          Ben – I didn’t receive it yet. I assume the check was for USAWA membership (since the grip challenge doesn’t have an entry fee). I didn’t receive that either. Al

            Dang, I was afraid of that. And yes, the check was for USAWA membership. I even posted info of the grip contest on the Gripboard but I haven’t seen any interest yet – which is pretty strange considering the entire board is dedicated to GRIP training…what is going on I wonder?

              the problem Ben is, people in general are pussies, lol. I hit some Vbars tonight, 205 each hand with the black painted, need to hit some more of these this week and next so that I dont get to embarrased. I think big Mark is going to do it also.

                Haha, the truth! Glad you and Mark are going to be competing. I thought all this time that Andrew Durniat was going to compete but just saw that he’s not going to make it.

                Did 275lbs Wednesday afternoon on the Middle Fingers Deadlift. 42lb PR for me actually (3rd workout on this event so far), so I’m shooting for 300lbs at the contest. If my tendons hold up it’ll be a decent lift.

                Ah yeah, I originally got on here to tell Al that I re-sent the entry and check for USAWA membership yesterday. This time I dropped it off at the post office to avoid any “issues” that might happen.

                Looking forward to seeing you guys there! Anyone have a competitor list for the grip contest? I’m disappointed that more guys (and gals) can’t make it but I understand finances and other stuff like life.

                  I wrote this up and put it on the Dragon Door kettlebell forum to see if I could drum up any interest from someone in the KS or MO area. So far no luck. But there are a half-dozen or so guys on that board that occasionally PM me with grip questions…so we’ll see.

                    This is the entry list so far for Grip Nationals from those that have sent in their entries or have “told me” they will:

                    Ben Edwards
                    Scott Tully
                    Mark Mitchell
                    LaVerne Myers
                    Rudy Bletscher
                    Denny Habecker

                    I really expect 10-15 competitors the time it is all said and done. Al

                      Great group so far! We’re going to see some big pulls from some of these guys.

                              Dave’s correct – Felecia Simms is on the list.
