It needs a few more finishing touches, but what I am concerned about is how to wrap the leather around the handle to make it look like the one he had in the movie, I don't know how to do that and I don't feel like paying someone a ton of money to do something I am sure is pretty simple, I wonder if I could find a youtube or instructional video teaching you how to wrap a handle in leather???
What's your montage song? Every great transformation in the movies has a montage....so what's yours?
Is it braided leather in the movie or just wrapped? I am sure you could find some leather tennis racket handle wrap that you could put on there it has a light adhesive and would be very simple to use. Any avid tennis player could assist you in the proper technique.
Somehow I lost my subscription to this beast. I know you have been really busy si thought maybe you just had not updated. Sorry for the absence brother.

I'm not exactly sure how big the one from the movie was, but this one is at least 2" longer and 1" wider than the one I see in the picture!
I have no doubt you will pull it off.
This might top the silver surfer costume.
Here is my hammer.

Get a belt till ur back heals. I know you're against em but so was I.

ScottyDoc said:Technically, THOR is HUGE, I mean they down-played him so they could find a more attractive actor to play the part! Same thing they did for Wolverine in X-Men... Wolverine is like 5'5" at best and Hugh Jackman is my size (6'2" 220Lbs) if not a little bigger than me... we'll see how much I weight when I am shredded! I weighed exactly 230Lbs this morning, on the dot!
Yea Thor is damn huge..
Wolverine is like 5'3" 300lbs 3% bf.
Haha. Damn the marvel comics heroes and their year round shredded bodies.

In the Marvel Universe, Thor's physical stats are:Well they are not super-heroes for nothing, LoL!
How heavy is that thing? So you are going as THOR as well?
In the Marvel Universe, Thor's physical stats are:
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 600lbs. (Asgardian muscle tissue is much more dense than Earth mortals)
Lol! It weighs 45lbs and no, I'm not going as Thor. I had it made for my job. We used to use an old circus hammer until I started making other wood hammers. Finally I got tired of them breaking and commissioned the making of that brute and four smaller ones that we use to drive the 1" oak pins to hold our frames together.
Guys they got bigger over time... they were nowhere near this huge in early sixties when these comics came out but the need for them to be bigger got a lot of focus just like it did in bodybuilding..
Here is the 1st Avengers in 63 I had issue number 4 and up but was missing a few here and there... look Hulk was a member till issue 6 and no Captain America!! He did not become and member till issue 4!! 1st Avenger my azz!! It was the Avengers who found him...

Here's the covers, notice Hawkeye not a member till 16th issue... they are going to fug this up I know it...

