Take my poll, bitches!!! Are you cool or a dork?

[CAPBOY]

Are we saying this is the getup HS is wearing this year?



Damn, I thought it was bubba. sh*t HS got fat.

I can squat 405 for reps, but have a lifetime single-rep max of only 315 on the bench.

I'm calling you out :) :) :)

OK. As the challenged party I choose 12-ounce gasser squats.
Chug a beer then do 25 full squats with a weight you can usually do 15 with.

Repeat as necessary. First to puke loses.
Winner gets to bench press HS until he cries.

Deal!

You squat 8 plates for reps????

I work a great job, have a great wife and am raising a great kid.
I live in K and ski most days.

Also, I don't generaly poach, I'm loyal to my wife, and I only go out drinking occasionally.

Of course, many of the bartenders know me and I get the "local's price and local's pour" on my drinks.
I don't do crowded happy hour at the Lookout, but I'm proud to call Phil a friend.

I guess that makes me a great big nerd instead of one of the cool kids.
Geez, I must be weak too.

That's a lotta weight for "reps". I stay in the low 300's (for reps). I wonder what BK does for a squat ... since he does a 405 flat, his squat should be 500+

[newpylong]

Yeah I'll say!

Before I tore up my meniscus or after? Before contest best was 625 (or whatever 285 kilos works out to exactly) 500 for sets of 8. Now I rarely
go above 350. Mostly keepin' it light for lots of reps these days.

We used to horse around and see who could squat bodyweight for the most reps. My best was around 30-35. My friend Steve - who was ADFPA National and World champ at 220 for 5 or 6 years running - did
58 or 60 or something obscene like that. He puked his guts out afterward. That was pretty funny to watch.......

You sound like a buddy of mine during his prime, a frickin monster!

I repped out 405 ... but on the press

My Boss does this sh*t called Cross Fit... every heard of it?? Pretty nasty.. like 300 air squats, situps, pullups, etc. You don't stop till you do them all..

A friend's son swears by Cross Fit. Been reading up on it at their website and
may give it a shot since I'm worrying about my aerobic fitness these days.......

Inquiring minds want to know....are you one of the cool kids, or are you a dork/nerd? What is K-zone populated by?

I have to admit, I once was dork. But after many, many years of hard work, I'm now one of the cool kids.

Heres a few hints....

You might be cool, if:

- You're a single dude and you've slept with 2 or more women at Killington this year, and they aren't horse-ugly
- You go out to the bars at least one a weekend and actually talk to people
- You go to happy hour at the Lookout
- You're under 40, or at least act like you're under 40
- You think poaching is cool
- You can actually ski

You might be a dork if:

- You never go out
- You never get laid
- You go to happy hour at the grist mill
- You religiously show up for the 10 am meeting
- You take posting on k-zone pretty seriously
- You never break the rules, including poaching
- You can ski, but only if it's grrrroomed


EH???

okay this is way to much man. this is a site about the mountain what the hell does it matter if people qualify as cool under your criteria. grow up? have you gone to college yet? if so where? wow you should really Turn on, Tune in, Drop out.

Maybe you haven't met enough of the regulars on this site.......

Being cool doesn't end when you get out of high school, college or whatever.............well, maybe it does for some people....or they never were in the first place.

[SkiDork]

I'm a Dork. And proud if it!!!!

Thanks, we noticed.

I had a lengthy response, but you've said it rather well.

I don't think the topic of "cool" has come up in any discussions of mine at work, business engagements, conferences, seminars, or any of the other activities I've experienced post-graduation from college.

Maybe VT is different?

Every person is unique, no one is in a place to judge others. I admit, I'm guilty of it at times, but I try very hard not to do so.

Like SkiDork, I'm also a Dork and I enjoy it very much and it's help create a great career
