2024 USAWA Grip Championships Plan

I am still planning on heading to Abilene the the 2024 Grip Championships hosted by Al's Dino Gym.  As an homage to Al's uniform opinions, I went ahead and ordered a singlet.

****

The events include:

Pinch Grip Strict - 70, 80, 80 [50 yo, 90/95kg open/open; ALL 160/170]

Vertical Bar - 75, 85, 100, 110 [50 yo, 90/95kg open/open, ALL 182/225]

Deadlift Fingers, Index - 45, 75, 80, 90 [50 yo, 90/95kg 185/135]

Deadlift, Fulton - 127, 157, 197, 217 [50 yo, 90/95kg 390/open]

Rim Lift - 107, 157, 187, 207 (still had some in the tank) [50 yo, 90/95kg open/open, ALL open/125]

As there are no existing records, I should be able to set some in the Pinch Grip, V Bar and Rim Lift.  At 95kg I would set a mark in the Deadlift, Fulton.  The Deadlift Fingers, Index is out of reach.

If Al includes a records session, I would like to try the following lifts due to having the right equipment at Dino Gym and the fact that they are relatively light to load.

Roman Chair Sit-up (45)

Bench Press Roman Chair (50)

Abdominal Raise on Roman Chair (40)

Back Extension (50)

Deadlift 3 Inch Bar

Dumbbell Walk

Saxon Snatch
