475 lbs for 3 reps Squat workout in Hawai'i (11/28/09)

Still trying to keep on track with my training for the Raw Squat contest on Jan, 9, 2010.
My friend hooked me up with a day pass at 24 Hour Fitness in Kaneohe cause he is the GM there. Wanted to go heavier, but I had no power belt. I'm going to have to just make up for it next week.

Aloha from Hawai'i!

Hawai'i vs Navy football game (11/28/09)

Me and a Manoa Maniac that looks like he is ready to "GET NUTS!"

The view from our seats.


There was a halftime ceremony honoring Hawai'i military.

Fans still bring their Ti Leaves into the game. They have been doing that since I was a kid.

My Aunty gave us 2 tickets to the game tonight. I haven't been to a UH football game in years, and it was my wife's first UH game too.

Really cool to see all the "Manoa Maniacs" cheering on the Warriors. It was also Military Night, and there was a flyover with two Naval jets during the National Anthem.

There are over 300,000 military servicemen/women that live on O'ahu alone. Thats alot of people, and it was a really big game because Navy was in town and Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard is right across Aloha Stadium.

Of course I got to relive all my childhood memories by eating fried noodles, malasadas, and boiled peanuts at the game! Only in Hawai'i can you buy concessions like that!

The Warriors won too, beating the Midshipmen 24-17. Talk to you later!

Breakfast at Boots & Kimo's Homestyle Kitchen (Kailua, HI)

Hawaiian Fried Rice (left), side order Podahgee sausage (center) and the famous Macadamia Nut Pancakes w/macadamia nut sauce ontop (right). That pancake is their specialty!

Me getting ready to grind some ono food!

All the years that I lived in Hawai'i, I have NEVER eaten at Boots & Kimo's. Until today!

Found out that it was only 1/2 mile away from the beach house we are renting in Kailua.

"Ho brah, mean grindz!"

Since there is no strongman contests till Spring, I am going to compete in a Powerlifting contest up in Lynwood, WA on Jan 9, 2010.

I haven't competed in a Powerlifting contest since 2000, so it will be fun to get a decent single lift Squat in this event. The term "raw" means i wont use a power suit or knee wraps. Just a belt.

I'm going to post my weekly max squats on the Blog. Looking to do at least 600 lbs at this contest.

Stay strong & BULKY!
