Travis, I sent Norb a photo and he signed it for me and sent me his business card along with a really nice note. My Uncles saw him split snatch 363 which in think is the greatest split snatch of all time.

I have NEVER seen this….nor want to, but you ALWAYS want to knock before entering!!!! But he seriously feels more comfortable and he says, “Like the ancient Greeks”……I like a good solid pair of crosstrainers and shorts and a tshirt MINIMUM for myself!!!!! I also wear lifting shoes for squats with the wooden insert. SOLID!

Highland Games athlete and sometimes All-RounderThanks for the positive comments. I’m going tomorrow to take Wayne on the virtual tour. I gave him the York tshirt and he was wearing it the next day!

Highland Games athlete and sometimes All-RounderThanks,Tom, I’ve heard good stuff about this and I’ve been meaning to check in on it! My vision isn’t all that bad, but it is not what it was close up. On an eye chart I’m still 20-10 right and 20-15 left (my left eye had a torn retina and now I have some vision loss on that side likely the result of a car accident when I was young). I’ll check that stuff out!

Highland Games athlete and sometimes All-RounderAbe, what’s funny is back in the day a “gym” always had boxing! The old JWC gym had several boxers who would spar. We always had a speed bag and a heavy bag in the gym and at one time had a roped of ring for sparing!!!!

Highland Games athlete and sometimes All-RounderYou guys want to seriously now how that happened…..I wasn’t wearing my glasses and I NEED to wear them. However, you guys have to admit, that would be a pretty clever joke on how long Clark’s been around!!!!!

Highland Games athlete and sometimes All-RounderAl, that’s great news! I figured they’d lost it for sure!!!! Maybe the TSA had it and were trying to figure out what that stuff was!!!

Highland Games athlete and sometimes All-RounderAbe, I’ve done them. A couple variations I liked was doing sets of 5-10 reps where I did the half way up for every rep except the last in rapid fire succession. Another was the box squats where you sit down, relax the hips, and the flex up off the box. I think a little variety is always a good thing. Bill was a good squatter!
