Long road ahead young Matt. Went back to the old Boston WeighLifting Club and did PC's w/115lbs for an hour- with no pain. May just say F it and head down to SC next year. Feel very bouncy with the weight @ 240 Thanks Matt. Hope all is well with you and the famiy.

 

 

Don,

I'll look for a good Polish restaraunt in the area

Right in my backyard. Greenville S.C. is a lot bigger than it looks on the map. Maps show only a city of 58,000. But, about 1,000,000 in the surrounding area. Beautiful downtown. Lots of places to eat and drink. Gonna be great. 

Better be a big room, Jay, we'll have Cosner with us,... and if there's
free beer,... Big Mac too!

Ok John so we have the official answer....Spin or no spin? 

BLAH....

Per NASGA Rules:

Tossing the Weight for Height

Standard Weight:

Men Women Master

56 lbs. 28 lbs. 42 lbs. or 56 lbs.

The weight will be thrown with one hand only. The weight shall be made of metal but can be of various shapes and sizes including spherical, bullet or box shaped. The handle can either be attached directly to the weight or attached with a length chain. The handle may also be of various shapes and thickness such as a ring, triangle or a "D" shape. The total weight of each implement shall be 28 lb., 42 lbs. and 56 lbs. The women shall throw a 28 lb. weight and the men shall throw a 56 lb. weight. If there is a master's class they may throw a 42 lb. weight instead of a 56 lb. weight. The implement shall not measure more than 18" in overall length but a weight shorter than this is normally used when thrown for height to avoid hitting the ground when swung between the legs. Any throwing style may be used as long as the rules are followed and the style is deemed safe by the judge.

It's called Weight for Height.....not "Standing Weight for Height".

We followed "International Rules" when we competed outside the US recently. International Competitors can follow US Rules when they compete here. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

 

Guess I'll start practicing the spin.  Braidy Miller's pretty good with it.  So's KO and Vierra . . . .

Mike, congratulations on being being the 2011 MWC!!!!!!!!

Our group will be very large next year...Oh... watch out for Braidy's brother Brent, he is the sneaky one that says nothing then shows up big time...

I remember MWC 2003 Craig Smith told us all in the parking lot to quit
sniveling about the Sheaf(we didn't sheaf in Calif then) because that's what
we do here so shut up about it. Were suppose to do whatever that particular
games has to offer as I understand it, so as Craig says shut up about it.
Sorry Craig your words not mine, it's all in fun. AD makes a fair point,
However I remember there was allot of whining about the trigs in Inverness
by the US guys and they changed the trigs.

Nothing fair when it comes to love and War Craig, Your supposed to become
more of a curmudgeon as you get older. Soft means flaccid in Masters speak.
