Andy Dominates Conroe!! 4/5/08

[BMFScout]

I'm about to bump up the calories and my training though, so we'll see what that does to my weight. Freddy got the wheels turning and I'm going to be competing in two amateur strongman competitions in April, one in Conroe/Montgomery on 4/5 and in Baton Rouge on 4/26. Because of this I can't bring my weight (and consequently strength) down too much. That said I'd like to be under 305 for the comps, under 300 if I still feel strong.

Wish me luck guys!

F' The Lonestar Roundup!! Dibs on Robbie's couch!!

[BMFScout]

ooohh.. is Conroe/Montgomery in LA? I may be dumb... I'm down either way.

Montgomery County...I see

[jerryg79]

F' The Lonestar Roundup!! Dibs on Robbie's couch!!

f' robbies couch, its 15 minutes from my house.

If you guys go, i'll go. Can we bring beer, and does andy have our backs when we heckle the other competitors?

[Reckless]

Hmm, this should be interesting. Jerry around HGH induced men that can snap at anytime.:D

[Cajun]

More like "Andy gets dominated". This will be my first competition, details:
http://www.nastrongmaninc.com/pdf/entries/lonestar.pdf

I've never tried many of these events, and may not get the chance to train them before the comp. It should be interesting.

[jerryg79]

that's not even conroe proper, i goto school there, its 242 and 45.

What are the breaks for the weight classes?

[BMFScout]

Dibs on Jerry's guest room!

[Cajun]

What are the breaks for the weight classes?

Since it's just LW and HW, I imagine it's going to be 232 and up for Heavies and 231 and below for the Lightweights.

Hell, I may need a place to stay! I didn't realize I could mooch a place to sleep from one of you guys!

[Fredo]

231 and below for lightweights.....maybe I should go for the lightweight class! heh.

[jerryg79]

i've got a guest room, a study with a futon, and various air mattresses, all are welcome here.

Rowdy, there's a motel 6 down the street.

In for the futon if Jimmy has dibs on the guest room!

A year ago did you ever think you'd ever be considered a lightweight anything? ;)

Check out the events/weights on the flyer, if you're serious that would be awesome!

Just watch out for that Jerry Goss fella, he likes to try to have relaitions with you when your sleepin on his couch. ;)

[Cajun]

So you're saying that I should watch out for my corn hole?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Most definitely. ;)

[jerryg79]

cleared with the landlord, let's git it awn!

[Seth]

I should be there. dibs on next desirable bed.

The weight classes interest me, I want to see what the lightweights are built like.

Andy, any recco for strengthening the lower back for an event like this (I'm pretty sure that would be my weakest link right now)

Jimmy, I think the competitor may need the good bed, at least on firday night.

[Cajun]

Andy, any recco for strengthening the lower back for an event like this (I'm pretty sure that would be my weakest link right now)



Deadlifts, Straight leg deadlifts, Good mornings, Glute ham raises, weighted back raises. Do weighted abs too, sit ups, crunches, Russian twists. Core strength is vitally important for all of these events.

[BMFScout]

I relinquish my dibs to the athlete. Is it ok to "carb load" if we are just watching!

[Fredo]

If I got serious about my lifting, I could probably be ready for something like this in the late fall. Looking at the weights for the lifts, I probably wouldn't be that competitive. My upper body isn't what it used to be, but my back and legs kept a lot of their strength through the weight loss. The problem I see is if I really started getting my body in shape for something like this, putting on muscle mass would probably throw me into the heavyweight class and I have no business there.

[Cajun]

I relinquish my dibs to the athlete. Is it ok to "carb load" if we are just watching!

Not only is it ok, I highly recommend it! I plan on doing at least a little carb loading after the comp, and I hate to carb load alone.

[jerryg79]

Eggcellent, so then its a date!

I mean...uh I'll totally see you guys in april in a completely hetero way.

What? No squats (box etc) bench press or any of the other power lifting standards?

He asked for things that would target the low back. Technically, anything you do on your feet involves the low back, as do all of the powerlifting movements and most compound, multi-joint movements, which is what I'm sure you're referring to.

