Rick Walker Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 They arrived here one or two at a time. First Jedd and Smitty, then Jonathan McMillan and his wife from Canada, Eh! Then they all seem to come at once. My hands are rearing to go-so I had to squeeze on some of Jedd's grippers. Feel very good. Watch out for Tommy today who was very quiet and focused and light at 170 pounds. The shocker?? Pexter (John Mannino) shows up-all 280+ pounds of him. He grabs the Inch (he has never seen one) yanks it waist high, then sets it on his knee and pops it to his shoulder only to just miss getting it overhead !!! Sets it dwon-pull the Blob to full deadlift without even flinching!!!! Not to be out done, Big Dave Morton pulls Mr. Inch waist high as well. Damn-today is shaping up to be the finset grip contest on US soil!!! Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Piche Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 2 more inch d/bell lifters and a blob lift already Actually, no on the Inch. Not by the gripboard criteria. You have to fully deadlift it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan McMillan Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Rick, Thanks again to you and Amy for the hospitality over the weekend....it was so cool meeting everyone. Jedd brought in about 100lbs of hamburger patties the size of steaks for the Friday night. Getting time to talk before the comp was great!!

Dan Cenidoza Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I just want to say it was a pleasure meeting, competing and hanging out with everyone afterwards... a pleasure. Rick failed to mention that I deadlifted the blob Friday as well... I think he's still upset I edged him by five seconds in the farmers hold. Notice he didn't even mention me... wassup wit dat?
