We plan on also having everything set up for people to certify for the Ironmind Crushed to Dust challenge if they want to try it in between events. We will also have a Thomas Inch Dumbbell this year for an extra challenge at the end - please PM me for more details or email me at: cgustin1@gmail.com Chad Gustin I hope we get at least a few that are interested in certifying on the Crushed to Dust Challenge. It's a great venue, as usual. Looking forward to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm out of vacation time so I'd have to work the night before and I only have one of those implements, an Arm Assassin Finnish Ball. Maybe next year Just to clarify the point, Arm Assassin's Finnish ball trainer isnt the OEM version and cant be used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Finnish Ball and will gladly let you borrow it. Also, Tim is hosting in New Jersey if you can make it. Not sure how far it is for you but it's an hour from me in Philadelphia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 These are the medals for the top three finishers in each class in the youth division (based on international standings). The Youth division is an optional division offered at the individual venue promoter’s discretion. So please confirm with your local venue host to see if/she will be offering it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Roussin Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 For those who are curious, the 11th Annual International King Kong Grip Challenge is already underway. More than 50 people competed across five venues this past weekend. Six additional venues will be running the contest this weekend, while action at the remaining 20 venues will happen on the main contest date of October 28th. If all goes well, results should be posted on the 29th! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
