How to roast a bird Purposefully Primitive style »

Here are a couple of pictures of the purposefully primitive training lair of yet another old training partner; Chuck DeLuxe. Training alone in the wilds of West Virginia, Mr. DeLuxe has all the strength accoutrements a man could ask for. Plus the kitchen is only steps away and in order to maintain his mass as we swing into the competitive powerlifting season, Chuck D. fires down enough calories daily to feed an entire starving Somalian village for a week (ask him if he cares.) Chuck looks as if the 198-pound class will now be just a distant memory.

By the way, Chuckie is one of the best drug-free raw powerlifters in the country, current national and world champion, and if I could just get him to follow Larry Scotts 1966 pre-Olympia diet plan I feel certain he could come in a ripped-and-shredded 198-pounds and still squat 550, bench 400 and deadlift 630. This would crush at the nationals and worlds in his weight division. But Chuck just drawls and says real slow, awwww.I dont know Marty.I guess I just like my BBQ tooooo much.. and the mash potatoes and the chicken and the fish and are you going to finish those biscuits and is there any more of this? Then he takes a nap.

I actually talked him into dieting down to 198 a few years back (he bite the bullet hard: he cut down from eating three Big Macs at a sitting to only one per sitting and regular fries no supersizing) and he did great. The women judges at the competition awarded him their annual unofficial, Best Legs on a Man prize at the end of the two day championships. Being happily married he gratefully declined the 1st place award. Chuck is real deceptive. With all the southern slow talk, youd never guess he has a law degree and another degree in journalism. He has written articles for MILO and was Stuart McRoberts clean-up hitter over at Hard Gainer. That was always a bone of contention between us; I told him I only hung around easy gainers and he didnt know how to take that. Now hes the head of fundraising at a college and lives and trains in rural America just like some character in a John Mellencamp song.

Chuck - is that your Easter basket hanging from the rafters in the picture? Since you and Mary dont have any kids, I got to figure that basket is yours Chuckster. You need to bring that to the next powerlift competition and carry your gym bag gear around in the Easter basket. Take it with you wherever you go and then kick everyones ass. That would be cool and would add immensely to your ongoing saga. Our crowd would speak of it in reverential tones for years to comethink about it.
