I’ll take that beer!!!

I was just grasping at straws when I hear Big John…..I should have employed on of my ironclad contracts.

As for training, you right about one of my team members. Josh hasn’t worked out in a year and he still managed some freaky lifts…..if I could get that guy to train!!!!

Don’t worry, Al….there was never any threat of us thinking you were the mastermind of anything….except Gin and Tonics HAHA

Thanks, Brian, for making this possible!! Lord knows that as little as Al knows about the internet….I know even less and I’m the second smartest guy on here!

Was there some reason you wanted it to be Al? I’ve done that “feat” a couple hundred times, including a rapid fire version where one guy rapidly loads cement blocks while another guy breaks the, like 10 in ten seconds.

I will be back at McPherson again this year and me and John will be doing our strongman show again and that will be part of it. Thom

Boy, this thread took a wrong turn as some point…but what the heck, let’s dogpile on CHAD, he’s an easy target!!!!

All Chad needs is a couple of giant bands and Al to hogtie him!

You guys can lift more than me, throw farther than me, run faster than me…..but NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY out bullsh!ts me! Don’t make me whip out of my famous “contracts”.

If you got to Google maps and got to the location of the Dinnie Stones and the Inver Stone and go to street level…..you can actually see them!

Here’s a story on how events can be exaggerated over time. When I was a boy, about 11, I was in an accident and broke both legs, both arms, my hip, severe concussion, eye injury, and numerous broken ribs. I spent 3.5 months in a hospital and as a result, we moved to the next county over to be near my grandparents as I rehabbed the next 5 years to a complete recovery. Over the years, being a very small county (about 3500 people), an event like that is not forgotten. I heard many stories that I had both legs amputated, I was blind, I was permenantly in a wheel chair…..but he one that topped them all: I was doing a strongman show and I share that as personal testimony. A guy came up, seriously pale and as if he’d seen a ghost, and he said, “I thought you were DEAD”. So, stories get told, things get exaggerated, that happens.

I don’t have a mirror….they are gay…..and you can stick to your story about your mirror only being there to check squat depth….depth is not a problem if your ass cheeks hit your ankles! So that mirror must be there for “something”. HAHAHA
