In that case, I know where he is.

Burner: Glad you are feeling better. Get that fire going again

I'm stll working on my fire.

YM: Yeah, long delay

Then, they lost

TT and Misfit: 4 was the total. It's all I could justify spending. Or else.........

Posted by: Pylon

Trust me, after the last week, you can pile on all the relish you want on those dogs and not lose ground.

Posted by: Pylon

Heya BM -

got your message, but have been on the road. No, haven't talked to Archie, but I saw Fitty got an email from him, so sounds like everything is ok...

Posted by: Triple Threat

Boiler. Tigers finally made it. Let the second season begin.

Posted by: King Silverback

Hello BRother Boiler, hope all is well for you!!!

Guys and gals, I've been so bad. I don't know what to say except that I'm going to try again. I owe Pylon a decent competition anyway. Big odds on you, buddy.

An update, I've done nothing since my last fitness post. I'm such a hole in the ground. I weigh 10# more than when I started this last year. No rebel yell hear. I suck.

Posted by: boilermaker

Archie: Thanks brother! I hope all is well with you!

TT: Woud've been fun to give you $#%^^ during the Yanks/Tigs series. Sorry I let you down. I hope all is well for you and yours.

Tom: Thanks for thinking of me, buddy. Stay in touch. I may be back around, you know

Dead: Thanks so much. I went searching for my journal on page 3 to start. Little did I know that you had already called it up to the front page! I appreciate the concern. You are the best.

All, the photo that is my new avitar is one that I took off the back of my boat. It represents what I am steering for personally. Ironically, when I took the photo, I was going directly away from the light. Now I want to go right at the light and feel the calm of the water around it. Kinda sappy and stupid sounding, but it's a goal I need to strive towards and achieve...........

Posted by: Emma-Leigh

Hey stranger!

Don't beat yourself up pk - it will do you no good and it is not worth the effort...!! Just dust yourself off, jump back on and try again...

I love your new piccy! Very pretty - and a good message too (and not stupid at all!!

).

You staying around?! I miss talking to you...

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I love your new avy BM. That's pretty cool! I love pictures that come out at you AFTER you take them.

Love the avy!

Hope you're doing well!

Posted by: Double D

Hi BM how are you? Havent posted in a while huh?

Posted by: boilermaker

Hello All

Sorry I haven't been around in a while. I've been getting some help for my personal problem and it is going well. I also wrecked my ankle. It's black and blue from my foot to my knee. So, needless to say, I haven't been able to to any lower body or cardio as of late. I made a return to the gym today to knock the rust off..............

Upper Body - Push Dominant

Flat DB Bench: 45# - 10, 10, 10

Pec Deck: 87.5# - 10, 10

Assisted Dips: -40# 10, 8; -52# - 6

DB Lateral Raises: 10# - 10; 15# - 10

Tri Pushdown Machine: 50# - 10, 8

Tri Cable Pushdowns: 110# - 10, 10

I am suprised at how much I've lost over the months, but feel good about getting a workout in and my issues straightened out.

Weight: 203#

I'l try and stop in at all my friend's journals soon.

hi hon, I hope you are doing okay

Hi Billie. I'm alright. Just time to get some help for something I should have addressed long ago. Thanks for dropping in.

Posted by: Triple Threat

Good to see you back in the gym and hopefully all will go well outside of it.

Posted by: Burner02

what he said!..and something about having some beautiful, nekkid woman wiggle upon your face...
Hey BM!

Posted by: goandykid

Hope you feel better...told you about Michigan

Posted by: Emma-Leigh

STEVE!

You're back!

YAY!!

And YEAH for working out! WOO HOO!!

But

What did you do to your ankle!

I hope it isn't too painful?

Posted by: boilermaker

Trips: Good to hear from you. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm doing much better now.

Burner: Hey, now that could make my ankle feel better

Goandykid: Thanks. Yeah, we're looking at a HUGE game next weekend if they both take care of business. Didn't you tell me about the Redskins, too?

Hi Emma, how are you? I'll catch up on your journal soon. I just rolled my ankle over really hard because I stepped on the edge of a pothole. It swelled up like a softball and bruised something fierce all the way up my calf. It's getting a little better every day but it still hurts like heck.

I'm going away for a long weekend. But, don't worry, this time I am back

I'll check back in on Monday. Have a great weekend.

Haha, low blow about my skins, but did you see last week's game against the Cowboys? Mario Manningham is expected to go 100% this week so that he's ready for OSU. Bad luck for Purdue this go around, but atleast the BIG10 is looking dominant. First time since 1935 where two teams in the same conference have started off 10-0. Hope those cocky bastards over in the SEC hear that.

Posted by: Double D

You goin to be around long, or are you goin to be MIA again?

