Seattle ABC on 3/27/10

[HIGA MONSTER]

I posted this on my "Ask the Animals" thread, so I apologize that I did not post it on this thread...

"It was a great day of training at the Warehouse.
Alot of my fellow "Higa Monsters" were there representing my training crew, and Mr Dead & sailinscotty came to workout with us for the first time. Excessiveendorphins has been to the warehouse before, but he was able to drive Mr Dead up to the ABC.

Even though Mr Dead and Scott have never done this type of training before, I wanted to make sure they were comfortable with us and test out some unique & unorthodox exercises.

Alex Whitaker drove up from Monmouth, OR last night to workout with us.
He is competing in the "Golden State Strongman Challenge" on April 17th. He had a rough day, but I know he will be back and ready for this show.
Farmers walk 294 lbs in each hand, then carry a 250 lb Keg for 96 feet:

Excessiveendorphins and sailinscotty doing 20 flips each with a 400 lb tire.
I didn't film the whole thing:

HIGA MONSTER pulling a 40,000 lb tractor/trailer. We had a hard time finding a level area to do it, so just had to adjust and nut up. However, it didn't go far to my liking:

Sadly, my training partner Ryan Petrosky dropped a 200 log onto his right foot while Eddie & Scott were doing their 20 tire flips.

Ryan's bone in his right big toe split in half, and he has a slight crack in his #2 toe. He will be out for at least 6 weeks and is on crutches & a boot.
This sucks cause he just got over healing his LEFT foot that he hurt in last Thanksgiving's Turkey Bowl. Now he injured his right foot, and will set him back again.

Thanks to Mr Dead for bringing some Animal Pak giveaways to the crew that worked out today. We also signed his banner and hope that we can do this again at the WAREHOUSE."

Aloha,
HIGA MONSTER

Now that is an ABC... Good to see my boy excessive representing too. Sorry to hear about the injury to your training partner Higa, guess that is what happens when you guys carry out inhuman feats on the daily.

Much respect for doing the ABCs justice in the Pacific Northwest.

Peace, G

Thanks G!
I got more pictures, but I don't have a Photobucket account. I do have one on Kodak Gallery, and will try to upload them today and give you all the link.

Yea, it sucked for my boy Ryan. He just got back from injuring his OTHER foot playing football in last years Turkey Bowl. Now he injured his right foot. AARGH!

He said that he was going for a PR on our 14" log with 200 lbs loaded on it. He cleaned it, but lost his balance a little and stepped back from the 2 tires that the Log was on. When he couldn't press it, he dropped the log thinking that it was going to land on the tires. NOPE. Landed on his foot instead. Sucks.

Have a good day!
