Well, I would say he did no better than 2nd…..HAHAHA.

This really is quite epic, Chad taking it to Al! I can’t wait to hear the details. They are probably at a “spa” today after the pub crawl last night in Dublin!

Thanks guys, we just have a few minutes before dinner. Al did get 2nd, he needed to pull 302.5k on his last pull and got it off the floor well, it just got stuck. he realized later it was the dreaded 666 lbs! They never try that in the gym. I really couldn’t have done it without him, he coached me up and pushed me on most lifts. On my trap bar DL, he told me what I needed to do to make it a tough pull for him. He also had caught a virus and didn’t feel the best.
It was a perfect meet for me and it may never work out like that again. I’m very thankful to Al for getting me involved and helping as much as he did!

[KCSTRONGMAN]

Just so you all know, there are a bunch of guys congratulating you on KCSTRONGMAn as well.

Great job to both of you guys. That is one number I refuse to put on anything, if the jump comes out to that i always go 305, lol.

I’m finally back! I was going to post yesterday, but as tired as I was the only thing I got accomplished was getting the meet report up.

Chad and I had a GREAT TIME. WE got LOTS of new stories, from the meet and from our travels. Chad had an unbelievable meet, and I’m very proud of him for this MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT. I know how hard he has trained, and how close he has been so many times.

The only problem I encountered from him becoming World Champ was that I had to carry his bags the rest of the trip, and he only responded to me when I addressed him as “Champ”. haha Al

[Chad Ullom]

Come on, Al…I thought that was going to stay between us!

[Al Myers]

Sorry Champ

two guys from little ole kansas!! well done!!

[Thom Van Vleck]

Hey, Chad, “Champ” is better than the other nickname Al uses for you when you aren’t around! HAHA

Chad, Don’t listen to ole anvil-head. He is just making things up to try to “create a stir” amongst us Dino Gym Guys. We are too tight a group for that – plus I think he is still sore from that SW Postal Match whipping we gave him.

[Thom Van Vleck]

Chad, you have to ask yourself which is more believeable….me being sore about the whipping I got….or Al making up nicknames for you! hahaha
