JeffPeterson Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Is there a place on the diesel site for confirmed athletes. I'd like to see who all is going to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Is there a place on the diesel site for confirmed athletes. I'd like to see who all is going to be there. I think we can work on that. I will talk to smitty about it tonight. I would like to wait and make sure people are okay with that, though. Will check back in later. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 If the airfare doesn't kill, my wife might for spending that much. How far is the contest from some of the larger airports in the area? That might make it a bit cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMunger Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Will Mike Roy be attending. (Send him an invite, complete with all paperwork. Seriously. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 We are about 3.5 hours from Philadelphia and 5 from Pittsburgh, I'd say. I think it's like 3.5 to Albany. I did not get the chance to talk to smitty about the list of confirmed people. -Jedd- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Cenidoza Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Philly is not too far out of my way... Clay, if you or anybody else for that matter, needs a ride from the airport, let me know and I'll see if I can't work something out. I don't know when we're leaving, so I can't make any promises.

mobsterone Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 If I could get a lift it might be better for me to go to Philly rather than NYC / JFK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Flying into Philly would save me almost $300, so that made the trip all the more possible. I will PM you Dan. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Dockery Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) I'll be coming by way of Pittsburgh. I might be able to pick a couple guys up at an airport there... I'd also be up for sharing a hotel room. That could significantly lower our costs. Edited July 15, 2004 by Sean Dockery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Edgin Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 With that list of competitors, it's going to take a 5.5" red, #4 close, 220lb 2 hand pinch, 230lb RT, and 400lb v-bar lift to place in the top 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 That is what I figured.... BUT That VBar is very deceiving.... I think as of now we are not using a hook grip on that....but we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Horne Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Very impressive field! Surely the top comp in September! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom of Iowa2 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Just a thought...have Iron Mind send you a brand new Iron Mind Rolling Thunder..right out of the box. Like at the national contests and other contests they've had in the past? Poundages can then be directly compared and perhaps an 'official'world record can be set. Very impressive group.

smitty Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 Tom, Awesome thought on the Rolling Thunder - Ironmind is one of our sponsors and we had asked for that Thanks bro for the thoughts.... Hey, if you have any other ideas or things you think would make the contest better - please let us know.... Smitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, if you have any other ideas or things you think would make the contest better - please let us know.... Smitty You have some good thick bar guys there. A WR is possible if someone is 'on'. The contest appears great. Just have an accurate scale nearby....or pre-weighed plates. They kinda goofed up on that at the last nationals?

mobsterone Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Wow, what a group!! I tell you something, records or no records, we will leanr stuff from each other that will lift our games higher than ever before - kicking!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 The above is the current list of attendees to the contest - most of which are competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 (edited) With that list of competitors, it's going to take a 5.5" red, #4 close, 220lb 2 hand pinch, 230lb RT, and 400lb v-bar lift to place in the top 3. I don't think there will be any 400lbs lifts on the LGC v-bar replica that I believe will be used, provided a thumb lock is not allowed. Jim Wylie holds the record with some 360lbs and he is very good at it. Edited July 16, 2004 by Mikael Siversson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Just have an accurate scale nearby....or pre-weighed plates.They kinda goofed up on that at the last nationals? A very good point. Calibrated weights are used both for the Löddeköpinge Grip Challenge and the 2004 European Championship. Please, if possible, provide a video clip of any WR attempt on the LGC v-bar (shot from floor level to allow assesment of lifting height). I think Jim did 163.8k at the last Iron Grip Championship (the bar itself weighs 1.6k). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
