I hope Al isn’t giving up on hosting the Grip Champs. I saw the news that he stepped down as IAWA President after 12 years. I know that’s not the USAWA…but I hope he’s not stepping away and not hosting contests anymore.

  Forgot to mention in my post that I sent Al an email to the address I’ve had on file for a long time. It didn’t go through, and my new phone does not have his phone number. Otherwise I would’ve just asked him.

  The past couple of years, this meet has been announced in December or January. I think it is a safe bet that Dino Gym will continue to host this great event for years to come. If Al does not host it, I would be interested in hosting it in Denver.

  Sanjiv, I’m glad you took up the reins on the Grip Champs! I’m sure it will be a great contest. I’m in negotiations (lol) with my wife to make the trip to your gym on May 3rd.
  
  That being said, I sincerely hope that Al and his family are all okay.

  To help your negotiations, any registered athletes with the last name Edwards, can stay for dinner
