Wow, looks like it is going to be a great group. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Question about the Rim Lift. The USAWA Rulebook says the rim cannot be deeper than 1 inch. Is that from the top plane of the plate to the base of the rim or the overall width of the plate? All of my weights are thicker than 1 inch.

In terms of top plane of plate to base of rim:

York Milled – 0.75″
Schisler – 1″
Billard Olympic – 1.25″

I am planning on driving out from Denver unless weather conditions pose a safety risk. Good line up of events.

Ben, can I add your results to a revised King Kong write up? Which venue did you compete at? Do you have any pictures?

[Sanjiv Gupta]

Perfect. I have been wanting to visit the Dino Gym. There is a lot of history there. It will probably be a game day decision depending on weather as I will be driving out from Colorado.

Ideally, I could judge alongside some folks to get closer to being a certified official.

I had a lot of fun at King Kong just getting to know some of the strength athletes in Colorado and Wyoming. I learned quite a bit from them as well. I am still trying to appreciate some of the benchmarks like Crushed to Dust and the Captains of Crush series.

When and where will the 2024 Grip Championships be held?

[Sanjiv Gupta]

Good advice on the hay baler belt. It will probably take some trial and error to figure out exactly what lengths and widths I prefer for harnesses. I might have to hold off on this until I visit some established USAWA clubs.

Thanks. I had never heard of agriculture belting. That is a serious material.

Thanks for adding me to the forum.
