'We are our own worst inhibitors"
- Laird Hamilton
I made a decision today. I realized all the excuses I was making. I'll never be a pro strongman because x, y, z (too short, not willing to take drugs, insert bullshit excuse here). I'm removing all the crap and just allowing myself to get to where I want to be. No more crap. By the end of summer 2011 I'm going to be competitive at the top amateur/pro lightweight level. The progress I have been making lately when my head is in the right place has been astounding and makes me believe in myself. Here what I think I'll need to do to get there. Let me know what you guys think?
Axle Clean and Press - 350-360lbs x 1 (currently 300lbs)
Log Clean and Press - 330-340 x 1 (currently 270lbs)
Deadlift - 650 x 1 (Currently 500lbs x 4)
Farmers - 400lbs x 50' + (355/hand x 25')
Yoke - 950lbs x 50' + (800lbs x 50')
Stone - 400lbs x 3 reps (340 x 1, 310 x 3 @45")
Going to let my weight do what it wants to do with big eating. I'm around 185lbs at the end of a good eating day right now. I think I'll be capable of some big things when closer to 200lbs.
This is a huge goal for me and its going to be a sweet journey. let's release the brakes baby...

I know where you are coming from. 6-7 years ago, I was talked out of applying to law school. Now, I say my grades might not make it, I might not score well enough, I do not have good enough references. Well, I really haven't anything to lose. I got no where to go but up from here. Let's do it family. eye of the tiger
Go Popes! Don't worry Andrew i'm not planning on taking any drugs. let me know how law school goes. best of luck!
