a true deadlift lockout. If I used the squat rack they have there I would have to pull half a deadlift, which would drop my numbers. I could use the Smith Machine, but that might make it easier, I'm not sure really. I'm with Oldguy, rarely do reps on the grippers, but have added them back into my training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McMillan Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I haven't been training any of the contested lifts at all but I'm still entering...someone has to be last Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I didn't train my grip in the last 2 months but count me in. I'll do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tou Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I don't have the #1 gripper. I'll use my filed down 309, which is about the strength of a #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 That's the spirit, Tou! Tom, I'll be doing a deadlift lockout from just above knee level, due to my limited equipment, so don't let a minor detail like that keep you from joining in the celebration of strength I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but that dang bar rolls out of my hands long before my back is ready to give out. Okay, Tou, with a tough gripper and all makes 13, and I'm hearin from several others who are planning to compete next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
