Wow, great to see everyone! I didn’t realize we had so many Coloradans here.
The date issue was always a bugger.
What do you all think of just making it a standing date - say the second and fourth Saturday afternoons of the month (or something like that). We all touch base via PM a few days before to get a final tally on who’s available, where to meet and what to do? That way it’s no biggie for people to miss one particular get-together and also no need to stress over organizing everyone and everything each time. [/quote]
I was thinking maybe monthly or quarterly, but yes, that’s a great idea.
I think having a standing day and location is a great idea. That way if you can come one day but not another, just PM us and no big deal. It sounds like we all have enough “toys” that we can probably just meet at a park and set up a pretty decent GPP circuit. I’ll most likely just bring my KB handle with plates so everyone can adjust the weight and one large 85# KB which can be carried like a rock and dragged in addition to the standard KB stuff. Who else can bring something? What is everyone’s preference for location?
Great idea, Karma. This is probably the best way to ensure at least some of us get together on a regular basis.
Unfortunately, I have no equipment to offer, sorry. As far as location, it doesn’t matter too much to me but I would think it’d be a place where most people wouldn’t have to drive too far would be best, what with the increasing gas prices and all.
Following up on the Bench meet here, if anyone is interested:
October 8
Weigh in 0830 - 0945
Lift 1000
IMPORTANT: This is not a true powerlifting style bench meet. Your score is the percentage of your bodyweight you can bench.
There ar four classes for each gender; Novice(unequiped), Open, Master (38+) and Teen (16 - 19). Minimum of 5 contestants per class. It doesn’t say what happens if a class is short but I assume you get lumped in with open.
Entery fee is $30 prio to Oct 3. After which it is $40. Everyone gets a T-shirt. First place in each class gets a prize. There is also a grand prize. ( I can’t find that on the entry form in front of me but I’m pretty sure I read it on the poster board at the gym.
For entry form call:
Tiffany 970-542-0180
Tara 303-655-8382
There is one snafu. I can’t find the location on the entry form. It may have been on the posterboard at the gym. The meet is put on by The Body Firm Fitness Center who has two locations. There website does not appear to be working right now. If people want I can find out and post, otherwise you canask when you call for a form.
I have no idea if it is annual, your best bet is to a call and ask. This will be my only comp ever in CO. I haven’t competed before and I’m moving away in October. In fact I postponed my trip back to Baltimore by a day so I could do this.
If I had to guess I’d say this may be a promotional event for a new gym, trying to get people to see it and maybe sign up. So it may be one time.
Hey fellow Colorado T-peeps, been on Haidas for a spell with incredible stuff going on.
Would be great to see Colorado people. To bad I let my boat go. Would have been a fun day to play on the boat with every one. At least 16 anyway. Oh well.
As for a tough-man gig? …rotflmao… I’m out ,but would be willing to take the pics. Ask ~k~ I take some great pics. 23rd works for me for now. Unless I am teaching/debriefing/ or mentoring.

Welcome back, Bohdi. You should try the strongman workout. I’ve never done any strongman stuff (except for some farmer walks with DB’s) but I think it’d be cool to try some new exercises, even if I’m not very good at it.
I’m making an executive decision and setting a date/place.
Sunday, Sept 25. Noon at Clement Park, Littleton.
So far, Djwlfpack and I will be attending. Who else will join?
Since we’ve got folks all over the metro area, I figure we’ll take turns hosting. This gig will be near Dj and I, whoever shows up can draw straws (or max pullups) to get to have it on their side of town next.
After we’re thoroughly wiped out, we’ll be heading to Buffalo Wild Wings for …cough…ahem, refreshments. I had voted for Hooters but Dj pointed out that their staff ain’t exactly qualified to be employed at such a place. True, true dat, so BW3 it is.
If anyone needs directions, PM me.
Please chime in if you’re planning on making it - and on what equipment you can bring for the strongman stuff, if any.
hhmm…well for equipment I can bring my truck…that’s it. Or an engine block sitting out of my car…Although I’m not sure what we can do with that…Just working out the details with the wife but I think I should be able to come.
I most likely will be out of town and returning Sunday the 25Th.I can make the " after the gig gig “. Because I will be back in D-town around 3-4pm. So you may have to have someone else take the daytime pics for the tuff guy/chik stuff. What time did you have in mind for the " after the gig gig?”
I’m in for sure, even though I will miss the nascar race. I can bring the stone for sure, and if people want, a tire and keg. Let me know, should be fun. Now everyone fuckin commit!
I work until 7 in the morning and go back to work at 8:30 pm on sunday…I am friends with two other cops that read t-nation like a bible and I will try to get them to come…no promises though. They are on the same schedule I am on.
This is a great idea and fully support it and will try to make it.
