  1. Redneck Bubba died in a fire and was burnt pretty bad. The morgue needed someone to identify the body so his two best friends, Daryl and Gomer were sent for.Daryl went in and the mortician pulled back the sheet. Daryl said, "Yup, he's burnt pretty bad. Roll him over." So the mortician rolled him over and Daryl looked and said, "Nope, ain't Bubba."

    The mortician thought that was rather strange, because he was pretty sure of the body's identity.

    Gomer was then brought in to identify the body. Gomer took a look at him and said, "Yup, he's burnt real bad, roll him over." The mortician rolled him over and Gomer looked down and said, "No, it ain't Bubba."

    The mortician asked, "How can you tell?" Gomer said, "Well, Bubba had two assholes."

    "What? He had two assholes?" said the mortician. "Yup, everyone knew about it, too. Every time we went to town, folks would say, 'Here comes Bubba with them two assholes.

  2. I think a fun way to get some excercise this summer and work out some hard feelings that have developed around here latley, would be to hold the first ever cascade climbers rugby game in the summitt crater of Mt. Rainier. Trad Klan VS Cell Phone Posse. No crampons, please.

    I'll bring the beer (for me). [big Drink]

    Feet are placed slightly wider than shoulder width, not stiff legged, gripping the bar also slightly wider than shoulder, so probably SUMO if I had to guess.

    why? are they trying to get rid of all those poor people's corpses they discovered at the "crematorium" in Georgia? Thanks anyway, but, I'm not very clever in the first place and I dont think a person's body would work in this case Dru. grin.gif" border="0

    lots of cool, taker type people to climb with here but, safe is subjective, (how much would you trust someone you don't really know to belay you)

    nothing wrong with leaning to lead as a newbie if you are comfortable with and understand the potential consequences, we are all learning new stuff almost every time we climb. cool.gif" border="0

    Tom I have been looking for one of these as well and even considered trying to rig my current set up to work like this with no success. So, if you find one let me know and I'll do the same. I tried Pro Mountain Sports and never got a call back which means they may not be available through conventioinal means anymore. I guess I'll never be as EXTREME as Mr. Twight.

    After reading that article I'd be really careful about reading a climbing magazine article and going to do a lift like dead lift or squats. As simple as they make it sound there is serious technique and other strengthening involved in doing those lifts. You could get really hurt doing those, and I’ve actually seen it happen. As I’m starting to write this and reading the dead lift thing over and over it’s starting to piss me off.

    Contrary to the article I was taught not to squat, dead lift or power clean with your head back like they say in the article. People believe that putting your head back like that is better for your back. It’s not. It puts unnecessary stress on you neck and promotes over-curvature of the spine. By looking at the ceiling you are not looking at the most important thing, your fucking technique (yes I’m getting really pissed). Additionally the key to not hurting your back is to have a very powerful midsection, meaning abs, obliques, and lower back. Your abs should be so tight during these lifts that someone could hit you there without fazing you. This may be the most important thing and he doesn’t even mention it, unfuckingbelievable.

    I'm not implying anything about Bronco here just in general I’d be very reticent to use what I read in a climbing magazine as my primary source for info for weight training.

    come on jon - consider the source, it's a climbing website everything on there could hurt you. wink.gif" border="0 But I do agree with you about the importance of technique on these lifts.

    A single set of dead lifts twice a week (or so)

    Squats with same frequency and weight, no leg press.

    Ya know, I was thinking about it and because I am lazy and dont want to change weights I just grab my curl bar ( I work out at home ) for performing the dead lifts which has all 10lb or smaller plates making the bar only about 3" off of the ground as opposed to the larger plates like you see in the pics of the rock and ice workout. I think I'll try to start the lift a little higher, (use a stack of books or something) maybe I am getting too low and straining my hamstrings too much. mad.gif" border="0 ouch!

  9. Cortnay:

    Why are my upper hamstrings and lower gluts sore after performing deadlift exercise? I typically "warm up" with a 30 minute run and do 20 - 25 reps of a lighter weight. When I started this a few months ago I thought the soreness would go away after the muscle group got used to the exercise but, I am still getting sore. WDF?

    Oh yeah, I found a good article on weight training for climbers:

  10. It sounds like the guy was genuinely concerned about his dog and took the trouble to bring it with him and rescue it. I don't think you should take dogs climbing or skiing personally because situations like this will occur.

    He mumbled thanks for the help, what did you guys expect a grandious handshake and reward of cash? He sounds like he was embarassed and your berating him probably made him want to get as far as possible from you quickly.

    Sorry if you find this offensive dan e, but you and your friends sound like whiners to me. So you loaned him a "COBRA" for a few minutes, whats the big deal? I hate to be inconvenienced as much as the next person so maybe I missed your point. confused.gif" border="0 Was it the dog or the mumbled appology or that he is not a top notch climber?

    BTW: I thank you for helping the man and his dog, that was very nice of you. smile.gif" border="0
