In the case of

, quickness isn't always a good thing. I'm guessing a woman as lovely as Leslie would prefer a man with stamina.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Albob, falling asleep has never been considered stamina.

Posted by: ALBOB

SHHHHHHHH .......................Jeeze man, ya' trying to ruin me? Here I've got all these women drooling over the prospect of spending an enchanted evening with Mr. Allnight ALBOB and you gotta go and give away my secret? Come on, you've got three on the hook right now, can't you at least support me with ONE???

Leslie, ignore him. He knows not of which he speaks. Trust me, I'll be there for you..............ALL NIGHT!

Posted by: Twin Peak

I would have, but not after seeing that avatar!

Posted by: ALBOB

Unfortunately I can't agrue one bit with your logic. That picture is nothing short of amazing.

Posted by: craig777

You two, all you ever think of is sex, now Leslie take me I care about relationships, and creating a deep friendship. I love to talk, but I love to listen to what you have to say even more. I value your opinion and what you have to say. I love dogs very much and will always take care of you. Now don't you want to come with me and let those two fight it out.

Well I am glad that I could make you two beautiful ladies laugh, and I did it at Albob's expense. It just doesn't get any better than this.

See ladies, would you prefer a kind hearted, reliable person like me over someone who takes advantage of his friends, like Craig.

I don't know Alboob... I'd still lean towards TP, then Craig, then Screamin, then NT, then PB, etc.... then you...

I'm going to go over here and lick my wounds now.

I'm comforted by the fact that it took four of you to out smart me though.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Not really, I think I did that about 2 pages ago....

and didja notice who was FIRST on that list....achem....

Posted by: craig777

Hey, if a lady as beautiful as butterfly puts me second, I'm a happy camper.

but did you notice that Fade wasn't on the list

TP, I think you are going to move down to second

I worked Back and Bis last night, and I did 4 sets of Box squats. I only used 115lbs but I did 4 sets of 10 w/no pain.

Posted by: ALBOB

Are you icing down your knee after you're done doing squats. That's should help reduce the inflamation.

Posted by: craig777

I iced it down for about a week after I did it. Now I am taking Naproxen to reduce the inflamation. I am not real good about taking it, when I do it works and my knee feels great, when I don't it swells up a little. I have been very good at taking it this week. So even after squats last night my knee feels good right now.

Posted by: ALBOB

Cool.

P.S. Looking at w8lifter's butt is great but, how long do we have to stare at your ugly buns?

Posted by: craig777

I know I haven't had time to post much, but I am leaving on travel today to beautiful Kokomo IN for the next three days

Posted by: lina

Hey Craigy! How goes it? Have fun on your vaca! You going with the whole family?

Posted by: craig777

Wish it was a vacation, business trip. I am going to Delphi Electronics in Kokomo IN. The guy I am working with in the other division set up our travel and we aren't leaving until 3:18 pm today and won't get to Kokomo until about 10:00 pm tonight and then get up tomorrow morning. I work as hard as the next guy but working all day and flying all night I really don't understand

I am doing good, my knee is coming along although slowly.

Posted by: lina

Sorry to hear, yes that sucks... how many hours fligh is that? TX to IN isn't that far????? Yeah by the time you get to the hotel from the airport it would be late.... ouch don't mean to rub it in! So what cha gonna eat while away? Any plans?

How did you get your knee injured? Did your PT cause you your pain?

Well at least it's getting better!

Posted by: craig777

We leave San Antonio at 3:18 and get to Indianapolis at 8:00 pm this evening. Then we get our luggage and the car and drive to Kokomo.

No plans on the eating, I am pretty much at the mercy of the guy with the car. I hate traveling on business.

Yes, she had me flipping 500lb tractor tires and I believe I tore my Medial Menisus. I had an MRI done last week and will know next week exactly what I did.

