anwnate Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Tom...there is no chance I'll pull 200lbs on the RT this year. I'm not training the CCS, the 1HP, the crusher...or even blobs. I'm pretty much just training to bend big steel. So it should be pretty obvious that barring a catastrophic event...I'll be there bright and early Sat. Sept. 19th. Woot! Looking forward to it. Anything I can bring or do to help out and make things run smooth...just tell me. You got an email to paypal the entrance fee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Sharkey Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) ..or even blobs. To be fair, you don't really need to train blobs toss them around little knitting cushions. Edited June 9, 2015 by Mike Sharkey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate the only thing I'm training now is RT, sprinkled with some 1HP, so you'll be in good company.As far as things to bring, do you have a full size inch or just the baby? Currently the inches I have are: Sorinex loadable boscoe bell~100lbs Strength shop 54kg bell~118lbs Baby inch~132.5 I'm thinking this contest will give me a reason to buy the strength shop 64kg bell lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Scibelli Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 One update I found out that there is going to be an air show on the day of the contest. My house is just off of the runway of the base, so if you like seeing cool jet planes fly around, we'll have the perfect view! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anwnate Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 ..or even blobs. To be fair, you don't really need to train blobs toss them around little knitting cushions. Ha! Ten months out of grip...I can barely get my Blob50 off the ground.

However...if we can get him to come down, I'm sure he'll bring it. Actually I'm kinda at a halfway point for him. He could park at my house and I could halve his driving if he wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Scibelli Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 CCS grippers is really interesting. I have never seen that contested. I like the idea. Thanks Chez, for some reason I thought I remembered seeing CCS as a category on gripsport.org, but now I can't find it. Jedd is reviewing now whether this can be sanctions as a NAGS event or not, so the event might change to something else so it can be sanctioned.

bencrush Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Cool event lineup, Tom! And I like the flyer. Having CCS grippers is badass, too. The strong-on-grippers version of me from @ 2008 would totally sell a bunch of toys to attend your contest. I hope you have a big turnout! CCS grippers are a kick to the ego, but it all makes us stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 We did CCS at two Global Grip Challenges. There was a lot of feedback that the CCS was too wide for smaller handed individuals, so we never held it again. Trying to get as many people for you as possible, Big Tom! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCS Grippers is a listed event for the Grip Sport Rankings on gripsport.org. I think this is a cool event since it mimics IronMind's certification set. What is the dividing line for light and heavy weight classes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the dividing line for light and heavy weight classes? I'm still waiting to hear the final word, but it appears that CCS will be allowed to be sanctioned, so I'll be glad to keep the event. Right now the classes will be 83kg and below for light and 93kg and above for heavy, but if a lot of people want to come I'll make light, medium and heavy.
