Well I found my new gym and actually met a powerlifter (who's even in my program haha). He was wearing an EFS shirt in class, and is almost as fat as me. We were pretty much seperated at birth lol. The YMCA is pretty sick too; not busy at all, and there's an olympic lifting section.. as soon as the oly guys see my briefs, bands, boxes, and boards, they'll probably hate me, but for now it's cool haha

-loving the clean pulls
-doing a 3 day course starting Wednesday.. come next weekend I'll be a certified Weightlifting Coach haha. Deffinatly won't be coaching anyone for an oly meet any time soon but it'll be good to know the lifts

I always knew you were gay for Jeff, I specifically made this account to tell you that, and also to remind you that atleast me and rich both love you and all your cool toys that make me bench 275 and squat 500+ it makes me feel strong(er).. I really hope you read this because I found it awesomely creepy that I discovered your internet alterego Cricket_Fire, I'm calling you that from now on.
