Do you ever do prison pushups? Seems like something you would like. You take three benches one for your legs and one each to place your individual hands on. The point is to go low and get the negative then push back up- they are cool because you get a greater range of motion- the stretch in the chest feels good too. |

Thanks. I like the front squat exercise. We'll see how the regular squats go this week.

Mine hang out all over the place at work, granted, I don't do it on purpose, and I am not a manager, but when I wear short sleeves, they are out there, and everyone wants to see what they are .And its when you are working out for God's sake! What are you gonna do, wear a sweatshirt at the new gym YOU created for fear of someone seeing a tattoo? from what I gather, I think they respect you enough at your job to not let it be an issue |

When they see me doing chins with 100lbs on my waist they won't say anything

I have tattoos, I work out obsessively, I eat obsessively, and generally don't share many of their opinions or sense of humor with things. Do I get along with them? Yes. Do I want to hang out with them? No. Do I care what they think about me personally? No. I only care that they perceive that I do a good job and that's it. I dunno, I am not in management, so maybe I don't have the right attitude about it, but if someone is going to look upon you negatively because they see you have a couple of tattoos, while you are wearing your gym clothes, then those people could kiss my ass. It's not lilke you wear tanktops to work or whatever! I have my son's name on my arm and it is clearly visible if I wear short sleeves, I mean you can't NOT see it, but I wear it proud, it's my son and if anyone says anything about it, I will tell them where to stick it. I mean, the superintendant of the district had to have seen them one day I was working with him, and I am still here, so I guess it wasn't too bad,
so if you had a company bbq in the summer time and it was 95 degrees outside, you wouldn't wear a tanktop for fear of someone seeing your tattoos? Oh and yeah, the chinup thing might help make them think twice about saying something to you as well |

Without knowing anything about his job, I am sure he probably wears a shirt and tie every day, with possibly the exception of Fridays, so I am sure his "image" is totally professional and befitting of this position. This whole topic came up cause he said he was hesistant to work out at the gym that he had a big role in creating cause he has a couple of tattoos that people would see if he wore sleeveless shirts. I just want to stress that THAT'S the point I have a problem with and the other stuff is just my opinion, and not ever being in management, I could very quite possibly be speaking completely out of my ass |

I appreciate it Jersey.
I added an extra set to some of my exercises. I normally only to 1 or 2 sets but today I tried to vary the weights and reps a bit more. RIs were kept between 60 - 75 seconds. I was sweating like a pig! Nice job.

Not sure but I have taken 4 and 5 days off a couple times over the last few months. I don't feel burnt from the gym. However, I'm heading to Vegas on Thursday morning. I may workout there on Friday but I may take all 4 days off.
Flight leaves tomorrow at 9AM.
