I voted for Justin too.


After I saw how he handled his vacuum I had to give it to him.

I also voted for Justin, mainly cause I can't see the Quads and Calves. The legs gotta be important in the events, right?

Scotty you look right for it though, low to the ground an all.

EDIT Might be an optical illusion, your quite wide! (in a nice way)

I give new meaning to the word Stalky. LOL that pic has to be at least a year old. Some things have changed since then. Justin probably has a bigger vacuum.

The pins pull fire trucks just fine. I also do a lot of straight leg deadlifts when the bar is at 18". All of this hits the legs hard. start at 500 pounds with a 2" diam bar. No sissy straps and I only use a belt when I am in the high 600's and up.

While in Denver in June, I pulled a pumper truck for a demo because the guy that was supposed to do it had his flight delayed. When I was done, the driver of the fire truck said I pulled it like it was a shopping cart.
then I told him the let some air out of the tires for the competition.

Theres lots of guys out there in the sport and many of them are half my age.
Theres also Odd Haugen who is in his 50's that shows the youngsters how it is done whenever he competes.

Technically speaking that would be called a strict single dumbell press not a military press as that is two arms. Standing or seated?
what flavor Gatorade?

Boy did I walk into that one.
wheres my feedbag? I need to toss it at Dieseldude4x4...after its empty of course.

Well, lifting the likes of you I can see why it would be called a dumbell press....but whatever.

Standing AND seated....drinking orange, cherry or the original lemon-lime.

You'd be surprised how economical his tummy is. I expected about half a pan of lasagna to disappear, but he was polite and only had one piece.

Or is my cooking just that bad???
