Ok, am finishing up with some serios stressors in my life..for the moment, and can put my energies back in the direction I need to be focusing on.
It is now mid-October. I have rughly 6 1/2 more weeks of day shifts left before I go back to mids. I am single..for better or for worse..but I no longer have to rush home to do somthng then get to 'her' house. Which means...I have no more excuses for not doing...<gulp> cardio.
I actually did some tongight. I didn't want to do it. I didn't like it, and didn't do too much, but it was the start of a foundation for things to come.
Ok, some basic stats.
Name: 'Burner" aka:Mike
Age: 33
(almost 34..but according to ex..have the maturity of a 17 year old..so I have that going for me)
Status: Weak and fat
(afraid to tape and BF %. #'s are too high)

Known weights I can move:
Bench Press: 315lbs
Squat: 315 lbs
Dead Lift: 315lbs
Pull Ups: ? ( still afraid to add weight on account of tendons)
BB Curls: 105 lbs
Dips: 90lbs +BW
DB Shrugs: 120lbs
(basic starting place for overall strength of each muscle group)

Am depressed. Found a pic of me 2 years ago..looking 'decent'. It's gonna take a while to get back to that look then improve. See if I can post a pic of that:
Actually, here is a link to pics of me in Dec. '02. THis is what I want to get back to..then improve on...
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/slusse.../ph//my_photos

Pretty damn handsome, eh?
<this is where you just give the gratuitous nod, thank you>

Hey... where are you today?



Posted by: Burner02

holy crap! Look at all the people that have stopped in!
I didn't make it to the gym today...

I have had a rough time getting used to going to bed early adn waking up even earlier since coming back on day shift. last night, I took 2 sleep aid pills to knowck me out. They worked. I did NOT want to wake up. I dragged my ass all day long. I barely made it home before collpasing on my bed for a nap, then I just lounged on the couch until now, before I go to bed. I will get a decent night's sleep tonight. I was planning on lifting 2 days on, one off, then 2 then 1. But I will just take today as my off day and press on thru the next three days.



Posted by: Burner02

Thanks for all the compliments from all you lovely ladies! I can't wait to get back to those stats! And then improve!

What's wrong with pull ups? It's my most favoritist back exercise! I dunno if I wil ever get up to NT's back strength, but I gotta try!

Hey babs! I was just joshing about the 17 year old thing. Ok, she wasn't, but I tend to take a negative thing and make it positive...
Let me put it to you this way: I have the experience of my 33 year old self..with the stamina of a 17 year old. How's that?


ok..I'm not fat..I'm just naturally very boyant...




Posted by: Burner02

Todays food:
1) bowl and 1/2 ceral...was running late..all I had time for
2) home made pasta w/ lean beef. (I'm a pretty dam good cook of rbasic meals..I'm gonna make some girl happy some day..have I mentiopned I am dam near genius w/ a grill and make killer margaritas?)
3) Chinese food. (we usualy do a crew meal on our long week. ((I work 12 hour shifts, every other weekend we work fri - sun)) I will be eating my home cooked food the rest of the weekend)
4) protein bar
5) 2 chicken patties (after I got home, just needed a little something)

Posted by: shutupntra1n

Geee thanks hun. I am finding more women hit on me the bigger I get. This isn't helping Oh well. I'll just have to renew my Match.com account and search for a prince again

Posted by: shutupntra1n

I have met a few people over the years from it. It's not too bad. I am so picky though so it's good for me so I can filter out the wierdos or try to anyway. I actaully run into two problems a lot. I can filter out the guys who don't like my bb and my career choice. Those are the first two things that will ruine any potential date life with someone. I actually never get offers. What a waist of money

sure ... pick on the little guy. In Hedo, it was easy to be a highlight ... I was the only one in shape (once the models left). In Vegas at the O, or anywhere else for that matter, I revert to being unnoticed. What ... you lose 5lbs and you're WAY past me.

Hey gorgous! Nice to see you!
I actually just signed up for a leads program this afternoon, so we'll see. Not big bucks yet, but baby steps! I have to call this other realtor from our south office who has been in business for 31 years. He said he was looking for a buyer's agent. (I'd use his leads and close them. I'd give up 50% of the commission to him. I'd rather give him 50% of a commission then get 100% of nothing!)
Glad to see ya around! Tell Justin I said howdy!

