Bench meet this weekend

[bigokie]

There is a bikini contest this weekend, and I'm told that there is also a powerlifting meet. I of course am going up there for the powerlifting meet

Seriously, this is the meet that Benchmonster and Screwball have been training for. It is supposed to be a big event. It's hosted by a beer company and like I said there is a bikini contest afterward. Evidently lots of people show up. It's right on one of the lakes down here and it should be a hell of an event. I'm gonna be there to help them out(and drink beer!!).

As far as I know there attempts will be like this:
Benchmonster:480, 505, 530
Screwball:450, 475, 500

I am confident that they both can make these numbers, Benchmonster hit 525 a couple weeks ago when we were training and Screwball hit 475 or 495, can't quite remember, that same day. The only drawback is that it is outside and the temperature right now is hovering real close to 100. Also, Screwball is in the process of moving right now so I imagine that he will be a little worn out. I still think they both can hit those numbers easily, and will be up there to cheer em on. Just wanted to let you guys know and to wish them good luck.

I know that they will get their numbers. I don't know if they are gonna check this before they go or not, but I'll be sure to tell them.

Irish, yes I am a slacker! Not really, just set a number that I have to be able to hit raw before I will compete. The way things are going I'll hit it by December and then will hopefully compete next January.

PLJay, I'll take the cold any day of the week over the heat. I hate it when the temp gets above 90 especially with 50-80% humidity. Hell during the summer I sweat putting on my clothes!!

Regarding the heat. The Okie crew (except for me) are huge freaks of nature that look like they should be from Iceland. bigokie is going to look like a shaved polar bear before long, and big boys don't usually like the heat too much.

It doesn't bother me as much, but like I said, I am small.

bigokie is right this is the biggest meet in Oklahoma every year. I think there were 2000 people there to watch and well over 100 competitors.

I am very confident at this point. The only thing I am mildly concerned about is making weight tonight at 5:00 p.m. After that, it is all good. Lots o spaghetti tonite.

I have by popular demand, left the bikini at home. BTW, there is also a male bodybuilding show after the benching and before the bikini contest. I end up feeling manly, gay, then manly again. (bench, BB, GIRLS!!!) Except for the lull in the middle, everything is great.

OH and I ran up to Kansas, and picked us up some 6 point Bud, too. For those of you living in less repressed states, the beer in OK is 3.2 percent alcahol, rather than the 6 percent the rest of the country drinks. We have to make a border run to get any decent domestic. Also, it is illegal to get tattoed in this state (I had to go to Texas). And they wonder why we cannot hold on to any of our talented young people in this state.
