1.....RICKEY DALE says.....
GOOD DAY AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.....
boy.... i did good in one respect...i held my junk eating to a minimum over the holidays but found it hard to get in all the workouts traveling 2500 miles....but managed to squeek in a few so i do not feel too bad about it......have enclosed a great article by "dr rodie" below......and a few other tidbits to get us started in the new year.......
i would like to talk off the top of my head...............i hope i do not offend anyone but...............lifting/powerlifting/bb terminology in general is getting ridiculous................everyone is trying to impress everyone else with all the big scientific words they know...when in most cases it only confuses the average lifter.................and the beginning lifter feels like a complete fool......and the older lifter just laughs....because he knows they usually do not know what they are talking about anyway......
i realize if one has a phd in a subject he has a tendency to talk like that...but pleeeeeeeeeeease........for someone with a high school education....save the spiel for the higher ups in the area of elite academia......(or should i say for the smart ones...)
seems like everything has initials now.......i am going to catch a quick ptw (partial training workout) for my uws (usual weekly session) for this week...are you doing the rdcfrw (rickey dale crain flab riddance workout) to work your nmb (non-existent muscled brain) or??????
get real...talk in english....nobody is impressed when you talk about compensatory acceleration and can't even spell the word bench press right......
so...get back to the basics.......everyone will be more impressed with your knowledge if you know what you are tallking about than if you are using big scientific terms and have no clue?????
'nuff said ....now onto the meat (or should i have said amino acid enhanced bovine).....?????
2.....POWERLIFTING PARAPHERNALIA.....TRIVIA and STUPID QUESTION OF THE WEEK........
MY APOLOGIES TO JIM HART OF LINCOLN, NEBRASKA FOR MISSING HIM ON LAST WEEK'S TRIVIA QUESTION WINNERS......i know it hurt his self esteem to be left off of the winner's list..(just kidding jim).......
and this week's winners are.........mike fitzpatrick of massapequa park, new york.........(say that 3 times real fast)........joe sheerin of harleysville, pennsylvania and vince anello of middleburg heights (i think vinny used to lift for them).......oops........with black's health world as the answer.......
and this week's trivia question is....?????.....what two famous powerlifting teams went head to head many times in the 70's at the nationals.......
and proof it is never too late to start powerlifting and competing.........below is
Beatrice Maullin DATE OF BIRTH: 04-12-21. NOW 80 YEARS OF AGE. 5' 5"
Wt: 118.
I entered the Senior Olympics in 1995 when I was only "74" years old.
I WON my First Gold Medal. It was the Crown Valley Senior Olympics,
headquartered in Pasadena, California. To date, in the Sr. Olympics I have won 31 Gold Medals and they include 6 "World Records" and "Best Overall."
It has been confirmed, for some years now that I am the OLDEST WOMAN NATIONALLY, DOING "THE BENCH PRESS" WHETHER IT IS IN THE SENIOR OLYMPICS OR OTHER COMPETITIONS.
