Cool, fellow T-Men in my locale. If I don’t have to work that day, I’ll see you there.
Foreword: This isn’t meant to belittle this competition (seriously), but as a tribute to an infamous T-Nation pioneer.
Somebody tell the Deisel Weasel. I’m sure he’d love a chance to show off to anyone who hasn’t seeen his magnificant maladies of malicously muscled movements of strength - how to tear a few phone books, eat nails, do a zercher deadlift, eat car tires, etc.
Hell, he might even have some lifts never before seen, but he had to name because his exercises names have to fit his form as opposed to maintaining good form for the lift. Like the squat + Deisel = the colon cleansing squat : “shit before I reached the bottom of the squat so I had to use every other muscle but my glutes/hams/quads, and couldn’t fire my abs because the TVA was twitching from the residual shockwaves resonating from the shit/fart just before reaching paralell for the 300 lb squat,(remember though this is a colon cleansing squat so my form is still intact), so I had to seriously maneuver to keep my back from breaking in half and at the same time keep the shit stain from smearing and showing up on camera - for my fans”.
So my form was impecable and if you dont’ agree I"ll rip you to shreds like the pages of my dirty magazine under my seat in my 65 mustang. Hey, my girls like it rough.
He’d finally have a forum to share his ideas so that others could benefit from his experience. But don’t mock him, cross him, make fun of him, or he’ll might just: rip you to shreds, break you, squat you, deadlift you, and then give you a glare that makes girls want to shit there pants, before he eats you. Anway… give him a call, I’m sure he’d be flattered.
