anwnate Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Out of curiosity... Event 2 - Block Pinch (4 attempts, rising bar) Which one? 4" wide? Event 3 - Vertical Bar (4 attempts, rising bar) 1", 2" ? Cool design BTW. Quote Current Goal: Train consistently...consistently.

Jared Goguen Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I was wondering if you have settled on a pinch block size? Quote My YouTube channel - grip, and shop projects.
Squeezus Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 I was wondering if you have settled on a pinch block size? It will likely be 2.25". If you train for that, you will be prepared. 1 Quote 2020 Goals: Red Nail 3/11/20 (bent under cert conditions, still waiting to be assigned judge for cert) Bastard 3/21/20, Golden Bastard 4/25/20 MM5 MM3 & MM4 Offhand

JHenze646 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Although I can't commit to attending, I would really like to do this competition. Weather, money, and (sigh) work will be the deciding factors. I am hoping to see future competitions from Mr. Goodman (maybe one not during the dark, cold depths of winter). 1 Quote “Fall down seven times, stand up eight.” - Japanese proverb "I can, I will, I must.” ― E.T. “Only death can finish the fight, everything else only interrupts the fighting.” ― Andrzej Sapkowski

Jeremy C. Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Sounds like a cool competition, I may have to knock the dust off my grip stuff and see how out of shape I am. Is this going to be a sanctioned event with calibrated stuff or a friendly competition? Quote
