Ok, the Myrtle Beach meet did not go well for anyone on the team but Karl. Karl had a PR day with 2250 plus in the Masters class. The rest were on a kamikaze mission that was completed. You get those days sometimes. We'll reorganize and move on.

Now, every trip has its moments and this trip's was Ben and his hour long shower. I have been around some slow to get ready people but Ben added some new and extended flavor to the list.

I guess the weirdness started on Friday night when it was time to hit the hay. We shared a room at the beach. It was alittle cold there with the wind whiping off the beach so the room was chilly. It's time to call it a night and I hit the bed with my long sleeve shirt on. Ben is on his bed and asks me why I am wearing a shirt to bed! This is strange, who gives a rats ass, apparently BEN! He keeps asking me this. How do you answer this question? Finally I figure out he wants to see how fat I am right now-the answer is semi fat! So I am Old fat hairy guy now! Makes no difference to me really but it was a odd moment in time, sort of like high school with dudes in the locker room giving each other hell I guess. He is a shaven ,axe wearing, tan pretty boy so I guess this mattered.

The real funny part is the next morning. I am not familiar with the Ben shower ritual as I had been I would have gotten up before he did had i known. Anyhow, he gets up and does his thing which turns out to be many many things! To top it off I had to pee bad!!

The first of many is teeth brushin'-standard. Then I heard the electric razor-standard. Then shower, standard. Next hair dryer,again standard. I am rolling over and over trying to remain as comfortable as possible while having to number 1! I am thinking ok,maybe 5 more minutes. I can make it,tuck it under and it will pass. I wait and wait. I guess this is hair gel time for his semi fohawk(guess this how it is said)I guess this is artwork so good hair takes ALOT of time. The pee tries to escape and I consider finding a bottle but there is none then I HEAR:

The f'in electric shaver going off. What the f is he shaving now, depubin'!

Pain is the groin grows and is magnified in the brain.

Then the hair dryer goes off AGAIN!! Is he drying the twig and berries now! WTF...

More toss and turn in the bed...I want to run around the apartment like a two year old grabbin his junk with NO SHAME!

I hear the sink running again and almost crap myself thinking he is back in the shower. I guess some touch up is needed before he goes to WEIGH IN for a powerlifting meet with a bunch of dudes who do not care at all. The door opens and out he goes and all I can say is WTF dude? The next 10 mins I spend are happy moments as I finally get the bathroom and releive myself like Austin Powers when he is reanimated in the first movie!

Yes this happened,
Spud

Wednesday 40mins stepper, Thursday 45mins stepmill


Wednesday
-Got a pair of jack briefs to work with. Did some boxes with 500x2x5sets. Still need to cut the legs down a couple of inches but I like the feel of them.
-long ab strap pulldowns 2x35
-one leg rev lunges on body masters squat with 2 plates per side 3x10 per. Used small stability ball under step back leg. Eases some of the pressure and allow a much greater stretch in the muscle belly and joints
