So does that mean you’re awesomely stuck in Tejas? Or that you’re sad you couldn’t go to Idontknowwtf-istan.

Either way, lift moar. I accidentally read your CGBP of 195x5 as your strict press and was all “OH WTFBULLSHIT.” Glad I was wrong, because I’d have had to go try it and be mad if I missed.

Nice work, as always. And thanks for the shoe rec.[/quote]

I’m mad because this was going to be a kick ass mission and I was finally going to be the team lead. But, I’m here in TX and doing my thing. Getting stronger and sexier by the minute. Yeah, my strict press is shit. I should be doing my 1RM days for 3 or 4. I’m not sure where, but I just effed some S up and I’m getting it fixed. All my lifts are progressing pretty well now and I’m working on just staying consistent until the meet in COCKtober. Freedom doesn’t sleep and justice never pulls out. Remember that!

When is the meet again? I’m lazy in the mornings. I am going to talk to the powerlifting crew and see if they’re going again this year. If so, I may tag along to run handler for everyone and take care of the little shit. You know what that means: T-Nation MEET UP.[/quote]

It’s COCKtober 20th. I posted a link a week or two ago. Should be in my log a page or so back. Dude, my crew and I are already planning our road trip out there. It would be sick to meet up with some guys that we know. We plan to stay the night and have our way with Arkansas. Last time I was there, debauchery was in full effect! haha I’m super pissed I missed the national SPF meet.

I would have taken 1st in the 198’s and second in the 220’s. The numbers aren’t really great but it woulda been cool to go and wreck some shit. If I hit the numbers I know I’m capable of, I’ll def be looking to hit up a strongman comp next year around spring-time. I was less than happy with my so-so last meet.

Increasing my man-quotient today. Fired my M4 and M9; qualified expert, of course. I have eaten 4 different animals so far. Going to bench here in a few and I’m building a platform to hold that reverse hyper in place tonight with a buddy and some brews. Gonna be a good day!!

If I see a bear, you better believe I’m going to wrestle that muuhhfugga!

FARMERS WALKS

Did relays with my teammates. 8 trips total with a 45 loaded on each side of the handles. Will do way heavier next time.

CURLS

NOTES:

Bench is still progressing. I have some stupid technique stuff that was noticed today. I’ll fix it. I need to get stronger. Got some good advice from Rip today, too. I like going later in the day when I can hear him yelling at kids! haha

Farmers walks were hella fun. Looking forward to doing them more often. I have no idea how much weight is supposed to be heavy. I flipped the big tire today. Not sure how heavy it is, but it’s about hip height and pretty solid. ???

Training is getting way better. I like where my mind is right now. I lost a few pieces of extra baggage that were dragging me down. I have no time for selfish people in my life. If I’m going to give myself to be in your life, I expect a little of the same in return. Not because I deserve it, but because I feel you do.

SQUAT TOMORROW, BITCHES!

I have a good bit of difficulty with the 265 farmers. For your weight, typical contests with a lighter farmers will be around 230 lbs or so, and heavier farmers will be 250 or more.

So you’re saying I need to be doing 3 bills plus? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!

My traps and delts feel AMAZINGLY sore today! Love it! Had a giant breakfast burrito, milk, FA3, Flameout, and some Circumin. I feel pumped and tiger like. Good stuff.

Damn I wish I had a reverse hyper in my house…that would be sweet!

Looks like things are going well in here…carry on

LIFE NEWS (bandwagon):

Broke up with my pretend long distance girlfriend. She was dragging me down and was super self absorbed. Finally ran out of patience. Other than that, things are going awesome. Got a coin from the One-star General on base the other day for some stuffs I did.

Looking forward to COCKtober! :slight_smile:

Our band holder!

What’s a pretend long distance girlfriend???

I hate me some self absorbed bithes. Sorry things didn’t work out though.

I was sorta involved long distance with this guy once. He’d come home from work every few weekends and would go out, get pissed drunk and then come to my place at like 3am and have 30 second sexual intercourse with me. Then he would pass out, eat my eggs for breakfast, and then go out with his buddies the following afternoon.

UM YA. He was funny sometimes though, uhg.

She would pretend to be my girlfriend when it was convenient for her. I suppose it’s for the best. It’s just been a long time since I wasn’t the reason a relationship ended. I guess it’s good to see both sides.

That guy sounds like a huge winner.

It just depends… There are a few places to get some good food (burgers, specifically), the AF base I’m stationed at, Midwestern University, night life is a few bars, pretty decent metal/hardcore shows come here, a few other rock-type bands, ummmm…, stuff. haha My backyard where grilling magic happens. That’s about it.

And Wiggles hit it on the nose. We are small in number, but we represent well. haha

The sale of the weights fell through. :frowning:
