Chez Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Sounds like a big breakfast at the local diner is in order, anyone up for it.. you guys should run a summer contest and have some steaks & beers afterwards. I would like to join you for breakfast but I have to set up and will likely be running around to get things in order. we did it in the summer last year, but I decided to move it earlier because North American Grip Nationals is in June and I plan on attending this year.

ironman46 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Chez, I live really close and if I can help with setting up anything early let me know in hopes it might allow you time to grab something to eat quick, just an offer, thanks.

I'll take you up on that. I'll be there at 9 and I will have to unload the weight plates from my car so if you can get there around then that would be a big help. Thanks Edited April 17, 2015 by Chez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broly Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Chez can you post up the address and start time again as a refresher? Thanks bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Chez can you post up the address and start time again as a refresher? Its my friend's house so I don't feel comfortable posting it. I'll message you tonight. If anyone needs the address, please PM me, I will be checking my messages all night. Be there at 9:30 the latest. If you want to weigh in earlier and help set up, I'll be there at 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 A couple reminders: 1) If you don't have the comp address, please PM me. 2) Please show up around 9:30 am for weigh ins and rules etc. You can come at 9 if you want to help set up and weigh in earlier. 3) bring food, it will be a long day. Some people might organize buying a pizza etc. but I wouldn't count on it. 5) if you need a lift from the train etc. contact me to coordinate a time. 6) if I asked you to bring stuff, please write a note to remind yourself. 7) when you make it to Andrew's house, the basement door is on the opposite side of the house from the drive way. 8) if you want to bend or train other items, bring the steel or the items with you.

Chez Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Best Competition I have thrown so far. We continue to get bigger and better. 19 people competing! Lots of PRs and a great time with great people. Thank you to everyone who came, donated prizes (I will mention you all separated via facebook and gripboard) and people who helped run the comp (e.g., loading etc.). I hope to see many of you again at the New York Location for the King Kong Grip Comp in Late October! I announced the class results at the comp, but I will post them here by tomorrow night or Monday along with the overall rankings and the prizes that will be given to the top 3 in every class.

Chez Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Time to start getting results up. One post at a time. For the competition I put everyone into one of 4 classes based on body weight and experience = Light weight, Middle weight, Heavy Weight and "Experienced" Class. Here are the body weights of everyone by class: Body Weights (in lbs) Light Weights Jose Cabrera = 155.50 Andrew O'Leary = 176.50 Anthony Clarino = 160 Brian Burgos = 159.50 John Manna = 178.05 Middle Weights Frank Haak = 183.25 Brian Geisler = 197 Ronny Rosario = 189.55 Jerry Szigethy = 202.25 Joshua Henze = 213.95 Mike Duncan = 217.3 Heavy Weights Mike Chaffee = 300.9 Chris Andrade = 240.9 AntonTorrella = 245.6 Dominick Dragone = 237.25 John Stepien = 291 Experienced Cesare Ricchezza = 262.50 Jedd Johnson = 248.75 Lucas Raymond = 204.25 I have the scale calibration data and will review it before putting every in their Grip Sport Weight Class. I think the only person who was close between two classes was Luke and we checked there and made sure he made weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
