Happy Birthday big bro...you are always missed.

I wanted to do a heavier set of 20 reppers, but my legs are still trashed from doing the "Warrior Dash" this past weekend.

Thanks guys.
It was tough to do at 5:50am in the morning, but his memory always pushes me through.

We used to workout at Gold's Gym in Renton, WA at 4:30am doing 20 reps squats because it was the only time we could fit it in without interfering with our work.
Man, that used to SUCK.

Good times...

SANDBAG PICK & CARRY (40 ft each way):
Wanted to get some cardio, so I blasted my legs with this circuit.
My last pick was awful with this IronMind sandbag!

Laurion Burchal (240 lb Sandbag/200 lb Keg carry, then drag both items in a sled):

It's been rainy here in Seattle area, so the concrete in the Warehouse gets slick and made it tough to drag for Zack & Laurion.
Its like the floor "sweats" when we get alot of moisture in the air. I could feel my feet slide when I warmed up for the Log.

I was pissed that I hit the wall in the last part of the Chain Drag. FOCK!!!!
I was so nauseous for about 40 mins after that Medley. Stan couldn't believe that little beast Zack kicked our asses in the Medley.

Karl Gillingham sent me this video this morning. Brad is 44 years old and still fuckin RIDICULOUS in his lifting.

[HIGA MONSTER]

I had an awesome time! I threw out 2 ANIMAL shirts into the crowd before I did my demo, then I threw out 2 more after the lift.

It was a great honor to be a part of this show. I was paid a great compliment when the contest promoter Nic Younis said to me, 'Seriously dude, this was one of if not the BEST guest performances I have seen in the 14 years that I have promoted this show!"

Here is a video that my wife took of the exhibition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55diHKzo304

I'm really trying to focus on my Oly lift technique more. I've been ripping it off the floor and developed sloppy habits. Brendon has helped me alot with seeing mistakes when I lift.

Enjoy,