Posted by: boilermaker

Goandykid: The table is set for next Saturday. Biggest game in the Big Ten since maybe..........ever.

DD: Yeah, I'm back and hope to stick around this time. Thanks for stopping in.

Posted by: boilermaker

Well, I can never do anything the simple normal way. Most people roll their ankle and its an ankle sprain. Mine is a cracked tibia just below my knee. I'll know more tomorrow, but the x-ray tech said is was broken.

Is there some setting I need to adjust to show which threads I've already viewed? Each time I log in, it shows I haven't read any.

Posted by: Pylon

Cracked leg. Ouch. Condolences.

I haven't caught up on your journal. You making any gains in our little competition? I haven't thrown in the towell yet.

Yeah theyr alreayd calling it the game of the century, and if its close theres a possibility for a rematch in the national championship. If Florida had lsot like they should have on Saturday I could almost call it a certainty.

Yep. Speaking of overrated, USC is 3 again I think. Whats with the BCS fascination w/ the PAC10?

Posted by: goandykid

BCS TOP 10:
1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. USC
4. Florida
5. Notre Dame
6. Rutgers
7. Arkansas
8. West Virginia
9. Wisconsin
10. Louisville

Hopefully Cal beats USC this week, and Florida loses either of those two tough games. Hard to see ND at 5 after the stomping Michigan gave them, but they do have a game against USC left. If Rutgers can win out they have a legit shot at the winner of Michigan vs OSU, and maybe Arkansas or a WVU team that runs the table.

Either way, I don't think any other teams can come close to Michigan or OSU this year. On espn.com they have poll up, which rivalry is greater, duke vs unc or michigan vs OSU

Michigan vs OSU is up 10 or so percent, I thnk the whole world is stoked.

They'll never let UM and OSU rematch. Look how far Louisville fell off their loss to unbeaten Rutgers.

Posted by: goandykid

They said it's def a possibility. Michigan would probably have to win in a close game, overtime would help.

Michigan are so so so far ahead of all other teams in the BCS poll, and so close together

X-Ray read by radiologist says I definitely have a cracked Fibula just below the knee. This means I'll have to have a minor (they call it minor.....which I'd agree with if it was someone other than me having it) surgery where they will insert a screw through the Tibia and Fibula at my ankle to stabilize the fibula.

How I'll do cardio the next couple of months, I do not know. Suggestions?

Posted by: goandykid

Best of luck w/ the surgery. Swimming pool?

Arggg... Steve!!

I am so sorry to hear this!! Wow.... Crappy luck...

Hmmm... But a quick question - have you had your bone density tested?! Seems like such a little accident to cause a fracture!

Did the doctors give any indication as to how it might have happened so easily?

For cardio - firstly - your first concern should be RESTING and allowing your body to recover!!!

But - crutches are FANTASTIC cardio! And what about wheelchair racing?

Hee hee.. Seriously though... after the first few weeks you could try a recline bike pushing with only one leg... Swimming would also be ok after the surgery healed (and hydrotherapy would be brilliant for re-hab!!)... Rowing or the 'arm bike thing' could be good... And, if you have access to it, kayaking may be a fantastic option too...

Will you be able to walk or put pressure on the foot? If so, something like an elliptical machine, bike, or just walking. Anything low impact.

Emma, it didn't happen easily. My ankle completely rolled outward, tearing ligaments and causing the Fibula to crack at the top where it is most securely connected. No bone density issues.

I'll have to see what the doc allows me to do. I think he wants it in a cast, but that won't fly for the work I do. I'm hoping to settle for a walking boot.

Not sure yet, TT. I'll keep you posted. I think I recall GW doing clean cardio. Maybe something along those lines. Maybe I can invent something new

Then I could have my own infomercial and get rich!

Posted by: yellowmoomba

Bummer BM!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can use an "arm bike" or you can use a stair master with your arms rather then with your legs (it's very tough).

Posted by: Pylon

Guh. Sorry to hear about it BM. When are they cutting you?

Posted by: Burner02

Hey Steve! What the hell were you thinking? You and I were supposed to be the 'comeback kids!'
Hope you are doing better!

Posted by: boilermaker

YM: Yikes, a stairmaster with my arms. I can't even picture it. I'll figure something out.

PY: Thanks. I'm going for a second opinion tomorrow at 8 a.m. I don't want surgery unless it is absolutely necessary. Know more tomorrow.

DD: Yeah, you are right. I'm trying to get back on track. injured or not

I always had other issues before, which I hope are cleared up now.

Burner: WE CAN DO IT!!!!

Posted by: boilermaker

Got some great news today. I went for a second opinion on my ankle. The doc took some more x-rays, one under tension and then we did a CT scan. He showed me that the bone was healing properly, was in the joint like it should be and was properly aligned. No surgery or bulky cast. I have to baby it for a few weeks and take another x-ray the Monday after turkey day, but I can handle that.

