Mad Dog Bench Meet - Info.

[benchmonster]

I talked to Ron Hood last night, and he is the meet director for the Mad Dog bench meet. It is being held on September 14, 2002.

Anyone who reads this and can attend, I highly encourage you to do so. There will be at least 3 and hopefully more, 500+ benchers competing there, one and maybe 2, 600+ benchers there. Not quite Ohio or Florida numbers, but not bad for the midwest. It is a deeply moving religious experience to see 600 lbs on a bench bar. But I digress.

The meet is in the Arrowhead Mall and the lifting starts at 1:00 in the afternoon. It is in the food court.

The reason I post this is that several members of the board are going to the meet, and most have never even been to Muskogee, much less to this meet.

For those coming in from the North. Muskogee sits on Highway 69 Southeast of Tulsa. Take 69 South through town till you hit Okmulgee ave. At Okmulgee Ave. turn East (left) and continue toward the downtown/business district till you hit 4th street. Turn North (left again) on 4th Street and in about 3 or 4 blocks you will drive directly into the Arrowhead mall.

Also, anyone coming through Tulsa is welcome to stop off at my house in the morning and ride down with me. I plan on leaving the Dungeon at 11:00 or so. Hope we have a good turnout, and that everyone has a great meet.

Thanks for the info Bmonster.

Do you want to try and get together this Saturday/Sunday or next weekend sometime? I should have my new custom "Fury" on Wednesday. If anyone needs to add a little kick to their training in the next two weeks, let me know. I'll see if I can enlighten you...

I am out of town this weekend. Maybe next weekend tho. Maybe work up to openers or something. Drop me a line. I need to get you on my IM too.

How is the shirt going to work out?

HEHEHEHEHE. Food Court.

Screwball how the hell did you get your shirt in that quick? I called and they said 4 weeks, min. Did you just send yours back to be altered? Give me a shout this week sometime and we can talk.

VDOP, your shoulder still hurting you? It's too bad you won't be there to compete. At least your still coming.

Bench, I'll probably meet at your house and follow you down in my truck, in case you need to leave early.

See everyone there. Hopefully shirt will decide to work right?!?!?!

VDOP: Man, that sucks that you're not going to able to lift. Thanks for showing up to support and help out.

Hannibal: The only thing I don't like about food courts is that it's so hard to decide what you're going to eat. Too many damn decisions.

BigOkie: You have mail. Let me know how your shirt training is going. My tendonitis is so bad right now I couldn't do speed work with 135 lbs. straight weight. Fucking tendonitis! I'll be good to go by meet time.

Bmonster: Let me know about training. I definitely need to find a solid opener. Let me know how your training is going this week.

AnimalMass1: Bmonster will be the man to fill you in on the meet details. As usual, he's the man with the contacts and the information. He will probably respond on Monday morning.

Good to hear from everyone. Keep training hard!

Screwball-

Yah,you;re right. Im still not sure how to train around this. Been doing the shoulder rehab Dave has in his article 600 the hard way. Hopefully It will improve by my Oct meet.

I plan on leaving my house at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. That should put us at the meet by noon, giving an hour play for flat tires, etc. . .

Bigokie, you are welcome to ride with me. I won't be able to make it to B.L.'s football game anyway, so I will not be leaving early. If the meet started at 10:a.m. I would have left early to make it to the game.

Sorry to hear about the tendonitis Screwball, and sorry about your shoulder VDOP. Hopefully everyone will be back to health soon.

AnimalMass. If you want, you can meet me and Bigokie, (maybe Hannibal too) at my house at 11:a.m. and ride down with us. If you would prefer, however, just meet us at the food court at out noon. There are pics of us on the board, and you should be able to pic us out from them.

If you need directions to my house, just IM me.
