kodyburns Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 First off, to Eric Roussin and Andrew Pantke, Thanks for another great year of King Kong ! Congratulations to Jedd Johnson on a great victory ! Your having a very successful year Jedd ! Nice Work ! I was a little disappointed my 2.5 Crusher numbers at 184+. Heck I pulled 198 the first day I got it. That's Grip for you I guess. Hub I suck at and that's my conclusion. And frankly I don't see me aspiring to train it any more in the future than I already haven't 1 Hand Pinch treated me good. I was expecting 134-136lb but happy none the less. I was really happy to see the Pinch numbers on all the other guys. I would almost guess we had the highest Pinch total for the Top 3, 4, or 5 guys as a location. If not we were damn close. Nice job fellas ! Congratulations to Igor, Pasi, Jouni, Ivan, Eric, Bob, Darrin, Jake, and all the Weight Class winners on great performances !! Also, if someone sees this who knows Adam Thatchers wife, could you have her send me video footage of Vbar and other footage she might have if it's not too big of a problem. Thank you guys !! Here is the only video footage I had I was able to get. She might be of more help for other Vbar footage. https://youtu.be/JUALFXNnI5I 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedd Johnson Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I want to send a big congrats to all the lifters who set new world records in the King Kong Lifts. You all totally blew me away. I will say that I got 127lbs off the ground an inch or two, and would love to post it, but my Dad must have been busy sharpening his knives, because he taped the 2-minute rest period between my last two attempts, but not the lifts themselves. Oh well. Congratulations to Jedd Johnson on a great victory ! Your having a very successful year Jedd ! Nice Work ! Thanks, Kody. Same to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acorn Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Results should be live on the www.gripsport.org site now. Please double check yours for accuracy if you have a moment as I did not have time to go through and verify against official final results sheets. Thank you Eric Roussin for entering them and anyone else if you helped. - Aaron Edited October 28, 2015 by acorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many of them it was their first official performance. I hope you all also fell in love with gripsport as we do. My huge respect to top-lift athletes, who showed astonishing results - Kody Burns, Igor Kupinsky and Pasi Mehtälä. I really couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw them. Huge thanks to Andrew Pantke and Eric Roussin for this cool opportunity to compete with strongest athletes all-around the world.