Posted by: lina

Oh Craigy! How awful about your knee!!!!! That is terrible! I feel for you! Take care of it.... don't rush to go back working out ....

flipping tractor tires huh? Gosh she has a thing for machinery doesn't she?

Bout eating while away... maybe some RTD protein shakes? bars... I know they are not the optimum but in such a case better than Mc D's!?

Posted by: craig777

I was thinking about getting some protein bars, I am not wild about them but you are right about better than Mc Ds.

Posted by: lina

Well atleast, Mc D's chicken ceasar isn't soo bad... with maybe an extra grill mc chicken (naked...

no bread, etc.)

Posted by: craig777

You eat your grilled McChicken naked. Wow I would love to see that

Nope haven't finished the kitchen yet, because the little missus done spent all our money on other things. Don't want to get further in debt.

Sure sugar you can play bounce whenever you want.

Give em a squeeze.

Oh she doesn't like it when I'm away on business

Posted by: esmerelda

I dont know about you but there is something about hotelrooms that just brings out the naughtiness in me!!!!!!!!

I am not sure when I will take more pics. I took some to finish the Albob Challenge. What do you mean by see "more", I can't show too much more. I don't have a digital camera, and I was posing with nothing on for my wife before we took the last pics. Well she went and snapped a picture of me naked. The photo place didn't give that picture back. I just know that some girl was developing those pics of me

Posted by: esmerelda

LMAO.......and you thought we were bad!!! I can just see this young thang...with a secret stash of naughty pics hidden in her office.......

Posted by: craig777

I guess as long as she isn't repulsed by it. My wife laughed and laughed, she thought it was hilarious.

Posted by: esmerelda

When???? While she was taking the pic..or when you discovered that the pic wasnt there?!!!

Originally posted by esmerelda

When we got the pics back and it wasn't there. Now if I had taken a pic of her like that I would be in the dog house for 10 years, if not longer.

Have to go, be back on Friday. Take care

Long, this guy that I went with works from early in the morning until late at night. He expects me to do that also. I will put in extra hours when on travel because there is nothing else to do, but when I am home I have a family and wife, and other things that are important to me.

I just hate traveling on business anyways. I know that some people think it would be fun, but after the 100th time it gets old. My longest stay on business was 3 weeks, and I was really ready to go home.

Jill leaves today for Malaysia to compete in the World's Strongest Woman competition. The competition is the 20th - 24th of September. I hope she takes it for the US again, and also for her.

Posted by: Leslie

Morning Craig! are you still training with Jill? How many times a week do you train with her?

Posted by: craig777

I train with her twice a week, and my wife goes twice a week. That is $120 a week, that is all I can afford. I can tell that I am really putting on some mass, I got a comment from the owner of Olympic gym that I was really getting a lot bigger, but all the credit really goes to my trainer. I said what

all Jill does is tells me what to do, I'm the one that has to do it. My sister, and brother in law made a comment on Sunday about how huge I am getting. I weigh about 220 now with a 34 inch waist.

Something I have been kicking around in my head is that Olympic gym here is for sale. I wonder if I could get a business loan and make it better. It has the name right now, but the owner charges $40 a month. I think that is way way too high. It is just a powerlifting gym, not very big. Is that just a big headache that I don't want.

Good morning beautiful

Posted by: Leslie

Hey if you think its a good investnment DO IT!! Me and my BF always wanted to open a gym. But we don't have the capital

Gee $140 a week is a lot of MOOLAH!! I could nevr afford that! But at least you are gettign great results! How is the wife coming a long?

Posted by: craig777

She says that she can tell her muscle tone is improving, but her eating stinks. Jill talked to her about that last week. I make all her meals, but many times she won't eat them, and her friend at work gets her to go out and eat at restaurants.

Posted by: Leslie

I have come to realize eatting is everything!! You make all her meals??!! Will you marry me? LOL Your wife sounds liek my BF! I make all his meals fro the day and he usually ends up going out for lunch and gettign a burrito(carb heaven) or subway! He has been better though

I bet we could start a thread on knee injuries.

