Whats up bro. Skipping Nationals on July 8th (most likely) due to wrist injury. Strained it 2-3 weeks ago. Ironic because I go by "Grip" and have tremendous grip strength for my size. Can close #3 easily on those irongrip powerlifting devices. I will be hitting the NASA worlds in Oklahoma City August 12-13. This is my second injury this year. First was left shoulder (biceps tendon) and now my fucking wrist. It is better, and if it feels good a week out I will go to Nationals. Won't be 100%, but still good enough to win the overall. Maybe a 525 or 550 right at 198. Playing it day by day. How's you lifting going? Any meets coming up? Take care bro. By the way, I feel this board has gone down hill.

Grip I agree the board has suffered from a lot of BULLSHIT. Sorry to hear about the wrist, but damn closing the number 3 is amazing!!!!!! I bought a trainer and I like it I will buy a number 1 next. I don't have any BP contests in the near future, but I do have a strongman contest nearing. I hit 550BP in the gym at a little over 242. I would like to do that in a meet it would put me in the top 20. My best lift in a meet is 525.
Hang in there GRIP, if you can't do the nationals there's always next year!!!
