OG Team Member Posts: 1903 Location: Sacramento | I had most of a nice long entry written the other day...and then the computer restarted before I finished it. Here's the short version... I was out of the gym for a few days due to the Pro/Am. Got sick during the trip and have felt like shit ever since. I tried to squat on Tuesday night and missed 5 plates off a high box in briefs. I called it there. It was pretty clear that I wasn't making things any better. I started warming up to do some speed bench today but a few reps with 225 in the Sling Shot and my head was swimming. I just have a ton of fluid in my ears and my sinuses and get dizzy every time I strain...even a little. Hopefully it's over soon. I'd love to just sleep until then. Back to the Pro/Am. It was a great meet and I had a lot of fun catching up with people. It's pretty clear why people lift in the SPF. For a national meet with a lot of cash at stake, there wasn't a bunch of BS or agendas. People could just lift and not have to worry about any of that stuff. Quite a few things impressed me but a few things stood out... Shawn Frankl was calmer than you can imagine while he was lifting his way to a 2715 total at 216 lb bw. The only time I saw him get fired up was for his third bench. He's just a pro. No other way to put it. Had a great talk with him the next morning in the warm up room about how he approaches lifting and how he rehabbed the shoulder injury that kept him from squatting for 10 weeks. He's a very down-to-earth, normal guy. Dave Hoff was loose and goofy, cracking jokes mostly at this own expense while racking up the biggest total in Westside history. On his Facebook after the meet, most of what he wrote was congratulations to Chuck Vogelpohl. It's hard to imagine accomplishing as much as he has by the age of 22 and not being an asshole. There's something to be said for pursuing your goals and not feeling like you have shit all over everyone else in the process. The current crop of young guys at Westside hungry and moving up fast. Likable, too. When Chuck walked into the warmup room, it got quiet. Well, it probably didn't but it seemed like it did. Would he be healthy enough to get through the meet? Could he approach the numbers he'd put up before? Luckily we were there to see him put together one of his best days and show that he's still a technician and strong as hell. Mark and I got to hang out with some cool folks. Some of them may be visiting ST this fall. Dave Hoff is talking about coming out. Matt Kroc, too. Possibly a few more. All in all, a great time.