Box squats? Seriously? Is there anything you don't know?

Actually, the only thing I don't know how to do is spell. Although I'm not as bad as Jackassic.

I have a trainer who has me doing the latest and greatest in speed work. He box squats close to 500#. I don't mess with him much.

AH - all the lifts I hated. No wonder it is such a weak point for me. In my functional test for work the other day I was dyin. Even things like rollerblading as a kid made my lower back tired.

On a more positive, if not completely on topic, note, it looks like I might be in a better situation now for improving my diet and workout habits.

Shifting gears, can you still wheel along the san jac river near 242, a la the 'fish run' my freshman year?

Not supposed to but it hasn't stopped anyone. People do it anyway.

[RCcola55]

are there any later ones?, ive recently got back into training but im looking to try something outside of powerlifting. I think by May or if i bust ass maybe late april i could be competitive in the light wieght class and i could easly get up to 230.

[Cajun]

I haven't checked. Try http://www.nastrongman.com, and contests/upcoming.

[redcagepatrol]

Three pages? It's only been up for a day!:eek:

Anyways, hope to be there - we have a guest room and three couches that are big enough for people to sleep on if ya'll can handle a baby scream at 5:30am:D

Kolpecky lives a block away and has an air mattress:cool:

[jerryg79]

The party is in Spring, B!tches!

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Krabs, make sure you bring your camera and take lots of pictures of andy whoopin ass. ;)

[davido]

Cool! I guess that solves that. Whitney was already planning to be on a girl's trip out of town anyway. Perfect!

Are you ready? Are you ready? Let's get it awn, c'mon.

We can talk more about it in a few weekends.

[Cajun]

I went to Baton Rouge Sunday to train with the other LA amateurs, all 5 of them. Looks like I'll be joined in TX by some of my rather large statesmen.

If they're interested in carb loading after the contest this could get really interesting. :gigem:

[Fredo]

excellent. My exhaust guy is having his big anniversary party and barbeque for his business the same weekend. I saw him at Discount the other day and he was asking me if I was coming this year. I didn't have the heart to tell him. :)

so how did the training go?

[Cajun]

There will be no dominating in Conroe, I won't even be the strongest guy from LA there!

Training went pretty good for my first time with these guys. Worked with their tire (675 lbs) for a few reps. I'm rusty on this one, I had gotten pretty good on the tire over the summer. I did a couple sets of 5 and tried to work on speed. Moved to farmer's walk at 280/hand. This went well also despite not working this in months. My pick up still sucks, but once I get moving I'm decently quick, so that's good. Grip isn't an issue, so I just need to work on getting faster from the ground.

New events were the yoke, chain drag and Atlas stones. Their yoke is a chain yoke (bar across your back like a squat, with a heavy keg suspended by chain at either end). I have no idea what it weighed, but it didn't feel heavy. That said, the chains made it very unstable, but it wasn't too bad. I have a 650lb. yoke as part of a yoke/farmers/sled medley in Conroe, but it's a fixed yoke. The chain was 550lbs, and I smoked this one.

Last but certainly not least were the stones. I worked on lifting and loading the 225 for a few reps, and the guys helped me out with some technique. I loaded the 225, 250, 290, and 315 to a 54" platform. I was able to lap the 410 but not load it. All in all, not bad for my first time touching a stone.

I haven't worked overhead with these guys, but I've been training it in the gym. Since I'll have a 275lb axle for reps in Conroe, I've been training that on my RE Upper day, and have a best of 12 reps with no set downs. If I'm allowed a set down, and I should be, I should be able to get a couple more since breathing is my limiting factor, not strength here. I hit 11 for two sets yesterday, and I felt like crap, so I felt pretty good about that.

I'm starting to feel a bit run down, and may be getting close to overtraining. I'll start tapering the volume down starting next week and see if that helps.

[uglyota]

tire (675 lbs) for a few reps...farmer's walk at 280/hand...650lb. yoke ...chain was 550lbs,... 225 for a few reps,... 225, 250, 290, and 315 to a 54" platform...lap the 410 but not load it....275lb axle.
Jesus H Christ! If you wanna work on that breathing thing I may know a guy who lives in a state with not a lot of air and lots of "stones" May be able to work you into a training program ;)

[jerryg79]

so what's everyone's plan.

