Baastan and Murph's Strongman Meet.
Wow, we had a great time up there at Murph's meet. Throughly entertained from the git go till the end and the trip home. Murph had us laughing the entire time. So here are a few tales:
Day 1 Thursday
The thing about flights everyone hates is being jammed up against someone you don't know. Luckily I am good with Dale but he hates being touched so pretty much all the flights had us as touchy buds. The flight going in was full and of course Dale and I were together with the other biggest guy on the plane all in one row! Everyone else was normal small except us. The dude on the window was 6 foot 3 or 4 and about 240 to 260, Dale in the middle at 5 11 and 330ish and me hangin off the aisle at 5 7' 245lb with about a foot of me in the aisle. Had stewardess ass and the drink cart bangin me up for 2 hours,
Murph gets us at the Airport and we are starving so off to lunch it was. The whole purpose of thetrip was to hang out, help Murph at the meet and in general eat alot of good food. Steak tips at the New Bridge was the first meal of the trip. Never had them before Bastaan style and they were great. The waitresses were suppose to be known for being really rude but they must have had a drink or two during lunch as our server was only slightly rude and ignored us for a very small amount of time.
Off to the new gym. I had been up here in 2006 for the Boston Seminar with tate, kroc, vinny d, matt rhodes, wendler and a couple of others. That gym was tiny compared to what he has going on now. The first time I walked it I thought of a maze or pagoda like in thr Bruce Lee movie, Enter the Dragon(think that is the right one with kareem abdul jabbar). Steep stairs everywhere and lots of huge rooms. The building is a v shape with 4 floors. Murph has 3 of them right now. Really cool set up. After hanging out for a bit off to the hotel for a quick laydown.
Hungry and eating time again. Murph comes and gets us and it is off to the 8/10. On the way, I hear a siren go off and I say what is that. Murph goes we are getting pulled over. The car pulls next to us and I hear this cackleing laugh like the a witch would do and then he speeds off. I ask what that was about and he says Mark was just messing with us. Murph worked at the jailhouseand retired from there recently so he is the MAN of Everett so no trouble would be fall us anywhere in Everett as I found out.
The 8/10 is another good barrr and eatery. Had a great burger and mac and cheese that was beyond awesome. Dale ate a whole pizza plus apps. The cop that pulled us over, Mark, otherwise known as Z came in an humg out with us for about a hour and half on the clock, Shorlty thereafter, 2 more cops hung out withus too for quite awhile. Plenty of bullshitery. The topic of course came to what were we going to do after dinner and the girly barrs was tops on everyone's list, well not Dale's as he is a cheap bastad. There are a couple of choices. Hot and sexy and partially nude or fully nude and questiable talent, shootings and c sections. I didn't know about the shootings till later.Guess where we went?
The joint was called King AAAthuuuurs. You have to drag the a and u out. It is mandatory in mass. I told him it was like the departed, the town and good will hunting. He tells me they are all fake accents and schools me on this. Before the weekend is up I will have it down. Bac to Aaathuurs, This is a dive of course as pretty much every building in mass looks this way.But true to its word, fully nude and then some. Lots of vibrating gentialia if you catch my drift. Murph orders some whiskey but they don't have what he wants so she tells him they have Johnny Walker red and black. He asks the price difference and she says none(not much going on in her head to tel you the truth) so immediately he says they don't have it and they are giving him some local rot gut. I stick to the yagermeister adn beers. It proves to be more then plenty Hangover is on the horizon for the next day. Later, we see Z at the gym and tell him where we went. He asks us how many c sections we saurr and then tells us about some guy who took 3 45s bullets to the chest in the doorway of King Athuurs just a few weeks back and tells us the entire story. My and Dales only thought was knowing this information beforehand would have certainly changed our minds on where to go(well probabbly not with fully nude aforementioned gentailia talent) But we survived. The next day would be very painful as we struggled to get up and get some training in.
Day 2 later.

-chains off 595x5,555x6,465x8

Thursday through Sunday I thwer in Slat Lake City at Neil Rouzier 3 day part 1 conference hormone therapy. Most everyone was a Doctor, PA or Nurse. I asked if it was possible to take the course and they said yes so off I went. THe intensity of the course was great and I enojoyed all of it. Pretty much the goal was for physicians to be able to optimize hormone therapy utilizling bioidentical hormones(synthized from plants) in most cases. The hormones covered were growth,progesterone, testoterone,dhea, thyroid(free t3 mostly),melatonin, estrogen. We spent alot of time going over case and clinical studies and labs to find the best therapies for people. His main focus is restoring levels to that of our youth(20 to 30s) for the remainder of our lives. Really fantastic nuts and bolts course.
Now for the funnnies. Pretty much the main question that was asked when they worked up to ask was where was your practice. When I tell them I am not a physician and don't have a practice, the look on their face is priceless(pretty much fart face as in when you smell one that someone unloaded on you) They continue on with some minor pleasantries then move on.
I only had one real douche moment with this little tiny plastic surgeon from LA(i mean maybe 120 to 130lb)He friended me on the bus ride back from the compounding pharmacy we visited there(really cool by the way) You could smell the test when you walked in the front door! Anyhow after we get back and get into a lecture on estrogen he later asks me if I was hanging in there? He then something about FSH and I reply follicle stimulating hormone? I then look down at the 120lb he is and say ," when you have 12 years plus practical experience you learn a few things". He told me earlier on the bus about this guy's chest that he worked on that was perfect when he got done, but the guy wouldnt let him use it for testimonial. After his comment and my rebuttal I almost added, "Now go suck the fat out of some dude's tittie!(a get your shine box moment in my brain/goodfellas)
I really had no trouble keeping up with any of it. the abbrevations(like any cult) were the hard part.
Backing up alittle I did go to this concert in the park for about4 beers. It a local concert series there and attracts alot of people and it was only a couple blocks away. I managed a hour there, the beer was fine. There was a wide spectrum of ages there from teens to 60s. The hard part was seeign that the chicks were tougher then the dudes.I only saw a couple of dudes in decent shape. THe rest had no muscle tone, boobies and little baby belly fat. Also apparently the rolled up jeans shorts for dudes is back in and it was everywhere. THe only thought was Jesus I hope nobody invades us cause it will be a easy rout. The chicks seemed tougher but not in shape. I realize this is a outdoor concert and that not everyone is soft like this but the picture was not pretty especially the boobies that flopped when the dudes walked!
Back home MOnday night then off the Boston to hang out with the Murph next weekend!
