I'm pretty sore today. Switching from an HIT style workout with 1 or 2 sets per body part - to 6 sets made a big difference in my soreness....We'll see if the weights keep going up

I saw some rich movie star chick on TV walking on the treadmill with her little lap dog. I like your method better. The first looked a little "wine and cheese" if you know what I mean.

I know what you mean......Walking/running through 6-8 inches of snow in the woods is a pretty good workout

But, hiking thru the woods w/ your dog sounds like a good time though!

Hey AA - Christmas is half over ... We celebrated with my wife entire family last Saturday and my entire family on Sunday. This weekend we are heading to my dads house on the 24th then to her immediate family's house on the 25th. Fortunately - I was done shopping weeks ago

I guess "ex" would be the operative term there, right?



Posted by: Burner02

pretty much. I still feel for her...lots about her I want in a mate...but I think she has a couple 'wires crossed' upstairs....
The bad thing is...I 'can't have her...for what she did...but I really do not wana date anybody else...thinking...I'm gonna be single forever...



Posted by: Pylon

Not such a bad way to go through life. Ask anyone who is married.



Posted by: Burner02

getting too old for 'one night stands', brotha....don't really even pursue them...
I would like to have a family..and since I am still old fashioned in that aspect..that means a family...marriage. I just have to 'troll' the younger women...24 - 29 year olds...
know how hard it is to find a woman w/out kids around here??? I like kids, don't get me wrong..but I'd prefer to start a family..not marry into one...

You see new women every weekend ... and you are sober when you see them....You should be able to find one or two out to the bunch



Posted by: Burner02

trust me...I do see...
(now I sound like mino...)

I think I am losing my touch though. twice now, in the past month...I've had two cute girls come up and talk w/ me....I didn't know what to do...lemme explain....I am used to having fat chicks or psychos come up to me, so I am used to the 'duck and evade' technique....the cute girls threw me off...

What I really hate tho is....I do meet a LOT of women....someone will come up to me and start talking w/ me and I have no idea who they are....I know we've met...by they way she is talking..but my mind...blank. nada...zilch...



Posted by: Pylon

Well, you can always just look really intent on the work while bouncing. If you don't know what to say, just say "excuse me for a second" and glare really hard at no one in particular. Once in a while stand up like you are about to take someone out, then sit back down and say "sorry. Just trying to make sure everyone is ok." Chicks'll melt for that.

Billie, Dev, wanna back me up here?

heh hee...like I don't already do that....

OK, so what's the problem? Just do that a couple of times, then say "Look, I think I may have to deal with something here, but I'd love to continue this conversation sometime soon. Is there a good way to get in touch with you if I can't get back over here before you leave?"



Posted by: Burner02

...I'm shy....




Posted by: Triple Threat

The worst that could happen is that she says no.

No wait. The worst that could happen is she kicks you in the groin and then says no.



Posted by: Burner02

I do hope that u don't know this from personal experience....
ok..all kiddig aside...I could do well if I was actively pursuing any.
I talk w/ a lot of women...some..REALLY good looking....I'm not 'in a place' where I can really pursue them. I talk on the phone w/ 3 - 4 women during the week..and have a 'friend' come from Denver once in a while to hang out...
y'all have nothing to worry about me for....
I'm just notreally ready to get back with any particular girl...and do't really go for the one night stands...so I flirt, then go home alone...most of the time.

now...THAT'S advice I can use...

Brother Burner, it'll happen when it's meant to happen, not when you look for it, does that make sense? I'll be sending my best thoughts and prayers your way for you to be happy with whatever you choose, and do!!! Hope that doesn't sound retarded!!!

Now, get back to the gym!!!

Were you able to do any at all?



Posted by: Pylon

Those plyos looked sick. I can't even imagine trying them.

Overhead rope press...cable station, grabbing behind head and extending toward ceiling?



Posted by: CowPimp

Damn, if you had trouble with the plyo chinups I'm scared. You're a monster with your chinups man. 70 pounds for 4... Holy balls! I always respect your workouts. A true athlete to the core, and a damned strong one at that.

I was able to do four ...but I had to keep resetting my hands on the bar. I'm sure I could work on them but the only benefit I see from doing them is "hand/arm speed". I was not really gettnig a full muscle contraction. Maybe I'll try them a couple more times just to see how well they work.

That's a pretty close description but I lean forward on a 45' angle and press the rope so it's in-line with my body. Know what I mean ??

Thanks CP......I don't think it was a 'strength' issue but rather a 'practice' issue. Give 'em a try ... I'm sure you'll get a couple.

way to go on the pull ups, brotha! My best was w/ BW +55...and that's when I got the tendonitis...

(I used to thnk I was the 'shit' for doing that weight..till I saw what NT was doing....that sick MOFO!)



I wanna try those plyp pU's too...but I see it as too much 'torque' on the tendons..and don't wanna reinjure them....