Posted by: Burner02

jeez...too bad I can't post from work anymore....I've been here off and on for about 4 hours now...I haven't accomplished too many things productive, besides a few business calls, food and such. I don't know how I survive my job without this site!
I've spent 1/3 of a shift here! It went FAST!




Posted by: BabsieGirl

where's my post whore???



Posted by: naturaltan

Posted by: Burner02

doh!
shhhhh!



Posted by: Burner02

ok..went to the gym! WAHOO!
ok..to describe it in a nutshell it:
SUCKED!

I wasn't expecting too much though. I also made the misstake of getting on the scale. That wsa bad....
I am in the worse shap I have ever been in.
So.....things are chaning! one day at a time. I ahve hit my rock bottom, I'm back on my feet and moving forward.
I'm not even going to post the workout it wsa so bad. I am just going to go this whole week easy..and work back up to it.
oy.



Posted by: Burner02

howdy!
Ok...I did actually go to the gym on Saturday night! I didn't get a chance to do a full-on workout, as I was on shor time. I got in some pull downs and cable rows,a dn compound setted dips and cable curls and then another couple sets od rope extensions.
Why did I not have time? Well, I started back at the club last night! (that was after my 12 hour day) So, I got tothe gym, did m y thing, then went home adn took a 45 minute nap, then clean up and off to the club.
It was hectic! THer were some REALLY cool costumes. You should have seen all hte flesh! Jeez...instead of halloween, it should have been :ho-ween.
I got hit on a few times, which was good for my frail-manly ego..

One girl kept tryign to pull my shirt up..as I was frantically pull it back down!

Hey..I look farily decent in the shirts I wear, with my shoulders and chest...but the ol bread basket...we won't talk about that...it's coming down. Or it will!
I only had to remove one dumbass form the club. I swear, it felt as if I took about a ton of garbage out during the night!
I got to leave early, as I had to be back to work this morning. I was going to start back to the gym this evening...but I have one of those been awake too many hours and have had too much caffene hedaches. I stayed home and relaxxed as my temples throbbed, and now am off to bed. TOmorrow I have a class for 8 hours. I will go after that!
Have a great day!
mike



Posted by: naturaltan

b - halloween ... we got kicked out of the strip club because the group we were with were much more entertaining than the dancers on stage. .



Posted by: Burner02

Hey buddy!
now..what does that NOT suprise me!

Did y'all dress up?
U should have seen the costumes at the club!
Some guy had one of the 'ultimate' costumes I want! He had an exact replica Storm Trooper costume! It was sweet! Ironically, I was looking on the 'net that afternoon on how to find one. (old movie prop) well, I came across a site that shows how to make one. It was a really lengthy adn EXPENSIVE process. Plaster moolds, fiberglass resin..etc. I guess this guy also sells them. (you'd have to go in for the plaster fitting part, so it will be fitted to you. Can you say....$$$$$$$ !
I also want to get a 'Cylon' costume. Rememebr the TV show in the early 80's, Battlestar Galactica?
yeah...I want one of those..with the laser eye and voice synthesizer!




Posted by: naturaltan

yeah ... we were all dressed up. It was quite a fun though.

Now we are looking forward to Christmas. Having room to entertain is really a lot of fun. The couple who put on the Halloween party said it was hard to be next in line to host a party after the my bday party. Now ... we are hosting the New Years/Mrs.NT bday party. Not sure what we're going to do ... but people are expecting a Par-tay!



Posted by: Burner02

dam! and I need a road trip!
ACtually, my buddy I used to hang with in California wants to go to Cozumel! I may go on vacation yet!

Are there pics of this party? We wanna see the decorations!



Posted by: naturaltan

well ... I had the camera out, but it got crazy in a hurry ... so no pics are able to be shown

I'll see if any of the bday pics can be shown.



Posted by: Burner02

ah man...I wanna see some of thses hot canandians!
(I do have email, you know...)




Posted by: naturaltan

There were only a couple of cuties in the group that might be post-worthy ... but the pics I have of them are not suitable for posting on a public forum.

What you need to do is get on a plane, we'll meet you at some tropic resort, give Mrs. NT a few drinks ... and let the fun begin.



Posted by: Burner02

deal!
did I mention...I have email???

You have me cracking up with your comments hon!!

Lets see a picture from the gut up, with clothes on if that makes you feel better. Com'on pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze....

