Western Foothills 4A/5A - Week 5

[Lincolnton]

I believe ur afraid of muscles

I wouldn’t know, I never had any…consider this, now you, you’re a muscled up guy; me on the other hand, I’m more the pretzel-lookin’ type…you go to the gym and lift heavy weights…I’m a jogger, and can still run a fairly long distance, especially for an old man…You identify with one side, while I’m on the other.

I think my side wins out. Let me relate it anecdotally:A man is enjoying the beach while sitting under a large umbrella…He takes a Dip in the ocean to cool off…When he returns, there is a note stuck in the sand underneath his umbrella…The note read, this umbrella now belongs to the local bench press champion…

The man, being quite intimidated walks away, expecting the weight lifter will returns soon…An hour later he inconspicuously comes back by to see if his umbrella is still there,and to see how fierce the weightlifter looks…

On passing the spot he noticed that the umbrella was gone, but another note was sticking in the sand beside of the first note…upon closer inspection, the second note read, “the umbrella that was here, now belongs to the local marathon champ…End of story…

Listen, In the whole scheme of things, you and I are the same…Think of it this way, We’re like two rubber bands laying on a desk. The only difference is someone came along, Picked me up and stretched me out. Get it?

Remember my friend I do lift heavy but twice a week I run 2 miles in 13 to 13½ mins and do CrossFit and stair climber at quick pace. My cardio may not be lacking either

I’ll give you that, you could catch me, but I can still turn a trick or two. One, you’ve already overlooked, I been around a lots longer than you. The other ones I’ll keep to myself.

There is an affiliated Box in Maiden? I always tell myself to checkout CF Allegiance in Denver but Maiden would be slightly closer.

He was a big youngin! Played outside linebacker too!!

 

[amaidendevil]

No when I say CrossFit I use it as a catch all for the cardio workout circuit I do. Ex: plank jumping jacks, burpee squat jumps. Bear crawl. Etc

I am guessing AMD age.

Maxes the Army AFT 2-mile run.

Most likely easily maxes the Navy PRT run.

If AMD maintains that pace for another .5 to mile then he would max the USMC PFT.

My CrossFit regimen is an intense workout consisting of getting my socks and shoes on in the morning followed by getting the jokers back off in the evening!

Could be interesting lol my personal best on treadmill in fall is 12 min 52 seconds on 2 mile run.

Well, Mr. Grandstander, I hear all that noise…This guy named Aesop (He was a Greek from Lincolnton), told a story about something like this: He said one day, the north wind and the sun were having a discussion…The north wind proudly told the sun how he (the north wind) was the strongest, most powerful and completely mightiest force in the sky…The sun on the other hand said, “I’m not to sure about that.”

So the north wind being the bully that he is, challenged the sun to a contest of strength.The North wind said “observe the man walking down the road. I can force him to remove his coat where you on the other hand, cannot !
With that said, the north wind begin to blow, and blow, and blow, harder and harder (sound familiar), and each time the north wind blew, the man walking down the road would only pull his coat tighter and tighter…Finally, the north wind was exhausted and stopped blowing.


The sun looked upon the traveler and smiled causing the temperature to rise slightly, this made the man to loosen his coat…The sun did this a couple more times and each time the temperature would rise, eventually the man took off his coat.

‘Yeah, you can lift more weight than me, and you can out squat and out burp me, and sure, you can run faster on a treadmill and press more benches than me… but the moral of this story is that sometimes, gentle persuasion and persistence can sometimes upstage brut force, and that’s is how guys like me can compete with guys like you.

 

[Lincolnton]

Creek, I didn’t mean to put one of your quotes in there, I meant to put another one of AMD’s declarations/warnings in there. I hit the wrong reply. Even though your’s was a good one…Oh, and good luck against West Iredell.

Not grandstanding ur fellow wolf wanted to guess my age I figured I'd give him enough information to make an educated guess

Persuasion is a weapon against others besides the foe in front of you. Do you think you could persuade me to become a Lincolnton wolf with gentle persuasion and persistence if I take brute force and hold your head underwater let you come up for air every minute or so and wouldn't stop until you become a maiden Blue devil. Who do you think switch sides first

 

[Lincolnton]

Not grandstanding ur fellow wolf wanted to guess my age I figured I'd give him enough information to make an educated guess

Well, that’s a pretty good answer. I can’t overcome that. You win this time.
By the way, the reason LHSfaninVa, wanted to know your age and physical abilities might be for a purpose…Now, the Virginia part of his screen name doesn’t mean Roanoke, Richmond or Reston. He resides across the river from Washington, DC, where all the Government and Military executives are. I’m guessing he is trying to recruit you for a particular type of service. If that would happen, you’d have to change your name to AWD.

Who do you think switch sides first

Hold my head under the water ? Yeah, I’d say it while blubbering out “blime blbluh Bladen blue blevel, but in my heart, and in my mind I’m still a wolf, and so I’d wait for a more opportune time to express my real allegiance.

 

[GrizzlyDevil]

I'm about to brute force some tacos down the hatch

Indulge me, here, for a minute, and let me comment on this, then I’m not going to say anything else about this particular topic; I’m afraid that if I do, this thread will lose it’s allure.

you mentioned that persuasion, as opposed to force, is not for the foe in front of you…My friend, may I say you are wrong, here…You’ve heard the term “empirical”, meaning based on observation or putting something to the test. I assure you that I’m proof that gentle persuasion can work with the foe in front of you…

From the time I was old enough to talk to adulthood, very few weeks went by in which I didn’t have to talk my way out of an @$$ whippin’. Mostly school principals or neighborhood kids, and sometimes adults.

In the Book of Proverbs, in the Bible, King Solomon wrote about how a soft answers turns away wrath…Does it work every time, No, but usually it does.

Finally, you might wonder if when talking may way out of these situations, did I ever lie ? LIKE A DOG, BOY, LIKE A DOG.

[oldburkeman]

21 zip Maiden kinda expected it

49 zip East. You can clearly tell a lot left North Lincoln last year.

Hickory beat down, big game coming with EL pack house.

East Burke finally won, bless thar’ hearts

East Rutherford in a close one, I shoulda went to that. Stayed home again, fell asleep lol

Freedom….my my my. Hate they ain’t playing Hickory no more. 70 to 20 against a team that beat Maiden. Barley beat Maiden, should not have beat Maiden. Guys I think we got a team to watch in playoffs other than EL Hickory or Maiden lol. East Rutherford may be making noise too.

Freedom Watauga setting up for a good one. Decent one but Watauga will be too much.

 

[oldburkeman]

Assuming 9th grade QB back in the game for North. East Lincoln looking to make a run I didn’t see Bandys score but wouldn’t matter. Expected a yawner from Lincolnton, cause ole EG, man. They got it rough.

 

[GrizzlyDevil]

Did you know:

Maidens defense allowed 0 points against West Iredell?

 

[amaidendevil]

Did you know ?
Maiden scored 21 times more points on West iredell than North Lincoln

Maiden guys took this game personal. Hahah. West Iredell had them nervous.

 

[GrizzlyDevil]

Their defense is legit...they gave us fits and moved around a lot. They have a good football team.

 

[BlueDevil1996!]

The 2 biggest plays for the Maiden Blue Devils was

a 40 yard run by QB
That 5 play Goal line victory to get in to make it 14-0 was big.

West Passing game was non existent. West Run had success early but West D kept them in the game as long as they could!

maiden has get better in tackling and RedZone efficiency but also they have some drop passes as well! Maiden is clicking n heading in the right direction

thanks for the hospitality and good meeting @GrizzlyDevil ! Go Devils!
