Damnm bro next time dont be so wordy you spared no detail on recapping the fun you had LOL

Phill

Um yeah, it was late…

I got in when Hatebreed was starting on on the 2nd stage which was the plan, that was an intresting site, they played on a stage in a dirt parking lot next to the ampitheare… the Mosh was HARDCORE I went a couple circles in it but the dust was to much, I didn’t want to be a complete dusty mess for the next 5-6 hours I was going to be there. Lots of fights broke out, people coming out of the pit puking, lol

Lordi opened up the main stage, my friend had 4 ticket to the show, but 2 where for the grass and 2 where seats in the first section, Well he printed the tickets out online, me and my friend used the 2 tickets for the grass section that where far away than used copys of the tickets to the seats to get down there, worked out great! sitting up in the grass would have sucked.

Lordi put on a great show, I have no idea how they performed in 80% sun in those costumes…

Static X was awesome not much to say.

Lamb of God was well Lamb of God of course they where awesome. there was a pit up on the grass me and my friend decided to go up there for Lamb of God but after almost breaking my ankle for the 8th time decided a pit on a slippery steep grass SLOPE is not a good idea.

Ozzie is old, it was awesome to see him live as I never have before and I think this is his last tour. But he is 65+ I believe and didn’t sound the best. I think there was a problem with the bass in the speakers as well which was more noticeable with Ozzie’s type music than the other bands.

As always I am a fat chick magnet I had this 40 year old mess coming on to me for half the damn concert and trying to pawn her daughter off on me who in her pink shirt had the same shape as a swiss ball. My friends thought it was hiliarious, I ended up pretending to be asleep during the last part of Ozzie so she would stop grabing my arms and my ass…

Got to love lines like

“Don’t worry I’m not coming on to you, I’ve been happily married for 14 years… But whatever happens happens”

“I am staying at X Hotel, what are you doing after the show? My husband would kill me but I don’t care.”

She than goes and tells me her friend had a modeling agency and she could probaly “get me into modeling” and uh yeah “they might even sponsor you for some liposuction.”

This got me pretty pissed off… WTF I told her I train for performance not to look pretty and I accomplish everything I do through hardwork not fucking surgery… Are you kidding me? Some people need to look in the mirror.

I woke up felling like shit today at about 1:00PM and decided I would go pick up these tires I found in a field the owenr said I could have, went up to my moms ranch, picked up my little brother and my 12ft long dump trailer with 5ft tall sides, of course my mom had filled it up with trash…

made the battery would raise it, went to the dump… at the dumb a little bit before it was fully tilted the battery died and only about 1/4 of the garbage would fall out. There isn’t much worse than having a dump trailer knowing it should take about 2 minutes at the dump and still having to unload it by hand.

Of course I brought no brooms shovels or anything useful because I have a dump trailer! After unloading about 2 tons of stuff I got on the road. I have no idea wtf I was thinking. This tire I decided I wanted I think was a 26.5-25 probaly around 1,000lbs maybe more.

Oh yea that will be easy to load up with no tools or anything and just me and my 135lb brother… Well I got that done than grabed a 23.5-25 which felt LIGHT which took about 1/10th the time.

Wrap up, My neck hurts very bad from head banging, Two ME days followed by some moshing and lots of head banging has left me felling the opposite of good but I got some real tires now for training and saw a badass concert for free.

Well I need to go eat a couple babies or something now or something as all I have had today was a foot long tuna from subway.

Oh yea thanks Phill for checking that out for me, you will love that log, I was told it weighs 90lbs but mine weighs in at 93 or 94 ussally[/quote]

Fun post!

Lamb of God is awesome and I’m glad your not considering the liposuction

And stay away from daughters shaped like swiss balls. They can be a real pain in the ass from what I hear.

Thanks it was an odd but fun time.

Don’t worry it is physically impossible for me to procreate with swiss ball shaped girls, my “brain” has some sort of standards. Don’t ask how I know…

Also I remembered when Lordi was starting some mom was screaming at me and threw water on me because her son couldn’t see and I guess he didn’t want to stand up? They where about 5 rows back and there was plenty of room to either side of them. I told them as politley as I can potray over loud metal this is fucking Ozzfest.

She later apoligized to me and said it was just because her son was driving her nuts about it, control your kids don’t let them control you!

