Here are some of my pictures from Chicago april 9th. I won! My training partner Scott missed 1st in his weight class by 1/2 point I believe. Heck of a matchup. He also broke the masters records for the farmer's hold and the deadlift for reps. Inspired by Jesse, I shouldered the nearest blonde to pose for pictures.

log press was 250lbs for reps, deadlift was 525 for reps and farmer's hold was 320 each. 60sec time limits, except for the hold of course.
I got 4 in the log and 6 in the deadlift. Those are my worst events. I'm better at the athletic stuff.

Nice job! What other contests do you have lined up for this year? We still have a few spots open for the St. Paul contest.

"Ravishing" James Rude did awesome at Chicago! It was great to meet him, and ask him how the weather was up there since he's so damn tall!

He was right, the battle b/w his partner Scott and Jeff Peterson went down to the last event, and Scott carried the Keg faster than Jeff, but Jeff did the drag faster than Scott.

Jesse and Callie, its 85 degrees and breezy here in Honolulu See you on Sunday!

HIGA.

Jacob-those are rehband "warm pants" that my mom gave me for Christmas from Karl at www.jackalsgym.com

Dave-I am doing the Great lakes one that Spybrook puts on, and i don't know what other ones. I'm not very good at traveling as i have no money. The whole unemployed college student deal is good for eating and training but payin for stuff is a real problem.

thanks guys.
