Just wanted to wish Grant a happy birthday. :) Even though I do not know him personally, he is a great strongman athlete. Hope to meet him someday though.

Damn dude! I didn't know it was your birthday. Happy Birthday! We'll have to think up something celebratory this weekend. By "celebratory" I mean utterly brutal!

...By "celebratory" I mean utterly brutal!

The Higa Monster is a medley king! I think a fitting birthday tribute would be something similar to the brutal medley that his friend prescribed for the OSU wrestlers.

Happy Birthday Higa!

Mahalo to everyone that sent the positive vibes my way yesterday. You guys are great!

Here is the training program Steve Spellman had mentioned. My friend Brendon Ziegler, is an assistant Strength & Conditioning coach at Oregon State. He and the other coaches put together this little drill to help the Wrestling team improve their grip & shoulder strength:

"A different approach to training — The Oregon State wrestling team is participating in challenging outdoor strength training consisting of five different stations with challenges in correlation to a move or technique exercised in wresting. The first task is a hose pull, which has the players pulling a water hose connected to a weight. The players found this station the most challenging due to the fact that the weight sunk into the wet ground and it was difficult to keep a good grip of the wet hose.


Following this exercise, the wrestlers carry buckets filled with concrete with a target distance of 200 yards, focusing on the grip and shoulder strength. The next station features an oversized tire which the players have to explosively flip as many times as they can. Subsequently, they grab a sledge hammer and hit the tire, maintaining stability and control of the hammer bouncing off the tire."

Have a good weekend, and I will see my training partners at the WAREHOUSE tomorrow 6am!
