Impressive bench sir. Stretching the tris like that does change the feel of the exercise. Were you gyrating on the smith machine to impressive the ladies at the gym??

1063

I’m with eco, bad ass benching.

Hey Harry,

I’m all excited to mess around with some hg stuff. looks like less opportunity to hurt my knee than with strongman. Also, I have been thinking all last night about awesome ways I can fab fake hg implements for super cheap.

I have a big-ass field out behind the parking lot at work, so I can throw at lunch (been wantin to get a flippin tire, but no way to get it here). I’ll keep you posted on my implement creation.

thanks elder cousin!
old lardass

MJ, nother link in your thread for some ghetto implements.
That’s it Steve. Caught a couple of hot 70 year olds looking my way after.
Thanks Joe, haven’t been getting many good sessions in during the throwing season. Felt good.
Tonight, threw the shot
Long swim.

Thanks Steely, Colin, Skip. Amazing the affect lifting with a group can have on your workouts.
Steve, old Arnie knew how to impress the ladies. Reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillys episode with Dave Draper on it and Granny was trying to cure him cause he was all “swole up form having the barbells”.

Got a pretty good mix of heavy lifters, bbers, young jocks, and old farts where I work out, bdog. If the benchs or racks are being used we just jump in with the group. Most everyone knows each other so it’s not usually a problem. Course when one of the kids you’re benching with says “grandma says she went out with you in High School” (happened the other night) it might be time to find an older crowd to lift with.
Rugplayer, “No, son, those are ribs”, best line I’ve heard in a long time. I plan to use it soon and often.
Kinda went on a tear today. Woke real early, hit the river for a swim, threw the shot as the sun was coming up. Wife woke up and we headed to the gym.

You do some impressive lifting and throwing in here!! I know more than a few people that could learn a great many things from reading this…

1077

Great work. You earned your breakfast. Although, it looks like you could have used a few pancakes to go along with the rest of it. It is tough to call it a breakfast without pancakes.

1078

I was pokin around on youtube and found something you might like. Hope you haven’t seen them yet.

1079

harry, i bought all my stuff. i’ll be griping about how short my throws are in the next couple days.

impressionable lil me, just got a new bad habit. thanks!

1080

Harry, is there usually an actual shot put ring to throw the stones out of as in the video, or is it more often like what I saw at the one here in Las Vegas where they just chalk a ring in the grass?

Too bad they don’t give discounts for recruiting new throwers. You’ve got at least two of us interested.
