Sorinex Summer Strong III

June 26 will be the third rendition of the Sorinex Summer Strong event. The event centers around Richard Sorin’s birthday, this year is his 60th, as well as his company Sorinex, this being their 30th year in existence. Sorinex is known for making the highest quality equipment around. They are not just equipment makers but lifters; Richard was a top ranked power and olympic lifter growing up and the first person to close a Captains of Crush #3 gripper. His son Bert was a 4-time All-American Hammer Thrower for the University of South Carolina and current Professional Scottish Highland Games athlete.

Last year I gave a kettlebell instructor course to members of Team Sorinex the day before the event. This year I will be lecturing and demonstrating kettlebell sport on the event day. Another highlight this year is the inclusion of a grip competition and many of the strongest grips in the world will be on hand, with world records in there vision.

Here is a highlight video of mine from last years event:
