I just got back from the contest Tom was unreal. This was the first time I have ever seen anyone double over hand grip a 2 3/8" diameter axel weighing 315lbs. and go straight to a lock-out with no pause at the chest. Tom's pressing is simply sick strict pressing all (7) reps.

Thanks everybody, I'm grateful for the win. I'm glad I qualified for ASM. It was nice competing w all these guys. Most of them were really cool. The heat and humidity was crazy though, I couldn't believe how slippery the stone was. I had to pull the 1st one to my lap because it surprised me how slick it was. I had to squeeze it a little harder than usual. It was also nice meeting a lot of guys I haven't met yet. Personally, the one who surprised me the most was Brad Dunn! Big improvements since the last time I saw him. That to me is awesome when I get to compete with someone and see 1sthand the improvements they've made.

Hell of a job Saturday, Tom. You looked great. I would have to say you and Van are the favorites in San Diego. Thanks for the above compliment. I have been working hard on making both the physical and mental adjustments neccesary. Hopefully I can impress a little more next month at ASM. It will be a battle for those top four spots to represent Team USA in the Ukraine. I am looking forward to seeing you and everyone else there. Time to take the training up a notch or two!

Congrats Tom awesome performance. BTW I am now my wife's 3rd favorite strongman. I think most people who know us know that Odd is her favorite and now after she met you last weekend you've taken over 2nd spot. Dub you're down to 4th bud.
