After 2 years of beating up the cross bar, I smoked a 12' WOB saturday @ Cache. Thanks for all the help w/ my form guys! 13' actually seems within reach next year w/ better form. |

I noticed on the Database it didn't have your results listed on the Cache games. I only looked because I was looking at your history to see how long it took for you to go from Amateur C to the B class. I'm browsing several guys and just trying to get a general feel for what the average time is to go from C to B and then eventually to A. I also saw that in 2008 you were credited with a 13' WOB in the C class. Was it a lighter (42lbs?) implement? Same with 2007, but I saw that the Sheaf was 16lbs so I figure those were slightly lighter implements in those contests. By the way, I'm not stalking you. Just realized it probably looks a bit creepy. |

Can't rely on that. Backgrounds for various athletes vary. A college hammer thrower is likely to go from novice to A in a game. Powerlifters/strongmen take longer because they need to learn technique. Once they do, they rocket up. Grunts like myself w/ neither background move to A based on personality alone, & stay in B when they actually consider my numbers. |

No worries Ben - the 13' was with the 42# as a novice. Here in Utah the C's throw the 42. I don't understand it, or like it personally, so I moved up to B before I probably should have b/c I wanted to throw what everyone else in the world was throwing. I think I take a different understanding towards posting games on NASGA. I'm a B. I'm pretty steady in this class. B's don't have to worry about invite's or going pro someday. So as long as I can track my PR's, I'm happy. Whether marks are posted or not, I know what I've accomplished. Like Mr. Hafford related, I have no strength athletics or track background, so I doubt I'll make a good example for anyone. Ryan, I think I'm done for the year, I might do Some of the remaining SOS games. I'll have to take it week by week w/ my shoulder. I'll call you later bro. |

Hey nice job man! I was also at the cache games competing
lightweight, and I hit a pr in wob too! And it happened to break a state record, haha, but the thing is Ken, the athletic director might not end up posting the results. I have no clue why, but he did this last year too, those were my first games. I live in logan which is where he lives too, so I'm gonna try to get a hold of him, and if needs be get the scores and post them myself. But anyway, Good luck to ya in future games! And nice job on your pr! |

Yeah, I may not rely on the scores going up by themselves. I ended up putting my own cause it sounded like he wasn't going to. And thus far, he hasn't. Since he didn't last year, either, I just put up what I knew exactly for scores. I didn't have exacts for a couple of them, so I left those blank. It's easy to put up results and such, though. Cache was a good day for everyone! Well, almost everyone. Maybe not one of the guys I was competing against in Lightweights. Scott knows what I'm talking about ;) ... Getting your butt kicked after insisting you're the best is probably pretty embarrassing. Hope to see you as a regular at Cache! Congrats on the jump in WOB! I'm hoping to get some big improvements this winter for next spring. |
