BWAHAHAHA Masch! I’ve got that movie on my DVR right now, my 4yo loves it!
Greg, mad props on your hops (even WITH a volleyball), I don’t know that I could reach the net on a BB court. I’ll try though, there’s one right next to my house. Like literally, I’ve had basketballs in my backyard before. BASKETballs, before you get all homo on me…(again)
Aaaaaaaalright! Time to catch up on some posts!
Ink- you’re just gonna have to wait for LWI WC… I give great massages so I’ll hook you up with a shoulder rub down in the suana… wait wuuuut? I think they did put something in the food… It was called 'not very tastey ingredients" lol The hang cleans really warmed me up for the dunks i think. I was feeling pretty powerful/explosive while I was doing them so I was ready to go after that. I really want to keep working on my power cleans. I might start adding them in and working on them 5/3/1 style. I think that could be a good idea? It’d be sick to get a 315 power clean. Baaaaaaaaaller!
MiM- You know what? It DID feel good to use my skills. I want to talk to those trainers and see if they heard anything about the lady (I say lady but she was probably younger than me?)
DF- I dont know how you missed it either cause it was a long ass post! Thanks big guy… We’ll have a nerf gun war after LWI WC (actually theres a legit laser tag place next door to my gym that I’ve been meaning to try out. I only ever see 12 year olds in there but with my training I’m pretty sure I’d run da streetz on those pre pubescent tweens)
Nikki- I dont ever remember seeing her at the gym before so I dont think she gave me the cold shoulder. Well she kinda did cause she wouldnt really look me in the eye… but I think that had more to do with her other issues. That is an awesome story! Way to encourage the competitive younger generations. I like it.
Masch- hahaha thanks Masch. The DB Snatches were awesome. I’d never done them before and I was definitely getting looks from everyone around me when I grabbed the 100lber out of the rack. I’m definitely gonna keep doing these. My traps are feeling sore today from the snatches and the cleans.
hlss- Thanks man! Sorry about the PM pics… I meant to send them to someone else 
hahaha DF does have the best vids… I dont know where he comes up with all his crazy ish.
Oregand- I’ll definitely keep trying to keep hitting PR’s. I’m really exciting about these cleans and snatches so I think that might be my focus for a little while… I’m just trying to keep on pushing. thanks for checking my log brah
Maschy again- That is awesome! I was watching the Pee Wee Herman HBO special the other day… it was really weird. Have you seen it? He totally sounds different now but is still trying to keep the Pee Wee sound and he looks kinda chubby in the face… weird. I did have some margaritas last night… and some beers… and by “some” i mean a lot! My buddy got into town last night and him and his wife were over till midnight. We were all caught up in the reunion moment and drank our faces off. not the best idea.
OK so now for today…
Well I woke up early this morning not feeling that great… Cinco De Mayo kicked my booty last night and I had too many cinco de drinko’s. Had my fire class thing today and we had another physical agility test thing. This one today was “the hard one.” I got to class a little late cause I had to pick up some gatorades and ended up being the second to last person to sign up for the test. (lame) So the test included tons of stuff like hose pulling, sledge hammer tire slam things, climbing ladders, a giant ass set of stairs you had to take a 50foot hose roll to the top of, a 160lb dummy drag, among other things… all of this while carrying an axe and wearing a Self Contained Breathing Aparatus (SCBA)
so the test starts off and I have to wait around for everyone to go cause I’m way at the back. All these kids (a lot of them are 18-20 year olds) are giving me a hard time and talking me up that i’ll smoke it and get the fastest time. I was trying to downplay it cause I had a hangover, didnt sleep much and didnt want all the pressure on me lulz. So as the times are going along the average is probably right around 9 minutes or so and I’m feeling good. Then this one kid pulls out a 7:45! Everyone is super impressed… he had a sleeveless shirt on and I was calling him sleeveless joe. It was pretty funny.
