A Giraffe Amongst Gorillas - My Strongman Log

[bmontgomery87]

Well I just ordered a bottle of that Sensalipohydroxyinsanity Advanced they've been advertising on tv. So by my calculations I should be jacked + tan in exactly 6 weeks. So that's when I'll be taking pictures then.

I like hydroxycut better, because Ronnie from Jersey Shore takes it.
His tan looks better

My cialis should be arriving right around the same time.






I'll be waiting....

I'm kind of mad. You're gonna make 165s, and I'm heading for 181s. And my total is still gonna be lower than yours

Greenville, sc its like 15mins from my fiance's parents' house.

Ha....two hours is cake for a competition.

[bmontgomery87]

and 5-6 hours from Brandon's house...

fixed

[NC_Tarheel]

Whatever ****s...I drove 5 hours to the last meet just so I could wear my singlet in public.

still in the same state so it doesn't really count....or something

Our drive really wasn't that bad, but it'd be a hell of a lot easier if they had more local-ish meets.

[coloBB]

I've seen videos from Brute Strength Gym... that place looks badass.... The weights in that contest look like they will be manageable.

I'm lucky.


Brute Strength is only an hour away and they host powerlifting, highlanders and strongman.

That is pretty awesome man.
Brute is a badass gym.

And you might break the 500 mark on squats by switching feds

I'm iffy on the log at best but I've got some time to train it.

I do have a family vacation planned from July 19-31 so when I get back I'll have 7 1/2 weeks to peak for it. Hopefully I can at least maintain what little strength I have while I'm gone but I'm honestly not worried about it.

We've never taken an extended trip as a family before so I'm much more excited about that than the contest

Enjoy the vacation bro. That'll be awesome.

I'm long overdue for taking the family somewhere, and I'm getting reminded of that more and more often.
Yesterday I got the "Oh but we can drop everything and go out of town for your powerlifting meets".
I couldn't really talk my way out of that one, because what I do in my head as far as putting everything into improving my ****ty total, and what it looks like in the real world are two totally different things.

I train and obssess about powerlifting like it's my job, even though it isnt.. It's hard to explain to a woman that you want an "elite total" before you die. Because women don't understand working hard for something for more than 5 years

[coloBB]

^lulz... I know that feel bro..

although I'm lucky in the fact that my wife likes to do that kind of stuff with me. She wants to do the next powerlifting meet with me, so we tested her deadlift yesterday; 185lbs with no belt at 130lbs bodyweight, and made it look easy... fuuu.. she's gonna have a better total than me, lol

I understand this 100%! I feel like I spend a lot of my day thinking about numbers..or staring at my workout journal..trying to figure out how to ramp up my totals.
Same with vacations, we are heading to Florida June 8th..I skipped deload to throw in another cycle..which will end that day. Im already trying to figure out how I can swindle myself into the gym the morning we leave!

definitely lucky.
i got mine to lift with me twice. first time she deadlifted she pulled 95 like it was nothing.
I think she would have been decent at the lift, but she said "this is your thing not mine".
probably for the best, she'd outbench me in a year or two.

Good to know I'm not the only one who does this.
I thought I had a problem.

[NC_Tarheel]

I'm just going to try and have a great time. I'll probably not have access easily to a gym (as far as I know) so I may have to hit up a prison workout at the end of the day.


Kid on the back pushups

Piggy back squats

Wife hold front squats (clean OR dirty version )

[bmontgomery87]

Just take some bands with ya.
You can at least do band pushups and pull aparts.

Yeah...I was going to pack a monster mini and a light band to do some stuff. It will be cool because I won't tell my wife I'm bringing them and when I bust them out her expression will be priceless

I'm sure they can be used in a kinky manner as well.

Read first line and loled cause i thought you were joking.

nags head is pretty sweet. We spent some time in Duck and Kitty Hawk one summer. Relaxing.

Totally serious ass .

Stephanie actually wanted me to bring them so we could do some workouts together in the morning, so I said fine by me. My pasty white skin can use a tan and any bit of conditioning work is better than not doing anything hwen I'm there.

I've been out there quite a bit, I'm excited to just spend some time unplugged doing a whole lot of nothing though I do have 18 holes of golf lined up for early Saturday AM.
