FatBoy Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 A change of dates is fine with me, and it will save my ass with my wife. The 11th is our wedding anniversary. Trust me I don't mind changing the date, even to thanks giving day. I'll be there what ever day is chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwarrior Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 I could make the 26th Nov.date if it happens.Mike the way it looks now my son's season will be over Nov.4th.Lots of injuries on the team. I have another commitment on the 19th that i made months ago. What do you think Kevin about the 26th? ← Hey Guys, I been a tad lazy/busy/tired/run-down the past 2 weeks...would the 26th work for everyone then? How about the 1st or 2nd Saturday of September? That way people who wanna take advantage of the 4(?) day weekend over Thanksgiving can do so. What's everyone's thoughts on that? My wife's very cool with my schedules...keep in touch!!! And Geezer, glad 2 hear you can make it! Your CD has provided many an inspiration for more than one heavy DL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubgeezer Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 (edited) I vote for the 26th, as it won't clash with Steve B's shindig, my kid can go, and I actually look forward to doing something like this over Thanksgiving weekend. Also, Clay Edgin will have to come back to Salinas for Thanksgiving, as he has never been away from California before for Thanksgiving, so he would be heading back and would be participating...Of course I don't know this, I just know he misses his hometown so much he would not be able to keep away ... Hmmm, yeah, I forgot about that "Who" CD I left at Kevin's gym in March. It had been so long, I forgot I owned it.

supermagnamon Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 the 26th is cool with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I am mentally set for the 26th of November, but I have not heard anything about this shindig. Does anyone know anything about its status? Any new interest, any lessened interest? My Rolling Thunder is down 15 pounds from 3 months ago and I have no idea why. That's too bad, I was looking forward to winning that event, but now I'll probably get whupped by guys younger than my children. This is just to say I am still in on the 26th, and I am still in for Steve B's gathering in December. Hubgeezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermagnamon Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 i just spoke with kevin, today, since i he was the promoter and referee at the uspf powerlifting. i told him that so far, most of the votes were for the 26th, in which he was cool with. it's just that he's been busy with this meet, is the reason why he hasn't been prepared for our grip meet. i trie to close his IM#3 and handgripperman was right, that it's a hard #3. I did get the RT to 187lbs, but I was already tired, since I only did the deadlift for that meet, today. btw, the plate pinch event, in which i asked him on what device he was using, is actually the ironmind pinch block, just an f.y.i. that block is extremely smooth, and i couldn't even get 52lbs on it, even though i can pinch a 50lb block. how ridiculous is that? this one guy at the meet, who only did the bench that day, got it up with easy and i was shock, since he doesn't train for grip and that he has small hands. see you all there at the competition. btw, i forgot to ask him exactly what was the fee, though. sorry about that, guys. f.y.i from the last time i asked him, it was around 30-45 bucks, if i recalled properly.

Hubgeezer Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I am leaving for a week. Are we on? Is someone going to check with Kevin? It seems like there is a sizable group psyched up for it, and I am planning on it, but I have not heard anything. Hopefully, it's a go. Could someone find out and post? I am out of here. Thanks, Hubgeezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermagnamon Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 i'll call him up and find out. i'll let you guys know what's up, as soon as i'm done talking to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermagnamon Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I just spoke with Kevin. I called him at the wrong time, because he was at a HS football game. Kevin just had an Olympic Weightlifting meet last week. Another reason why he was busy. I wish that I could of gone to that one. Well, as far the grip competition. We are still on for November 26. He said that it will start around 10AM and that he will send us an e-mail with an entry form. I just want to compete right now. See you guys there.

Went on for weeks, and no one could figure it out. I finally found someone who was able to fix the problem, (in fact he just left, after midnite!), soooo, here I am!!! My apologies for not keeping in touch. Sucks that we rely so heavily on something that can turn on us at any moment. Anyway, I'll email everyone the entry form tomorrow night, don't worry about late fees, but if you can RSVP (via email or cell phone) to let me know you're coming I can get an accurate headcount for awards, Power Bars and Gatorade. Clay, when do you need those awards by? And yes, deception comes in handy when you want to marry the girl you've been seeing for 10 years!

Hubgeezer Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 my weight is 215lbs ← Hey, you are up almost 20 pounds. Is that all muscle? I am 222, about the same as the March contest. I got down to 211 but went off my Weight Watchers diet and well... My son will not be coming, but is probably coming to the December 10 shindig. I am looking forward to this. Despite a few derogatory comments by Kim concerning "Contests", they are a great opportunity to show personal improvement, test yourself in a game-like situation, bring out the best you have, and have fun. With this particular group, I don't think it makes or breaks our personal egos much, it's just good clean fun. I know what Kim is talking about, as I discouraged my son from coming. He is new enough at this stuff that I could see him bummed if he didn't do what he thought he should. I don't want to get put on a bummer because he takes it too seriously, so it is better that he not be in a "Contest". Then again, my kid would kick my ass in the Wrist Roller, as that is my weakest event, and I thought it might be good for him to do that to me....Naaahhh... See you guys in a few days. Oh yes, poor Kevin Meskew is trying to get the right amount of trophies, people in the right weight classes, etc. Don't forget to email him your bodyweight or otherwise RSVP to him.