So sleeveless joe set the bar at 7:45 and that was the best time by a long shot for a while. Then my good buddy Andy gets up to go. He’s in real good shape and just ran a half marathon two weeks ago so I knew he’d be trouble. I’m definitely more of a short distance sprinter type than the longer one and I knew he’d get a good time with his conditioning level (Ink- Hes a former Marine Infantry guy too) So he goes flying through the course and finishes in 7:07! He smoked it! so all of this kept going on and no one else broke the 8 minute mark and the guys were giving me a hard time about get a 5something time and what not (which i was really trying to downplay) So it comes to me and EVERYONE is watching (cause of me getting the best time in last weeks comp too) I was nervesville fa show!
So I took of, trying to haul ass, and went through the course. Let me tell you what… it was HARD!!! I thought it would be not too bad but I was suckin wind halfway through. I meant to start my stopwatch so I could look down and check my time but in my excitement to get going I forgot to hit start. F! So I didnt know what my time was but there were a bunch of people following me the whole time and this one girl in my class actually followed me and filmed it on her iphone lulz. aaaaaanyway… I knew I was getting close to time and the dummy drag was the last event. My legs were burnin so bad by that point but I just finished strong, dropped the dummy and sprinted towards the finish line.
6:34! Booyah! It was awesome. I was super tired but thats two weeks in a row of dominating the competition. I wish thats how you got hired on somewhere. they just give you a physical agility test to do and fastest time gets a job… if that was the case I wouldnt be worried about getting hired on hahaha. So yeah that was my day. we all got dont testing and then got to leave early.
Gonna hit up a Padre game tonight with some friends and then we’re having a birthday BBQ at my new place tomorrow. It should be a good time! Thanks for reading my little story (if you actually read it. If not I dont really blame you) Sorry if the story sounds like I’m bragging or whatever… I’m just pretty excited to have gotten first again.
Take it easy!
Hell yeah brother, thats awesome.
Yes, I actually went through and read the story this time.
I’ll have to see what it feels like to attempt a 225 clean sometime, with my form I’m sure I’d look like (lemme think of something funny…) a seizing gorilla riding a jackhammer, but I’ll try it. A 315 clean would be badass, fo sho.
Talking about massages and being timed in “hose pulling” sounds pretty, erm, AWESOME haha.
Dude, you wrecked that thing! Where’s the video? Tell what’s her face to send that shit to you so we can all see you dominate…unless you’re lying, and you really didn’t even make it to the test because you were too hungover.

Fucker probably did it shirtless too, just for lulz and fap inducing bzzzzzzz
I don’t think you need much checking up brah 
And since were doing comments here’s one for you:
“Pain doesnâ??t tell you when you ought to stop. Pain is the little voice in your head that tries to hold you back because it knows if you continue you will change. Donâ??t let it stop you from being who you can be. Exhaustion tells you when you ought to stop. You only reach your limit when you can go no further.”

LOL yeah she can be forgiven that one time haha
Awesome time! I was trying so hard not to skip ahead and see how you smoked those bitches like beef jerky!
=D
LOL to the chick fapping to the video. I do that to Greg’s dunk vids, but they’re only 50 seconds FML
She got a whole 6 and a half minutes! Bitch.
In other news… We got our Save The Date video!!! My fiancés bro directs music videos and he did it all for us and it looks amazing! I’m so excited for it
Gregron! Great log over here. Savin’ lives too! And kickin’ butt on your physical agility test while hungover! Good work! I second Inky on the video. MUST SEE! And Maschy is talkin’ video up there but I don’t see one. Where’d it go?
Hehe, we did cindo do tacos over here too. My 7-year-old made a sombrero at school. Uber cute. My husband was trying to deprogram her by telling her we don’t really celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and there I was cooking tacos and saying everything with my best Spanish accent. BTW, do you know how to say Tacos in Spanish? Yeah, it’s “Tacos”. I’m damn near bilingual!
Boom! Smoked them mate well done!
Sounds like they put you some tough conditioning there, bet it’s good fun unless your hung over!
Sorry bro.

hahahaha I dont even want to talk about it.
I was getting dressed today and put on my vintage Lakers 1985 NBA champs shirt, checked my phone to see the score before halftime, took the shirt off and threw it in the dirty clothes… turrible
Yeah, I remember my first dunk…
…there never was one. Lol pretty badass man, all that unfunctional mass huh?
DF- thanks a lot man. I was pretty pumped afterwards.
