Tosabarbell

Sneak peak of the future site of Tosabarbell!!

And talking about Joseph Mensa, 2 of 3 civil cases against Officer Mensah has been dismissed. So, Mayor Meatball McBride for Tosa sold out our community to the BLM/People's Revolution mob for months on end resulting in our city being put on curfew and calling in the National Guard while he allowed the mob to run free AFTER offering up one of his own police officers to said mob instead of backing him for keeping the community and other officers safe.

Gonna tell my kids this is Joseph Menza.

A tale of 2 Caber tosses

Our travels west to throw in Highland Games consisted (hopefully if the calendar hit right) Portland with the next week up in Washington at Enumclaw. However, in 2015 we decided to apply for the prestigious Pleasanton Games and throw alongside the Pro Men's World Championships along with so many other amazing classes. It was amazing...and SO HOT!

To throw Caber and WOB on a horse track with THOUSANDS cheering for you was surreal. To do it in the afternoon sun was scorching! Because Matt and I were on opposite ends of the track, I didn't get to see what he was doing and vice versa, or so I thought.

My 1st two picks were strong but I didn't turn the stick. I had a slight lead going into the event and dropping down to 3rd place was going to kill the hard work I'd done all morning. On my 3rd & final attempt, I was moving down the caber and suddenly got tunnel vision. Nothing existed except for me and that ginormous log. No sound was heard, my feet were floating. Just my hands on the caber and the dirt in front of me. I've never experienced it again, gods know I've tried. I dipped my knees, pulled the everyloving out of the stick and turned it a perfect 12:00. I didn't hear anything, couldn't focus on anything. I turned around and saw our judge's hands signaling twelve o'clock and said, "I hope this is okay" before grabbing him in a huge hug.

After watching the rest of the event, I hot (literally) stepped it under the tent, off the tracks. Most competitors stuck around to watch the big dogs throw caber, I was WAY too hot. A few minutes later, sitting by myself enjoying a few moments of quiet (sorry y'all, I'm an introvert and the social interaction of a Highland Games is stressful amd exhausting for me🤷‍♀️), the AMAZING Nate Parker came back to the tent, saw me and said, "Well your husband just kicked my ass at Caber." WHAT?!!! I demanded details and found out that only Matt and Nate (who went on to win the overall) turned their Caber and Matt edged him out.

When I got up to go find Matt, I was relieved that he was making his way to the tent and I could stay out of the sun.🤣 Matt gave me a huge hug and said, "It's pretty cool to see 5000 people stand up and cheer and then look down the track and realize they're cheering for your wife who just turned a perfect caber." I said, "people cheered?!" He couldn't believe I didn't hear them! 🤣

Matt had this picture framed of us, hot as hell and exhausted, at Pleasanton after our Caber wins along with the medals we received. We also have his Caber win plaque. It is one of our most prized possessions in Tosabarbell and the memories are so very treasured. 🤎

We've been busy the last 6 months preparing for our move. Packing up the gym will be a bit brutal. We've spent 10 years ensuring tosabarbell had the right energy with the right people in it. I gave zero sh*ts about equity or inclusion, only that clients had integrity and respected the gym. I gave zero sh*ts what races or genders trained here, only that people work hard and didn't derail their progress at home.

The next space won't be any different. Buckle up Minnesota, tosabarbell will soon be on its way.

For now, before we pull everything down, we get to show it off a bit. The Shamrock Games in Springfield, IL was a kickoff to our/my throwing season for many years. We called it the Indoor Highland Games world championship. 🤣 In 2015, with Masters Women still throwing the 28 # weight, I won the WOB overall. I'm super proud of that. 2 elite throwers were in the mix and while they went on to beat me several times, that day was mine. ♥️ So Merl let me take the WOB sign home. Good day and good memories. Also, inside the coliseum was always colder than outside! 🤣

Bill Maher's response to the simple minded bigots like those at Fitpower LLC...

FYI for gyms like Fitpower LLC in Milwaukee.

