Watching Susie lift is like watching perfection in motion. I mean really, after her final deadlift I wanted to go up and tap on her forehead to see if she was just living tissue on top of a T-1000 chassis. She is like a machine. All of her movements are calculated and intentional. There are no wasted movements. It is simply awesome to watch her.

This site gets over edited. Now my post doesn't make sense in that context. I suppose most my posts don't make sense anyway so what's the difference?

Great lifting today! It was a blast to watch.

amazing to see the ladies in person. Suzie Hartwig-Gary put on a clinic. It looked as if she was smiling and talking to the crowd halfway through that 308 squat. Stallings & Mathis were unreal. The contrasting styles, I've never seen two athletes lift back-to-back w/ such opposing style, Stallings shouting and getting the crowd fired up and then Mathis would look as if she was about as excited as I am doing the dishes. I was standing between the winners of the BP only lift, and everyone was amazed w/ the lifting of Mathis.

Well done to all the ladies and the LW men.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the nice comments. I had a fantastic time competing at the RAW Unity meet. Eric did a fantastic job and went above and beyond...
I know that my husband, Matt Gary, and I truly enjoyed ourselves, lifting and coaching and look forward to coming again next year, God willing.
Take care, lift hard and be Blessed!

The best part of the trip was the ride to the airport and dinner. Especially the homosexual waiter who wanted me to go to the disco with him. I couldn't even look your boy in the eye.

Did you even lift this weekend? I didn't even notice. I was too busy noticing Matt and his world class coaching seminar going on.

I need to make a trip to the east coast... so fun!

Putt Houston.... now with Ridiculous BCWW

Hey Putt, I was the first person that the master coach, coached! ha ha ha. He sure is the best. When he coaches, lifters make attempts!

I too enjoyed the ride to the airport and dinner... I think you broke the waiter's heart, he wanted you bad! ha ha

You are welcome to visit us any time! Good luck next week.
