Damn Sean, that's some crush strength you got there. I had know idea. Now I'm a little concerned about missing the MMG1 and you closing it and having to endure the relentless onslaught that would be heaped on me. Guess I'll have to get serious about the MMG1.

John

[DuTCH]

Keep it up Sean! MM1 is yours!

[deaner]

Good to see you getting on the ladder, climbing it won't be hard for you. I better start hitting the grippers hard again so I don't look like a little girl when we get together.

[smp76]

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys!!! Helps fuel the fire more than you know.

John,

You better get serious lest we remind you of your failure at the Magnificent, oops I just did!

Theo,

Always great to have your encouragment man. You have been a motivator for a long time. Thanks again DuTCH.

Jason,

You better get serious man. I am going to call you up next week and we are going to have a gripper mania workout, blood, bunch of swearing, and more torn skin!!! Then we may even have a drink to celebrate!!! Who knows, Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond, I just don't know if there will be enough time...

-Sean

[deaner]

I see you are excited about the Bed Bath and Beyond too, moving to this part of town finally pays off, I can ride my scooter there! I may put in an application too.

Sean,

Good to hear you can still sit up and take nourishment. I forgot Alaska even existed.

-Jedd-

[smp76]

I sppreciate your thoughts Jedd. Knowing what you have forgotten must be exhausting. Hope to see you next year at BBB III, see you dominate the blods and eat other people's food. Oh, if you ever finish Liver Eaten then please give it to Smitty. If you are having a hard time reading it maybe Eli can read it to you between sets But seriously Jedd, I just read up on another hero you may enjoy, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Union officer at Gettysburg, spoke nine languages, professor, wounded six times during the Civil War and wrote a account of his epic battles called Bayonet Forward. He was a professor of retoric so he is a bit long winded but I think you would appreciate his courage. Take care,

-Sean

Are you still bending.

[deaner]

Nice work on them grippers Sean, is that all your training now?? I'd hate to see you get soft on everything else. SoftER anyway.

[smp76]

Sean

Are you still bending.

Gary,

I just bent a New Red today just to see how my back felt and it went down easy. Remember I am still recovering from a herniated disc in my low back so I am doing my best to train smarter and not reinjur myself again.

Nice work on them grippers Sean, is that all your training now?? I'd hate to see you get soft on everything else. SoftER anyway.

Jason,

Grippers are all I can really do because as I said above my weak as L5S1 disc. But hopefully this summer I will be full speed ahead and get after the training I love to do so much.
