Welcome. I'm the craziest guy on the forum. More about me @ www.tonycreeed.comMy Nephew trains at the Arco Training center here in SD (James Nieto). GOOD LUCK ON THE GOLD! Do you really think you're the craziest? I thought crazy people don't know they're crazy, because they're so crazy. He is not crazy until he gets a 50 foot blow up gorilla, puts it on the roof of his house, and has a crazy ring liquidation sale. Prices so low....that it makes me crazy. Yes a giant purple gorilla is a must. Studies show that people like monkeys. |

And welcome Rhadi to the forum. When you get the gold, make sure you visit a few of the party islands around Greece. Lots and lots of boobies to see. If you like Swedish chicks, and who doesn't, you will find them naked all day and drunk all night in Greece. Mention the fact that you are an Olympian and watch the s**t just be thrown at you. Olympics and boobies. No, it does not get better than that!!!

I know this might sound a little redundant Rhadi, but CONGRATS. Can't say much else about your accomplishment other than WOW!

Lloyds desciption of what you have gone through and how you have trained for this is inspiring.

Welcome Rhadi ! Saw on your web site that you give Jack Williams props for your early training. I trained with the ornery old goat for a few years too. I talk to Anthony "Pooh" Turner all the time. He says you are one of the strongest dudes he knows. Coming from his 300 lb ass that means alot. He says you got a couple good throws too  Good luck with your training and stay healthy. |

Judo Killer, Pooh is my main man. He should be going to the Olympics. What they did to him at the Olympic trials was a travesty. I have never seen anyone get so blatantly cheated like he did. It was a disgrace to the sport. Lloyd couldn't even believe it. We just looked at each other and shook our heads. Pooh went so hard. He came out to the Olympic trials by himself. No coach, no parents, no - nothing. I don't know anyone who has ever done that. It was crazy. All the people that came to support me got in his corner though. He had a cheering section.
