Boz and 5150-
I have watched the DPC meet on video, and let me say you two are fantastci spotters. When Rudy's shirt blew out with 700 lbs. on the bar, you guys were right on top of your game, thank goodness!
5150 - we try to adhere to a schedule, but sometimes things get switched up. These days we are most often
Tuesday - chest, delts, tris
Thursday- Back, bis
Sunday -legs, calves
This week we are doing back on Friday - including pulling heavy from the floor this week.
5 pm - at The Firm.
Boz, you are invited too.
Kate I'd love to come train with you all sometime soon. This week though, I'm stuck doing military exercises on base. Maybe I can work something out real soon. Thanks for the invite!

Hey thanks Big Al ! I was going to post that link myself but you beat me to it.
We'll be video taping the FSPF also, and posting the vids on www.Iron101.com.
I've already got a handful of entries!!!
SPECIAL NOTE:
There are two charity events being run at this meet to help raise money for the Special Olympics of Delaware. I had the opportunity to help judge at the Special Olympics Powerlifting at the Summer Games this year, and let me tell you - watching those guys and gals really puts things in perspective. They lift from their hearts - where we should all be lifting from.
Bench for Reps, and Deadlift for Reps.
Costs $15 to enter - There will be trophies and prizes. You do NOT have to be a member of the APA to enter these events. Call or e-mail me for details.

This meet is shaping up very well.
I am going to start posting a list of competitors on www.Iron101.com probably sometime next week.
I heard through the grapevine today that we should be expecting at least one 1000+lb. squatter!

McFly -
If anybody could get ready in 4 weeks - that would be you...however, take it from one fool who spent a couple of years ping ponging from powerlifting to bodybuilding etc. back to back with barely any rest - Take this time and REST!!!!
I've already got you on the roster for next spring... or even the winter meet down here, but soak up, enjoy, and utilize the REST!
We do need your elbow, however - HAH!!!!

ahh the winter meet might be fun! I'll be a fat happy bloated fly by then!!!
i might have to use my wrist wraps to wrap my elbow if i have to man the monolift again!!!
Put me down as a spotter/helper.

Boz -
gotcha - and THANK YOU!
You and Phil are the GREATEST spotters/loaders and I appreciate your help (and so does everyone else!)
McFly - I'll have Alan from APT send a nice, tight but flexible elbow sleeve for you! HAH!!!

Kate, thanks for holding the meet yesterday. I had a real fun time and the atmosphere was great. I know that I should use more weight then I do (your hints finally sunk in during the bench attempts) but we learn from each meet. Thanks again Kate
KATE is the shit!!! Well run meet,sorry I had to run.

Another FSPF is now in the history books. I could not be happier with the way things went yesterday.
And there were many Animals in the house to thank!!! 5150 and Boz - you guys are still the best! How is your elbow today Boz? Gave McFly a break in that department, but I must say, McFly stuck with me from sun up to sun down. He might be wishing today that he worked that Monolift lever instead...I don't know, but McFly - my forever gratitude in copius amounts.
Hoomgar, you too were right there whenever I needed anything. I didn't even have to ask you .
It does take a whole army of focused, energized, and willing people to run a meet the way I like it to be run, and I like it to be run smooth and quick, but my main priority is that everyone there, lifters, loaders, spotters, judges, all other forms of helpers, spectators, everyone has FUN!!!
Y'all thank me, but believe me - I am truly blessed that the right people show up - and I tip my hat to you all. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
Big Al - my wrapper man. I should have listened to you on the 300, but hey, now you get to say I told you so! And thank you for benching for reps. 35 reps at 285 is pretty sick. Mark Obey, the 43 repper, said he looked at you and knew he had to go into survival mode! LOL!!
Big Wides - put some weight on the bar!!! HAH! You rock, really you do :)
Well, feel like I jumped out of an airplane without a parachute and landed on the train tracks just as the train came by and drug me a mile or two and when I fell off in the intersection the bus ran over me....not to mention my sore throat. But yah know I wouldn't trade this feeling for anything... except maybe that elusive 300 on the platform....

I want to say that I had one of the best times I've ever had in a gym yesterday. I wasn't there to workout but by the end of the day that was taken care of anyway ;) LOL!
Kate, it was my pleasure being able to help you any way I could to help make the meet run smoothly. I know how much work goes into trying to organize and run any kind of event and it is always good to have help! Count me in for the next one too. The only way I wont be there to help you is if I actually come to compete! Might take you up on that. We'll see, I'm still breaking ground here.
Much respect to you for this and for just being the awesome athlete that you are. Your an inspiration.

another great meet! Kate always puts em together right!
I had a good time, but after loading and spotting all saturday and training legs sunday afternoon you know the kid had to make a call to my massage therapist to see if she can get me in monday night....
i'd do it again though....only for Kate !!!!
I almost forgot! Some pics and vids from the event:

Thanks for the pix and videos Hoomgar! I could have run back to the microphone a little faster after my lift, dontcha think?? LOL
I've been sick all week, so I haven't gotten around to working on the video clips yet.
I'll be posting them on www.Iron101.com sometime in the coming week or so.
Thanks again to all of the ANIMALS who attended and helped me out!!!! Love yahs!!!
PS You've got about 9 months or so to train for the next Delaware Power Classic - get to it!!!
We are training for this one dont you worry.....I better see 300+ on the bench this time from you or your gettin a spankin.
Powerfulkate

Hmmm... BigAl,
I think you just ruined my motivation for the 300 raw bench.
A spanking from BigAl is mighty hard to pass up!!!
I do have plans to get that baby in at a sanctioned meet by the end of the year....stay tuned.
