It's the constant debate: Get strong like an Ox or ripped like a welterweight fighter.

Crazy day here it the Northeast. I have 14" of snow outside my condo, and it isn't supposed to stop until tomorrow morning!

Yeah, I know Burner, nothing compared to Colorado, but a helluva lot more then Kabul! LOL

20" of snow where I'm at, 23.2" officially which is an all time record for Philly...

Where's the leg workout Big Guy?

So did you have to do some shoveling cardio too?

I'm glad you guys are getting it this year (the snowfall I mean) We can really use a break here after the last two years of record breakers.

But, on the other note, shoveling snow does give you a pretty good workout

Hope you have a happy birthday. Any plans for tomorrow?

Hey buddy!
Happy Birthday AND hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Happy Bday and Happy Holidays!!!

Are you off this week?

A late Happy Birthday!!

Yeah, what's up??? Where are the workouts????

Happy New Years!

Looks good to me. I wish we had 150 DBs at the gym.

Any big plans for NYE? We are having a small dinner party at our house.

Can I get to YM's house for NYE? Are you watching the Rose Bowl the next day?

Sure.......it's only about a 10 hour drive Some of my wifes family lives in Jersey. I haven't been out there though.

Of course I'll be watching......just about every college football game will be on at my house. I'm looking forward to the the TCU vs BS game and the Florida vs Cinn game.

Hey Jersey...

Nice wo! we are going to a friends house for NYE to play Wii and have our glass of champagne at 12:00... lol.....

Wassup, JD!
How'd you ring in the new year?
Me? eh...boring. They did a thing at the show hall...no alcohol...no PDA...BORING...

Your boyz pulled out a nice victory yesterday

I rang it in by going to bed at 11:30 I am so boring.

I did have a few drinks though....

What are the new goals for 2010??

Didn't want to last the final 30 minutes?

My son wanted to stay up until midnight, so we watched some old Twilight Zone episodes until just before midnight. He actually enjoyed them.

As pathetic as it may sound.

1) To slow down the aging process.
2) Drink less alcohol
3) Get a colonoscopy (many monetary excuses not to get one in the past, but now my insurance covers it. Sounds like a real pain in the ass, . But I need to do it.
4) Eat a better diet. I know how, but I am better at preaching then listening to my own advice.
5) To see the Eagles win a REVENGE game against Dallas this Saturday!

So too sum it up, getting old sucks ass.

Ok, get down to 185-195 lbs
Meet an incredible 'mature' woman
Become a more relaxed, less stressed out person. This is my biggest challenge since my job is extremely stressful...


Hey buddy... you asked

3) Get a colonoscopy (many monetary excuses not to get one in the past, but now my insurance covers it. Sounds like a real pain in the ass, . But I need to do it.

Good goals I'm sure you can do it!!!!!

Now the preparation, the night before, well that's a different matter.

That's what I'm talking about....

I had a hernia operation years ago, and same thing. On the pot almost all night "cleansing". Not a fond memory.

Who wants mature? Mature = 10 minutes of missionary maybe twice a week...for for the fun red-head....
seriously. Do it.

The actual procedure is a piece of cake. One minute you're lying there waiting for it to start. The next minute you're waking up in the recovery room.

Any update on Shelby?

Hope she's getting better.

Not that anyone asked, but the growth was determined to be operable, but tricky. Penn was absolutely awesome. 5 hours of surgery. I am convinced she got better care then most people would.

She is home now, but in pain and discomfort. I am nursing my girl back to health.

Do they think they got everything?

Good to hear she has been taken care of so well Our dogs become part of the family

This dog is not part of my family, she IS my family . All of this cost $5,000 and I didn't bat an eye. She is way too young to die. If this re-occurs, then I will probably concede. Not because of the money, but I don't want her to go thru this again.

But.... it isn't going to happen again. She is going to live the full life she deserves.

I like the positive attitude

Glad to hear your girl is getting the best treatment. Here's to a quick recovery!

Looks like you took a week off too

How's Shelby?

Nice workout, JD!

Good stuff, I'm 48 and struggling to get my bench over 235!!

Damn, looking strong as hell in here! Great work!

Are you watching March Madness? There were some good games the last two days. How about Northern Iowa?

Long story, but it looks like they did get it all. With cancer though, nothing is a given. We just have to go day by day and hope it doesn't re-occur. I'm positive she is fine and will be with me for a long time.

Pressing looks strong as always.

I haven't read through all the previous pages, but is there a reason why you aren't training legs these days?

I understand.

Just haven't been able to get to the gym as much as I would like.... No excuses, I'll get back at 'er soon.

FB workouts are fun

If you're having trouble getting to the gym, have you considered doing full-body workouts when you can make it?

Very glad to read the good news about your beloved dog's health!

I love fullbody, and it makes sure everything gets at least a little training.
