Patrik_F Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 I thought you were from Minnesota, David Ostlund sounds very Swedish. He is from there too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ostlund Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Patrik, I've lived in MN my whole life. And yes my ancestors were Swedish. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Piche Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Can someone bring a video camera so the event can be shared with the Gripboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emsquared Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Count me in BC, Wannagrip there will be video and pics for all to enjoy Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bseedot Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Wanna, yes, as Matt said, I will ensure that everything is captured with video and photographs. With Dave competing it looks like I'll have to make up some Blobs with additional weight as well! With the Blobs I have I can make Blobs in five pound increments up to 80 pounds. Ya think that'll be enough for you, Dave?! Also, if any competitor wants to train with the equipment that will be used in the contest let me know- I'm always available. BC.

David Ostlund Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Brian, I am looking forward to competing in the grip contest this summer and I think an 80 lb blob will be more than sufficient. I'd also like to try out the IM stacker at some point. Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Dave are you grip training behind our backs. I'm sure Warren could make you a stacker, be sure to order three of them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAN PETERSON Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 count me in Brian hopefully i'll be able to get the #2 by then and increase my blobbing skills but i already know i have no chance with you jeff and Dave in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Brian, I'm looking forward to the contest. I tried double overhand axle deads yesterday and got 302.5 lbs, and I'm wondering what other people are getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffPeterson Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Put me done for 365lbs. Hope this helps Slayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emsquared Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I believe my best was 265lbs that was about a month ago, I think I can do more now Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emsquared Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 (edited) As there is only 2 months left before this contest which will prove to be an awesome day with some great lifts. How many people so far are coming to this, it would be sad to see that with so many grip geeks out there that it will be limited, as I want a little competition as I have seen so far there will be Brian, Matt, Dave O. and the 3 Peterson brothers. Lets see some replys from contestants Matt M Edited June 28, 2003 by Emsquared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMunger Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 (edited) I picked up a few grippers, and I'm always up for some public humiliation. The only dark horse is that I'll be living in a van down by the river during that time frame. But hey, it's local so we'll see. PS: There's 3 Petersons? Hey, I just closed the #1 with my left, so I'm feeling saucy. Only took me 3 days. Still WAY behind my right, though.
