I did not even bother, trying to make weight as I came in at 95.2 kg (93 kg was not in the cards).
I had a really good session:
- Crusher - 97.1, 112.1, 122.1, 125.1 (56.8 kg),
130.1pounds. This is a PR! I got 55.7 in 2024 and 56.2 in 2023. - Hub - 31.1, 36.1, 38.6, 41.1, 43.1, 45.1, 47.1, 50.25, 55.35 (25.2 kg),
60.40pounds. (10) was a ridiculous number of attempts, but I was lifting much better here than at home in practice. PR! - Thumb Blaster - 42.65, 50.20, 52.75, 57.75, 62.90, 65.5 (R, 29.8 kg), 70.5 pounds. PR! and I felt stronger with my left hand at home
- Little Big Horn - 84.7, 104.6, 114.6 (52.1kg),
124.4pounds. I was off of last year's PR of 55.62 kg, but still very happy with this lift and glad I made a 10 pound jump at the end
Very friendly crowd. Joe was newer to grip. Kevin helped arrange the venue. I competed with Andrew, Cathy, Marc and Louis last year. Kim was there. Herb was a beast. Josh was friendly and brought some home made stall mat grip implements to share. Curt brought stickers that her ordered from Plate Snacks.
It will be interesting to see how I stack up overall when the official results are posted.
It was pretty slow going. I arrived at 8:45 AM for a scheduled 9:00 AM weigh in. We got started around 10:00 AM and did not finish until 3:00 PM. It was a lot of fun and it seems like the Discord group is going to be a good weight to keep up with athletes in the future.
Tips - Bring real food for lunch, smelling salts, hand sanitizer and my own Spider Chalk for grip events.
