Thanks all- Just annoyed...that whole visualize the weights going up...just wasn't working.

We were attacked again last night.
I guess 3 dumbasses RPG'd a tower, (nobody hurt: American/Coalition) and then found out what it was like to recieve incoming from a 50 cal. and several M-16's.
3 less tangos.
All we could do...was to go to the bunkers again. I HATE that!
Im a 'go to the wire' kind of guy...not sit back and let other people do it.
I stand by my word that I really do not wish harm or malice on any body....but that being said...these sick animals that are ignorant and only have hate in their heart...and most of them probably don't really even know why...just that they were told to by their elders...need to go away.

Posted by: Burner02

Here's a little nugget:
Was just talking w/ a friend/customer. She was asking my upcoming vacation, so I was obliged to tell her. In great detail.
Walking up and down the Champs De Ellese (sp), drinking coffee or wine at a cafe while people walk by.
Maybe spit off the Eiffel Tower...I don't know. My options are open.
Anywhoo...as she was leaving, she said and I quote:
Be safe; have fun.
Really? Be safe and yet...have fun?
Something's amiss.
You can have one or the other; but not both simultaneously. You have to choose one!
Cause...if you have fun...there may be a chance of bail money coming involved.
If you choose safe...well, there will never be any of those stories to tell the grand children...(then there was the Paris Incident of '09...where your old grand dad was curtly taken to the airport and banned from France for life and set back international relations at least 10 years...)provided I ever get married and have a child...but let's not put the horse before the cart, so to speak.
Speaking of children and this is a true story. As Dustin Hoffman said in the movie: Hook: "Why lie, when telling the truth is so much fun!"
I was 27 at the time. Young, daring, dashing and dare I say...a little dangerous to the virtues of the unsuspecting women population at the time. My dear saintly mother asked me one sunny day: "When are you going to make me a grand mother?"
WHOA!
Of course, not to miss a beat, my reply was:
"well, its Thursday, which means it wet t-shirt night somewhere....how about...9 months from...tomorrow?
"NO!" I mean the old fashioned way!"
"Well, mother...THAT'S what I had in mind."
That day has pretty much curbed that line of questioning...
Hmmm...will I ever get married? Will I ever have kids of my own? Tune in! (Hope you have the BIG tub of pop corn and soda, 'cause it may still be a while...

Todays workout will file under: At least I went..

17 Sep 09

Standing BB Mil Press:
Bar *15, 65*10, 4 sets @ 95*6...

WTF????!!!!????

Squats:
135*10, 4 sets of 185*10 Deep Squats.

WG Pull Ups:
*10, *8, 3 sets of *6 = 36

** Time
*** Did a hybrid. Try to get caught up. Don't know what was the deal with the mil presses. Those SHOULD have been sets of 10. VERY disappointed. Kept RI's as close as I could. As soon as I got my breath back and lactic subsides, hit it again.
Same with Squats. Weight wasn't all that much, but as soon as breathing went close to normal, hit next set. Was sorried about last set..was feeling a little pukey...
** Still have not done direct bis/tris training in a while now. Might make it back tonight. Gotta get back on the track.
** If can make it to gym tomorrow, will do another hybrid to get body all caught up again.

Hey bud!
Thanks- the workouts are fine, I think...for what I can accomplish, its just getting there. Its always gonna be: mission first. If can't leave the desk...then good chance not gonna make it.
However, we are about complete with our change over. (old brigade leaving AOR and new brigade is in place)
So, gym isn't as busy at night...might be able to make up lost workouts then.

Nice deads Mike! Curious, why do you do the higher rep warm ups?

Posted by: Burner02

I just want to make sure all is warmed up n ready to go...and what I've done for as long as I can remember, to be honest...

4 days and wake up!
Will be 'off the grid' from 2 October - 19 October

Posted by: Burner02

dam....I had another post in here...its now gone! Stupid network! Now I forgot what I had put in...must not have been all that important...

Posted by: Burner02

Ok...see if this one doesn't get lost...
I'm gonna have to double down whenI get back from vacation.
I like the 'planes' workouts.
I did just chest the other day, and it felt..odd..and I've been doing versions of that workout for years..now its off?

I get back on the 18th, so the 19th, I start back to the gym. Will probably do planes again till end of month.
Even though I just said not wild about 1BP per WO, I am gonna do that for a month while on my 'cycle'. hit it hard, heavy w/ low reps. 5*5-ish.
Followed by 2 months of 'planes' sets of 10-12 1 minute RI's.
Will cycle that 3 times. That will take 9 months.

