Latest newsletter has been written and will be sent out at 3pm.

Beginning to work on the women.  There's a lot of woman competitors. I'm going to need email addresses sent to me, so that they can vote on Nationals.  

I'm gonna need help getting these.  Hopefully someone is reading this thread and the updates.

Thanks man. I thought you might be busy with your arm wrestling tournament coming up so I didn't want to bug you.

I've managed to find many email addresses for the women and got them added into the system so they'll get today's GSI update.

There are some I'm still missing (men included).  If anyone knows these folks, and could have them reach out to me with their email address, that would be great - [email protected]

Were results from Yol Bolsun included?

 

When people used to ask him how it was he became so incredibly strong, it was always the same, "strengthen your mind, the rest will follow". The Mighty Atom

Age wrinkles the body. Quitting wrinkles the soul.

Being prepared for any random task is not the same thing as preparing randomly for any task.

Included to this list?  No, I haven't added anyone from contests since November.  I was hoping I wouldn't have to, and that people who qualified would reach out to me, because I honestly don't have time to analyze every contest.
