17-Mar-07: Global Grip Challenge 2007
We are holding our Annual Grip Contest in PA this year in Sayre PA. We will contest the regular events, and bending will make a return.
Event 1 - Grippers. Credit Card set or no-set using IronMind Grippers only. We have a complete set of brand new grippers starting with the Guide and Moving up to the 3, 3.5 and 4. 3turns. One effort per turn, like a powerlifting contest. Want to keep it moving this year.
Event 2 - Two-handed pinch lift using official adjustable Euro Pinch - Probably 3 widths will be used: 44mm, 54mm, and 64mm.
Event 3 - Vertical Bar. One inch vertically positioned bar with weight added. It's like pulling a horseshoe stake out of the ground.
Event 4 - Bending - We will use the Reverse technique only, using the Gripboard Rules. Variety of stocks from IronMind, Fat Bastard, along with Grade 5's and 8's will be bent.
Event 5 - Timed hold with Rolling Thunders attached to a Car Deadlift apparatus. It will be just like a farmer's hold, only the handles will be Rilling Thunders and the weights will be added to the Viking Press/Conan's Wheel apparatus. We will get a picture up soon.
The date will be Saturday, August 25, 2007. Hotel information will be posted soon. There's a Best Western right in Sayre and we will be doing shuttles back forth.

13-Mar-07: New Block Weight to Train With
Chris Mathison scored a pile of the old style york dumbbells with the globe heads and was generous to send them all over the country for just the cost of shipping. I was lucky enough to get one of the last ones he had.
This is a video of me lifting it. This was no easy feat, let me tell you! It is half of a 60. Chris actually said it weighed in at 32 pounds at the post office!Thanks again to Chris for sending me this gem!
