The Diesel Crew is back for more, with their 2005 Global Grip Challenge scheduled for September 17 in Towanda, Pennsylvania..

The events are Captains of Crush® grippers, a vertical bar deadlift, two-hand pinch, a levering event, and a support grip event that will be based on a drawing the day of the contest.

The 2005 contest will be "bigger and better than last year," the Diesel Crew's Jim Smith told IronMind®. "Many world-class grip athletes will be competing, as well as some newcomers. There will be certified [IronMind®] Red [Nail] benders and [Captains of Crush®] No. 4 closers there."
