Beast Wants More Trophies

[CowPimp]

The first one was APA. The second was unsanctioned RAW which I liked. There's another unsanctioned RAW coming up April 15 I plan on competing in. We should do it together!!!

That'd be cool. That would be perfect on the timing. It would give me a chance to build up some strength and test the waters with my shoulder and maximum effort training. What's the name of the federation? Is that USAPL? I was browsing around last night looking at comps.

 

[gwcaton]

Thanks Gary. The next Comp is April 15.

Hey thats the day before my B-day !

Give 'em hell

When are you going to revive your journal?

Dunno man, I am just in a rut now, and can't get the grove going on. Just keep pushing it back

Cool, let's do it then. No, it's not USAPL. It's unsanctioned which means it's not affiliated with any federation. We have quite a few of those around here throughout the year. It's in a dumpy little Rec center that doesn't have a lot of room. BUT, you can do the lifts

Alright, well this one will be dedicated to you then!!!!

I know how that is. Maybe you need to look at priorities in your life and see where lifting fits. I have to do that every now and then. It must be much harder with a child and travel. Not to mention being a Canadian

That's just a funny coincidence because USAPL has a competition on the 15th in Mechanicsville. Do you have a link with information about this one? Also, so I can properly train, is the bench press done touch-and-go style or do they enforce the pause?

I'm doing good Gary!!! How goes it with you!

Here is the link to my team. If you click on events it lists quite a few. The one I'm planning on is near the bottom. Are you thinking of doing the Mechanicsville one instead? The Bench is a mix between the touch and go and pause. You do have to hold it until they say press....but usually they say it right when you get down there. Not bad at all.

You didn't actually put up a link. It sounds good though; I would certainly be interested.

LOL, 1 hour of walking cardio is very doable for me. I can take a nap while I walk

Yeah, that Kerry is VERY SHARP!!!! However her husband is always winning all the bench competitions himself. He's about my size thickness wise but with arms the size of trees!!!

 

[Rocco32]

Cool, let's plan on it then! Another question for you. Would you ever want to start benching with a bench shirt?

 

[CowPimp]

Cool, let's plan on it then! Another question for you. Would you ever want to start benching with a bench shirt?

Never; I am against most all lifting aids. In the interest of safety, I think some are okay: lifting belt, heated knee pads, etc. However, I feel the whole safety aspect of lifting suited is ridiculous. Yeah, a bench shirt might help prevent against a pec tear, but that probably isn't an issue unless you are juicing. I have never heard of a natural trainee experiencing a pec tear.

Why do you ask?

 

[P-funk]

cool. you guys are going to compete together. when is the meet?

 

[CowPimp]

cool. you guys are going to compete together. when is the meet?

April 15th. I'm going to get raped, but it will be fun.

 

[P-funk]

[CowPimp]

how far is the meet from NYC?

Probably a 4.5 hour drive or so.