Ink- Cleans are fun huh? I’m really excited about getting mine up. I’ve been working on my “catch” lately and its a lot better than before… my collarbone gets kinda banged up but its a lot more smooth than it was before when I had a deathgrip on the bar and was catching it away from my collarbone/neck/shoulders. I’ll see if I can get her to send me the video on friday.
Masch- hahaha I would be honored to be in your fap collection masch lol. I didnt do the course shirtless… maybe next time though
oregand- nice quote man! I like it. I definitely think I have the ability to push through when things get tough. I went through a lot of rough stuff in my military training so I’ve got a pretty good grasp on being able to keep going when I think i’m too tired to go… I like that quote.
Nikki- Thanks nikki… I did smoke em. It was fun. Looks like I’ll have to post longer videos for tha ladiezzzzz
PowerPuff- I’ll work on getting the video. It might be awkward to ask her but we’ll see if she still has it. the last video I posted was on the last page and it was of me dunking a volleyball. I havent done any videos of any lifts in a while… Maybe I’ll change that up soon. I love mexican food… I’d “celebrate” cinco de mayo every day if I could. Mexican is my favorite food.
MAsteve- yeah it was a pretty solid conditioning test. The stairs portion was the hardest part. Wearing the SCBA, holding the axe and running up the stairs with a hose bundle over your shoulder was rough but I think I made up a lot of time and that part cause most people couldnt keep running all the way too the top.
K-Man- hahahah I wouldnt put “all that mass” and myself in the same sentence lol. I was feeling good/ok about that dunk but I know that the outdoor rim is low… i measured it this morning and it was indeed low 
OK so I went and saw the new movie Thor yesterday… It was awesome AND it inspired me to kick up my training a notch cause the dude who played Thor was lookin beastly. I aspire to look that beastly. So this morning I got to the gym and did some morning cardio and will go back and hit the weights tonight.
i measured the rims at my gym and found out that they are in fact low. The outdoor rim was 9’8.5"s and the indoor rim that I jump on most of the time is 9’11.5"s… so the indoor rim was half an inch low and the outdoor rim was 3.5 inches low. kinda sucky to find out that they are low but I knew the outdoor one was low. Oh well… I’ll stick to the indoor rim for my jumps cause its almost a legit 10footer
Ok so thats the plan. Gonna be getting after it hard here to lean up a bit and try to get my sexy on. Will keep you all posted on whats going down! I think I’m out of my training funk now and I’m ready to go. Breakin necks and cashin checks!
I’d like to see how you clean, because I’m a freakin hot mess when I do it. Glad to hear you’ve climbed out of your funk.

Maybe I’ll get a video of a heavy clean soon. The only one I have now is from that C&P challenge thread where it was 135 clean n press for max reps in two minutes. not really the best vid for form when its a light weight like that
on a completely unrelated note to training I didnt get much sleep last night. I woke up a little after midnight cause I heard a crashing noise outside of our bedroom. it woke me and my fiance up. I keep my Surefire G2 flashlight and my Gerber F.A.S.T. knife on my bedside table along incase someone breaks in. I dont own a gun but have these on hand incase something happens like a break in. After I heard the noise I got up and readied my gear. The flashlight is insanely bright and would completely blind anyone who got it in the eyes.
I crept out of the bedroom ready to light some robber up… it was going to be a bad day for that dude. I ended up checking the entire house and cleared every room before I found that a shelf had fallen off the wall in our storage room. I picked up the mess and then headed back to bed. I told my fiance what had happened and she went right back to bed. I, on the other hand, could not fall back asleep because I was so amped up and wired lol. I was a little disappointed that I didnt find anyone but it was probably a good thing. Anyway… I couldnt really fall back asleep for a while cause I had a serious adrenaline rush going.
Pretty funny story I thought.
Dude, those Surefire lights are retardely bright. Sick blade you got there too. I had picked up a Gerber multi-tool that has the slide out plier tips, got it just for my trip, and it’s fucking gone! I think someone jacked it out of my car or some shit, so I’m pissed off and don’t want to buy another one!
I’ve totally done the “clear every room in the house” before, after hearing stuff. Adrenaline is a great feeling, when you can harness it propery and not freak out.
