Oh well I am doing another one in October called the Gateway Naturals for sure, will keep everyone posted if you like!!!

Thats a real shame Arch, but you never know, they might only delay it for a couple of weeks.

I would LOVE to hear how you're getting on for the show in October. Two comps in a year is waaaaay cool

countryboy · 04-10-2008, 09:09 AM

Sorry to hear about the show being postponed... Kinda sucks. I am learning on how you guys time everything out. You definitely have my utmost (sp?)respect for your discipline!

Will be following along anyway... No slacking!!

I asked how long he would be as I only had 1 set and could I possibly work in, he said "I'll take as long as i take", my partner knew I was gonna unload so he stepped in and said, fine, now get to work on them pea shooters would ya!!! I was SO mad until he said that, I just lost it!!! Sorry to ramble, I do not like getting upset but this guy just about pushed my button!!!

lol, i would totally have unloaded on that guy too. you did well, AA. i can't believe you didn't smite him.

people really can screw up your concentration huh? and it's always hard for me to get myself back in the zone once i'm distracted. hang in there, man. sorry to hear about the contest being delayed...

hahaha, 'peashooters', hahahah.

b_reed23 · 04-10-2008, 10:28 PM

all that, and I STILL can't beleive your doing 540lb for a WARMUP!!!

Scarface30 · 04-11-2008, 03:15 PM

don't get me started on the morons taking up the squat cage to "pump their guns". IDIOTS! worse yet though is that buddy didn't have weight on his bar...

solid workouts in here though Arch, you'll be ready for your show in no time. great stuff

I hate the angled squat rack, btw. Never feels right. I think it's because they are a little more narrow, and I don't feel I can really spread my hands out (I like them right up against the plates). Plus the walking backwards under load is just dumb. Poor design all around.

Yeah I should have!!! That design is the worse peice of equipment I have tried in quite a while, never again!!!
