Mason, Lesley and Max are all Maxbook friends now, I have a feeling he is going to round up a few more before we leave.
The trophies are so big, they wont fit in our luggage, not sure what we'll do if he happens to win one.
i cant believe he is being interviewed for TV, what a fruity ass.
He has eaten A LOT of food today, Mason is pushing him a bit, they get on really well.
One waiter pegged Max as 28 and another at 25, funny shit.
Lesley is 22 and got asked for ID, Max was told he wouldnt be asked, the waiter was shocked when we told him Max was 18.
Mason looks 30 with his beard lol, he digs dead people, going to be a mortician
Some of the Russians are huge, and the guys even bigger. Funny at weigh in this morning, very funny, very, very funny.
They are re writing the rule book in the morning regarding the deadlift bar. apparently no one from WPC was aware it stated the bar had to be 7', we measured the bar and its 7'6". We explained that we used a 7' bar at our Nats because of their rule book.
They said they had always used a 7'6" deadlift bar. It would be nice if someone read the rule book. All our lifts were done with a 7' bar at Nats, valuable kg wasted. Good news is that we will be able to use it from now on. They are meeting at 7.00am to change the rule.
We have 3 monolifts, same as Nats, but the stage is around 80cm high, so the crowd can easily see, the Head Judge sits in a massive high chair, the warm up room is behind the lifting area, closed off, with just a ramp leading up, no steps, its a VERY proffesional set up.
Mike Lambert provided boxes of Powerlifting USA, I got stacks of issues....awesome, Nina will be wrapped.
Its 12.30am here, Max has been upstairs sleeping for hours, he would be well over 80kg tonight with the ammount of food he ate.
Muscle Milk upon awakening.
Weigh in
Large steak
Muscle Milk
Chicken Ceaser salad
Muscle Milk
Some chicken pasta dish
The meals are HUGE in the States, nothing like home, the US know excess.
Max is still stunned by how friendly everyone is over here, from lifters, TV reporters, waitresses, organizers, everyone we meet really.
If they are held here next year, Mike and Linda are bidding, I want a massive entry list from PTC and Australia, we'll be able to plan from further out, not last minute, only spewing Nina and the kids cant be here.
Jesse, the Chicago guys are cool, none of them know who Derrick Rose is, I'm not shitting you lol
