      I would do it, but I am having a strongman meet that day, and I have a grip weaker than a small kitten (and that includes the kittens lack of opposaable thumbs). Thinking about coming out for the record day the next day though.

          Between the naked frolick on the beach pic and now the naked Thom for Jenny Craig photo, this site has gone south.

          Good work Thom

            I can appreciate that. You see the same thing with education. I for one always appreciate seeing our boys in blue out and protecting us.

                What I liked about the old timers were that alot of your strongmen were your wrestlers and your bodybuilders as well. Being strong was not exclusive of having a strong physique and being able to use that power to help you win wrestling matches. This is part of why I like to compete in strongman, powerlifting, HG, all-round, naha, etc. I think it is cool to be well rounded. We now live in a world with too much specialization, IMO. I want to be strong across the board, like the old timers-not in just one capacity.

                  The Gotch I was talking about was Frank. Did you do any cross-buttosk manuevers in your meet this weekend past, professor?

                    Shawn Baeir went to his daughters school for something or another. He saw their show and tell wall and there was a pic of Gotch on it with an explanation of how it was this kids great great grandpa or something. I think Shawn plans on arranging a marriage

                      I just read a wrestling book by the russian lion last year. It was interesting, but not revolutionary (as I expect it would be difficult to be in a sport which dates to ancient civilizations). I did find it humourous that “Hack” referred to the headlock or head and arm as the “cross-buttock” and someone who was a proficient headlocker was known in the book as a “cross-buttocker”. I guess I would rather be known as having a good headlock.

                      I bit of trivia-Who was the Iowan to beat George Hackenschmidt like an impudent wife?

                              I would say the barbell is the distance off the chest as required by the length of the lifters forearm. The way it is written, with it touching the chest, I would be completely oout of position to do a floor press. The bar would either be too far in front of or behind my elbows. Any time I have done a floor press, the BB is a couple inches off my chest in order that by elbows are under the bar so that I can press it. Maybe even, instead of taking it off blocks, take it out of a rack or get a lift off. Then lower it until your elbows are on the floor. Press it on a press command. That way there are no advantages given by the rule or the equipment. The only advantages would come from the lifters own leverages. anyhow, food for though. Hopefully not just incoherent ramblings

                                  We made it Timo. Glad you made it out there with us. Those finger deads were unreal. You need a club, so we can have a meet in Finland!

                                  Thanks Chad,

                                  certainly our basement club in my village is way too small 🙂
