Knowing that within the athletes of the HG, there are some with freaky hand grip strength, I figured I would notify my HG brothers of this year's Arnold Sports Festival. (Dave Brown, Andy Vincent come to mind)

This will be the third year of the Mighty Mitts Grip Contest on the main stage of the Expo. This year we are proud to announce that the event is sponsored and run by Sorinex. This is quite an honor, and something we have been working on for years. Our goal is to get the best possible grip athletes competing on the same stage, for the most prize money possible. We want to make sure the athletes are taken care of, get maximum exposure, break records, and remain safe. If you are interested in being chosen as one of the 7 invitees, please email me ASAP, as we will be choosing athletes within the next month. Bert@sorinex.com

Some of the info about the event:

Sorinex Mighty Mitts 2012

 Where – Main Expo Stage, Arnold Sports Festival, Columbus, Ohio

 When – March 2,3 2012

 Who – 7 Invited Grip Athletes, 1 “Dark Horse” Athlete (to qualify in Sorinex Mighty Mitts booth prior to event on March 2nd. (8 athletes total)

 Athletes wishing to be invited must submit resumes, pictures and videos via email to Richard@sorinex.com for selection

 Prize Money – At least $5,000 to be paid between 8 athletes, all places will receive money.

 Top Winner will also receive opportunity of Team Sorinex 1 year competition sponsorship ($1500 value)

 Travel – Each invited athlete will receive $300 each for travel expenses

 Per Diem – Each invited athlete will receive $100 per competition day ($200 total)

 Lodging – Each invited athlete will have a room reserved (double occupancy with another Sorinex Mighty Mitts competitor) at the Double tree Suites during the competition.

 Events – Various forms of historically and functionally relevant grip items. May include – thick bar, pinching, wrist rolling, tearing, blobs, horn carry. Exact events to be announced.


We hope to see some HG folks apply or at least cheer some of these athlete on. 

 

In Strength and Throws,
Bert
