Blaine Takes First Place

BLAINE, our Texas powerlifting bear buddy, came in first place at the 1998 USPF Texas Cup, on November 7, 1998. He had a squat of 606 pounds, a bench of 407 pounds and a deadlift of 512 pounds! We wish we could have been there with is other half, SCOTT, to cheer him on! Way impressive, Blaine! Send him a note of congratulations on a job well done!

Steven Makes an Amazing Transformation

STEVEN started bodybuilding at the age of 40! Since then he's done incredible things with his body! Check out his "before" picture, taken May 9, 1998. At 6 foot and 44 years old, Steven weighed in at a solid 243 pounds and 13.95% bodyfat. In his "after" picture, taken August 15, 1998, he's weighing a ripped 185 at just 3.6% bodyfat! In the contest, he came in third in the Masters category and fifth in the Novice Middleweights...against athletes half his age!

Right now, Steven is weighing a massive 220 pounds on his way up to a final bulking phase weight of around 260! We hope to have some pics of him as he grows! Drop him a note of encouragement and congratulations on his efforts thus far!

Anthony Qualifies for 1999 Strength Challenge

Our buddy ANTHONY competes in strongman tournaments, powerlifting, and highland games. We'll let him tell you about his latest accomplishments in his own words:

"The event was from mid-November, 1998, called the NASS Continental Strength Challenge (Fort Worth, TX). Organized by Bill and Linda Holland (see Picture 1), who after many years organizing and promoting APF powerlifting meets in Texas, started the North American Strongman Society, and now promote powerlifting and strength events through this new organization.

(Picture 1)

"Although not formally entered as a contestant, Linda was eager to see what I could do, so I gave two of the events a whirl 1) Throwing a tire which weighed between 40 and 50 pounds (See Picture 2 and Picture 3). As you can see, getting a good windup is a key to this; and I was able to get the tire a good 27 feet 6 inches (which would have put me 6th out of the 12 competitors who did the actual event in the competition).

(Picture 2)

(Picture 3)

"The second event was titled 'Thor's hammer' (sounds butch doesn't it) :-O -- This consisted of picking up a large (and damn heavy) log with a two by four handle, running the length of a 20 yard course, and throwing the hammer end of the log at a round target centered about 7 feet off the ground (see Picture 4)......oh and trying not to have it land on your head when you're done......I was able to get this done in 6.30 seconds -- not bad, would have by my count put me about 7th out of the 12 competitors....

(Picture 4)

"Well that's the story, I didn't embarrass myself, and the Holland's invited me back to train for more strength and highland events this year, which I'm considering.

"Oh well, its not pulling a bus or rolling a car yet, but it was fun :-) "

BIG STEVE TAKES FIRST PLACE!

STEVE recently competed in the USPF Texas State Powerlifting Meet held on March 20th in Austin, TX. He did well, with a 1322 total lift! Steve placed 1st in the submaster category, and placed 3rd in the below class 1 category. GREAT JOB! Here are some pics of him in action...
