Maybe she’s attracted to men who shit themselves when they squat?
3 x 500 is crazy. Crazy! Wow. Nice, nice work. [/quote]
Well Snap if she is…That’s would be one strange fetish on her part. I’m all for a kinky gal but I think Id have to draw the line there. I’m surprise your the only one that has mentioned the little sound bite I had at the end of the clip. I thought my wife’s remark was funny as hell.
I think the crazy part was that my body before hand was saying No No No. But I was just mentally in that zone.
Re: your son
Wow that kid is a monster on the mat. Sure he’s good, but if he wants to play with the best, he has to expect to get humbled once in a while. That is no excuse to quit. Kids with his potential don’t get permission to waste their gifts. Stick to your guns and don’t give him permission. Tell him I think he’s fantastic, and if I was anywhere within in driving distance I’d drive to the damned state championships to watch it.
Re: genetics
I have lousy genetics. I really do. Untrained I have a tubby torso, and skinny limbs. I got a wide pelvis and narrow clavicles, long bicep bellies, and lousy quad insertions. In other words, I’m a solid 6/10 with regards to bodybuilding structure. I consider myself a reasonable example of what you can do if you ignore the hand you’ve been dealt and work your ass off. Every muscle I have was a fight.
Re: Your squat vid.
Not only is the do-rag scorchingly sexy, That was a f##king amazing triple. Much respect.

Absolutely agree. Those of us who have to tough it out build some serious determination, and we can’t bear the sight of a gifted person making excuses.
BTW Kent, excited that you’re entering a bodybuilding contest with all you’ve had to overcome.
Interesting you mentioned the do-rag, I was looking a little lower. Dog, nothing say strongman to me like a really thick neck.

re:son
Hes not quiting anything. Just doesn’t want to do the state meet. As he puts it his Jr.High season is over. Unfortunately, the coach who was going to be at Matt side had to back out.So that put the whammy on us taking him. Other wise I would have drug him there if he liked it or not.Ill send him your praise.
Re: Genetics
Love the attitude. People would be way ahead of the curve if they would adopt that attitude.
Re: squat video
thanks, damn straight do rags rock

I said a LITTLE lower.
And I do believe a thick, muscular neck really shouts to the world that you have real strength. Can’t stand the bodybuilders with good arms, good abs, good lats . . . but have pencil necks.

x2. LOL! Agree with Cav, thick necks are awesome.
Your comment was funny as heck, but I didn’t really know what to say if you know what I mean? Didn’t catch your wife’s response though, is it rated PG and eligible to be posted publicly?

Well you guys got me curious …so I just measured my neck. Is 21 inches respectable?
Deadlift:( all sets no Belt)
135 x 2 x 5
225 x 5
260 x 5
310 x 4
360 x 3
410 x 2
465 x 1…It wasn’t hard but it didnt feel light. very weired I plenty of power but I felt fatigued in my upper back.
410 x 5…I was thinking I was good for 8 at least but Mondays squatting caught up with me.The rest of the session really slowed down.
Stiff leg deads: 335 x 10
DB rows: 110 x 20… I started using 135 but damn after a few reps I decided to drop down.
Pull downs: 4 x 10 x SW
Shrugs: 3 x 15 x 345
Standing ab crunches: 5 x 10
I cant complain. I figured after Monday squat mania Id pay for it. Which I did .Damn my old age.

Yep, that’ll do.
Probably the deadlifts are working it, I noticed my neck started to grow after hitting DL’s. One of the fun things of squatting in front of a mirror, you really see it.
Well its been one hell of a long day. Got up and left town at 7:30 for a 96 mile pilgrimage up North. Which was a so wonderful trip due to fog and less then accurate directions from Google.
There was a decent amount of lifter there considering it was a state meet. I believe there was between 35 and 40 lifters in total, with the Meet lasting a little over 5 and a half hour, not a bad amount of time. During that time I realized how bloody boring a actually meet can be when one isn’t a actual participant. Note to N.A.S.A you guys might want to do like some Feds do and have a projector set up with the soft ware that shows the order of the lifters there attempts and their current total and position.
I would also like to add STOP with the Kilo crap! Quit calling out the lifters attempts to the crowd at hand in Kilos!! For one, no one has a clue and I can’t do the conversions to pounds that fast.
I was also starting to get a little annoyed with the judging. Of course you see that at any meet in any Fed. But can they at least be a little more consistent. I saw lifts that there was no way in hell I would pass. While other were turned down, for reason that escaped me.
On a good note for N.A.S.A, it would appear they are getting ready to be the only game in town, at least in Indiana. One of the lifters informed me that SLP is almost done and ready to fold. While the other formal dominate Fed USAPL has become a non entity in the state. There is definitely a opportunity for N.A.S.A to fill the void. That is if they have any common sense about it.
I can say that N.A.S.A in Indiana is definitely becoming unequipped dominate. Out of all the lifter there today only one was in gear, he was bench only.
I had a chat with the Meet director. He confirmed with me that that he plans on getting a team of lifters together and doing the USA Nationals in June over in Ohio. I will give you three guesses whom is one of the team member is.
After watching the other lifters today, I’ve came up with a few observations regarding by own lifts.
Squats: not super but pretty darn respectable
Bench: pretty darn good for a full Meet lifters and not being a specialist.
Deads: Mediocre at best if not blah
On a good note I made a new friend. A gentleman there started up a conversation with me. He was lifting in the Power sport division. Which is Curls (don’t ask) Bench and Dead lift done without any wraps wrist or knee wraps, just belt. He asked me if I would give him a lift off when he was on the platform. I’m a nice guy and I said sure. He ended up curling 145, Benching 245 and dead lifting 385 at 174 lbs. The amazing thing about his performance was his age, he was 72! Let me repeat that HE WAS 72!!! All I have to say is ROCK THE FUCK ON!!! Let that be a lesson to all of us. Especially those of us in the Over 35 crowd then next time anyone of us wants to complain about age.