You guys should come down on fri. jimmy/fred, its barely a 3.5 drive from your house to mine.

Flem you coming down?

Anyone else, plenty of floor space.

andy you coming on fri night or sat. morning.

If andy is in on friday, i would assume he would need a good night sleep, so we can take it easy, couple 30's of stones hang out and bs. Sat. night is carb loading fo' sho!

[Fredo]

I assume we'd probably come down friday night leaving directly from work. I don't know for sure until I find out if Jimmy has some soccer game or other such crap.

[BMFScout]

no crap, soccer is over. I'm planning on coming in friday night with Fred and pulling a Jerry leaving early on Sunday. I fly out of Dallas around 3:00 on Sunday.

LET'S GIT IT AWN!!!

[jerryg79]

pulling a Jerry leaving early on Sunday.

good, so then i won't have to throw you out!:flipoff2:

scott/lynda, coop, karl, frick, kopecki, wolverton, BDR, and other houstonians, let's meet up somewhere over here on sat. night.

[Doug Krebs]

I'm probably in. Blair is going to a girls weekend...

[jerryg79]

ahh mad dog, sammy might be too, i'll change the sheets to the ones you like with the tulips!:gigem:

sweet, I've got the camera as you well know.

[BMFScout]

Sounds like a no-brainer. If Dave and Flem come, you have a carpool already.

Karl, are them crappie houses producing yet? They should be in the creeks/shallows in that shallow ass lake if there are any there I would think.

[jerryg79]

i'm guessing karl hasnt had time to sh!t much less fish since we put them out. He's a bidness man, and is always doing something.

[eight]

I guess I'll have to show up. When's this domination?

We could hit up the lake for some crappie. I think my boat will fit everyone.

[jerryg79]

ummm no fishing. the thing starts at 11. i assume it runs all afternoon.

[eight]

Sunday then.

I'll be coming up Friday night. I'm definitely not going to be doing any drinking that night, but I'll likely be a bundle of nerves so some socializing will be a welcome distraction. I'm game for just about anything Saturday night, as long as beer is involved. :beer:

[robertf03]

Since everyone I know is going I can't turn it down. I have a field trip that Friday somewhere around Corpus, not sure how I'm going to pull this off but I'll probably get there Saturday morning.

[Seth]

Im flying in from cleveland on fri night, going out through dallas, but coming back through houston. looks like i am arriving at IAH at 7:47. How far is that from Jerry's? I could see about cancelling the last leg of the flight if I can get a ride back into CS on Sunday, also gets me out of moving a "friend" on Sat.

This would also mean I would not be responsible for a vehicle so I could focus on drinking instead.

[jerryg79]

i can pick you up at the airport on fri. jimmy and fred should be getting in about 8:30-9ish so would be perfect.

its about 20 minutes from my house. no big deal.

i dont see it being hard to get a ride back to cs.

[Seth]

Let me see how big of a deal it would be to cancel the last leg of the trip.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

All you have to do is specify at check in that you want your baggage off loaded at IAH and that you will not be making the connecting flight. Trust me, it is as easy as that. Just verify that your luggage tag has IAH on it. ;)

If no luggage, don't frikin worry about it and just walk out of the terminal.

[jerryg79]

If no luggage, don't frikin worry about it and just walk out of the terminal.

yes it will prob cost money to try to cancel it.

i you have no baggage, just forget the connecting flight like ED said, i've done it a couple of times.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

They won't charge you (don't send me a bill if they do :flipoff2: ) to drop a leg, but if you are trying to reach a different destination (even if you know for sure that that leg has cheaper tickets) they will charge you.

[KrazyKarl02]

ummm no fishing. the thing starts at 11. i assume it runs all afternoon.

This is true, I did a European Vacation just like Chevy Chase last week, only with more pipe and less funny incidents. I might try to "wet a line" this weekend if I get time. I will let you know the crappie situation. From what I read at my internet sources they are starting and the white bass are picking up. What time are Jimmy and Fred leaving on Sunday?

