Sounds nice. The hot tub (well, it's more like a warm tub, but still..) is out of service for the next month at my gym while to perform "legally mandated safety upgrades." Bollocks.

I am just getting my hot tub going again. Its going to be nice to hop in that sucker after some tough workouts!

10 minutes to warmup plus about 35-40 minutes of weights. All RIs are about 60 seconds.....some end up being about 90.
No BSing today with anyone. |

sick workouts YM
playing much basketball lately? |
|
When the tub on your deck - which looks out to the lake - it's easy to find time

True-dat...
My heater is broken to mine, and a new one is $2800... The pool doesn't need it, but the hot tub would be nice. So I have to slave in the one at the gym, or eat it. - ![]() Hmmm, if I had that working, I could post on IM all night WIFI, from the tub! - ![]() |

.. adding one rep per week|
Do you ever use the foam roller prior to your workout? I find it helpful on the lower back prior to squatting or DLing.

I do four then rest about 20 seconds then do four on the other side.

So YM... are you ready for some CF football?! I am getting pumped... My guys play Navy, then the next week (gulp) play USC in Columbus. They lost Sanchez, but USC always seems to re-load at QB.
|

Hey moomba!
How far do you dip down to do he push press? Just break the knees a couple inches or more? |
I graduated with a class of over 400 people. Since 1989 I have only seen about 50-60 people so it will be interesting to catchup and actually remember the others. I'm going solo since my wife would be bored to tears when we start reminiscing about playing football/basketball or the parties or the whatever good times we had as teenagers.
|
Thanks....practice makes perfect. I'm sure you could do them if you worked at it.

I have my 20 year high school reunion tomorrow night. It should be a lot of fun. I don't think I have changed too much except for adding about 35 lbs of muscle and 5 lbs of fat

I'm playing as much as I can. I played both Saturday and Sunday last week. I wanted to play today but my wife just got done running 10 miles this morning so I won't have time to go today. I am going to ball tomorrow morning at 8:30AM
|
|
Just saw your post.....I must have missed it earlier this week.
![]() ..I wish the presses were standing....Those were on a bench. I think the most I've done with a one armed standing db press was 80's. |
|
Oh yeah..............We play Western Michigan, then Notre Dame, then Eastern Michigan and Indiana all at home. I will be at all those games.
9/12 Will be a fun day UM vs ND and OSU vs USC |

|
Is that a shot at me for missing workouts?
![]() (If so, totally deserved. ) |
|
I miss playing so much. I usually play with a couple a buddies, only 3 total actually, haha. we play a game called St. Mary's, some people call it 21, have you heard of it?
it's been so hot here lately that I wouldn't want to play anyway! it's been 35+ degrees (95+ for those of you below the border) for the past week! nice looking workouts YM, DB snatches are |

No way YM would be that! - (How hot does it get in canadia?) |

I was out until 4AM.

|
I can only do 2 at a time. It takes an incredible kip and momentum.
|
|
So far ... so good. I'm coming home tomorrow. I had some great meetings and checked out many of our business units.
|
|
Did you get/have you ever checked out the hockey HOF there? If not, I highly recommend it. Even if you aren't a big hockey fan, the place is really cool.

What the hell is a workork, I'm not sure
.By chance, did you see Chris (Beanie) Wells debut at running back for the Cardinals? Ohio State guy does good. The Cardinals looked pathetic overall, but Wells looked great. He lost 22 lbs working out in the off season. He is faster, and cuts better then ever. |
* probably could have got 130 today but not 135 (my previous PB)|
Weighted Chins
BW +45 x 5 BW +100 x 1 BW +115 x 1 BW +125 x 1 * probably could have got 130 today but not 135 (my previous PB)BW +45 x 11 |
|
grrrr, indeed, sir!
Keep that up and you won't be able to walk straight thru a doorway! ![]() |

|
next time you do chins, just grab one of the hot chicks on the treadmills and let them jump on your back and then do your chinups...it's a heck of a lot easier than loading all those plates on a belt you know
![]() then you can bench her like nick cage does in that movie ![]() |

were you feeling ok yesterday YM? This is a very nonchalant workout for you, everything ok?
![]() |
Just one of those boring workouts. No PBs or "teeth".....I was supposed to go today to Squat but we did a family day at the Zoo. I'm on vacation today until 9/14/09. Look's like I won't be back at the gym until Sunday.
I think I needed a few days off anyway. I'm tailgating tomorrow in Ann Arbor for the U/M game. It will be an all day party
Thanks Jersey
Daddy = No tailgating = HIT WORKOUT
|
IMO - ND equals overrated. However Blue will have a shit load of work to do.
|
|
What a sissy, missed by an inch.....haha Id love to miss by and inch!
|
|
All good, pain lasted about 1.5 weeks. Can't tell the difference now.
|
|
Good to hear
|

|
You are correct you don't
![]() Actually it is doing good. Still not 100% after shoulder surgery last october, but improving all the time. Far from any PR's....very far, if I even come close again. |
|
Why don't you have a journal here?
That is a long recovery ....... I'm sure you'll get some new PR's. It just takes time and dedication. I've recovered from two torn achilles, broken leg twice, shoulder surgery, hernia surgery, broken collerbone, torn hamstring, torn ligaments in my ankle, dislocated knee and a boat load of other minor injuries. |
|
No reason really. I think about starting one every so often.
Shit man, quite the rap sheet there. LOL Had a torn Labrum, required to anchors to re-attach. Was told it would be over a year to be 100%. The big thing right now is ROM, I am about 95%. I really have to cut back on bench, and behind the back squats aggravate things. But I am extremely happy with my progress, and glad I had the operation, so I can throw a ball without the feeling of my shoulder dislocating. |
Good to hear you are almost fully recovered. |
NICE victory, great game. Your freshman QB looks to be a stud.
Note the time I posted this.... Hope my guys do as well. |
|
Take a day and work on your kipping. I did that and all of a sudden I could get 1. I was kinda all over the place with my kipping until I took the time with working on it.
|

I'm surprised this workout went so well. It must have been the 3 brats, 1 Jumbo hotdog, multiple beers, mulitple Vodka & Tonics and all day and night tailgating I did yesterday. I left home at 9:30 AM and got home at midnight..........

I get the feeling this year's OSU/Michigan game is going to be something special. |

3 nutmegs (which is where you dribble between your defenders legs.

wow...you've got strength...you've got speed! You're just like Rocky Balboa!
You haven't seen Bolt? Bet you'll like it as much as the kiddos do... |

Nope................

Looking good buddy. I assume you did your chins and rested each set and went back? Normally you just shoot right threw it.

I ran a 5K this morning with my wife. The race ended on the 50 Yr line at the Big House. So I got to run out of the tunnel (That was cool!!) |
