acorn Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Thanks everyone! Tim put on a great contest this year and the weather was awesome for it. I'm a little disappointed with my bending but finally pulling 400 on the axle in a contest more than makes up for it. Now if I could just lock out that 240 on the 2HP instead of stalling out half way up that would be even better. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't someone say "watch out for Tim" after the last contest..? 2nd place! It's pretty amazing to only get beat by the likes of Aaron. Well done.

What hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread is the hurt that Paul put on that 735# Huge Brutal Hex - in my opinion, that kink was the most impressive single feat of the whole contest. Within two hits Paul had it at 90 degrees. I know people have bent 735# bars in the past, so it's nothing new, but he made it look completely effortless. That was a true display of power.

Thanks guys, Tim has been gradually getting stronger just about every workout and seems to be a sponge for my training advice. Won't be long before he's kicking my butt in all the lifts. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Knight Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'm a little late .. been super busy since I got back because I missed a couple days work ... Contest was superb, it ran smoothy and tightly nit. Each contest I make it out to, I'm learning a little more about what I need to do in oder to run a faster/smoother comp. Great job guys. I want to thank Aaron and Tim for all of their kindness and hospitality. I stayed at Aaron's again and I think I put on a few pounds as a result ... I think I did the last couple of times I stayed there too lol. Heidi and Aaron make the best tasting, healthiest food a guy could eat. It was awesome! Fruit smoothies, omletes, breakfast wraps, french toast ... every meal was a 9 course gormet meal fit for a king. They constantly were asking me if I was hungery or wanted to go check out the Tuscon hot spots .. the hospitality never ended. Aaron - you ever come to FTW again for a comp or anything, my home is open to you and Heidi ... and of course the little one when she comes. Thanks a million times over! Tim was awesome ... that man can grill! After the comp Tim grilled up some fat burgers (guacamole on the side - hell yeah) which was exactly what I needed especially after comp. He can grill as well as he can grip. Tim has become a monster! Tim is a man to watch right now in grip for sure ... he's got a good mommentum going. Cant' wait til Tim comes to TX in a few more weeks! It was also great to meet some new faces .... I would double recommend to anyone thinking about checking out a comp to go to a AZ comp - you'll have a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