People…

[Phill]

NIce sounds like a blast and great you got to see Ozzy pre rigin death if that guy can die LOL I saw him first time prob 15 years ago. still the loudest show ive seen and it was outdoors he’s a hell of a showman for sure

14

Chest sup Rear Delt Unilaterals
25 lbs (4 x 10)
Last 2 sets were basically elbows out rows

Notes:
Yeah yeah… Going for a bench PR alone is not the smartest thing to do. Anyway, I was PO’ed that I’ve not hit a PR on Bench in a long time. I’m hitting every other PR, but not bench.

So I decided this was it - I HAD to get it or I’d be stuck on the bench and have to dump the bar to the side. So… forcing myself to get the lift really didn’t work. My left shoulder was a little tender for a few days but otherwise I was unhurt.

1-Arm Cable Rows - I now have around a minute of rest between doing the left and right side. Then I have a few minutes of rest before starting again.

[buckeye75]

Here are my last two training days prior to vacation:

D/E Lower
1)Hang Clean: 135x3x2, 185x3, 205x3, 225x2, 245x2x3
2)Revere Lunges: 40x8x2
3)Band Pullthroughs: GBx12x3
4)Wrist Roller: 2 sets (25lbs)
5)Side Bends: 85x8x2 (each side twice)
6)Reverse Crunches: 2x15

M/E Upper
1)Close Grip One Board (Paused): Barx10x2, 95x10, 135x5, 155x5, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5, 245x4/2

Really felt like crap those two days. The knee/hammys/wrist really felt like crap. O well I just needed to since I was going on vacation the next week.

Just got back from vacation where I did nothing but sit around and eat crap food and drink beer. Getting after it Monday, not sure what exercises I am going to use yet, I’ll figure it out.

[Phill]

Good lord bro lots of PR’s in there killing those high rep Tate presses

I didn’t want to make a thread just for a small question of mine, so I figured thiswould be the best place to ask it.

Does anyone know what the raw Bench and Deadlift records are?

Thanks

Scott Mendelson on bench at 705

Andy Bolton holds the raw deadlift record at something around 961

I am pretty sure about this

Scot Mendelson benched 715 lbs as a SHW a couple years ago. Not sure about deadlift record. I’m sure its probably in the 900s somewhere. Deadlift suit doesn’t do much for conventional pull (50# maybe), so Andy Bolton’s 1003 lb deadlift from last year is the most awesome IMO.

Light Events July 21st

Got my new log : ) these Saturdays are going to be more speed, conditioning, technique etc based Also had a partner for about half of it good times eh�??

1)Tire
400 x some warm ups

140 x 5
160 x 5

Really need to just work on my Push press and clean form. Im about as explosive as Shrek. Stopped at the 200 but all cleans felt good will try going up next Thursday a bit heavier and need to keep it low on this day and really try and get technique down. Also think im mentally whipped Im thinking to darn much and need to just LIFT the thing

“Ni Hao” from hot and humid Taiwan. We arrived last night after 13+ hours of flying and another 3 hours of driving. It’s always nice to board the plane on Friday afternoon and reach your destination on Saturday night. I hate time differences. When we landed around 8pm local time, it was 31C (~88F) with very high humidity. I’m going to miss sunny and DRY San Diego.

Congratulations on your new toy! Looks like things are coming together for you lately, with the shower, the gallery, and now a new log. Talk about having plenty of new fun.

[Phill]

Thanks jthsiao. Have fun in Taiwan. Have to LOVE the flight mine was 16hours nice layover on the way back in Taipei. Most I saw of Taiwan

7/21/07
ME Lower

12" Box Squat
45x10
135x5
225x5
315x1
365x1
385x1
415x0
415x0 I was pissed.
Got rid of the box.
225x20

Deadlift
225x5
315x2
365x1
405x1
455x5x1

Single Leg Calf Raise
20,18,18

Weighted Crunches
30x10,10,10

Back Extension
10,10,10

Not too pleased with the results today.I’m really not sure what happened with the squat workout. I tried to punish myself with the 20 rep set, but it wasn’t nearly heavy enough for the punishment I deserved, so I decided to make something of the workout with some ~90% deadlift singles. This was my first time using the weighted crunch bench. My hands were hurting a bit (along with my vagina) from the deadlifting, so I did the crunches instead of hanging leg raises. I’ll add more weight next time.

[Phill]

Just got word from the Teen nationals and Midwest open. Of Note Big John Conner who injured his back at the Missouri Strongest man bounced back to edge out Eric Todd for the win in the HW class of the open. Two yes two competitors blew bicep tendons on same I did stones. Heres a hope for a speedy recovery

Overall LW went to Tyson.

HW Teen went to Zak Nims.

LW Teen I can see him, but I can’t remember his name.
