HIGA MONSTER & his Momma

Just dropped my Mom off at Sea-Tac airport.

Had a great time seeing my Mom this past Christmas holiday!  We took her to a Seahawks game & the NCAA Final Four volleyball championship while she was here in Seattle.

Have a safe flight back to Hilo, HI,  Love you Mom!

Merry Christmas 2013 from HIGA MONSTER!

Just unwrapped my new Bulky Boy flannel & shades!!

Have a Merry Christmas to everyone!

Me BURYING my 2nd attempt squat of 335 kilos/738.5 lbs.

Trying to stay warm with my Bulky Boy beach towel & a Lava-lava.

Bull Stewart & Todd Christensen informed me that I can possibly break the American Record in the squat, so I told them that I would try to break it.

Trying to bury this 340 kilos/749.5 lbs squat...

Success!  I broke the American Record for Masters (40-44 yrs) with 749.5 lbs.

The previous record was 744 lbs by Beau Moore in 2008.

Had to snap a pic with my old Gateway Athletic Club friends after breaking the record!

I am sure Willie Austin was smiling down on us.  :)

Trying to get psyched for Deadlifts.

Opening attempt deadlift of 325 kilos/716.5 lbs

My crew from Imperial CrossFit came to support me!

And a special apperance by Rocco Liogghio!

"FAKA...WHAT?!"

Had to do my Drug Test for steroids...since I broke the American Record.

NO PROBLEM, BRAH...

I was able to win the Raw Open & Masters Men classes.

And got the Best Lifter for Raw Open & Masters Men.

Post contest all you can eat dinner at Mika Japanese Buffet!

Medium-rare Prime Rib was on my 4th plate at the buffet.

Just trying to get more BULKY!

Thank you to all my family & friends who came to support me today!  Love you all!

And a special thank you to Bulky Boy and Animal Pak for your support!
