Vinnie Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 10 hour drive from Long Island ... doh ... but such AWESOME events. I probably can't make it, but I will see what I can do, because I'd love to do those events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroostook Barbell Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 I agree. A very long drive. I’m so excited for it! It’s a great way to bring the meathead community together! Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aroostook Barbell Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Dude! That would be amazing!!! I thought I made it public, but when I tried, for some reason the option isn’t highlighted. I’ll keep trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I made it public, but when I tried, for some reason the option isn’t highlighted. I’ll keep trying. It worked now, either because public or because you sent me friend request - I didn't actually see a sign up form, though. Anyway, @temmmeeee and I booked a room 3 hours from you, so we could drive up most of the way late Friday and then drive the last three hours Saturday morning before the comp (to get there by noon latest). Looking forward to it! I love the events. I have never done 2-inch Saxon bar or Inch Pinch in a competition and I like both of those implements, so it will be good to get on the board with those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aroostook Barbell Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 Hey all. There is now going to be a medley for the final event. Grip tops, plate(s) pinch, block weights of different weights, sledgehammer, that sort of thing. Probably 8-10 items for 2 minutes time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Tim B (93kg weight class), Anthony C (74kg), and I (83kg) are driving up Friday night from the NYC area and renting a cabin 20 minutes from the comp for 2 nights. Really looking forward to the road trip, the comp, and hanging out afterwards! @Blacksmith513 - still thinking about it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three of us road tripped to North Carolina last year (and Anthony and I did this year) for AGP, and that was awesome. This is about the same distance (10 hours each way). And yeah, it is a great getaway from the routine of life. Edited October 11, 2023 by Vinnie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
