While you are reading this, JP and Kevin Larrabee are hobnobbing with some of the best in the industry at the Ryan Lee bootcamp. It might sound fun, but it’s no treat having some guy in your face screaming ”You should all be making six figures, you worthless bunch of maggots! Now drop and give me a spinally-neutral form of movement to induce muscle fatigue!”. Red’s Weekly ReCrap – Week ending September 22, 2006
Two of our members have been going through quite the physical challenges lately. Gregl515 lost his leg just below the knee due to an infection. FishrCutB8 has been battling cancer and got hit by a truck while bike-riding Monday night. Fish suffered some scrapes and bruises, but he was able to completely total the truck with his left leg. Never underestimate a salesman with one testicle.
Teenage member igunick entered his first powerlifting meet this week. And won. And set national records for squat and bench. In. His. First. Meet. While impressive, he has set the bar so high that he has nowhere to go but down. Well, unless he squats an elephant or something at his next meet. Nick, if I were you I’d lift the “trunk” end, and keep the backside as far away as possible.
It was reported that a six-year old in China10,000 pushups in 4 hours. Skeptics think there may have been a wei bit of exaggeration going on there. In related news, an American infant ran a 4.1 40-yard dash while holding seventeen kaboolion pounds on his back. Unfortunately he tested positive for milk protein and is now banned from running fast while holding heavy things.
Spinach fears continue, and some consumers are unsure of how they’ll know if they got the e. coli. Well, it’s pretty easy to know, since the symptoms aren’t exactly subtle. Here’s a guide – watch this video starting at around the 5:30 mark. If that resembles you, then you’d better get to a doc.
Firefighter Phil Pfister won the World’s Strongest Man Competition this week, the first American winner in more than two decades. He found the best solution to avoid being ridiculed for having a weird name: just be really, really strong. How strong is he? Last year he tried to stick out his tongue at a buddy and knocked out half his own teeth. Now he has a funny name and a lisp, but still nobody messes with him.
If you hit any obstacles this weekend, just be like Greg and Fish and blow right through those barriers and YAWP at the top of your lungs.

Ah, I got my dose of the recrap before going to bed.
And Kevin isn't the only forum guy I've gotten to hang out with. Craig Ballantyne, Alwyn Cosgrove, Jimmy Smith, and recent newcomer to the site, Nate Green were all here. Tomorrow I'll get to see Cassandra, Eric, Mike, and Brian (Grasso).
I gotta get some sleep, but I had to say thanks for another great steaming recrap!

Seriously you all need to try to get to the next one....if there is one in 07. I got the exclusive interview with Ryan himself! Look for it soon.
