Mad Dog Bench Meet - Info.

[AnimalMass1]

OK, well I've been out of town all weekend (the big city of Branson)

Anyway, I will ask Dave (the big guy coming down with me) what he wants to do. I don't mind driving a little further to Tulsa, to your house, and then riding down or at least following you to Muskogee.

I can hit 69S at Big Cabin and shoot straight down to Muskogee, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Dungeon.

If I do go to your house, I will probably be there around 10AM, so as to allow for any problems, as I don't want you guys waiting on me.

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.

No kidding...what's a fat man to do??!

"It's like that time Mr T was at the mall...all day long I kept saying "I'll go a little later...I'll go a little later" but when I got there they said he was already gone...and when I asked the guy if he would ever be back he said he didn't know."

Bench, as far as my plans for the meet...not sure yet. I probably will meet you at your place and just follow you to the mall. Will IM you with finalized plans.

That is fine bro. Mr. T makes me laugh. IM or e-mail me to get things set up.

I will drive directly from Bentonville to Muskogee. I plan on arriving at the mall around 11:45 - 12:00.

I'll hit DE upper body on Saturday or Sunday and that's it for me. I'm nursing my weak-ass arms back into shape. I may hit some AR work on Tuesday or Wednesday. No lower body work until after the meet.

Don't forget your equipment (especially shirts) and remember that a singlet is required. Everyone might want to bring something to sit in. I have a retractable chair in a bag that I intend on taking. Make sure to bring your cameras and video recorders. Also, it might be good to bring plenty of water even though the food court will be available. The mall may be cool so a sweatshirt, just in case, might not be a bad idea. That'a all I can think of for now. If anyone else has suggestions please post.

Did you get your shirt in yet?

Have you tried it out?

Hannibal:

Yep, I got it yesterday. I'm going to give it a run tommorrow or Sunday. I just hope it's not too big. I'll let everyone know how the test goes. Did you get the stuff I sent you?

Can you bring your "heat" and linament to the meet? I have a feeling I'm going to need some help getting my arms lose and keeping them warm.

How are you going to train leading up to the meet? At this point in the game any additional training isn't going to do a thing, IMHO. Rest and recuperation is the best thing at this point. Do you agree?

Bmonster:

You've been laying kind of low. Is everything okay? Are you working a shit-load? Drop me a line if you need anything.

Glad you got it in. Let us know how it goes. I will be sure to bring the "heat" to light your arm up.

As far as training goes...I have one more day. Speed Bench on Sunday w/ Chains. And then I MIGHT put on my shirt and hit my opener...we'll see how I feel. Then take it easy. A light AR workout on Wednesday...and then it will be Saturday.

Bench, gonna meet you at your house and we can ride down together. I'll bring all three shirt that I have in case someone needs to borrow one. I am also gonna order a singlet from Frantz so I will have one for the meet.

I'm doing 4 or 5 sets of speed work on Sunday, followed by a single with 405 in both shirts. Then on Monday I'm gonna do a lower volume Dyn day. I didn't do Dyn today because I don't want to wear myself out before the meet. So two more days and then I'm off til the meet. Just trying to keep the elbows intact. Haven't had pain lately but I don't want to risk it this close to the meet.

I will open with 405. After that I will go 425, 455. I will be happy with 405 though. Hope everyone's training goes well.

Later

 

[Hannibal]

okie...looks like you and I have pretty much the same plan....even including the attempts.

 

[benchmonster]

Not laying low, just on the road all week with work. I am about to go and work up to my opener, then rest and eat like Tommy Chong for the rest of the week.
