the florida crew

[IrishPower]

hey pljay:

how is the florida crew doing? jimmie dean? teenmyth? grimmer?

did any of them do the apf southern states?

whats the good word?

The florida crew is going strong. No one did the Southern States. I for shoulder problems, Jimmie Dean for work, Teen Myth for equipment isuues. He is down from 240 in June to 205 currently and nothing fits him and his gear didnt arrive till too late. Grimmer i think went on Vacation or something cause i never hear from him much anymore till his recent post. I know where all training hard and will ALL be full power meet bound in the fall. We have a couple new additions to our crew as well. Jimmie Dean and his job cant train with us (me and Teen myth) but he trains with a new member. And a new one trains with us. I believe a few will do the June meet. BUt this fall will be a new time for us!

Hows your training going? Whats the bet with Gratton? Man whats wrong with that dude? He hates all lifters and all equipment. What a downer for the sport. I know you will out total him big time, but i would liek to see you knock his ass out too! You would be doing the world of powerlifitng a favor! What kinda lifts are we looking to see from ya?

re: gratton haha

yeah, grudge match of the century. actually, its going to be a big meet in Canada. I am hoping for some big numbers. I will need them to win 275s. there will be at least 5 people in that class who total 2000+.

I have a new training partner who is a monster and we are going at it mega-abusive style.

Don't want to quote numbers, but it would be nice if i broke 700 on the deadlift finally.

ill keep you posted.

Your coming along fast man! I am impressed with ya.

2000lb totals??? Why would you worry about that? You will be over 2100 easily. I read them boards over there! I see them videos too. Cant wait to hear it. Kick that dudes ass for real too. Please, for me!

I'm still here and alive. Between finals last semester, christmas break, work and the new semester starting i have been busy to say the least. Training has been slow but steady. I'm goal oriented again with some PRs in mind in the next few months. Finally healed my low back completely, no more dull throbing pain all day long. My training partner for the past 3 months will probably not be able to much longer so i'm a little pissed but shit happens.

Jay , I got time on mondays and fridays to come trian with you guys. I take it Teen Myth went back to his old way of training? I'll PM ya.

Good luck Irish. Kick some ass and take some names.