[Fredo]

probably pretty early. Jimmy has a flight out at 3 from DFW, so we we would have to be home by about 1:30 so he can turn around and go to the airport.

[robertf03]

This is true, I did a European Vacation just like Chevy Chase last week

Are there any new dents in the Klogger and is Stonehenge still standing?

Krebs/Flem, bring an air matress.

I have:

2 couches if you choose.

Should be a good time!

[BMFScout]

FYI- This weekend has now been dubbed ADC. You heard it here first, so if Jerry starts bragging about how he made up the acronym, kick him in the junk.

It's going to be ANDYmonium!! He's InVINCENTible!!


Since we aren't making t-shirts for anything else, can we make shirts for this?

[Shaggy]

take some pics

Ugh.

No. Please no.

BTW, I saw on another board that there will be no alcohol because it'll be on campus at whatever college this is. You're an enterprising bunch so I know this won't stop you, just a heads up so you're prepared.

[Fredo]

You're an enterprising bunch so I know this won't stop you, just a heads up so you're prepared.


You know us all too well. Thanks for the heads up. :)

Honestly, I wouldn't want to risk getting "tate'd" from this event.

[Shaggy]

ouch

[jerryg79]

nice form fred. don't worry about the no alcohol, there is a taco cabana across the street that serves;). You also cant smoke on the campus, not that that affects any of us.

Jimmy, dont make me copy the email, where i proposed ADC originally.:flipoff2:

[BMFScout]

Don't worry Andy, we won't embarrass you.

I got dibs on being the exclamation point letterhead when we spell out "ANDY DOMINATES CONROE!" In our heads. Are there 20 of us ANDY-maniacs going?

"If I have to tell you one more time to quit spitting on the floor, I'll Tate your ass out of here!!"

[jerryg79]

I like "GEAUX ANDY!" better.

[Shaggy]

grrr

[BMFScout]

we only need 10 for that, genius!

[jerryg79]

[Seth]

Speak for yourself :flipoff2:

This thread kicks ass.

jimmy, being a letter head is kinda tough for some of us. I'll be the space.

[Fredo]

Just wanted to bump this back to the top and see how Andy was doing with his training. This should prove to be a damn good time.

[Cajun]

Training has been going well. I got to train events again with the Baton Rouge guys a couple of weeks ago. I worked on the carry/drag medley which was a 550 swinging yoke, 280/hand farmers, and the 550 chain drag. I've done all of these things before, but this was the first time I'd put them all together back to back. I was pretty quick, but got ran out of gas on the chain. The guys were telling me that what we'll see in TX won't be as hard as what we've been training, so we'll see. I was able to load the 410 stone to 54", but it took me several tries to lap it. I did some speed work with the lighter stones and worked on loading them without lapping. We spent some time playing with an Inch Dumbbell replica. (http://www.gregstott.com/generic51.html) None of us could pick it up one handed, but my brother and I were both able to press it overhead (2 handed clean, 1 handed press) with both hands.

Training in the gym has been pretty good too. My strength is up in just about everything, though I had a disappointing deadlift session yesterday. Work has been crazy this week, and I haven't gotten much sleep. I also didn't eat enough yesterday, so I'm pretty sure this is what got me.

As for the competition, I feel good about the overhead press, and pretty good about the stones. I'm not worried about the weights of the stones, but I've never loaded a series, and it'll be at the end of the day, so I don't know how this will affect me. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape, so the medley should go well, as long as I don't crash on the sled pull. Everyone says the truck pull is ridiculously heavy, so we'll see how that goes, and I've never done a Conan's Wheel.

Overall I feel good. However, having never done something like this I don't know what "ready" feels like. I know I've been training hard, so we'll see how it goes. Today will be my last heavy training day before the competition, so I'll have a full week of light recovery which should do me good.

[jerryg79]

Is your brother competing too?

[Cajun]

Is your brother competing too?

Not in this one. He may come to watch, though. He'll be competing in the two Baton Rouge events and maybe in Georgia later.

