Can we bring a band?
February 13, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterSir Scales A Lot
yeah, who you thinking? Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Sweet Pappy Johnson! That's a lot of benching.

I'm kinda into Lumineers right now. For running purposes though I could use a little My Morning Jacket

Sans socks alone!

hello to friends at get built. Would like to request that you guys support the quest to save olympic wrestling. As most know my life now includes 2 step sons who are wrestlers and their father a coach. This weekend the youngest has qualified for the georgia state championships and we hope to see him on the podium (top 6). this is an amazing sport requirng incredible strength, skill, and dedication. I watched cam take third at sectionals in 3 overtimes, winning on ride time where he held the guy with just his strength and will to win. The oldest will be at regionals in north carolina attempting to qualify for nationals this weekend as well. Thank you for your support in keeping one of the oldest sports in the olympics.

When you go to the park, is the gym closed or is someone still there?

Brenda, this is the only thing that makes me feel a little better about the IOC jackasses.

There is another shot for wrestling in May --- where there will be another meeting with the IOC who coincidentally consists of at least one member tightly tied to Modern Pentathalon which was kept vs. wrestling. So, as with about everything, there is politics involved in the decision which came from secret voting among members. This group obviously is with bias -- seriously, they keep synchronized swimming and rid of wrestling, an original Olympic sport. There is a lot of support here but we have to worry about the global picture -- but, given that this sport is a top NCAA sport, growing high school sport in the States and a sport representing 180 countries with it being the top sport in many countries, there should be a chance of overturning the decision. Wrestling is struggling to stay alive in the US after Title IX took many programs and the dropping of programs is much too common. I have to agree with Brenda that it is a good sport for your kids, although it takes a toll on your body -- but to take it from The Olympics is beyond belief! There is another IOC meeting in May where there are a few sports (baseball and softball included) filing to be included in 2020. The final decision will be made in September 2013. There were a couple of good articles in the paper yesterday FYI.

Hey morning crew,

Thanks letting me drop in and run around y'all's park... A bit colder than Texas but y'all have real unique location.

Thanks again for letting me drop in.

We still blame equality for wrestling's demise?
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterRed
You have opened the can ---------- but this is interesting and gives some facts (as well as opinions) -
http://www.flowrestling.org/coverage/250479-Take-Back-2020-Wrestling-Experiences/article/18314-Modern-Olympics-and-The-IOC-Hypocrisy

To the Equality statement: The "demise" of wrestling is not due to the passing of Title IX - but the reduction of programs is from decisions by many colleges of how to implement Title IX. That was the beginning of many schools dropping wrestling programs. In 1970's there were ~160 Division 1 programs and today, close to 80. My sentence may not have conveyed that correctly. And by the way, I am all for women's sports.... and equality.

Great to see Biker Trash back in the game

McGhee Blew it out with a 2 flat on his first round. I know it's fastest AND slowest but that's throwing it down!
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMatt
2:20, 2:31, 2:46, 3:01, 3:02.

There was a trend.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterBrandon
Sounds like you didn't rest enough between rounds, BP.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterkatrina
Thanks Sweet, felt great to do a WOD! Nothing heavy in my immediate future but I won't be a stranger no more.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterBiker Trash
la-la-ladies! chime in if you did the wod. Any PRs out there? Set of 14 pullups with no rest? skinnier band than before?

let's get off this "only-the-bestest-dudes-or-biggest-smack-talkers-post" phase.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterkatrina
Shit...Vzw is Virginia? If I had a tail, it would be tucked between my legs.

I concede.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterRed
Anybody who knows anything knows Red and I can't fight -- we are not in the same weight class... AND we were on the same FGB team last week.... with Red cheering me on to finish FINALLY. I will probably need you to cheer my butt around that track today too.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered Commentervzw
AND I love wrestling.

This was the kind of wrestling the IOC is cancelling, right?
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterRed
Anybody who knows anything knows Red won't be running today.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterBOOM!!!
Where was Frank today? He always enjoys watching me implode...1:58, 2:22, 2:33, 2:52, 2:50

Katrina thats Brandon Burge, not BP.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered Commentermike
whoopsie. BP, learn from BB's mistakes. 'cause I know you'll do the wod.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterkatrina
BB is Blythe Bailey
BT is Biker Trash
and B is Britton

Burge needs a different name... like Burge
or B-Bu.
Or, here it is: B-Bur.
Wasn't there a guy that used to go by "Bieber"?
He must be long gone, though.

I'm going with B-Bur.

Suckfest
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterDavey
I am good with that Sweet.
Also, don't forget:
BP is BP.

2:50/3:17. First was fastest; last was slowest. Sucks being passed by Britton when he started one heat after me.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterbb
Let me get this straight... we started with "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" did some wrestling and finished "Bieber"? I think we need better effort tomorrow.

Sweet... you can bring a band to the WOD and you bring "Bieber"? Man, that's like Mike play Ol' Blue Eyes during Fight Gone Bad!

Although, at least we the B's issue resolve!
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMatt
Matt all I heard was that you want me to play Neil Diamond during the WOD tomorrow.
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered Commentermike
Which would complete my Friday! Heavy weights and slow jams should be a part of every Friday. Unless curls are involved, in which case it's a hair bands only kind of day!
February 14, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMatt
McGee - It was almost as much fun as watching you implode on paper.... or at least the web. Or whatever AlGore calls it.