Posted by: King Silverback

That is AWESOME news my Friend!!! Take extra care of it!!!

Posted by: Triple Threat

Any time you can avoid surgery it's good.

My ankle is healed and my life is back on track! I'll be back in the gym this week. Starting with push/pull/legs again. I hope you all have been doing great. I'll have to work at getting caught up.

Posted by: boilermaker

Off to the gym to renew my membership and get in a workout! This one is going to really hurt.

Posted by: boilermaker

I have to travel to Milwaukee Wednesday throuhgh Friday. So, I decided I'd be best off doing a full body type workout and then doing cardio and core stuff in Milwaukee

Seated Leg Press: 3 x 10

Flat DB Press: 3 x 10

Assisted Dips 2 x 10

Assisted Pullups: 2 x 10

Went with light weights today.

I still have to be careful with direct loads on my ankle, so no deadlifts or squats for a month. Felt good to be back. Lost strenght on most things. To be expected I guess.

Posted by: goandykid

Welcome back...I almost disappeared too after those BCS bowls. Good to hear on your ankle.

Posted by: King Silverback

Great return, you'll be right back before ya know it!!! Keep at it and be careful!!! Best Wishes my Friend!!!

Posted by: Double D

Hey post those weights. Dont be shy.

How you feelin today my Friend??? Keep on doin it Brother Boiler!!!

Posted by: boilermaker

Greetings from Kenosha, WI. Here til Friday for some valve training. Going to do Cardio in the morning.

Archie: It hurts today. But it's a good kind of hurt. I think it is going to be a lot worse tomorrow.

How come when I log off and come back on, all the threads go back to showing as unread? Anyone else have this problem?

Posted by: Double D

Yes I have that problem as well. I guess they figure they are all seen?

Posted by: Emma-Leigh

Hey Steve!

Posted by: boilermaker

YM: Good to see you. It's freakin' cold here, isn't it. Go Bears, I guess.

Great to see you! Hope things are well.

Posted by: Pylon

Posted by: boilermaker

Archie: Thanks for the encouragement!

WOW! Am I ever sore today. Holy cow, I haven't hurt this good in a long time. No cardio today. Life got in the way. Tomorrow will be upper body - pull. Hope everyone is well.

Posted by: Emma-Leigh

Yay for soreness!

Don't you just love the feeling of not being able to poke yourself without it hurting!

Good to see you back at it Steve!

Actually, it is good

Had a long day today. Drove to Cleveland and back for work. Missed my workout. That's alright though, I'll get it in tomorrow and then legs on Friday. My diet sucks. Hard to get that back on track. To the grocery store tomorrow!

I go once a week. Who knows, maybe our schedules will clash. Food groove needs to get ON! You speak wisely.

Fab. We are going to fly in on a Friday morning, probably hit the R&R HOF, a game at the Jake, then north to Cooperstown for the HOF induction ceremony. If you know any decent cheap hotels near the Jake (or within an hour or so north on hwy 90) I looking for ideas. A decent place for a frosty beverage near the stadium would also be welcome.

thought it was open until 11, but it closes at 10. Was planning on finishing with deadlifts ss w/ cable woodchoppers. Still can't do calf raises because of my formerly broken ankle which is still sore and standing up on the balls of my feet is the most painful thing for it. Off to Cleveland in the a.m. I really need to start doing cardio this week. And eating better.

Posted by: b_reed23

still have nice wights on leg presses!!

Posted by: boilermaker

Billie! Thanks for stopping in and giving me a boost.

Stranded in Toledo, OH tonight. Snow, snow, snow, snow.

Hotel has a treadmill and bike, so I'll hit one of them this evening and maybe again in the morning. Supposed to go to GR with my wife for valentines day. Charlies Crab, a seafood delight. Hope we can make it. Weather forecast doesn't look good.

Trips: Great to see you!

Doms: Yes, it sure is about time.

Well, I've managed to develop diabetes since i was last here. So this workout and diet thing isn't really a luxury of choice anymore. If I don't get my weight and blood sugar down I'll be on meds. I don't want that. So here we go again.

11/1/07 Upper Body - Push (to knock the rust off)

8 minutes warmup on bike

Flat DB Press: 25# - 10; 45# - 10, 10, 10

Pec Deck: 90# - 8, 8, 8

Tri-Pushdown Machine: 45# - 10, 10

DB Lateral Raises: 10# - 10; 15# - 10, 7

Assisted Dips: -80# - 10; -60# - 10

Tricep Cable Pushdowns: 60# - 10, 10

Man, it's not alot but I bet I'm gonna be sore. I should probably start posting diet again too. It needs a lot of work.