Posted by: Fade

My knees are doing pretty good. My hips are starting to bug me though.

Degenerative arthritis runs in my family.

Posted by: craig777

I know what you mean, that scares me since my dad is a mess. I read that once you do this it is almost assured to get arthritis.

No sweetie, it made my day, but I'll take another anytime. You are precious.

Posted by: craig777

There is a focal 5 mm diameter full thickness defect in the cartilage of the weight bearing surface of the medial femoral condyle posteriorly. There is edema in the underlying bone marrow. There is Grade II-III chondromalacia in the remainder of the medial compartment. There is an abnormal shape of the medial meniscus with flattening of the superior surface of the posterior horn. There is degenerative increased signal within the substance of the posterior horn of the meniscus. The lateral meniscus is intact. The ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL are intact.

There is Grade II chondromalacia in the lateral facet of the patellofemoral joint.

Posted by: craig777

OK now in english.

I messed up my knee

Ok what I did. The rear of my medial meniscus has worn away through the years and has become very thin. Doing very deep knee movements puts pressure on the rear of the medial meniscus. When I did a very deep squat to get my fingers under the tire I was putting a lot of pressure on this thin rear medial meniscus, and when I exploded up with 500 extra pounds I tore the rear, or horn, of my medial meniscus.

My options

Anti-inflamatories
Knee brace when working out to shift pressure to lateral meniscus

That is option 1

Arthroscopy and injection of steroids into my knee

That is option 2

Arthroscopy, injection, he will grind down the bone to make it smooth where the bone and cartilage come together and inject a gel into my knee.

That is option 3

I like option 1 the best

Posted by: Leslie

See, that sounded real gross, but it isn't too bad! Stick with the knee wrap for now- if it gets worst, you can always get the inhections

Morning

hmmm.... steroids? Does it make your muscle grow too? What bout competition time? If you are competing natural, with that have any effect?

Originally posted by craig777

O Man Craig..

just my opinion but I would go with option 1 to begin with.. option 3 would be a last resort though once they get invasive its not usually a tremedeously productive thing.. its like a domino effect .. ( then again I am a labor and delivery Nurse LOL )

anyway honey I sure hope that you can progress with out progressive pain.. HUGS

I don't believe so, it would be just one shot. I don't believe it is the same steroids the bodybuilders use.

Working too hard eh?

Hope your knee is bettah and that Jill is not picking on you too much

Posted by: esmerelda

The work thing is a horror Craig......but if you need any help with the knee movements......and Jill isnt interested......Im sure I could arrange a roster of the Ladies from IM to come over and assist!!!!

Posted by: craig777

Boy, I got some gorgeous ladies posting in here. I have been working 12 hours a day with Toyota trying to get the 2004 model vehicles into production. They start production in January.

Still working with Jill, current stats

224lbs, still wearing my 34 inch waist pants. I was 214 at the end of the Alboob challenge at the end of July.

Squat last night

225lbs 10 reps
250lbs 6 reps185lbs 12 reps

Bench press last workout

205lbs 10reps

Dead lift last time

365lbs 6reps

I don't ever try 1rm.

Don't know if any of you ever watch World's strongest man/woman, but the American Johnny Perry who came in 3rd this year in Malaysia last September died last week in his sleep from a heart attack. He was 6'5" and weighed almost 400 lbs and was pumping his body full of drugs. He was 28 years old.

Posted by: ALBOB

Lot's of good info there buddy but you neglected the most important part, how's the knee. I'm not doing squats yet but have come around pretty well. I'm down to just a Neoprene sleeve that I wear during workouts or any type of physical activity. If I know I'll be walking a lot during the day I'll also slip it on. The doc's pissed that I'm doing so much but I figure, if I'm not in pain then what's the harm?

Posted by: craig777

Hey Alboob,

How is it going there buddy.