Fitpower LLC in Milwaukee continues its bigoted campaign against Israel and the Jewish community. The fact that she then posts a Happy Hanukkah post days later perfectly illustrates how stupid and unoriginal these activists are.

Also, stating activism is the first priority of a gym while the owner had gained nearly 100 pounds in the last couple of years makes one go, "hmmmm."

I can't love enough when small businesses bag on the evils of capitalism.🤣 I dunno, maybe close your doors and go actively promote your anti-semitism?

Your society is what you make it...dipsh*t.

Do you believe that even 5% of the American antisemitic mob even know who this woman is? It's fashionable to be pro-Terrorist these days, I guess.🤷‍♀️

Golda Meir did an impromptu panel interview for Face the Nation after the start of the Yom Kippur war. She was asked by NYT reporter, Terrence Smith: "How do you explain this lack of sympathy for a country that was attacked?"

Golda's reply: "They don't understand how wrong they are."

When schools indoctrinate and fail to TEACH history, it repeats itself.

Maybe Fitpower LLC could read a history book for antisemites to understand that "cease fire" actually means "surrender."

Local gym, Fitpower LLC continues to shill for organizations that want to see Isreal and the Jewish people exterminated.

Hey guys, maybe shutdown your disgusting & blatant bigotry? No? See ya next Wednesday.

Oh look, more antisemitic posts from Milwaukee gym, Fitpower LLC.

Also, it's always fun when a small business calls out capitalism evil. 🤣

🙋‍♀️ Question to those who'd like to see Jews wiped off the planet, do you understand what you're asking for here?

Antisemitism is strong with Fitpower. Glad they don't have Jews hiding around their gym, they'd have blown the whistle by now.

It took less than 80 years and just over two generations to forget.

Local gyms advocating for the destruction of Isreal; college students advocating for the extinction of Jews; and German board members of sports federations advocating in support for one of the most heinous terrorist organizations of all time.

But this time, people won't watch and hide in their homes. This time, we speak out.

Fitpower, do you understand WTF you're even advocating for? This isn't a false front, domestic terrorist organization like BLM. This is a very real call for the support of finishing the work the Nazi's failed to do. You're either an idiot, or evil.

The openly brazen antisemitic, pro-terrorist stand taken by alt-left activists in America is disgusting. Many are woke sheep and this is their ignorant outrage of the day. Many honestly believe that Israel, and the Jews who live there, should be eradicated from the earth.

I refuse to tolerate any antisemitism that crosses my path. Zero. Tolerance.

To see a local gym show an alliance to one of the most evil, inhumane terrorist organizations is a massive disappointment.

Fitpower on Vliet, do better.

Did you know?

Did you know the first Olympics that allowed women's weightlifting was the 2000 Sydney Games?

It took less than 17 years for a man to be allowed to lift as a woman. That the IWF is taking a lap for "gender equality" is a joke. Also, they can f**k straight off with the "strength knows no gender" tag line.

Equity.

Coincidence?

Friday Jams: My Bell Bottoms are not Your Vintage! A few weeks ago a REEL crossed my path where a seemingly nice young lady was super exited because a realtor friend called her up and said that an apartment he will show needs to be cleaned out and …

My Grandpa Igawa (Grandpa Shorty) died last month. I only met him a few times. He was a sweet man of few words and what words he spoke were a mix of Japanese, Hawaiian, and Pidgen so I didn't understand the few words anyway;)

My Auntie sent this picture and while he looks adorable, I look rough. Too much beer; too many carbs, and zero training makes for a sloppy Jules. The fun part of the photo? I weighed almost 20 pounds less than I do now.🤣 Muscle is a beautiful thing. And while I AM too big now, hence the planned year off, I wouldn't trade the muscle I've built for anything.

Thanks for the smiles Grandpa Shorty. Heavenly hugs to Tutu ❤💜

When the Weights of the world are trying to bury you, feel your feelings and get back in the game!

Some Days the Weight Wins It occurred to me the other day that I hadn’t written my story of World Masters Weightlifting Championships (otherwise known as, Worlds;) back in December. What now seems like a lifetime ago.…
