Hi Brian

On the advice of my physiotherapist, I need to drop out of the full meet and switch to bench press only. My back is a lot better than last week, but I'm in no condition to take a heavy squat or deadlift. Let me know if you need me to help in any capacity during the squat and deadlift portions of the meet

Adam

Gary, I'd call your depth for you if I had to crawl to the platform. Hell, I'm already hunched over anyway so I'll have a perfect view of parallel!!!!

I just don't know what to do. I can't even bend over to tie my shoelaces and you want me to squat? I'll take back my request for now, and maybe we can figure out the situation on Friday.

Brian: Sorry for being a pain, but Gary keeps dangling the "Ticket to World's" carrot in front of my face and getting to go would mean more to me than anyone could possibly realise.

OK HERE'S THE DEAL...WHEN THEY CALL OUT THE NAME ADAM PRICE...I GO TO THE PLATFORM...SQUAT MY 400 (about half of your lift)....SAME FOR THE DEADLIFT...YOU CAN HANDLE THE BENCH...I'LL ENSURE THE FINAL RESULTS PAGE IS TAKEN CARE OF...(being an international judge has its benefits)...THEN WE ALL GET TO GO TO BIRMINGHAM !!!

Yeah, I'm not sure that's going to fly. Besides, if you've got the energy to do that, I'd rather you showed me what a World Record Squat looks like. That's what I want to see.

It was my understanding that the first and second place finishers in each age and weight class go to Worlds. If that is the case, how the hell do I get first or second place when Cory Evans and Matt Phillips are in my weight class? I've seen Corey do speed reps with my max bench!!!!! The only shot I would have even if I were 100% is if a tree fell on Corey on his way to the meet. But, knowing Corey he'd just press it off and keep on walking.

So what's the plan Captain Canada? I think the only feasable plan to get me to Worlds is if we hit Corey and Matt with a truck in the parking lot.

Got a truck?

Awesome.

If you're squatting for me, I'd like the following

600 opener
695 2nd
745 3rd.

I've always wanted to squat like that. I'll let you go for the world record under your own name. That's only fair.

If you're offering your deadlift services, can I get a 550 deadlift as well?

Back Update: Another loud gunshot sounding pop from the lower back tonight. Feels not too bad now, but it did the same thing two days ago so I'm hoping for the best, but not holding my breath. I'm obeying my physio's instructions to the letter as far as heat, ice and stretching and it seems to be helping.

And yes Ryan, I think they'd notice if you shaved your head and tried to look like me. I've got a nicer shaped head !!!