- I got all this done in 30 minutes, I could have gone faster, but I had plenty of time and did a little resting and chatting with friends in the gym here and there. I completed 1 hour of cardio on the elliptical machine after my workout.
Diet:
Meal 1 - Pure Protein Protein Drink (RTD) & Trioplex Oatmeal & Yogurt Protein cookie
Meal 2 - 6 egg whites/1 yoke, 1 can of green beans & Trioplex Peanutbutter & chocolate Protein cookie
Meal 3 - 8oz Baked Chicken & 1 can of green beans
Meal 4 - 2 cans of tuna in water & 1 can of spinach
Meal 5 - a 2:1 Peanut butter chocolate protein bar
Meal 6 - 8oz Baked Chicken & 1 can of green beans
2+ gallons of water all day (I have been putting BCAA's in my water lately, taste good, no calories or very minimal, can only help)
* I know many of you are probably wondering, why so many protein bars and cookies, well I worked the nutrition store today and they have a lot of stuff that just expired, so I am taking advantage of Free Protein bars/cookies, etc.
* Disc Golf with Morry again tomorrow (Sunday), Whew-Hew... can't wait, he's got me hooked on it, I have been thinking about it and anticipating the next time I can play again all week, not to mention I am looking forward to his company and us chatting up the weights and supplementation stuff as well, Good-Times gentlemen, good times!!!
Guys, I actually held that hammer. It is focking AWESOME. I guessed the damn thing weighed 35lbs....right. I was only 27 or so pounds off.
I'm considering going to the costume party with Al. Have been toying with the Hulk idea. Maybe a Spartan. I have some leaning out to do if I'm going to do that though.
My dad and I used to take an 8lb sledge hammer with a full length handle and mess with guys. It's amazing how some guys have no wrist/grip strength! What we would do is hold the handle all the way at the bottom with one hand, leave our elbow locked and then hold the sledge straight out in front of us. From there, just by moving our wrist, we would touch our nose with the face of the sledge. Had a pretty good laugh at some guys that almost busted themselves in the nose trying it! Lmao!!
Day 76 - 09/25/2011 - No exercise (Disc Golf with Morry again)
OK, so Morry and I met out there at the park again to play some disc golf and we did all 18 holes and once again he showed me how much I need to keep practicing, I did play much better this time around, so I am improving. Feeling good, no back pain!
So after disc golf I picked up my daughter and met Morry around the corner where the three of us at lunch at Frontera Mex. Restaurant, yes, I ate bad, he was paying, what can I say, it is all his fault, LoL, I ate a Cuban Sandwich, nothing healthy or lean about it other than I'm sure I got my protein from that meal, about all I can say about that. Oh and my wife works at the restaurant, so she was our server, so very nice after game meal, Thanks Bro!
So later that day, my daughter loves the whole disc golf thing as well, because last week she went with us and we let her use all the discs on every goal to throw them in (putting) and she loves it, so she was upset that Morry and I went without her and I promised I would take her later that day, I figured what the hell, I mean if I'm ever gonna give Morry a run for his money, I best be practicing. So my daughter and I went out there and threw another 18 holes, now I don't know what was going on, but my right glute started to hurt and send sciatic nerve like pain shooting down my leg. This pain was not happening from throwing, just about half way through 9th goal or so it just started to hurt as I was walking and it got worse and worse and worse, that by the time I got in my car and drove home (all of 5 mins) I had to spend like 3 mins just to get out, I don't know how to describe this pain guys, I mean it hurts, my whole leg feels weak, just crazy! I went to sleep early, around 9:00pm, but was woken up when my wife got in from work around 11:30pm and stayed up chatting with her until around 12:30am and it was still hurting and I was doing a lot of painful tossing and turning, nothing seemed to relieve the pain/discomfort.
Day 77 - 09/26/2011 - Fuggin Cripple!
When I woke up this morning, it was worse than ever, not my groin on that leg feels like it has been strained/pulled as well! I am a Fuggin Mess over here, I feel like a damn cripple and can't figure this out for the life of me! I drove my daughter to school and then instead of going to the gym (could not think of what I could do that would not hurt it, I mean sleeping hurts it) I just went back home and slept for another hour and a half and then woke up to come to work and here I am. This really sux bad! I mean based on how it is hurting I won't even be able to do the elliptical until this subsides, so it looks like another week of no legs, (not happy) I will do Shoulders & Traps tomorrow, Back on Wed, I have to go to a special "Daddy's" breakfast with my daughter at her school on Thursday and I will do Biceps and Triceps on Friday and hopefully if I am up to it, I will try the elliptical on Saturday!
This is just so weird guys, I mean when I hurt my back last Sunday, I know how, when, where and why I hurt it! This time, I don't have a single answer to any of those questions, I mean it isn't like I did something where I can say, ever since then it started to hurt, I just noticed it was a little sore, then it got worse and worse and worse until finally it is at the point where it is now, just crazy! But don't worry, I'm not giving up anything and I will continue to diet and exercise around my injury and besides losing time on my legs, which in the big scheme of things won't be that big of a deal, I can still work my other body parts and if I have to just spend time in the Sauna instead of doing the elliptical then so be it, no excuses I will still hit my mark, hell I'll roll out in a FUGGIN WHEEL CHAIR holding that HAMMER if I have to, LoL!
