First Money Meet?

Wife, and she has been at all the ones I saw him at. If you are six foot two and went to a powerlifting meet, you must have looked like a giant.

I remember being at one with my brother who is six two or three, and he made the comment that he felt like a giant. Now he knows how out of place I feel at a volleyball match or basketball game.

And Jason is only about five six. I am just a shade taller than he is.

height wise i felt like a giant, but i'm not much over 200lbs so i'm very small compared to most of the guys. being this tall and weighing so little makes powerlifting a bitch. i'm steadily gaining weight to make up for the years i dedicated to trying to have a sixpack. what jason didnt have in height, he definately made up for in thickness. there were a few other guys there that were about his size but i didnt catch their names because i was just staying around to watch him. too bad i didnt get to see him bench (i showed up too late).

Go for the money, I know how many kids you have and you could use the $10. Of course if you don't win one of them might go hungry.

Let me know if you need anymore motivation.

Nobody REALLY knows exactly how many kids I have, they just know how many live with me.

I guess I am going to sack up and enter the pro division. If I make an ass of myself it won't be the first time. You know what they say, you don' t make any of the shots you don't take.

By the way, guys. bigokie and Screwball came down yesterday, and I hit a new P.R. 525!!!!

Pretty fired up about that. I don't even have my shirt in from Karin yet, this was in my old shirt. May have to up the attempts.

I could not get 475 to touch, went up to 495 and smoked it, then pulled the shirt down too far, could not get 525 to touch, readjusted the shirt, and got that too. I was most proud of being able to come back after a miss or two and get the weight. I used to never be mentally or physically strong enough to do that.

Very happy about the P.R. but much happier I was able to come back. Things are definately clicking right now. If the new shirt fits like I am hoping, maybe 540 for a 3rd attempt? Who knows?

I say go for it. This type of thing will give you big time
motivation. It could be the catalyst that pushes you to
the next level.

By the way, you will not "make an ass out of yourself". You
will only make yourself better.

Good luck.
