IFSA Hawaiian GP: Event Change

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2003

An event change has just been announced for the IFSA Hawaiian Grand Prix, to be held January 19th in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The Mondo deadlift for reps will now use a conventional bar, instead of an IronMind Apollon's Axle, in order to make it less of a grip-oriented event and more of an overall test of strength.  The IronMind Apollon's Axle, which is two-inches in diameter, is being used for the overhead lift which kicks off the Hawaiian Grand Prix, so an athlete's ability to hang onto the bar is already required for success in that lift.
