weekend update

no its not SNL...but i bet i am definitely funnier.

did events saturday. was pleased with the results despite the humidity and 3 soaked t-shirts!
farmers was easy, need to work my turns. tire again was insanely easy. going to have to do multiple sets just for the cardio. stones were great. event though i was so sweaty the tacky came off on my first pull. worked out some issues with placement and got some solid reps after missing 2.
sunday was a different story...deadlifts sucked! 505 was all i could manage. the 2 reps i did took everything out of me. maybe my back was toasted from events. certainly know i lost a bit from the heat. pullups were easy..5x5 with the eagle claw loops, done with fingertips. pulldowns killed and made me feel real good.

relaxed the rest of the day with football.

i attract the retards

in the gym that is...somebody walked thru the crossove machine while i was in the middle of a set of side rasies. had to adjust my lift to avoid hitting the dumbass. yes! that how close he got!!
i then verbally ripped into the brainless turd. good for me i can train later and avoid the morons in the morning.

other than that my 3 days off were great. ate a lot! the mexican buffet will never be the same.
training was outstanding! a pr on close grip press, 325 for 4 singles....good mornings with 500lbs.
a decent push press with 250 for 2 reps.

looking to hit it big time in november. the comp is a great set of events for me. just looking for PR's and an early qualification for 2010 nationals.

boredom, training, plans, and a rant

yup i was bored....after all i forgot what a real day off was like. new schedule kicked in and the days off commenced with me sleeping in late, watching too much tv and playing too much final fantasy. finally got so stir crazy i made my way to the gym. did some light work that left me sore and tight a day later. overhead squats...nuff said!

november 7th is my next competition http://02d934a.netsolstores.com/pdf/Finalentryform.doc
my work schedule makes training easy and gives me enough rest. this should be fun and a great opputunity to qualify extremely early for 2010 nationals. and that is my goal!! the weights are perfect and doable for me. my weight will be easy to manage...only 5-6 lbs to drop. a good time with friends coming in and my training partner comepting too!

after that...who knows?

now the rant....
my job is simple. but someone can fuck it up! or at least cause distress among the rest of the crew. we input vital and timely information for our customers. if not done then we lose and so does our customers. amazingly that is just what the person i follow did not do. fucking retarded monkeys could do this job! i come in on a saturday morning to a shitstorm of fucked up info.
to top it off this person left as soon as i walked in...10 minutes early and i ended playing catchup for an hour.
FUCKING LAZY ASSBAG!!!
yes this person wins the "c-word" award

a flight, a competition, and tastycakes

i flew out friday to philadelphia...delayed due to some nasty rain up that way. ah well. when we did get flying it was smooth. read a bit and reworked a story i have had for years. feeling a little creative. coming in to philly was better than any ride at disney. wind gust blew the plane every direction as we soared over the delaware river.

a great friend took me to genos for a cheesesteak and then to a surprise...a star trek exhibit at the franklin institute!! yes i am a bit of a trekkie. watched the new movie on the imax too.

we made our way to jersey and i spent the rest of the weekend with, well...someoen i really care about. lets save that for another blog....

saturday was the raiders robotix strongman competition. took 3rd in the heavies. really happy with it. the events: hummer push/sled pull, tire flip 10 in max time, tire toss, treestump carry, stone over bar. i was bummed about the stone. should have been easy but it was new and baby bottom smooth. no tacky allowed either!

now to the tastykakes...http://www.tastykake.com/
things must be made with crack! had the peanut butter ones and chocolate cupcakes!! sweet mother of jesus!!
