The Circus Dumbbell Challenge
A powerful grip has always been the hallmark of a strong man, and the 2008 Arnold Sports Festival will feature an open challenge to anyone who comes to the Expo Center on Friday. The challenge will be to do a one-hand deadlift with the 202 pound Circus Dumbbell that is used in the Arnold Strongman Classic, which begins at 3:00 on the big Expo Stage. To qualify for a chance to come on stage at about 4:30 on Friday, try to deadlift the Circus Dumbbell, and win $500, applicants need to go to the GNC Booth at some point earlier in the day and prove that they have a superior grip. Anyone qualifying will be allowed to have a go at the huge dumbbell, which has a grip that is 3" in diameter--one of the reasons that so few people can even lift it off the floor.
