btw guys.... got another 'online' date for tomorrow night. Rather then the typical 'let's meet for a drink', we are going to play miniature golf (putt putt).

I thought that would be a better way to break the ice..

Posted by: Pylon

I hate your dips. Just saying.

Don't forget to tee up and get a full driver-type swing on the first hole. Chicks dig that.

Posted by: Burner02

...was that a metaphor for: just go for it?

Good luck, JD!

Massive inclines!

Last night's date update.

Weather was bad, thunderstorms, and she sprained her ankle the night before. So we met at Applebee's for a couple of drinks, instead.

Very nice looking woman, smart, into sports, workouts with weights.... but I wasn't 'feelin it'. She was sort of depressing and seemed like every time I talked about something, she would bring up an old boyfriend. She has been separated and divorced for 4 years, so of course she has dated, but omg, I had the impression she has had about 300 boyfriends in that time.

And, could you at least smile once in awhile? I forget the name of the song, but the lyrics go "And all her friends tell her she's so pretty but she'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while." Reminds me of last night.

Pretty girl, but what a turnoff.

NEXT.

I am following Pfunk's template. He is adjusting rep ranges throughout. From week 1 to 12, you will see low rep to high rep stuff..

No way brotha! The 8/8 means 8 reps each arm.... I only did 2 sets

.

No hot date this weekend. I am getting very disillusioned with online dating....

I wish I could say I am smooth... but I am not. What you see, is what you get. I have female friends that tell me that is a great way to be, not a player. Trouble is, you see the 'players' snagging all of the chicks!

This just in... I had a deep conversation with my smokin' hot neighbor. She is 41, and I am 53. She has a 4 year old girl with her BF, who is also my neighbor. She basically told me she wants to leave him, and to find a guy who looks after himself, doesn't sleep until noon on weekends, and is a nice guy. Then she said... it is obvious you look after yourself, and I see you up early on the weekends, and Paul (my name) I can tell you are a sweet guy.

Holy crap. ok, let's review. The BF is a druggie who has to pick up trash for community service in a local park because he was busted for drugs.

Number 1: The BF could blow my head off
Number 2: She doesn't have a job, and needs financial support
Number 3: She has a 4 yr old, and while I love kids, I am done with the stepdad thing. I had a total of 3 stepkids from two marriages, and once I was divorced from their Mom's, I was kicked to the curb like yesterday's trash (and my last, I raised from 5 to 16).

I am not asking for advice, because I know there is no way..... but crap. I swear on a stack of bibles, she is a Pam Anderson lookalike.

Posted by: Burner02

what Arch said....
it depends on what you want. You can be freinds...but seriously...she has to contribute. It doesn't sound as if she does.
I hate to say it...as I'm...38...and still single...but the partner has to be that...a partner. She has to bring something to the table other than looks.
She sounds like a upgraded walk-in closet of baggage.
besides hot...what does she bring to the table?
If she wants a fling...perfect. But if you are looking for something with substance...keep it to just friends...at a distance.

heh...I'm right there with ya on the no game. it was easy when I was a bouncer: it was dark..they were drink...it worked in my favor...

Dude...if I were near ya...we'd have to hang and go do some cougar hunting...

I was talking to her tonight, with a couple of other neighbors (one an 80 year woman, and I'm guessing a 50 year old woman), and she is telling us how her legs are hurting when walking. She is wearing 2" heels and I said maybe that is why. Oh no she said, "the heels make it easier to walk. Maybe because I was a dancer back in the day". That is New Jersey speak for saying "I was a stripper".

My only hope is that Pryor is watching the 2006 National Championship highlights where Vince Young smoked the unbeatable USC (34 straight wins) defense for a personal 467 yards, and a national championship....

Have you decided what will be next?

I'm also noticing slightly better definition with the higher volume workout. I will admit that some days it is tough getting started.

One thing I've been doing to keep the strength part is that the first exercise of the day are triples, doubles, and singles. The remainder of the exercises are done with high volume.

Posted by: JerseyDevil

Thanks guys for the feedback.

I was going to start back at week 1 on the program and tweak some movements.... But I am leaning to going back to my low volume, try to use as much weight possible wo's, for at least a few weeks. I feel at home there, but changing up is the way to go.

I always feel at home using heavy weights and low reps.

Have you did both a deload and simply taking a week off? Which one do you think was more beneficial?

