This weekend a couple of NX Level's trainers are competing in various strength competitions. Lance is doing a powerlifting meet in Dubuque, IA with our friends Eric and Heath. I'll be going to coach/handle. This means I will be doing hair and makeup before the meet starts, making sure their Evian is at just the right temperature, and offering my cheek for any limp-wristed slaps in case they miss a lift. Actually I'll be guiding them through warm-ups, keeping them up to date on the order of lifters, making sure they are eating and drinking enough, and keeping them focused on the lifting. After the meet we will all head over to Diamond Jo's Casino and hopefully win our beer money for the night and then drink and people watch. Casinos are always good for that.
Jake is in Columbus Ohio today competing the Arnold Amateur Strongman Show. As of this typing he is doing awesome and is in third overall. If he finishes in the top 10 today then he competes again on Sunday. He is a light weight pro but is competing as a heavy weight amateur. This means that he has not had to watch his weight at all, much to the delight of me. His nickname is Sugar because, well, the guy loves sugar. I once saw him eat two gas station cookies in one bite. And these cookies had some heft to them. He almost choked. The song of the day is in honor of him.
Song of the Day:
It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this or that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly, concentrate their energies; do the thing – “carry a message to Garcia!" -Elbert Hubbard (from the essay "A Message to Garcia". Highly recommended)
