[b fold the truth]

Hey b fold!! Congrats man! Looks like all that training paid off!! Man you remind me of Rocky IV! You know Rocky is training out in the country lifting all those peasants carts and stuff while the Russian guy is in this high tech gym!! Well you da man, with the tires and boulders!!!!!! Hey I had some questions!!

1. how tall are you? just out of curiosuty!!!

2. can you explain how the Hercules hold works? you stand there with 310 lbs pulling on each arm? wow. when you are done, do you just let go both at once and they drop? doesn't it freaking pull your shoulders out of their sockets!!!! what's your strategy here? do you slightly flex your arms, or do you just let them out completely extended?

thanks dude!
again, congrats!!!!!!!

I am 6'2" tall and around 290 on contest day.

Yep...on the Hercules Hold...I just stand there as it rips me apart. My grip never went...but I felt like my elbows were being ripped off of my arms and my shoulders being pulled out of socket. The pain that comes across your neck, upper back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, elbows, forearms, and hands...it like none other. The best time before me was 1:09...just after the 1 min mark...the pain got BAD and I began yelling for the guy keeping time to tell me second by second where I was at. When he said 1:10...I let go.

Top 3 in the Heavyweight Class...

Clint, you rule! I was just thinking how you're clearly the biggest of those guys.

Then I happen to notice the middle guy and I'm thinking, "Did someone confuse a water polo player for the other 2nd or 3rd place guy?" I mean, what gives? Both you and the other guy on the outside are pretty enormous, but the middle guy? He almost looks skinny (granted, anybody looks skinny next to B, lol).

Great victory earned brother!

 

[bignate73]

wow, excellent!!!

talk about extreme stretches...heheh. that hercules hold would seperate me from the middle!

how did you like the equipment? was it comparable to what you had been training with? better? throw you off a bit? i know you practiced the viking press, and ive seen your setup for farmers. just wondered how you felt about what they had there.

ps....275x12 STANDING is no joke. just doing that in a nice seated position is for animals!