Okay B, 45min of sleep is not enough. You're going to wear yourself down and get sick. Are you taking vitamins and stuff?

Is there anyway you can go the gym before you go to work? That way, you already have your workout in and pumped for the day. After work, you can head off to your other job(s) with out stressing how you're going to fit the gym in. SEE!!!!! Organize it....

Okay. email me your bun basket......

Hey Babs!
No can do on the pre-work workout. I already have to wake up @ 0445 hours to be to work @ 0600. And I barely make that. (Yes, people actually look at teh clock when I show up. See, there is this 'policy' we have at work. If you are late, you havet o buy a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Trust me, I'd rather pay 6.00 something for that, then my hourly wage. U buy doughnuts, your 'sins' are absolved....I'm not always on time...)

They love me there. GO figure...

I might email u a pic of said bread basket. It will give you a good laugh...

Standing Barbell Curl:
65*10, 85*10, 85*10, 85*10

Bench Press:
4 * 225 * 7 – 8 (had some ass-clown spot me. I did not know the guy, and forgot to tell him how to spot…my mistake. Every friggin rep, I felt him pulling the weight. I even told him while I was lifting to stop helping…he spoke w/ an accent, (Spanish) so I am thinking he didn’t understand…distracted me enough that I didn’t fully get al the reps out I think I could have done.

Standing Alt. DB Curls:
3*35*8

Flat DB Flyes:
2*40*10

Hammer Curls:
2*30*10

***Was disappointed w/ Incline DB presses. But, was hoping that my weights were down a bit because of the extra intensity of compounding the workouts.

<post workout, next entry>

Friday:
BACK:

Dead Lift:
135*10, 225*10, 315*4, 315*4 

Compound set:
Tricep Extensions:

100*15, 150*10, 150*10

Cable Curls:
2*100*10 (did these purely for pump for working the club purposes…)

***I was REALLY switched ON for this workout! WHEW! While doing my lat raises, I think I even had a little spittle shoot out of my mouth…Watch out! Mad dog! MAD DOG! GGGRRRRLLLL!!!!!!

Working the club is getting me motivated again! Not just for the aesthetic reasons, but I want to get some size back and then add some for a little bit of an ‘intimidation factor’

<post workout, next entry>

Monday:
Slotted for: LEGS:

Friend called, her sister and brother in-law were involved in a head-on collision w/ a drunk driver. Was talking w/ her to calm her down. Her family was ok…spent night @ hospital for observation.

I actually did some tongight. I didn't want to do it. I didn't like it, and didn't do too much, but it was the start of a foundation for things to come.
Ok, some basic stats.
Name: 'Burner" aka:Mike
Age: 33
(almost 34..but according to ex..have the maturity of a 17 year old..so I have that going for me)
Status: Weak and fat
(afraid to tape and BF %. #'s are too high)

Known weights I can move:
Bench Press: 315lbs
Squat: 315 lbs
Dead Lift: 315lbs
Pull Ups: ? ( still afraid to add weight on account of tendons)
BB Curls: 105 lbs
Dips: 90lbs +BW
DB Shrugs: 120lbs
(basic starting place for overall strength of each muscle group)

Am depressed. Found a pic of me 2 years ago..looking 'decent'. It's gonna take a while to get back to that look then improve. See if I can post a pic of that:
Actually, here is a link to pics of me in Dec. '02. THis is what I want to get back to..then improve on...
http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/slusse.../ph//my_photos

Pretty damn handsome, eh?
<this is where you just give the gratuitous nod, thank you>
You have amazing eyes! Nice pics! So this is then..so where's now? Or did I miss them



Posted by: Velvet

Oh and good morning Mike



Posted by: Burner02

THose pics are from about two years bak to present. (the ones of me in the grey shorts...the <blech> pictures? That's me now. In a sense...I'm trying to 'run the rack'
I was faily decent looking...now am...ewll..how to say: Soft around the edges...moviing back to the first pics.

Hey RIS!

It deserves a proper farewell, you know? Let me see what I can do. hmmm...


Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
you know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own

And if de-elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

No no... no slamming, I know what you mean. He IS girly, or maybe not even girly, but androgynous in a way. But holy crap what an amazing musician/performer/entertainer. If you ever saw him live you would take that comment back in a heart beat. hahaha! Best concert(s) I've ever been to was Prince's.

Heh heh...I was actually 'singing along tothe lyrics..and doing a little dance in my chair too..
