Cannon Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 If Adam Glass can't promote for some reason, I will get his equipment and run the Minneapolis contest out of my house if necessary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Brouse Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 From his insistance on my participation I would guess he is planning on hosting the Minneapolis, MN, USA arm of the contest. David, I've neglected the Griptopz over the year, so... is there some standardization between the handle sizes on the thick handle event... or do we just compare the numbers regardless of which handle you chose? The latter is my assumption. Thanks. As of yet, I'm planning on competing this year. Today was day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I fingured he was. Great news. The instructional video for the promoters said any handle can be used. You can pick the one that suits you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Horne Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 This year's poster. https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/480285_660768083948806_1418951057_n.jpg We are getting everything together for this year's World's Strongest Hands contest. Re. T-shirts The design will be the poster on the front of the t-shirt. Are there any people who will want to buy a t-shirt that is above XXL size, or smaller than a Medium t-shirt? Also any Women's t-shirts? Cost will be the usual cost of about £12 GBP. Thanks David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Each year we test the World's Strongest Hands springs for the promoters, so that all springs sent to the promoters are exactly the same. Here are the figures from 2013 (black with a lime green and red ends - the Joker spring). Increase in spring length. -- Weight hanging 34.01mm -- 30.53k 45.75mm -- 40.83k 57.75mm -- 50.98k 69.75mm -- 61.08k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I have decided not to move forward as a promoter in Boise, ID this year for World's Strongest Hands. My apologies if it inconveniences anyone and I thank David for understanding. Best wishes to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odin Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Adam, where exactly is the contest going to be held? I didn't see an address posted; was going to PM or email you but thought others might be wondering as well. I went a couple years ago when you held it in Plymouth. I will be in the Minneapolis area this weekend and would like to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Matt Brouse told me on FB that it would be at The Movement Minneapolis, Plymouth, MN location. If anyone heard otherwise or can confirm, please reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