Also will have to quadruple my efforts on cardio....blech. Don't like it. Need it.
Spoke w/ a guy who lives in same row I do who boxes. Said that I can go and work the bag with him.
(I have the very basics down...but don't know enough...)
Some instruction...workouts will be of great benefit.
I've always been 'heavy' on my feet.
I'm going home in May for another break. Want to have this 40 lbs OFF!!!! By then.
At least 20 of it gone by Jan/Feb...if I do that Thailand trip.

Already putting out resumes to contacts for year 2+ here. There are folks that do what I do for twice my income. Ol Mike here wants to ride THAT train...

Gosh...what can I do with all toys paid for...NO bills and a couple hundred + grand in the bank....

So, that's where I'm 'at' right now.
More of a rant written out.

You know when I add someone on facebook, they give me suggestion if any of my friends "knows" the new person I am adding? and send them a request
well, I sent him a suggestion, and he still didnt accept you?

Thanks for the compliments. Actually, on a different machine, I USED to be able to do closer to 800, I think. I'd Have to go back to about...2002. oi...I'm getting old!

I walked two miles last night. Legs are OWIE!!!!! This morning!
Outter quads. That's it. nothing else in my legs hurt....
Lower back is sore from deads....but that's it.

My bag is packed! I took a few things out, put a couple things in: shorts, t-shirts to do at least cardio on the ship....I read that average person gains 10 lbs on a cruise..and I am of course..not average...

SO will hopefully NOT gain 10 lbs.....

one more day of work..wake up...jump on a plane...and start the clock to my needing to go to confession....

Perhaps he'll do some

Definitely he's

And there's always time for

And when all is said and done, he'll be

hey bud! Thanks!
Well...I'm hoping I'm not topping out w/ the 225??? it just seems so heavy now...very annoying. I'm gonna keep my 'planes' workouts till end of month, then go back on my supps and go heavy, one BP per day for the next 6 weeks then back to planes and/or whole body, fast workouts...see if the strength goes up again...

Its my biceps that give me fits. Both of them. This whole getting older things is seriously over rated.

No romance on my trip.

I dunno what it is....couldn't even get a cute Euro woman to look in my general direction. Maybe I need to change my cologne?

So...except for the no romance...had a great time. I evidently took over 500 pics. Just downloaded onto pc last night. will take about a decade to upload them...

You could try Push Presses. You can use a lot of weight AND it works your core at the same time

Hey mommba-
No...I'm just saing I"m probably gonna have to cut out BD mil presses...at least heavy ones...getting the weight from leg up to ready position kills my tendons...will stick with BB presses...both press and push press. Mayby light DB arnolds as a finishing move...

Posted by: Archangel

Arnolds DESTROY my cuff unfortunatly!!! Great w/o Burner, take care with the injury..... Best wishes my Friend!!!

The 1st rep went well. the 2nd...got about 1/2 up...then stalled. For a moment I thought it would start coming back down. The spotter saw this and put his hands out to catch it...which...pissed me off and I was able to muster the strength to finish the rep.

..actually I thought the rows are starting to come around. I had to do the 'cheat jerk' a little to get my reps out instead of my smooth motion, but I tried to keep the down rep under control and slow..

My life sux.
Evidently the iron therapy didn't help..
My life sux.
I'm here 'atoning' for my sins...and to get out of said rut and move forward.
I just got an email...pretty much topping off a shitty day...almost the nail on the coffin...
"SHE'S" talking about getting married.
You know...the ex that I have head trama over? From WAY back when???? Yeah....
HER life seems to be fuqqin' peachy.
I KNOW...GET OVER HER....evidently...I can't.
I USED to be this guy: bold, loves life, whatever...he's gone. I feel like a shell...hollow and alone.
How do you come back from this?
I retract my earlier statement. I'm not fine. Not at all.
I'm going to bottle this up like I do everything else and press on.
Some day, I'll be fine...maybe back to my old, new ways...time will tell...

until then....fuq my life...

Dude..snap out of it. NO ONE CHICK is worth what you are putting yourself through.

There are tons of girls out there

She's your ex -whether it was your decision or not. Learn something from it and Move on

you sir, will see my #'s go up a bit faster. Its andro...that shit-ball government that we have...For the People...banned pro-hormones...

I have three bottles. Its a one month 'cycle'...one month off, detox. I have my liver cleanse ready to go.
So, I'm good for the next 6 months.

I walked/jogged/ran almost 3 miles last night? We were gonna do another couple laps, but a couple choppers came in. The middle of the track aslo serves as a landig pad...and the dirt those beasts can stir up is tremendous!
Its really something t owatch a helicopter hover 30 feet in the air staying motionless...I'll have to get a pic of one doing it some day in the light...

as bottle states: 19-norandrosta-4.9diene-3.17dione = 30mg
1 pill, 3*day.

