I don't even want to know what the term handler means in your case. :gay2: :rainbow:
 
especially for your first meet you need all the help you can get . someone to help you with your gear , someone to take pics , someone to help listen out for your name if your 3rd out or on deck etc. . find someone calm that you trust to be with you , your nerves will be on edge as it is so haveing a wild eyed fired up helper might make you waste energy and adrenalin before you get to the platform . save the screaming and hollering for the platform . time and time again ive seen people burn out before their attempts .
 
well i know who would be perfect..but it may not work..
im gonna try to break my brother in he wants to start benching hes going for back surgery thurs but will have at least a 12 week recovery so itll be awhile before he can even help me get in my shirt let alone give me a spot
 
Hey good luck bro. I wish you the best. I hope you do well for yourself.

I plan to get into one myself in the next couple years. Don't expect to win though lol.

i like you and all bb, but if the oportunity came up for me and the wench to hit it off........ sorry you lose. :D

nothing personal but a woman like that is a once in a life time blessing.

so the moral of the story is...... if you dont take care of her someone will. :wink2: wish it was me.

guess its a good thing we seperated by 12 hours of I-95.

so anyway you got a meet picked out? you gonna wear full gear for squats, deads and bench? damn i wish i could bew there to see you get that cherry popped.

well i would like to do the Militia APF power wars in June
in the meantime id do any meet right now even a bench only to get the feet moist..

i dont have a squat suit yet but i working on it..pretty sure im going with Metal Pro squatter..my dead sucks so bad im not ready for a dead suit so i may just pull sumo since that suit is supposed to be great for sumo pullers :dunno:

if its tight enough to squat in it may be to tight to get down over the bar . on the other hand you could get it a little looser to deadlift in and those thick ass briefs should tighten it up nicely when you squat .
if you dont want to spring big bucks for a suit right now get a titan centurian , lots of people deadlift in them as well as squat and with those metal briefs its plenty stout enough for a 1st meet , makeing depth with that metal suit may be tricky . the titan will make a dandy training suit later on plus deadlift suit plus backup suit at a meet , some people even open with a lesser suit then jump to the big boy .

thnks dawg i will consider it!!!
 
a dead lift suit has loose straps and bunches at the hips. tight straps hinder lockout.

you can wear a trainer under your singlet to pull in. just make sure you stay under the bar.

a push/pull or bench only may be a good starting point. less to worry about and you still get that cherry popped. :D

doing a meet is more important than hitting big numbers at this point in the game. experience counts for a lot. the numbers will come, thats a given. i mean damn you only been at it a few months and you wanna out total gary frank at you first meet? :D

and i know you taking care of wench. if you wanna try ms pullinbig out its fine with me. just pay a bill or two fo you leave.
