Lefty's Steel-Grip Challenge at Dorn Space!
Advertisement
Calling all strong men and strong women, put YOUR grip to the test! Awards up for grabs. $20 entry fee (cash only). Signups begin at 10:30 am and lifting begins at high noon.
The RULES are simple.
The lifting implement is grasped along its vertical surface (not under the bottom or over the top). The weight is then hoisted with one hand and held off of the ground for a target time period of sixty-seconds.
Championship medals will be awarded to anyone who secures a sixty-second hold. Consolation awards will be provided to lifters who hoist the weight off of the ground but are unable to complete the full sixty-seconds.
Men will be attempting a weight of 60 lbs. Women will be attempting a weight of 45 lbs. The order of competition will allow each lifter to receive up to three attempts over the course of three rounds.
No gloves or tape shall be allowed on the hands, fingers or thumb. No sticky substances may be applied to the hands, fingers or thumb. Only standard weightlifting chalk supplied by the venue will be allowed for use. "Hook-gripping" is not allowed.
Standard sneakers, boots or shoes are mandatory for safety purposes. Pants are recommended as are shin guards.
Finally, no part of the lifter's body shall be used to help hoist or hold the lifting implement and/or the attached weights other than the lifter's one hand.
