Finnegan's Wake

[finnegan]

Damn. Time to buy more weights.

Deadlift
300 x 3
345 x3
405 x 3
425 x 1
445 x 1
465 x 1 (belt, chalk)
475 x 1
485 x 1, 10 lb PR
500x 1, 25 lb PR *straps*

Impressions: I can't say I'm shocked by this PR. I just took what was in effect 4 days off of heavy lifting, and the use of chalk/ straps definitely helped. Still, they aren't the only thing. I was able to hold off on chalking up and strapping for longer than last time, so some of it was probably mental as well. Can't wait to see my Zerchers next time.

Nice PR's, nice pics.

I remember the first time little 'ole me went to one of these events. I get out of the car with my wife (who again is a tribal belly dancer who was performing that night) and there's some dude completely nekked except for a loosely tied skimpy loin cloth around his waist stacking wood for the fire. Mind you, I'm dressed in nice slacks, a nice pimpy button up collar shirt, shined up dress shoes, matching belt, and a military style crew-cut. I felt sooooo out of place. HOWEVER, by half way through the night I was bare foot and worshiping the high lord Baccus and partaking in all kinds of debauchery and hell raising. Wow. Good times.

Any more pics? Tee hee...

Had a guy like that at this festival. He showed up on leave from Iraq. He was just dropping people off and didn't plan on staying. I talked him into it, and he was running around naked w/ Satyr horns within two days.
As far as other pics, I'd have to get people's permission to post them, and some would get me banned.

Your first orgy, eh? Congrats.

Bravo!

It wasn't an orgy per se, but there was certainly a lot of "sexually liberated" people in attendance. Most of them made it back to their tents. Now if orgys broke out elsewhere on the site in private camps, I wouldn't be suprised, but that did not happen around the main fire. The public level of crazy was about Spring Break level.
I have firetended for adults only events before, so I'm not shocked by much. I've tended for Sacred Sexuality gatherings, Tantra retreats, Pagan gatherings, etc. that have a very high level of sexual energy. Basically anyone who wants a bonfire, and that usually means these counterculture/ neo-hippy types. They are good people in all, and I've made some good friends at them. Oh, and no one parties harder on the planet.

I bet you could kill anyone out there at will, even with a running head start too.

You would die, literally fall down dead, finnegan would than have to chop up more wood and cremate you on site

Hey Finn, I have a hack squat question for you. Ive had to put them in my routine since buggering up my shoulder and having to stop back squats. What dyou reckon would be a good hack squat goal for a 150lber who managed 260lbs for a triple first time out?
