When we got it in the house we have these two thin pads that come with a compresser... It fills up them up with air and we can slide appliances across floors without damaging the floors. Its like skating on ice it glides to smooth. We've moved some real heavy stuff with it. I never knew they made such a thing until a couple years ago when we got it. Maybe you've used one before. I only use a dolly and a carry strap. I might look into those 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might look into those We renovated a florist a couple years back and had to move this massive flower refrigerator.. It was so heavy we had to reframe the floor were it was going. Had no idea how we where going to move it... My dad or bro found it on Facebook marketplace. I think we have a video of us using it. We might use it tomorrow, or in the next few days. If i cant find a video i'll post one of us using it so you know what we are talking about. Well worth the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonjoseph Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 My friend Chad and I snapped a huge log in half that fell into his father's yard after a big storm. We did it barehanded. The piece we snapped off must weigh 450+lbs, and was still alive when we did it. It was after a hard work day, and took a herculean effort. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ancestors sailed over from Isle of Man in the 1700's and hunted with Daniel Boone. They were the first to explore the Cumberland gap. Their surname was Skaggs, which means "rough beard" The name derives from "Skieg" Which comes from a man who became the progenitor of several clans in the isle of Man. He was described as Swedish/Danish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had friends that got excited over stuff like that. Cutting up and getting rid of that and then drinking a bunch of beer. Whats better than that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonjoseph Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Been a few rough work days this week. Really harsh labor and my patience has been tested. Training these past few days has been non-existent. Trying to rest from some of the training I did Went to armwrestling practice, felt a bit beat up but did well. I'm saving up my energy to train with Delmar Carter. I am going to Tennessee tomorrow, and I plan to exhibit some bends to him and my family. Some rest and some smokies+drinks helping out 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonjoseph Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 Sometimes I feel like the mental burdens I have and the obstacles I have overcome were way tougher than any of my bends, lifts, or armwrestling matches. I know if I keep the right mindset I can truly achieve world class feats and go even further beyond that. It's all about the mindset, my brothers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes something else finds its way into my pipe too. 26 minutes ago, Londonjoseph said: Sometimes I feel like the mental burdens I have and the obstacles I have overcome were way tougher than any of my bends, lifts, or armwrestling matches.

Londonjoseph Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 Amazing training session with Delmar Carter the other day. He and I did some bends, and practiced some armwrestling. I couldn't even move Delmar, and I consider myself a pretty good armwrestler. Also, he hasn't trained at all in about two years. He's retained a LOT of strength, so I could only imagine what he was like a few years ago. He managed a Hexabastard in Single Cordura DU. Got it to 90°, and took only a little bit of effort. He also did a 6" Edgin in Doubles DO I did a 3/8"x7" brass Hex Piece in just ironmind Pads. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matek Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Sounds like a lot of fun! Although I never tried proper armwrestling, I have a feeling I would probably enjoy it a lot (and injure myself, of course). One of the reasons I started bending (DU) last year is Delmar's 8.8 cert. He is such a boss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to train so many things, so I don't even train grip anymore really just bends and armwrestling (besides some general training and conditioning) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
