    My Elbows are Junk - long term the US Gear handle may have helped

    @chef23 & @6balls, sometimes it's good to back off on the amount of weight you lift and focus on strengthening the suporting tendons & muscles. You can do this by doing lighter weights in an unstable environment, or by also dropping the amt of weight & using the Fat Gripz for a while. The meatheads at my gym swear by the Fat Gripz, no more tendonitis from heavy lifting. I always had trouble with tendonitis prior to becoming a personal trainer, but now that I know what to do it does't bother me anymore.

    OK, do any of you guys lift weights during the off season? I am a personal trainer, you neeed to try Fat Gripz. They claim to help build grip & forearm strength, also help with tendonitis. I used them last winter & really noticed a difference in my grip & forearms. I use them about 1 time per week for lat pulls, seated rows, upright rows, & deadlifts. Now on the day you used these, you will initially need to drop your weight & possibly reps. They can make the exercises very hard! http://www.fatgripz.com/

    Anyone ski with a USCG approved vest?

    I used the women's version of the non-USCG for several years. It has a little more flotation than most non-USCG vest, but not as bulky as the USCG vests. You are right, it is heavier than most, but very comforatable. My biggest complaint was the dry time... I did like the lumbar support, I miss it in my current vest.

    Mrs MS, trick mode in 196 would work. I think I've done that a few times by accident. OR you could come ski behind our 1993 Sport Nautique, not much difference than the Deathstar... Kelly is very determined!!! Don't underestimate her (& Kenna's) will to ski behind the 196!

    They normally try to get 3 rounds in for sourthern canadians if they need to leave before sunday, but it usually depends on how long trick & jump take... Might not have jump, it was torn apart in last Sunday's storm.

    There is a chance that the Southern Canada 2 weeks of summer could be over by then. Possiblity of snow? Are you still coming to the IA State tournament? Our lakes are like bath water, could be like hot tub by next weekend.

    My husband did this several years ago. We found a headband at a competetive swimsuit shop, he looked like a 4 year old when wearing it! Walgreen's had the moldable ear plugs. This combination kept him skiing until it healed.
