I'm thinking about re-directing IE users to the original page as punishment.

I don't think that will make them learn, re-direct them to the chrome download page.

[Link815]

I'm going to send it to Myles Kantor so you guys can hate the IPF together.

Haha, well that's usually subtly in a banner at the top

I know a couple of people who just don't bother doing styles for <IE8 and just put either no stylesheet or do it all in ironic black and white block colours and terminal/courier Keep meaning to do one like that.

[koyongi]

Dragged it kicking and screaming away from the nightmarish fax based styling you'd gone for?

It wasn't kicking and screaming, it was a happy makeover.

It's alot better now.

I wanted to bang my head through a wall trying to read it before, I was ADD'ing like crazy.

yeah thats a LOT better

Agreed.

Sooo...

As my birthday weekend extravaganza is winding down, I thought I'd post an update.

Thursday afternoon, I drove to St. Louis, flew to Oakland, and drove to Alameda.
I stopped by Trader Joe's and Safeway to pick up snacks, and headed to my aunt's house.
Hung out with them for a while, went to bed.

Friday, I began my birthday celebration by going to San Jose to weigh in, tipping the scales at a whopping 125.6. Not unhappy with that at all, but didn't want to bother to cut to 123. Went over to the Crossfit Regional to watch Brethren compete and to see everyone. Had a fun afternoon hanging out with everyone there, then headed back to Oakland to pick up our bibs for the 5k. Ate Tea Leaf Salad at Burma Superstar and it was outstanding.

Saturday, headed over to Diablo. Saw lots of friends, met some new people, had a really good time.
Squats: 265, 281, 292.
Bench: 203, 220, miss 231.
Deadlift: 319, 341, miss 352.
854 total, PR.
Drove back to Alameda. The view coming out of the tunnel on 24 was amazing.
Carbed up on pasta and chocolate cheesecake, went to bed.

Today, woke up headed over to the park for the 5K.
Kept up with Catherine for a while, then ventured off on my own.
Finished in 27:41, which was an 8:55 mile pace. My goal was 9:00 miles, so I was very happy!
Got done, had brunch, got a pedicure, and went to see sushi Jumi.

Flying home tomorrow. It's been a good weekend!

Your the man!

in and subbed

[fitlover]

Have you been cutting, Becks? (sorry if I missed that earlier if you mentioned it)

Also, awesome lifts.

[ohltown]

Nice job dude.

[KimValentine]

It was great watching you lift. Your 231 bench was ridiculously easy for a third attempt/PR regardless of the red lights.

[BigLarge]

Thanks!

Why hello!

Have you been cutting, Becks? (sorry if I missed that earlier if you mentioned it)

Not really. I've been eating better and running more - hopefully I'll be able to keep that up for a while! And thanks.

Nice job dude.

Thanks, bro.

Thanks! It was fun watching you lift as well. Even your 4th attempt.

Ask and ye shall receive.

[dtaps24]

Good job. Did your ass really come off the bench?

[maybesew]

Thanks and thanks! It was a good one.

I haven't been reading this board. I didn't know you were going ot be at regionals, I was a judge all weekend. I judged Brethren athletes a few times

[koyongi]

I don't think it came completely off, but eh. Next time.

Is that guy seriously spotting you on the deadlift or just checking out your squat booty?

[Big Sexy J]

I am liking the powerbuilding. :lovestruck:

[SophieM]

That 231 bench did look really easy, especially for a 3rd. Next time. When is next time?

[koyongi]

More than one person fell down while deadlifting on Saturday, the back spotter on deadlift actually got used! But, I do have some pretty epic "back spotter checking out squat booty" pictures that have been captured over the years, this one probably being my favorite. Oh, Putt, how we love you.

I am liking the powerbuilding. :lovestruck:

I'm not sure how I'm liking it. It's making me sore! I'll probably stick with it though July, and then really start getting ready for the Olympia.

That 231 bench did look really easy, especially for a 3rd. Next time. When is next time?

Well, I'll do a push-pull at the end of July, which is pretty informal, but notorious for giving you a three-second pause on bench. So, I may shoot for 225/235 there, we'll see! After that will be the Olympia, but I'll be in gear there. Next full raw meet will probably be RUM 2012.

[gbg]

Love the pic!

Congrats on the meet Becky, good lifting as always.

[KimValentine]

Two of us lifters fell backwards and one guy passed out, so I guess it was a good idea to have a spotter.

I'm not sure how I'm liking it. It's making me sore! I'll probably stick with it though July, and then really start getting ready for the Olympia.
10@45ish? (x2)

Does this powerbuilding stuff mean you're considering doing a figure show?

[Link815]

Putt is also wearing at least 2 non-Underarmour articles of clothing in that picture.
