Here's your tire vid from this weekend.

Nice work on the tire and kickin' our butts on the grip stuff!
-Mike

[craig viera]

The tire feels more and more comfortable.Your flips are unreal, youve got that "pop" that is awesome.And to do it 10 times is unreal

[craig viera]

Don't know why I'm writing this in but I guess I'll use it as a tool and a motivator and one day hopefully laugh at these numbers

Stones will come. You are strong enough (since you loaded the 348 stone already fresh) it's just you need to get conditioned to it to be consistent.

I reviewed every post on Craig's journal today just to honor his memory. He had a great future in strength.
I personally will dedicate my future workouts to his memory.