I surely have over the years. I just was doing Pfunk's workouts as posted here on Ironmag Understanding the 4-Week Block - Part 1: Advancing Our Training Program . It was a great change up for me, but even the low volume workouts, were like high volume for me. I did see some good results in definition for sure.

Well... She is, as they say in Jersey "down the shore", meaning she lives on the NJ coast. We have been talking online for 6 weeks or so, and figured it wasn't going to work because of distance. But we stayed in contact to be friends, and we like each other. But for whatever reason we decided it was time to meet.

I met her Saturday, and wow, and she wow'ed back. I really like her, and she likes me. Her name is Karan, not Karen (why does that turn me on?) ... I am going to see her again this weekend.

She does not workout, does not like sports, but she is cool with both.... Opposites do attract, right?

We decided to put things on hold for the time being, but I think I am moving on. She wants a guy she can see everyday in a serious relationship, and I am comfortable dating and seeing her once a week.

A 90 mile round trip is too much, especially since she seems unwilling to come visit me. Her Mom told her the guy should come see the girl, k. Maybe Mom can pay for the gas. I was just divorced 9 months ago, and "Jersey" isn't ready for a steady yet...

You find some serious hottie and she's locked you in her house to pleasure her till the cows come home?

....so..how's the dating going?

I'm honored my boyz are concerned!

Usually I would say, oh I just haven't posted... but in this case, yes my last wo was Sunday 10/11. Work was crazy and just didn't make it to the gym that week. Then 10/17 I flew to FL to visit my Dad. Just got back today, and trust me, back to the gym tomorrow!

Burner... I have been fortunate with meeting chicks on the site I go to, but it is a game for sure. I recently met one, who threw me for a loop. Great looking, awesome personality, sweet, similar interests.... we went out on two fun dates, and honestly I could fall hard for her

. But she is more interested in playing the field, with me as an 'interest' ( I feel like one of the Antonio chicks on VH1). Homey don't play that, but this one hurt.

Dating sucks

How 'bout them Phillies? Funny how almost every sportswriter didn't even give the Phils a chance to beat the Dodgers.... The Phillies completely dominated, completely. If the Dodgers hadn't rallied in game 2, it would have been a sweep!

...and they will be an underdog against the AL. Lovin' it. GO PHILLIES!

Dang, bud- that sucks. What site? Feel free to share with a fellow single guy...
You'd think that women over the age of say....26 would be done with games...
I've got friends here who keep telling me to try eharmony....eh..we'll see.

How cool is this? An ex girl friend is trying to hook me up with a cute red head.

Dunno what to tell you about that girl, bro- take charge...either keep having fun w/ her on your terms or see if she is ready to see you as more than a mere interest...(I know...easy for me giving advice when I'm here on female lock down...)

The fans are mad after the disaster Purdue game, and it didn't help that both Sports Illustrated and Fox posted negative articles about Pryor last week.

My take is Tressel and company do not know how to develop an elite athlete like he is. On talk radio one call in said "Tressell is like the guy who buys a Vette, but doesn't know how to drive it". I thought that was good.

I think also, Terrell isn't as good as everybody originally thought, but he also is not nearly as bad as people are thinking know. The o-line is just as much to blame.

Only time will tell.

Where for out thou?
Good date go REALLY good? Like...silk scarves and knotts involed good?

Posted by: JerseyDevil

I'm still a lone hormone, taking a break from the perpetual dating cycle. Had fun, got laid a couple of times, and spent too much money! I'm coming to the conclusion there is no suited to me, lol.

Been working out at least twice a week, just out of the habit of posting. I really need to get serious about my diet again and drop some weight. I'm at 215, but I would like to get down to 185-190 range. Hate the thought of losing strength, but at 53 (54 in 2 weeks), strength isn't as important to me (remind me I said this when I start whining about getting weak). Wish I could use 'supplements' again to cut, but while it was fun doing a few cycles 5 years ago, that is a chapter in my life I am not revisiting.

Posted by: yellowmoomba

Glad you are doing OK and still lifting.

It's the constant debate: Get strong like an Ox or ripped like a welterweight fighter. I'm leaning toward the ripped effect

Posted by: JerseyDevil

Hey! I just read about this Rep thing. Someone give me some points! I'm looking bad, lol.

YM, I just gave you 198 points (max I guess).
