AP Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 What's the time limit on that grip/strongman/beer challenge? I don't know if I'll want to try that one, 4 beers and then ten reps of clean and overhead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironorr Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I am planning on attending and possibly bringing along my brother as well. He is not involved in the grip game, but he is impressed with all of the work he sees me doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I just checked it online and found out it's a 10+ hour drive from here. Damn. That definitely changes things a bit for me. Doesn't necessarily mean I won't go, just makes it a bit harder. I think it will be well worth it to go and meet up with everyone though.
