What is it with wearing the hat over the ears? It used to be that the special ed kids would do that to hide their ears, but now everyone does it?

[TerryB]

Wasn't Shankle involved with a breaking and entering deal, and battering the occupant(s)?

It was a few years back.

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Yes. Shankle was.

[Bud Charniga's grape ape]

OK, that's pretty shitty.

I don't know who you're hanging out with or referencing, so I'll just assume you're an officious prick who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

I know exactly what I'm talking about. The best of Glenn's team squats what? 600? 650 maybe? I'm sure you know intimately. And the rest far, far less than that when everyone needs to be squatting at least 100lbs more than that.

Pendlay and Shankle

What's the deal with Shankle? I honestly know nothing about him except that he looks like a Civil War artilleryman.

Got kicked off the team for being a drunken dick. Multiple times. The details are around here somewhere.

Here actually:

I have this principle I apply to myself and others. The people that represent you, represent you. If you condone their behavior, you condone their behavior. If you continue to associate with a person who behaves badly (and that's an understatement) while representing you in public, you must not think there's much wrong with it. Or you have more to gain by pretending it didn't happen. Its a problem. And its not okay.

Posting under multiple accounts and pretending you're someone completely different that somehow mysteriously knows everything about US Weightlifting and everything that goes on with Glenn's team and doing shit like asking questions with a different name then answering them with your real name to get e-famous does not speak to large amounts of integrity.

Integrity is what you do when no one else is watching. If you only kick puppies when no one else is around, you're still a dick.

What the fuck are you talking about? This is my only account.

and for the record, usaw does have a code of conduct and all members, coaches and athletes alike, are subject to it:

Oops. :) Sorry, little sensitive over here.

Re: the video--grandstanding asshole playing to his audience. If you're warned not to slam bars and you can't keep your lifters from doing it, you're a shitty coach.

[Mickey O'neil]

Serious business.

This fucking guy.........

is a fucking asshole.

[syaigh]

And a liar. No lifters were dqed for slamming bars.

That time of the month, huh?

Tell ya one thing, I'm not paying for single piece of another Muscle Driver equip.

Explain!

[Shafpocalypse Now]

Pendlay has financial interest in it

Muscle Driver sponsors a bunch of CF fuckwits...that's bad enough....but OK..I get it CFBodyBuilding is so hot right now. But Jon North of specifically one of theor guys and he is hands down an awful Piece of Shit. You have only to know:

His website is Attitude Nation
I slam bars is one of his taglines.
Watch his behavior on any youtube video and you will develop a strong desire to put a variety of calibers through that ugly mug.

I have a profound dislike for the preening fucktardery of most Oly Lifters who come out of the new school of zero respect ...but he is abhorrent and people who give him money...should stop.

And this is a kinda a shame for me as I have had great luck with muscle driver's products..and I have no issue with the way Glenn does his thing. He seems like a genuinely helpful guy.

Isn't it "slam bars, kill PRs"? IMO that's worse.

[syaigh]

Ordering your lifters to slam their bars on all their lifts, including warmups, isn't about emtion, its about being a megalomaniac.

[Blaidd Drwg]

Zounds..that is uncanny...it sets your teeth on edge.

[Bud Charniga's grape ape]

I'm not an oly guy by any means but I know the big names. So out of curiosity, I looked up some videos for Rigert, Dimas, Alexeev, Suleymanoglu, and Rezazadeh. Training and competition. Number of bars slammed, even after, oh, say, breaking WRs or winning Olympic gold? 0

[Koko, Beware]

First time a guy slammed a bar down after a lift out of genuine emotion: Ickey Woods
Every other time: every other end zone dance since.

North comes off like a low-rent jock from a 2013 remake of Some Kind of Wonderful where the rich kids are weightlifters. He looks like a grade-A turd in this video. The palms out gesture playing to his audience at the end is embarrassing to watch.

Everyone who was cheering was cheering because of the North-Fellate

[Master_Blaster]

Everyone who was cheering was cheering because of the North-Fellate

The cheering wasn't even that strong either.

You have to remember...it is an Oly meet, fun is not permitted.
