**BEAST MODE** · 06-24-2011, 04:54 PM

Fuck yeah it is! I just put the shit on repeat and have a constant adrenaline rush. It's one of those where you can't even blink because your eyes are so wide open and your skin is crawling.

**robert da strongman** · 06-24-2011, 05:11 PM

good song for training

**BEAST MODE** · 06-24-2011, 05:17 PM

i hope so

**BEAST MODE** · 06-30-2011, 08:09 PM

If you're feeling anything like I did as far as just being beat to shit in my last 2-3 weeks of prep, you will be fine on the day of the comp. I fucking hated every second of that shit during those weeks.

**robert da strongman** · 06-30-2011, 08:19 PM

yeah this is about normal. only day that matters is comp day

**BEAST MODE** · 06-30-2011, 08:21 PM

**robert da strongman** · 06-30-2011, 08:21 PM

**robert da strongman** · 06-30-2011, 08:22 PM

**BEAST MODE** · 06-30-2011, 08:23 PM

You mean you're looking past the one in 2 weeks already? You not wanting to do it?

**robert da strongman** · 06-30-2011, 08:26 PM

just planning training around the events that's all. gotta bring back deads and dumbbell c+p

**BEAST MODE** · 06-30-2011, 08:28 PM

Ah I gotcha...right on. I can't wait to do deads again.

I like turtles.

**robert da strongman** · 06-30-2011, 08:29 PM

i would have woke you but you were balls deep in that turtle

**robert da strongman** · 07-02-2011, 07:26 PM

so i got up early today to enjoy the beautiful florida sun and warmth..then i picked up some heavy shit and moved it around.

did events today...

yoke worked up to 610 for 60' followed by a 230 farmers for 60'.
most of the yokes were done without a belt, think i put it on at 510 or 560
then we moved to stone over bar...i popped the 200 easily. that's all i got done cuz i got my left calf smashed between 2 stones while playing catcher. lucky me it is just swollen, no bruising.
numbing the leg with a six pack of twisted tea.

**BEAST MODE** · 07-03-2011, 09:40 AM

Sucks about the leg bro...you gonna make that 6 pack disappear before noon?

**robert da strongman** · 07-03-2011, 02:56 PM

just a nasty deep bruise...no surface bruising

i made 4 of the 6 disappear before 10 last night!

**BEAST MODE** · 07-03-2011, 04:56 PM

Sweet...I'll probably make a few disappear tonight. Still undecided.

**robert da strongman** · 07-03-2011, 06:31 PM

the last 2 are going bye bye right now.

**BEAST MODE** · 07-03-2011, 08:45 PM

No booze for me. Supposed to have a 4th party tonight, butit's been pouring for about 3 hours now, and there are trees down everywhere, so it's not gonna happen. I'll take that as a sign I'm supposed to behave.

**robert da strongman** · 07-03-2011, 11:37 PM

less than 2 weeks. saw there are 3 masters heavyweights but i have heard one might not be making it. leaves me the chance to a body decimated on the field of valhalla....

**robert da strongman** · 07-05-2011, 01:19 PM

leg is good to go. i can walk normal, calf just feels tight....

looks like this week will be heavy on the event side. thursday night and 2 sessions saturday. only thing i might do inbetween is press.

**BEAST MODE** · 07-05-2011, 01:32 PM

Getting close man! Glad the leg is feeling better...massage your calf. Get in there nice n deep like!

**robert da strongman** · 07-05-2011, 01:36 PM

will do that....

**BEAST MODE** · 07-05-2011, 01:53 PM

Helps if you make sex noises while you're doing it, then record it and send it to your dudebros...no homo.

**robert da strongman** · 07-05-2011, 02:01 PM

i could video it and post on youtube

**BEAST MODE** · 07-05-2011, 02:08 PM

Excellent! It wouldn't be weird at all.

**robert da strongman** · 07-05-2011, 02:10 PM

oh no not at all

**robert da strongman** · 07-05-2011, 02:12 PM

a lil clutch to get everyone moving

**BEAST MODE** · 07-05-2011, 02:18 PM

That's a good morning tune...not too heavy, but not lame either.

**robert da strongman** · 07-05-2011, 02:19 PM
