I first saw cswol at golds gym in fullerton. i saw this big bald guy with pretty solid arms in cammo shorts and a little wife beater. i said to myself, damn, that boy is solid. he kept going from machine to machine,
just doing pumping exercises, making a lot of noise. he never did any heavy lifts, but hey, to each his own workout. So a week later, I'm in my home gym, 24 hour fitness in cypress, and who do i see, the same mutt in
cammo shorts and a wife beater. i couldn't believe it, the same guy. So i see him for three days in a row, and hes doing the same type of workout, just doing pumping exercises. i did see him get a spotter and do his 30 reps with
225 like he did on his video. I was not impressed, but being a 280 pound guy, i was impressed that he was kind of cool. He didn't try to bully any little guys, he was respectful of everyone that i could see. (i knew that he was watching me lift,
as I'm one of the stronger older guys in the gym at that time of day.)
So on day three, i was almost finished doing arms, and was curling with the 100 pound bar, and cswol was right behind me. as i finished my last set, i went to put the bar back in the rack, and he was standing right in front of the rack, and he just stood there,
he knew that i was coming to rack the bar, and he still just stood there, he wouldn't move. So i hit him in his leg with one side of the bar, and he moved out of the way so i could rack the bar.
He just looked at me and said" WHY YOU TRYING ME MAKE ME YOUR BITCH!!!!! So i got in his face and said you knew i was coming to re rack the weight, fucking move! so he moved closer, and i move closer, and now we are face to face!!!!! (I was so
amped up from the heavy workout i would have smashed him if he would have hit me), but after a few more back and forth words, we both backed off at about the same time. (which was good because we both would have lost our memberships )
it was over as quick as it started, and we both fist bummed each other and went our separate ways.
it was only a few weeks later that i figured out the this 280 pound mutt was the famous CSWOL- and i never saw him again. if i did i would have told him that hes a star player on get big.
it is mind blogging to me that he is now tokaswolla. i can not believe that he is the same guy that i met in my gym.
i have never met tokaswolla, but i can say that the old CSWOL was ok in my book--- judo choke