[jerryg79]

Seth, am i picking you up at the airport?

[Seth]

most likely, ill get you flight details soon.

[jerryg79]

The List

Andy - Fri night
Krebs - Fri night
Fred - Fri night
Jimmy - Fri night
Flem (sat probably)?
Seth - picking up at airport

I think Karl is going to meet up with us at some point on Sat.

I went ahead and ordered a pallet of keystone 30 packs, so i think we should be set at least for most of sat.

[Cajun]

He needs to bring me some cheeseburgers. I picked up some sort of bug from my youngest son and have been nauseous all week. Monday was awful, but I've been feeling better as the week has progressed. I've dropped 6 lbs since Sunday just because even thinking about eating gave me cold sweats. My gastro-intestinal system is under serious duress, but I need that weight back before Saturday.

[mudtoy67]

I think I'll be there...possibly with babymama in tow. What time is everyone meeting at Jerry's saturday morning?

Scott...carpool?

I assume andy will be leaving earlier than the rest of us to weigh-in and such. I plan on leaving the house around 10:15-10:30, so you can meet us here or at the comp. I'm making biscuits and gravy if you wanna show up early for breakfast:) .....

Andy do you need anything special to eat before the comp. Im going to the store tomm if you need eggs or other crap.

[jerryg79]

I think that's for before and after the contest. I'll need to get myself a bottle of wine for breakfast.

Wolverton and I invented a new strongman contest this weekend. Got no gas? No trolling motor? Broke the paddle? How do you move a 25' boat? The anchor toss.

Sounds like a nice workout.

Andy do you need anything special to eat before the comp. Im going to the store tomm if you need eggs or other crap.

Thanks! Do you have a coffee maker? I'll need coffee Saturday morning.

I'll bring my own food, probably a couple of PB&J sammiches for the night before/morning of the comp. If you plan on picking up milk I'll probably take some of that, though.

Grandpa: Well let me tell you something now, Johnny. Last Thursday, I turned 95 years old. And I never exercised a day in my life. Every morning, I wake up, and I smoke a cigarette. And then I eat five strips of bacon. And for lunch, I eat a bacon sandwich. And for a midday snack?
John: Bacon.
Grandpa: Bacon! A whole damn plate! And I usually drink my dinner.

Will do, or just call me when you're on the way back from Katy. What time are you coming back this way from Katy?

[redcagepatrol]

11:00 am at Lone Star College - Montgomery

Take I-45 north to exit #79 (Needham Rd./Hwy. 242/College Park Dr.).

- Turn left under interstate and head approximately 1/4 mile.

- Main college entrance is on the right.

[mudtoy67]

Huh?

You still taking Jake and Lynda down to Katy for a garage sale?

[redcagepatrol]

Will do, or just call me when you're on the way back from Katy. What time are you coming back this way from Katy?
I should be back here by 9:30. Lynda is staying over there tonight becaue the garage sell starts at 7:00 and her mom needed some help getting all the crap set up.

I will basically be bringing Jake out there to hang out with them during the Garage sell. It's not quite to Katy, just Dearfield Villiage which is on Clay just a little West of Hwy 6.

[mudtoy67]

Ok then. Will call.

does that quailfy him for his pro card?

Andy is the strongest man in Texas! he won he HW division right? that's awesome!

[mudtoy67]

Ya, he won Heavyweight (>231 pounds i think). He pretty much blew the others away on most of the events. I believe 1st and 2nd place of each class were good for an invitation to the national comp. Was a good time!

[Graystroke]

pics!?

[mudtoy67]

Oh...there's pics.:gigem:

[Sharpe]

Holy chit. Fawsome.

[redcagepatrol]

it was sweet to watch. On the first event he had to do an overhead lift some tires on a barbell and he was the last to go. He made 16 lifts and made it look easy while the guy in second could only make 11 lifts - and the rest of the group couldn't even get up 8.

Basically - he Dominated Conroe...

[jerryg79]

domination....COMPLETE!

excellent weekend. Andy put on a great show!

[Cajun]

sweet. did he turn green during the competition?

