Yeah I'm fine :) I went on to take 903 for a ride and it went aobut the same except that one I blackedout on (the 903) I tweaked my left forearm pretty good so we will see how it goes. Worked upto 600 pounds Raw today off a 3 board for 4 reps. It was pretty damn sore after 4th rep hoping it aint like a Stress Fracture or anything.

But yeah this bruised my Ego more then anything!!!

Glad to hear your alright. Its funny that even on a day that you're injured you use more RAW weight (600lbs) than most will ever dream of.


When is your next meet?

Also, Hedge, just out of interest, how much would an ER bench or squat rack cost?

Not sure.

I think they would range in between $2 500 and $4 000, depending on the value of the dollar.

They're a little pricey, but definitely worth it IMO.

I'm still in shock by the pic.

And that Mike were not just able to get away from it without serious injury, but to actually go ahead and lift – with a heavier weight. :o

FCUK!!!

Yeah I had it set as my background pic could not look at it anymore!!!

So now I put a pic of my lovely wife up to remind to be safe doing all this shit!!!

Gonna focus on dropping weight, took my first pics today OUCH!!! I def need to focus on that. My belly has unfortunately gotten bigger going into these shows. I knew it was but I kind of over did it with gaining 40 plus pounds. Now we focus on getting strong and lighter!!!

Save that pic it is a good reminder to train hard and always with good spotters!!
