Born Again Hard!!

[BODYSNATCHER]

Well Irish, what I got from your post was that you thought that rarely any injuries were severe enough to stop competing at a lift, and if you did, you obviously didn't have the balls to be a powerlifter. I didn't post anything before you made the statement about the injuries RARELY being enough to stop you. When you told me that I should play chess, because I didn't have the balls for powelifting, YOU STARTED TALKING ABOUT ME. I agree that if it's possible, STRONGESTSURVIVE should make a comeback, it's obviously possible, and I encourage him. My patellar tendon rupture isn't the only injury I deal with. I've got a ruptured bicep, 2 torn rotator cuffs, and a torn-up cervical spine - but that's not enough to stop me from benching big enough numbers (right now) to make it on the PL USA Top 100 and Top 20 masters lists. Don't talk to me about pain and balls. Everybody in this sport goes through pain.

BODYSNATCHER: YOU jumped into the thread. you seem a bit defensive about your decision not to 3-lift anymore. If it sits right with you, that is what is important. It was encouragement to strongestsurvive to be smarter and make his comeback.

You got it right when you read that I thought injuries were rarely severe enough if you had the balls and will to continue. I stand by that assessment.

I don't need to see your injury list. We've all got 'em. I respect your decision to continue competing, but I also don't want to see someone else scared off if that's what they have the desire to do.

Let's let it lie at that.

Irish, I'm glad that you are sticking to your assessment about injuries and balls, as I am also standing by my views on brains and using your head.

As far as injury lists, I didn't need to see yours either, as you were the first to bring up all of your injuries.

I noticed you had very little to say about Ryan Kennelly not being a POWERLIFTER, only that he was HUGE, but I guess since he's within driving distance of you, you hesitated to say, but IMPLIED that he doesn't have the balls to squat and deadlift, but you still respected him, and as far as I can tell, he has NO INJURIES holding him back.

NEWSFLASH: When you tell someone that they don't have "the balls" to do something - THAT'S NOT RESPECTING THEM.

You've obviously been hanging out on GOHEAVY too long, take a break.

Now, we can let it lay.

ok you're starting to piss me off.

you are misquoting me. i didn't bring up any of my injuries like some badge of courage as you did. go reread this thread. i said i was smart in my rehab.

NEWSFLASH: if you are gonna wave your injuries around, it makes a much better story to say "... and I still came back and lifted xxxx NOT "... i got smart and quit the sport of powerlifting". Who the fuck wants to hear that? Real inspirational!

WTF is that supposed to mean about ryan kennelly?? i gave him my props for training all the lifts hard. you can tell he is not all about benching, but if you think i did that because he is within driving distance, give me a fucking break. I also know he squats as well, just not competitively (yet). so, is ryan a champion powerlifter? no... he's the world's best bench presser though.

Do I think he deserves the same credit in powerlifting as a National's Champion? No. Happy now?

you know, i posted on this thread as encouragement to someone who wants to rehab from an injury and it gets derailed.

Since you have raised my ire, fine fuck you. Get under the goddamn squat bar and quit crying you old whiner.

I can bench right now, 405 for 2 sets of 7 fairly easily. I am not pushing the weights any heavier right now because I want to ease my way back up their. It was really stupid for me to get into fights after a surgery, but anyone can look back and say something is stupid after it happened, I think they call them monday morning quaterbacks. I believe in lifting with out equipment, if this achilles tendon blows out trying to bench over 500 raw in a full meet again, I will just go to the closest graveyard and did me up a cadaver and take their achilles tendon and heel bone and if the fucking doctors don't want to do the surgery i will call up Louie simmons and have the Guru of Powerlifting do it for me. I think what it really comes down to is the person and what they are willing to do for the sport of powerlifting. If I keep blowing these god damn tendons out and never get back up their, maybe my failures will motivate someone to bench (or lift) heavy and go the extra distance. That is what powerlifting is for me.

And I am glad to see that me and pljay finally agree on one aspect of powerlifting. I think that it is great that there are guys who can push certain lifts to the extreme, but it takes being somewhat good in all 3 lifts to win a meet. I always tell people that someone is not a powerlifter until they compete in a full meet, taking token lifts does not count in my book.

Hey Irish, here's my assessment of you - you're nothing but a self-promoting, powerlifting wannabe, that's spends most of his time on the internet talking shit, and giving "advise" to people, without knowing what the fuck you're talking about. And the measure of a man/person, isn't what they can squat, bench or deadlift. And the only one whining is you - grow up punk.
P.S. Louie Simmons isn't God, and PL USA isn't the bible, and when you die, you don't go to WESTSIDE BARBELL CLUB, and the easter bunny isn't real. Are you fired up? Now what? Go make us another board press video.

Irishpower and Bodysnatcher,

I know this is a bit rich coming from me after my recent experiences with Spatts et al, but you wanna cool it?

I'm not asking you to agree on something........I cant see that happening some how At best, agree to disagree........or take it to PM's or email. This whole thing really is getting stupid.......it seems this whole thing blew up because people took things the wrong way. One thing about this board is that members have always avoided the personal bullshit.......until now. Why spoil it??
