The events will be as follows

 2" Napalms Nightmare

 3" Saxon Bar

 Little Big Horn

 A surprise hold for time event that will have a special prize awarded (mysterious!)

The first three events will be rising bar, last man standing. This means take as many attempts as you want, the weight will only increase, and once you miss a lift your done for that event. You don't have to take every weight increase, and I wouldn't recommend it, but if you miss a weight we can't go backwards

The last event will be separate from the scoring for the main competition and the overall winner will receive a fabulous(ish) prize! The weights will be different for men and women and the timer will start when the weight leaves the floor and stop when the implement leaves the hand, or the weight touches the floor again. 

All athletes must be members of Armlifting USA to compete, its 20$ for a year and you can find more information on that here: https://armliftingusa.com/membership

Information about weight classes will be given out as we see how many people are coming, I want the weight classes to be competitive because each weight class winner will get an award. The overall winners will also receive special prizes. 

Weigh ins will start at 830am and Lifting at 930.    

Location is in the Rock Bottom Gym (previously Club 2000) at the square in the middle of Hanover, PA 

IMPORTANT: When you sign up please send your shirt size and expected weight for the day of competition!

We are working on sponsors to make the goodie bags as fun as possible

Any questions feel free to email or shot me a DM on instagram

Sorry I just saw this Jedd, I'm not good with multiple platforms when it comes to social media. Instagram is often too much for me. 

If that is a possibility sure I'd be very open to it. At the end of the day opening the world of gripsport to people is my aim so the more I can offer people the better. A second sanctioning body would be an absolute plus. 

Email me what you had in mind and what I can do for ya, and if it's too late I'm already planning Snacktown 2024 so we can get it done then!

for the October 6, 2024 Squeezefest, do you have a pic of the "pretzel rod"? Curious what kind of lift it is (crush, pinch, thick bar, or, my guess, vertical bar?).

Yeah, I saw that link but it does not clarify what the pretzel rod actually is.  I'm curious.

I just signed up even though the pretzel rod is still a bit of a mystery.

Thankfully the Baltimore Ravens are playing in Cincinnati that day.  🏈

Don't let Mr. Boh hear you talk that way about the Little Utz Girl!!!  hahaha

Just kidding...I'm a Marylander through and through but for beer & pretzels I prefer Yuengling and Snyder's Sourdough.

Frankly, our best food export is blue crabs with Old Bay...not pretzels or potato chips.
