OK, I was bored silly with my old log, and from the responses, or lack thereof, so was everybody else.  So I'm doing a new one...and I'm going to make it different.  Just like I'm going to make my old ass different as well.  Different outlook, different goals, different log.  Just to warn you the log will actually contain alot less of lifting/throwing/conditioning...although that will still be there...but more general stupidity and things relating to nothing.  Feel free to join in. 
 
Let us begin with a classic:

Are you saying that you're going to start competing in the consecutive amputee powerlifting circuit?

I've been learning alot about the Dark Ages lately (long story).  Recently been learning about the Lombards a tribe of Barbarians that eventually settled into what is now Lombardy (go figure).  OK so at one point the Pope asked the Franks under Charllemagne to kick their asses.  Which he proceeded to do and more or less created the Holy Roman Empire because Italy and Gual were then united.  Eventually there was a set of Lombard wars after the First Crusade where the Popacy (Papacy, but Popacy sounds better) supported the Lombards and Simon DeMonfort (ya the same guy that messed around in England) against the Holy Roman Empire.  I just can't figure out how it went from point A to point B, anybody know?

When we were in Inverness we wanted to go to see some of the places where they filmed the movie.  There is a site that lists the locations of different scenes and how to get there.  Ran out of time.  maybe next trip.
 
Oh and I figured out the Lombard thing.  Frederick II married the princess of Jerusalem and had a son that became heir to the ducality of Jerusalem.  The Popes couldn't have that since they had excommunicated Frederick for being an ahole despite the fact that he had become Holy Roman Emporor.  They would have supported anybody short of the Saracens against FrederickII.

Oh and ya, training.   This is going to be kind of hard to follow, but it's sort of how my brain works in real life so...
I wanted to try to qualify for the Pan AM Masters Oly meet.  In 45 -50 I would need a 175kg total at 85kg of bodyweight.  I weigh about 94kg.  When I try to diet I don't lose weight.  When I try to lose weight by conditioning I eventually get bored and that doesn't work either.  What does work for me is setting a goal and training for it.  So I want to do a Triathlon.  Just a short one.  I did a few when I was into that sort of thing.  they were fun.  I want to be the fat old guy that looks rediculous on his bike, that makes everybody stay at the end but still finishes anyway.  THAT is how I am going to lose weight.  Truth is I don't seem to be that worried about the 85kg thing anymore, i just want to finish the freakin tri.  500 - 800yards swim, 10 - 15mile bike, 5K-10K run.  From point A to point B, on my own.  I still have a bike, was running sort of before the snow hit, and can get to a pool.  I live in Triathlon county USA so there are a crapload of them to chose from.  I'm hoping for August or September.

There is a triathlon talk board with a strength training section.  Those people's routines make no freakin sense.  Who came up with them?  Way too much, too much fluff not enough meat.  They all say they want to "get stronger"...not that like you won't.

Back in the late 80's I did a biathlon...run/swim  and swam the Escape from Alcatraz. That was serious fun.  There's no way I could do those now, now at 300 pounds.  I'd have to drop to about 200-210.

Wow, that's supposed to be a bad ass swim!  I know you did sailing so it makes sense you were strong in the water.  I'm hoping just by doing this my weight will drop.  I may be wrong but...ah well it is what it is.

Oh ya, I got a nice set. 25's, 20's, 10's and 5's.  No 15's though.  a mix of Kraibergs, Wright rubber and Kraibergs with Werksan logos.  made a platform out of 3/4" sheet and a cow stall pad.  need a better bar though.  Just using some cheap generics and they ain't all that happy.  The end of my last Olympic cycle I was getting 65/85, figure I need 75/100.  My form is horrid.  Been learning the split snatch which has helped.

Andy need some direction: look for some 25 lbs bumper at the circumference ( big ass word for a Southie punk). For the son - doing his power cleans from the floor. Do you have prices ? Maybe bring the hockey duffle bag to Boston Barbell and go shopping there.

Look at Wright rubber:
 
The stuff I have gotten from them has been the best and at the best prices.  They have far and away the best inserts for the affordable bumpers.  Last time I saw your son was at Maine the year we did the Farmers walk he must be huge by now.

That said...I just saw The Hunger games for the first time.  was interested enough to start the series.  normally I avoid YA fiction like the plague but figure I'll give it a go.  About 1/2 way through the first one yesterday.  Anybody else read them?

On a positive note.  6 years and I still ain't dead!  How's that huh... as far as I can tell my brain is still mostly operational.  Right eye is still gone to hell but f' it I got 2 of them.
 
 
Finished the first book in the Hunger Games series.   Great story but I don't like the single point of view, especially that of a teenage girl.  Wish she would have done like the movie did and occasionaly expand it to the view from the "audience".  Probably start the second tomorrow.
 
Also need to start getting ready for a state exam coming up.  It's the one for the School Building Leader Certificate.  That is the Principal exam.  If I pass that I might automatically get the School District Leader (Superintendent) CAS from St. Lawrence, then I need to fork out another $400 for the state test in that.
