Never surrender........

Wood,
I think one of the worst things I have ever experienced is not being able to lift weights. I know we have to heal but it is so hard to stay away. Just enrolled the services of George Leeman to write a program for me so shit is going to get real. What's your next show?

I'm planning to compete at the Littleton New Hampshire strongman on June 14. I am dieting down so I can be in the under 200# class, but am worried that I might not get there as I am right around 230# now (my damn scale at the house was telling me I was down to 215, so I was surprised to find I was closer to 230#). I have been losing 2# per week, so I should be down to 214 by the show, and then maybe I'll be able to do some water cutting to get below 200#.

The tape does help. I had to watch numerous vids to figure out how to tape a shoulder.

Yeah I completely put the first piece on wrong. I mean who reads the instructions first right? Either way I agree it helped and I will continue to use it.

Nice good people in NH, good luck with the cut. I cut 17 lbs for my last show and it was quite a challenge.

Been walking around at 215 lately. I had cut back to 199 for a show from 217 but put it back on through training and bringing more carbs back into my diet.

looking into doing battle of the badass in wallkill in June. Depends on were my training is and what it looks like inside my shoulder.

Upon actually looking it looks like badass is in July. Which doesn't hurt my chances of competing.

Nice. I'll let you know if I decide to compete at it.

Nah you won't hit this one it looks like it is a week before you NH Show. Looking at the show though maybe I will come up and compete up there. My first show as a 231 plus I do not get to pull trucks enough. That looks like a real good idea. Here is the app fellas:
