Another Fun Sunday, Slovakia, Dec 14, 2008

[b fold the truth]

I've posted a lot of history on a few other boards of a lot of major health issues I have faced over the last few years and given them...I was pretty happy with this:

---------------------

Had a long weekend in Slovakia and Hungary. Most of the guys there are either injured or taking a few months off for the off-season of Strongman. I spent 5 days sleeping on the floor and eating "cold cuts" mostly...so I was pretty exhausted by the time I got to Sunday...lol

Did a little grip contest at the gym on Friday and won by quite a bit.
Here is Richie and Gabor going head to head:

The Great Outdoors:

On the way home...

I was looking for Duck Tape on the Propellers...

Our plane had a flat tire landing with the flight before us. Watched them change a tire!

Cyprus from the air...

On Friday night we went somewhere in Slovakia and they put me in the VIP section for some type of show. I later found out that it was for the super stars of Slovakia, everyone who was famous from there. My buddies Feri and Gabor did demonstrations.

70kg dbell and 22 phone books

Trained on Sunday, nearly froze to death! I'd spent several nights sleeping on the floor, less than ideal food, and traveled A LOT during those days. Was happy with the stones (they were top heavy and rolled when you lapped them) and the tire for sure.

Very inspirational and congrats on the PR. You look to be in great shape compared to posts you made several months ago. (Not the one's where you were bedridden lol but other training vids.)

Also, that's a neat trick Gabor does with the phone books. He must dip his wrists in hot coals.

The purpose of this is to hold your end of the barbell up until the other guy taps out????

Thanks, I'm glad to be home where I can get some real food and a real bed! And back where it is warm!

That was Feri on the phone books, he is recovering from having a 12" tumor removed from his intestines and is still going through chemo! He is nuts with phone books!

Yeah, I don't really know how much weight was on the bar. I think one was either a 25 or 50kg plate, really wasn't sure. You hold on till the other guy drops...good for training!
