About 20 minutes later in another store, a guy asked me if I was a professional wrestler. Training must be working. Anyway, here's the video

Lmao. Must be nice to be referred as Paul Bunyan. Truth be said, seems that description was awfully accurate too.

LOL, that would be awesome.

I agree, I loved it, kind of made my day ( probably pathetic, but it's true. )

Yeah, it wasn't the first time somebody has said that. I love it when people do though.

I need to create a weblog just for comments that people make about my size ( not the height comments, I don't care about that, just the big/strong comments, LOL ). Not all that long ago, a guy at home depot was loading a cart full of cinder blocks. I could see him kind of staring at me while I was walking down the isle toward him. His cart was across the isle so I kind of had to manover around his cart. As I was walking by, he stopped loading the cart, and said something like "damn your mom didn't hold back on the food for you did she", I just kind of laughed and said no, and then he looked down at my feet and then slowly back up at my eyes and said "you're one lucky f-er", lol. Priceless.

The other day somebody asked me if I'd be interested in being somebody's bodygard. Actually that sounds like a lot of fun.

Guess this is really off topic here, probably should stop.

Working up to what I think might be my opener at the meet. The camera is low pointed up so I look like I'm higher than I am, everybody there said they were deep. 525 felt like nothing, even though my face turns purple, lol. Not sure what my opener's going to be now.

OK, one more post about the antics of being a big man. I'm really not somebody who needs for everybody to constantly tell him how big he is, but we all like being told, right? Anyway, there are two new people in my team at work. They were both in one of our meetings for the first time. The one guy is not a small guy, but he also doesn't look strong either. Anyway, we were deciding on basically who was going to do what, and this guy kind of arrogantly looked at me and said "lets arm wrestle for it". Before I could say something like "F_CK YEAH!", the other new guy says "Dude, he looks like he'd rip your arm out of your socket and toss it across the room". LOL, DAMN STRAIGHT!

Dynamic Effort benching in a couple hours, video here later.

That gave me a good laugh.

A good speed bench session, benching with chains, pretty light, I don't know maybe 250-ish at the top. I feel like I'm getting faster, especially toward the end of the session. I'm happy with my lifting and feel better going into this meet than any of the previous ones, by far.

Nice squats it did look very easy for you. Looking forward to vids after the meet.
