The Grip Show

This competition was hosted by Alex Guiha in Sleepy Hollow, NY. The competition was made up of the following events: Mash Monster Gripper Close, Drill Rod Reverse Steel Bend, 2 Hand Euro Pinch, Marcy 45 Hub (Max weight), and a Thomas Inch Dumbbell/Blob combo lift. The events were based more around feats of strength than the sports standard competition lifts which makes this a very unique and exciting competition to check out!