The knee is good and bad

I can squat, leg press, even push my F350 across the parking lot, but I can't do any jarring movements like running or kick boxing. I tried to run 2 weeks ago and it hurt a lot. I will have to figure out another cardio when I start doing cardio again. I am going skiing in less than a month and I am worried that I won't be able to ski anymore. I have a huge brace for my knee that has metal hinges for support. It looks very cumbersome but isn't too bad. I am going to try skiing with that.

Maybe I just need to take Leslie along as my ski bunny and I can play on her slopes instead of skiing

Well the older stepson leaves for the Air Force in exactly 1 month. It has been so nice with him out of the house. We had world war 3 with the younger step son two nights ago. Here we go again

I wish I could post more but I am working on a report for Toyota and I have to work on that Microsoft Virus operating system called Windows. For some reason it won't let me post when I am running under Windows. I have to boot Linux to be able to post, and I can't do that right now. The report has to be done this week, so maybe next week. Don't know, the final release of the software is mid January.
Did legs last night with Jill

How about it Leslie, you want to be a ski bunny

Posted by: Leslie

You are lucky I love ya

I dont wanna be a ski bunny, I wanna be a playboy bunny

LOL

I dont think skiing will be a good thing for you

BE CAREFUL!! I nearly broke my ass trying to ski. What a dangerous, life threatening sport!! It was fun, but I made an ass outta myself on numerous occasions

LOL

BTW, you should be able to do the eliptcal/preocr for cardio! Non impact in the joints

BTW, you should be able to do the eliptcal/preocr for cardio! Non impact in the joints

Hey you can call yourself whatever you want to

I am a pretty good skier, lucky for me I don't like the moguls. I like going down the groomed blues and blacks very very fast. Wahoo

I will take it easy, I promise

Yes, I will have to use the Precor eliptical. I actually like it very much, although it is not as fun as doing a kick boxing class.

I hope that my work eases up next week

I can squat, leg press, even push my F350 across the parking lot,

WHY are you pushing your truck instead of driving it???

I will have to figure out another cardio when I start doing cardio again.

Spinning

Maybe I just need to take Leslie along as my ski bunny and I can play on her slopes instead of skiing

Nice to see your knee problems haven't caused brain damage.

Well the older stepson leaves for the Air Force in exactly 1 month.

Hmmm........One month until he leaves, six weeks of Basic Training, eight weeks of Technical School.........That only leaves me one month to kick his ass before I retire. I usually like to take my time and enjoy it but in his case I'll make an acception.

HOLY CRAP It's alive!!!

Happy camper, eh Craig?

Oh you had better believe it.

Think he'll make it through? If I remember correctly you said he had a guaranteed job of Law Enforcement, still true? If he makes it all the way through Tech School you'll see a completely different person. If you or the wife are up to it, (and I know the little shit doesn't deserve it right now) send him lots of letters of encouragement, it'll keep him motivated and feeling less isolated. You want to do everything in your power to make sure he does NOT get kicked out and right back into your laps.

I sure hope he makes it through. Yep, he is still going to be Security Police. That will be hard to send him letters of encouragement, but I think we can manage. It was funny, my wife didn't even want him at our house for Christmas because he was being a jerk, but when he left on Tuesday for the Air Force she cried and cried. I partied.

Tell me it is very very hard to get kicked out.

Since we're in such desperate need of folks in that career field it is more difficult to get kicked out than it used to be but still, it's a career field where we don't want losers or degenerates. He's gonna have to get his shit together or it's "Adios amigos".

Thanks Essie, yep I was a very happy camper on Tuesday.

Well lets hope the shyte makes it thru........if not...ever thought of making him join the Foreign Legion???????

When we thought he couldn't get into the Air Force, I suggested Army or Marines. Although I kept thinking if they would take Albob they would take anyone.

Oh, I got back from skiing on Monday. I was doing the black runs so my knee isn't doing too bad. I did feel it a little.
