It was a great night for lifting here in the remote area of Montana.

Wednesday:
BP: 140x15, 250x8, 340x3, 420x1, 475x1, 500x1 Wrist Wraps and a Belt. Also no spotter or hand off, thank god for power racks.

Deadlift: 250x6, 340x3, 450x1, 540x1, 600x5 Wrist Wraps and a Belt.
Reverse-Hyper: 115x10, 220x2x10
Lat Pulldowns Front: 210x8, 280x8 Used the neutral grip bar.
Long Pulley Rows: 300x8, 320x8

COC Grip Work

I felt that since my contest is a month away. I would start benching and deadlifting in the same workout.

All for now.

Awesome lifting big James! I am doing the deadlift only at the USPF nationals in Austin this weekend. In 5 weeks I will do the USPF deadlift open in West Virginia and then on November 6th I am doing the strongest man in the U.S. show in massachusetts-it is a kick ass competition-you should try it!

Thank you,

Is that contest the Atlantis sponsored one?

BigJ,

I don’t know what is more insane… the fact that I could hide behind you or the fact that at some points you have weighed twice as much as me.

Keep moving big shit. Damn.

Thanks.

Here is a pic of the new hair due. My wife’s Idea.

It sure is. You should do it-I know you’d do great. I can’t wait to hit some new PR’s in events I have never tried at a meet. Keep posting yur workouts-i enjoy reading your efforts.

Good luck to ya! I called the meet director and having an entry sent out. I would like to, but it is right about mid terms. So I am contemplating it.

Wednesday:
Chest:
BP: 140x15, 250x6, 340x3, 430x2, 500x1, 515 came off the chest but stalled.
Incline BP: 140x8, 230x8, 315x8
Dumbbell BP: 80x8, 130x8
Light tricep work

Thank god for power racks, kinda of scary setting that weight back towards my face on the pins.

So far it looks like I am going to fall way short of my goal of a raw bench, even pulled out my bench shirts and I am contemplating on using them.

That is all. (Famous words from M.A.S.H.)

This is not a home gym. Your home IS a gym. That is probably THE BEST home setup in the history of mankind.

I assume you are not happy about this.

I can kind of say the same thing.

“I got my nuts cut…the wife’s idea.”

ps…True story.

Other then being called a FAG at work. It isn’t to bad. Of course my co-workers are lucky I have a sense of humour. Nothing like a 360 pound gay man working in a lumber yard.

Why do you look different in all of your pics?!?

I dunno, it is me. Might be hairstyles, beard or no beard. Different body weights, age, lifting and looking like I am going to explode. A lot of factors.
I just do not know.

Today was the day. I would really like to say thank you to the following people.
John Inzer, for the donation of the pink t-shirts, which were worn for my sister who has breast cancer.

Dan Paul of Paul insurance in Missoula,MT
Gus Rethswich and WABDL for stepping up and promoting the meet on such short notice.
My family and friends, for their support while I lifted.

And most of all , Michelle, my wife, I love you and I am glad you were there to cheer me on.

The lifting was great, I did a 501 Bench with no shirt and barely missed 512. I placed third in the bench.

The deads were great, 716; new MT State record. I also won the best deadlifter award.
All in all it was a great day.

AWESOME! Congratulations on the great lifts!

Thank you.
Here is a pic of the 705. I know the head judge’s crack is distracting. All well.

I didn’t notice until you told me! I was to busy being amazed at how huge and strong you are! Excellent!

Me too!

Trust me, a huge, strong man standing up with 705 lbs in his hands draws much more attention than the judge’s crack.

Thanks for the motivating picture. I’m getting ready for a competition in 9 more weeks and pics like that help me stay focust.
