BiG Mi~kE Whud up boss!!! Sorry to hear you was not able to compete. Can't wait to see the pictures.
Good Friend of mine just did two shows, one in Feb another last month in CA. Other two friends, all part of the same friendship circle got a show coming up in Aug here in Japan on the Air-force base. Each year they have a guest BB Pro Champion. When you think you will be well enough to compete? You out the rest of this year?
I'm curious... How did you get the hernia, sumo dead-lifts, standing barbell shoulder presses, Leg presses?

I had the hernia since 2007 and it lasted till this year and its about time it flared out and was painful...
DEf got it from my regular deadlift (550lbs for reps), .. at first, i pulled my two hernias by crotches
, and that was a ***** and i took off lifting for 3 weeks and never came back.... then after couple months, i felt my belly was tender and sore and was cramping up.. i def knew it was an imbelical hernia.Again hernia comes from even lifting 5 lbs, u will never knew. but my cause was deadlift.
Anyhow i cant wait till i get my rims sent and having em back

Guess I will stick with my 340 sumo style dead-lifts, I got BACK today and I'm suppose to go up today to 365. Sumo style dead-lifts requires strong legs which I'm lacking but maybe that will change because I finally got a partner to workout with again. I can't keep a partner to save my life, no one is serious enough. Today I will do back first then legs. Gonna be a rough one today.
Where you getting your rims dipped at? Is there a website?
Different guys I'm talking about but same circle of friends. I had a feeling you hurt yourself from dead-lifts.

Cal Chrome is about 10 minutes from house. Why did you choose them? I never knew they were that well known.

i see tons of ferrari lambo getting their rims done over there and if cars like that are going there, im def going there.
They are lil bit cheaper too comparing to where i live and they were asking for fortune and teh shop is NOOOOOOOOOT known at all.. so since i mentioned benz, prices changed and automatically thought i was loaded which im not.
i will post pics once i get them. ..im sendin em sat .

i had that silver rim for a while and it is different..but believe me, when i saw it on a benz and the car was rolling, i was like OMFG.. i got to chrome mine. Beside since my window are 2% limo and my side marker is black, it will stand out even more.. again that is my opinion
