I usually don't post articles from "estrogen nation" but since Andy Bolton wrote it, then it probably has some good info:

STOP EATING!!

feeds@yuku.com (sketch06) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:34:51 GMT

So I was looking around the internet and came across an article about the whole eat-every-three-hours debate - (HERE) In this article they question the idea that eating more frequently increases your metabolism. In fact they actually note studies showing that not only is that false, but that NOT eating doesn't decrease your metabolism either. They then go on to show the "true" advantages...

I passed the PE test. Now I get to sign and stamp drawings, specifications, and reports, oh my!

Which is best for Strongman. Squat or Deadlift?

feeds@yuku.com (GregCook) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 22:19:40 GMT

1. Do you think squatting more weight will make you a better strongman?
2. Or do you think deadlifting more weight will make you a better strongman?
3. Or none of the above. Just implement training?

619 Muscle Writeup

feeds@yuku.com (BS Olympic Gym) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:56:20 GMT

First off want to Thank my friends, Donnie and Kristen Rhodes as Well as Pete(the owner of 619 Muscle) and to the people at Worlds gym for hosting this event.

Event 1
Axle Clean and Press 265lbs-was supposed to be clean each rep, it was changed to clean once and press due to the fact that it had been raining and there was a lot of moisture in the air.I had trained the clean really hard and not so much the endurance of high reps, I got 6 on this, they all felt easy, but...

2009 Highlights

feeds@yuku.com (Lance Foster) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:48:13 GMT

Here's an interesting question as the year draws to a close:

What are some of the personal highlights or memorable performances/events of 2009 for KCStrongman?

Here's mine -

The coolest and most important event that I was honored with the opportunity to be a part of was when ET, Tim, Conan and I put on a strongman demo for the kids at Camp Quality.

new to columbia, mo

feeds@yuku.com (landrum) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 03:13:57 GMT

Hello, all. I recently moved with my wife to Columbia, MO. I've been lifting at ProFitness but it is just to foofooy for me. I'm looking for someplace locally that I can train at where I would have access to more powerlifting types of equipment(GHR, good squat rack etc.).

If there is anyone here that knows of a place or can point me in the right direction or can put me in contact with someone or someplace I would be very appreciative. Thank you.

How's your training going?

feeds@yuku.com (JWC III) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 22:15:04 GMT

Ok, things are a little slow on this board and I'm getting tired of checking it every day looking for something new! So how about we discuss how our training is going and maybe offer some feedback.

Currently, I'm in my off season for throwing. Highland Games is my, and will continue to be, my main sport. I've been doing some Highlander and some USAWA stuff, but those will continue to be "cross training" projects for me and not my main focus. I'd say...

Kirksville Games Results

feeds@yuku.com (JWC III) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 06:24:54 GMT

Well, after much gnashing of teeth, I have "most" of the Kirksville Games results entered on the NASGA.com database. Everything but the C class and for some reason I can't get it to go! But I'll keep trying.

On a side note, entering data on that database is the most monumental pain in the rear I've ever encountered, that's why it's taken so long. Every year I dread this part!

Good Luck

The Kaz coming to the area!

feeds@yuku.com (Ron May) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:11:04 GMT

I've mentioned my in-laws donating money to the hospital in Parsons, KS to start a diabetes education center. Well, it's open now and they have started bringing in educational sessions. Bill Kazmaier is coming a week from today (Dec. 15 @ 6:00 pm) for about 45 min. Don't know if I will be able to make it down, but some of you may be close enough. I'll paste the info from the brochure:

Well we only had 5 competitors but it was a good battle between them.

Larry got the nod on the push press with a press of 260 and winning the stone for height with a 270 stone to 58" and almost getting 60".

In the lightweights We had Corey Kenkel, Jason Bourgoin, and Mac Capello. Jason won the...

Normal Kid Meets a Powerlifter - youtube clip

If you check the NASGA board then you've probably seen this but I thought I'd go ahead and link it here. Just a weird little clip of a normal kid arguing with a Powerlifter.

Pouring a keg.

feeds@yuku.com (KCSTRONGMAN) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:10:20 GMT

Last weekend, I poured a new keg. I forgot how sucky it was, much worse than a stone. I used a cut off 1 liter bottle as a funnel, but still had to use a stick to jag it through. It took me like 3 hours. Does anybody have any good tips on how to make this process more efficient? Of is it this sucky for everyone? The good news is that I have a new keg, and it is HEAVY!
