A Giraffe Amongst Gorillas - My Strongman Log

[LoveMyInk]

I had a friend get married on the day of the Michigan/Michigan State Football game, which was also the opening day of bow deer hunting season....both pretty big days in Michigan. It was not smiled upon by any stretch of the imagination.

That is not a friend

We aren't sure if it'll be natural or c section yet. She is anemic and had some complications last time, so we're still up in the air.

So I either get freaked out by a long ass epidural needle or have to watch her get cut open. not gonna be a good day for me. I'm a bitch when it comes to injuries or medical procedures.

I learned this valuable piece of advice during my first child's birth....

If you see the doctor reach for a pair of scissors.....DO NOT look at what he's about to do


On a side note, after the doc is fixing things up after the birth, slip him a 20 and tell him to put an extra stitch or two in it for you...lulz will be had

As a groom, future husband and someone with a hanging sack....how in the heck do you allow this to happen???

Part I - nasty
Part II - I would follow the statement with a little placard that reads "srs"
Part III - I have no idea. Must be a small hanging sack.

Thank you.

Well....it wasn't meant to be a joke.

Quit skimming, start digesting threads. Cannot miss jokes or you may be the butt of one. I have seen it happen all to often, right BMont?

[bmontgomery87]

wow i missed a good convo over the last couple hours.


Thom, happens pretty often. You guys suck :P

This is called "The husband favor" here in Iceland :P

I'm training for a strongman/highlands comp...I thought it was understood that I was squatting high

[coloBB]

Impressive Squats are impressive

Further proof that any normal limbed human male should be able to squat at least 4 plates in their lifetime

I don't consider 6'6" normal limbed. I saw the tall guy again at the gym. I asked how tall his lil bro was (he plays for a HS b-ball team in the neighboring county). He answered 6'11". Next question...how tall are you then...."little over 7 feet". Dang, tallest guy I've stood next to since Sam Bowie back in the early 80's.

I'm sure you asked him the proverbial tall guy question...."So do you play basketball??"

Truly. Way to make the rest of us mortals feel bad.

[Black_Spit]

Hell yeah man. Squat PR ftmfw!

But I think we may need to have a discussion about your lack of videos on PR Squat day.

[storm1507]

I'm sure you asked him the proverbial tall guy question...."So do you play basketball??"

Well, I already knew he played. I have yet to see them on the court. He said his lil bro was pretty good. I harassed him earlier this week for not showing up for our 3 on 3 tourney. He said they would have needed another player. Well, heck, I could have dished the ball inside to them, providing of course they didn't stand outside and launch da 3 ball.

Thanks


It's going to suck. Tuesday or Wednesday is usually my only free afternoon during the week so it's the perfect opportunity to get a head start on priming the bathroom for when we....or should I say....I paint the bathroom and the kids' playroom this weekend

[liftingson]

Thanks

Ive been painting my kids bedroom for about 2 weeks now haha

[thom2355]

Nice squatting sir.

And yes, us big men are guards at heart. Dancing around the three point line is a lot easier than beating the sh*t out of each other in the paint.

Thanks man..it'e getting there. 500 is the goal..but then I'm sure 500 X 5 will replace that


And definitely X 2 on the basketball!!

[thom2355]

That is funny you say that. I had a conversation with some training partners last week that pretty much ended with the thought that your only goal should be to improve. Back hurts? Press more. Elbows hurt? Squat more. Reach your goal? beat that one. It is a never ending cycle that continuously gets redefined....but yes, squatting 500 lbs is my next milestone as well.
