I'm getting some talking from Poland, 2 different promoters, and Slovakia.
Was invited to compete with the Polish Team as long as I swore to never say a word the entire weekend and say I was Polish American
They are working for some Slovakian National Log Press Championships. I couldn't "place" but I could compete.
Between getting injured for a show, getting sick for the next one (and staying sick for 2 years or more) it really has hurt me with my credibility with contest promoters who put out thousands of euros to have athletes at their shows. I just need to find a promoter willing to take a chance on me...
With the WSM...I'd still need to get in good with them AND qualify at a Super Series contest. With IFSA I could compete more (if they were still alive) with Cyprus. I'm working on competing anywhere and everywhere I can. I've been "promised" a spot at atleast 1 show this year run by the old IFSA guys. It will be my chance (no pressure huh? lol)
I'm using the shirt to have fun and it KILLS my triceps which is what I need on the log press and the viking press. Look where I missed the log press in the picture? If I had more tricep strength...I could have pressed it out.
I hope anyway... I'm having a blast learning the shirt and doing all the tricep work!
