I think I've done a good job working to this meet, but only time will tell. I got some pics of me squatting today. Monday morning I'll be all moved into my place in Sacramento and I'll download the images from the camera. Two of them suck, one does a good job emphasizing form stuff. |

I wonder what else you lied about .http://www.usapl-ca.org/results/results.html |

I could have guessed it since some of my good friends are "real powerlifters" and have been in the magazine power lifting USA. (damn, I feel like Johnny now.....lol). This guy didn't seem like a powerlifter at all. I just thought a lot of this was bull shit. |

This guy didn't seem like a powerlifter at all. I just thought a lot of this was bull shit. the sadest part is that he seemed like a smart dude. I mean hell if you are knowledagble who cares what you look like or what you can lift. You can still help people out with their training. I don't understand the whole lying and putting up a front thing? I am not the stongest guy here and I don't have the best physique but I never pretend to be something I am not and it doesn't stop me from givining others advice to help them meet their goals and I don't think those that are better than me in these catergories worry that I am not that strong or that I don't look that great. The still take or ask for my advice. I am proud of myself for what I have accomplished and I am excited to see how much more I can do. I wonder what poor guy's leg that is in the ER?? |

Just curious though, what tipped you off about his front? I seriously had not the slightest idea. Also, what about his old journal is so telling? |

I mean, yeah, you have to eat for size but c'mon.....not even any gains in water weight. He just stayed 200lbs. I don't know, something just didn't add up to me. It was fishy. The vagueness of all of his past competitions....."I'll get a video up" where is the video? His first contest, hurting his ankle before it so he couldn't squat or deadlift....no results posted after that first contest, just excuses. I mean shit. If I came in last place I'd say..."I came in last place"
