Where I have been, assholes, and LMFAO!

I have been MIA lately.  Those who are married, have kids, etc. will understand, those who don't and are selfish pricks WON'T.  My wife had her knee surgery and is doing well.  I took some time to take care of her, make sure she got back to normal, and help her around the house.  She is doing rehab and is back to work and is about 80% or so!  She still has a little pain, but she was able to start lifting upper body again so right now she is SORE all over!  LOL!

During my sabbatical, I noticed a lovely comment.  Of course, this jackass used a fake email and fake name.  I cannot understand physical weakness, but mental weakness is even more perplexing.  I take some time away from the blog and I get jackass comments.  Go figure.  These types of TROLLS couldn't lift my jock strap if I took a YEAR off, yet they come on here and ask me, "Do you ever finish anything?"  That got me thinking.  Do I ever finish anything?  I have 30 minutes before I have to leave for work so let's explore that, shall we?  I will start early:

-football, grades 4-12.  Had some small time college offers but wasn't interested.
-high school graduation, 4th in class.  Honor Society, academic classes (which means I didn't skate senior year)
-USAPL PA Junior record, deadlift, 198 class, 534.25 pounds at 190 bodyweight
-ADAU 242 Open raw deadlift record and squat record, 485 squat raw, 560 deadlift raw, 222 pounds, 6 MONTHS POST PACEMAKER IMPLANT
-College graduate, Magna Cum Laude, Exercise Physiology
-Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, NSCA
-#3 Captains of Crush certified
-50-pound blob lifter
-3-25s pinch one hand
-Mash Monster Level 1 certified
-Hosted BFGS, massively successful grip contest
-ADAU 242 raw deadlift record, 641 pounds at 236 bodyweight
-MD Strongest Man, 4th place, first strongman contest ever, weighed 198.
-Pittsburgh's Strongest Man, 3rd place at 230.
-Saxonburgh Strength Fest, NO WEIGHT CLASSES, 6th place, lightest guy at 230.  Tied pro DON POPE in the Hummer Deadlift for reps.
-1100-pound tire flip for 3
-360-pound atlas stone to platform
-300+ arm farmers for 20 yards
-800+ pound yoke 20 yards
-725 meet squat at 217
-750 gym squat at 217
-675 meet deadlift at 217
-700 gym deadlift at 217
-715 gym deadlift at 230
-425 gym bench press at 230
-Married for 5 years

That is a short list that I came up with in 4 minutes.  I never finish anything!  FUCK!  Why, why god, why????

We are out of the November meet.  The reasons behind it are MANY and it was a TEAM decision, not an individual one.  Plain and simple.  There are more meets coming up, 1 meet is 1 meet.  Other things took importance over it, so that is that.  We are thinking April. 

If you really care, or just want to be a fucking asshole, I am currently cutting weight and looking to come in at maybe 198.  Thinking of doing a raw meet sometime 08' and going for 700+ raw dead at 198.  Now you know.  I also started a lil' bit of grip work.  Nothing too serious, but I can still close a #3 and I haven't trained grip since 2004.  Crazy.  I never finish anything gaddammit!

I won't be updating this too much.  Now and again.  We continue to carry on, some of the Beyond Strong readers and awesome and I appreciate the pass by.  Most are troll assholes who have nothing better to do.  Here is a tip: GO LIFT.  At 198 I will still out total Mr. "You Never Finish Anything".  That will be satisfaction enough.

Glad to hear everything is OK, Rick. Anyway, fuck the haters and internet warriors. They have to make up for their pathetic totals by trying to tear down everyone else that has even a modicum of success.

Sad to hear you aren't going to make IPA Seniors next month, was hoping to run into you then and say hello.

Good luck on the weight loss.

Hey Rick,

I don't have kids but life has been busy lately so I understand the lack of posting...and I am hoping to improve that this week as it's gone a little quieter. Hopefully not too long as being busy is a GOOD thing! Glad your wife's better too dude....stay strong