...that video REALLY fires u up? how's this...I'm taking my two hours of extra time to day to leave here EARLY and go do my legs. Good? good! Then I will be back on track...

All is good here. I did stop HIT since I had more time to devote to the gym between semesters of school. I made some good progress but I noticed that HIT does not change the way I look as much as a 3-4 day/week routine. I may go back to it in a few weeks once football starts (Jan 2nd). One thing I figured out is that I need to incorporate 1 more set for tris and bis into the new HIT workout.

Welcome back

=================

12/26/05

FOOTBALL


3 games

The league director called me early Friday morning. One of the teams dropped out of the tournament so he asked if I could field a team - we weren't planning on playing due to the holiday. I was able to get 9 guys to play. 5 from the normal team (including me) and 4 others. We went 2 -1 in the tournament which wasn't bad considering no practices, 4 new guys and all three of our blockers were not there.

My AT felt pretty good. I did not run 100% but I did go about 90%. My arm felt pretty good too. I threw a lot more than normal. My hip flexors and groin are kinda tight this morning but nothing some Ibu and hot tubing won't fix

I'm "back in the game"

I plan on hitting an upper body workout today.



Posted by: Archangel

Sounds like all is well for you my Friend, congrats on the games, best wishes to you Brother YM!!!



Posted by: Pylon

sounds like a good time, YM!

You should be lookin' sharp in '06. Where do you skate? I haven't put my old CCM's on in over 10 years!!!! I should probably get the kid started young. My wife's sister is big into the figure skating thing and coaches kids still. She makes some nice cash doing it.

Hey BM - I usaully skate over on Middle Straights Lake in West Bloomfield. I used to live there. I play with my old neighbors. It's "lake hockey" so no pads (except skin guards), no checking or lifting the puck. It's usally 5 on 5. It's a good time. Most of the guys that play are average (at best). One or two guys are pretty good.

You should get him skating!!

It does suck getting old although at almost 35 - I still got moves Actually I'm probably alot better now than I was when I was 18, since I'm 40lbs heavier, stronger and "wiser"

The funny thing was -- I'm old enough to be the dad of two the guys we picked up to play with us last night (18,19 years old)

12/27/05

I was planning on going to the gym but I'm on-call. I've been working since 8AM (from home). I just left for 45 minutes to take the dog for a walk. I'll probably just chill today and hit the gym tomorrow.

Being on-call BLOWS!! Fortunately this week - I get "comp time" for working. I know I have a long day of work tomorrow too.

On call isn't too bad...as long as no one calls.

I may have a chance to get to the gym later today. I have more work to do around 2 then some more work around 5'ish. U/M plays at 8PM so ideally I could hit the gym at 6:30 and be home before kick-off

My oldest 2 boys always made fun of me, saying I was an "Old Man" Until I challenged them to a race, they smiled, laughed and called theier friends over, and I calmly and casually "Smoked" 'em, chalk one up for us old geezers huh?!!?

Definatly a w/o in itself, much props to you my Friend!!!

Nice on the Inc. DB Press!
when u post different reps on the rows, is it your grip that is hindering your matching reps per side?

Happy New Years, Dr. Yellowmoomba! Hey, February 1 I think I'll be done cutting and ready for a bulk. Want to help me design a workout with your principles involved? Your's looks like a modified P/RR/S deal. Am I right? Well, here's to a great '06 YM! Maybe this year we can hook up for a Salmon fishing weekend and load our freezers with lots of great protein and omega 3's.

Hey BM...I'd be more than happy to help you set up a program. I'm not doing P/RR/S but could help design something for you based on your goals. I'm sure some others could provide some input too 06 will be a great year

One or two guys are pretty good.
NO CHECKING.... That ain't hockey.

Call Detroit tell dem bullshit trade me right fucking now.

Hope you had a good New Year

Missed the Michigan game. Caught a little of the first half, but had to leave. Shitty that the Refs had such an impact.

Burner - That's not allowed. You are doing great without 'em.

I've never seen someone use 80 extra pounds to do pullups before. That's some nice relative strength there. I've gotta catch up to you on those. Very nice.

It's a big "time" commitment. The work is not too hard. It's a lot of reading and papers. My company is paying for it so it tough not to do it

Lifting is starting out slowly after the strike we had here.

That's why I'm hesitant to begin. I have a 1 and 3 year old. I feel I would miss out on the early stages of their life if I went back to school. My wife states that it's better to go now than before school starts, which I can see her point. Work would pay if I went back also. The biggest factor to return for me is, I'm a huge Duke University fan and I would have a chance to enroll their to get my Masters.

You got a good point, but I know me, I hate quitting, so if I started, I'd see it through to the end. You made another good point, I have my bs degree, and getting a masters will really not help me climb the ladder at my current job, but it should help if I ever decide to leave.

Good luck in football, but remember it bball season right now