No, I managed to keep all my food down, though I would've put money on my losing my breakfast after the medley. There are some really good pics of me immediately afterward that really capture my mood. ;)


does that quailfy him for his pro card?

Nope, but it does qualify me for nationals. I believe at nationals the overall winner of each division gets a pro card. You have to win what NAS calls a "Platinum Plus" level comp to automatically get your pro card, this was a "Gold" level comp where 1st and 2nd qualify for nationals.


Andy is the strongest man in Texas! he won he HW division right? that's awesome!

No, and yes. I simply won this competition, and by only 2 points.


domination....COMPLETE!

excellent weekend. Andy put on a great show!

Excellent weekend indeed. A big thank you goes to Jerry for providing us, Jerry's Kids*, a place to crash and plenty of food and drink. I know it made the weekend much easier on me. Thanks to everyone for coming out, I know it was just an excuse to get together, but it was cool that you guys let me be that excuse. :beer:

The date and location for nationals has yet to be set.

I knew I was going to catch hell for my tights, but they worked so well and were so comfortable I don't care. They never got hot, they don't crawl like normal shorts, and most importantly I had no issues with chafing. I plan on rocking those from now on. :flipoff2:

I love the post medley pics. I think it's Doug's, but there's a great on of me laid out on the parking lot where I fell once I completed the sled drag. I think the one of me "setting up" on the Conan's Wheel is pretty funny. I was trying like hell to get the damn thing off the ground (turns out 700 lbs is heavy), and the MC says "he's really taking his time to make sure he's properly set up." I'm thinking "damn, I've already tried to pick this thing up once, I'm glad nobody noticed!" :laughing:

While I admit to not being a wheel guy, those are probably the best looking factory offered 5 on 5.5 wheels. I've only seen them offered on Jeeps, and they look better on CJ's than that turd.

[BMFScout]

Flem we've had this discussion, wheels make or break a car/truck. Not as much in the off-road world, but they can't be ignored. You saying you aren't a wheel guy, but then commenting on those wheels proves my point.

I don't think those were a jeep original rim. They might have come on jeeps from the factory, but slot mags have been around for a long time.

jeep used them from the factory as an optional wheel on early to mid 70's CJ5's, but kidney bean wheels have been around for a lot longer than that.

It was a day of Vincent domination last weekend. I won, Matt took second.:gigem:

Baton Rouge is next Saturday, 4/26. Other events I'm looking at:
Georgia's Strongest Man; June 7 (http://www.nastrongmaninc.com/pdf/entries/ga.pdf)
Carolina Strongman Classic; August 30 (http://www.nastrongmaninc.com/pdf/entries/Carolina.pdf)
NAS National Championships; September 13 -- 14, Provo, UT

The NC contest is the highest level, and the winner will get his pro card. Lonny, the guy that took second in Conroe really wants to go to this one. I was definitely going, but the weights are ridiculously heavy (the farmer's walk is 50lbs/hand heavier than the TX one), and it's 2 weeks before nationals. I'm still undecided about this one. The overall winner of each division at nationals also gets their pro card.

I'm not sure about GA, because one of the other guys from Baton Rouge wants to qualify for nationals, and needs to finish in the top 3 in GA to do so. There's another really good guy in FL that will be there, and he doesn't like his chances with Lonny, myself, Matt, and this other guy. I'd like all of the LA guys to qualify for nationals, and I'm starting to wonder if I wouldn't be better off training really hard all summer for the Fall competitions and skipping GA.

No, different pants but thanks for noticing sweety. That's where the Ortmayers and the Houston area guys train.



Is that my favorite announcer girl taping?

No, that's Ryan Bracewell's wife with the camera. He took 3rd in Conroe, and I've met up with him a few times to train over there. He's been putting up pretty impressive numbers lately, and I'm going to have to be on my game to beat him in Dallas.

In related news, I took 2nd in SC this past weekend. I was trailing by .5 points going into the last event, and I missed my last attempt on the max stone which would've given me the win.

[uglyota]

I used to know a Ryan Bracewell. Is his wife's name Suzie and they live in Utah?
