do what?

Didn't know NAS would let them have two Beast of the East comps... Tommy K usually puts in on somewhere in SC,, I took 2nd in 07 and I'm not sure who won this year.. Good luck with your comps..
Just finished KY strongest man,, I tore my left knee up... Slap tear in patella tendon....... dropped the 320 farmers (80ft) ten feet from the finish and cut a damn front flip!! My freak'n luck!! Was WAYYYYY overtrained to be competing ,,, very good lesson learned.. Won't happen again though.. I want the AM LW log record before NATs in O9!! Gotta whole lotta work to do though!!!! 330 will go in training,, but it's gonna have to be 360 for it to stick for a while.. Been lucky enough to work with Brad Dunn here lately on press work.. damn dude hit a 391 axle for a tripple last weekend like it wasn't shit!!!!!!!!
Anyhow,, let me know where you compete next,, mine will be in Columbia, SC again at the South Atlantic show,, will be a 231 again.. unless the gods throw me a pro-card for getting hurt..LOL..

Actually, you are right, it was Northeast Beast, not Beast of the East ... I may actually be doing that South Atlantic comp Joe, I am definitely competing in Orlando for my pro card ...

Iceman1800 · Nov 14, 2008

I'll be doing Tony Soucie's contest in january in Illinois. I heard he runs a fun show

strongmanjoe77 · Nov 16, 2008

k cool

Hey that sounds great TA... Hopefully I'll see ya there... I keep eating like I've been and I'll end up in the 265's.. Wouldn't be that bad though,,,, weights aren't that heavy in that comp.. Just lite and fast..
Good luck to you as well ICE.. hope all goes well in IL for you..

You (TA), said ur competing in FL this year? I havent' looked at the schedule for the remaining year.. Or is it next year?
I know that Mikey Johnston is putting on a comp in Jan. 24th: 2 day event with LW and HW pro's I believe,, He invited me to compete but I don't believe a pro card will be handed out even if I do good...
that's my B-day weekend so I mite as well compete.. I'm gonna be off work anyhow..
happy lifting to all..

Hey Ice,, do you know MIKE HEMLEP? He competes as a LW master 231.. He holds the axle and yoke and log record currently.. i get to train with him pretty often. Really good dude.. Hard worker as well.. Think he came in 2nd at Master Nats this year..

Yep, met Mike at nationals this year. He came in 3rd and when you talk to him, let him know he can carry my gym bag at next years nationals

He is a beast actually, amazing overhead strength and lots of speed

FL is the first pro-am of the year .... its 4/18/09 ...

Not activly competing at the moment, more like rehab sadly.

Last contact was in March, HI's Strogest Man. Have been dealing with a low back issue since. Trying to focus on my bench right now as it's shitty and about the only thing I can train hard. Good to see some other guys hitting hard as well.

Tattered that is a ton of shows! I have a hard enough time staying healthy just for the prep of one show, great year bro.

thanks monopoly,

I am hoping to end it on 12/20 in St Louis going for a national record log press, I hit 323 in training last week, and 335 secures me the record, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can

Just RAW Bench

I compeated in my first meet in March, the APA, CT OPEN. Posted a RAW 450LB Bench @ 238 LB to win the Open and sub-master 242.

My current stats are, 5' 5" (165 cm) and about 238 lb (108 KG), a little on the watery side right now (help's with the heavy weights HA HA HA!!).

Looking forward to sharing information and learning as much as I can from the forum members. I love lifting and all the different sciences behind it!!!
