I enlisted the help of a few friends and we had the 1st national RT comp in Oz. A copy of the post from aussiestrength.com is below...
Congratulations and thanks to everyone who organised and competed in the first Australian Rolling Thunder Championships. Between us, we have made it the best attended grip comp ever in Australia!
It was also the first interstate grip comp in Australia!
We also set/broke a number of Australian grip records!
