The international grip contest continues this Saturday. Sites will be in USA (MN, MI, OH, PA, TX, AZ), Australia, United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, and Russia.
Events for this leg will be as follows
- Vulcan adjustable hand gripper with a 30 mm setting block, 4 attempts.
- Two hand pinch lift on adjustable European apparatus. 4 attempts.
- Stub lift with the Griptopz apparatus, 4 attempts.
- Half Penny lift with the griptopz apparatus, 4 attempts.
There will be 3 classes in this competition. Men’s open, Men’s 82.5 kg class, Women’s open. In the first leg we had 88 competitors, I would expect with this leg will see over 100 total.
Leg 1 results for the 2011 series are posted here
Registration is 15 dollars, you can pay the day of the event or you can send it to your promoter in advance.
This is an excellent contest for novice and advanced alike. With the exception of the Vulcan, the contest events are simple and straight forward.
For the Minneapolis Location
Doors to Movement Minneapolis in Plymouth (2075 East Center Circle) will be open at 930 AM. Please be at the gym no later than 1030 for weigh ins and registration. First event will begin at 11 AM prompt.
For all Minneapolis competitors, I need you have your pinch width selected no later than 1050 and your opening level on the Vulcan.
If anyone would like to come out to help load & calculate plates during the competition I would be greatful. Special Thanks to Anh Thai for the excellent score keeping in leg 1, which made my life way easier at the end of the day!
We will have a Medley event after the contest, as we did in Leg 1. I will include qualifying lifts for Nationals in the Medley.

Good luck this weekend. The way you have trained luck has nothing to do with it really. Get fired up and kick some ass.