After the 1 month 'cycle' I've got a liver detox for the following month.

off to bad start already....have already missed 2 workouts....stupid mission first crap. Tried to go the other evening after work...at 8:30pm...it was SLAMMED in there....I think the whole camp was in the gym...so turned and walked out...

I like the 1 BP/day for strength...but if I miss workouts...really throws me off my schedule...may have to just go back to planes...
Change my reps scheme per week. (read about this

week one rep range: 5
week two rep range: 8
week three rep range: 12

I'm fine.
Don't know how the troops at the front gate area are. Will get that info later. We'll probably make CNN.
No pics this time. BIG cloud of smoke. Must have gone off right outside the gate. Hopefuly none of our boys got hurt.

No mention of civilians at the camp. How big is the group compared to troops? I'm assuming you get to know the people on the base. I hope those caught up in the blast are doing well.

How is the upcoming Karzai inauguration being viewed? Good thing, bad thing, or not likely to have an impact?

Posted by: Burner02

There are a lot of contractors here. I do not know any of the injured.
We have not been given any extra briefings about the upcoming inauguration.
Just finished a good book: Lone Survivor by Marcus Litteral. (sp) He was the last remaining SEAL that his 4 man team got wiped out in the mountains here back in '05. beyond the Patriotism and hooah!!! That is in the book...gives an insight to the kind of 'people' we are fighting here.
We are doing it wrong.

Arch has spoken!

The one BP a day approach has never worked for me either.

Posted by: Burner02

it was my staple for many, many moons. I haven't reall seen any progress with any other workouts. #'s are staying the same, weight is the same...
I just have to make sure I do not miss any workouts or I'll get so far behind it won't be funny.
I got my boxing gear in the other day: Wrist wraps and bag gloves. Gonna rotate between track/elliptical and bag work/jump rope
Next spring will try some of those cross-fit ideas: tire flips w/ sledge hammer and other drills.

Posted by: Archangel

I just don't get why you feel like you HAVE to NOT miss any workouts??? I don't see why, or how your #'s are always the same with no progression???

Would you be upset if you didn't squat for 2 weeks??? Thats exactly what I did, I went from 335x21 on 11.06.09 to 365x18 today, maybe you put too much into having to be consistant my Friend, and you beat yourself up mentally over it, instead of taking it as it comes, and we both know once the mental game breaks down, the physical aspect of it is SHOT!!!

I meant it when I said you should consider a consolidated routine, concentrate ONLY on the big 3 movements (with variations) for a while, leave ALL accessory work alone, and just workout every 3-4 days, give it a honest go for a month, only 30 days, keep track of your starting weight, and then your finishing weight, I PROMISE you will be amazed and happy my Friend, not only will you improve dramaticaly, but with less time in the gym than you think you need!!!

I am not trying to upset you by any means my Friend, I sincerely hope I didn't, and if I did, please, Please accept my apology!!! Just trying to help out my Brotha from Anotha!!!

Hey amigo! No need to appologise! I do appreciate your input, I really do, as well as all my friends here!
I've missed so many workouts here...that' why I worry about my consistancy.
It has taken me so long to switch from the 1BP per day to my 'planes' workouts...any other workout is going to be a BIG change.
However, with my work schedule, its kind of difficult. I have tuesdays and Fridays off, so I work out on work days and keep my days off as days of rest.
I truely am hearing and listening to you.
I am going to finish up this strength month with the 1BP and then go back to planes.
I wanted to go to push/legs/pull, will have to see how that works in my schedule.
...I say 'I' alot....

besides, This poster... :P gets his 1 hour break a day...I'm not gonna go sit in the d-fac (chow hall) for an hour, or go sit in my room...so to the gym it is.
So, bear with me and I'll experiment next month

*** The 225 for 8 reps was awesome too! Next stop: 225 for 10!
** Still thinking mostly mind blocking me. I should have had the 275 for sets of 5. First 2 reps went up quick and easy. Rep three...all gas was gone. Annoying.

*** Side note. We are getting to do 'shout outs' to family/friends here tomorrow. It will air on stations back home. Was also told that there will be a link online that I can send out to give to all. you will be able to see lil ol me on the camera...

*** OWIE! Man, I'm getting OLD! My delts were screaming all the way thru. Not in a good screaming kind of way.
*** I've got some COQ10 coming. That may help.
*** Might have to put tris w/ chest or back...I could barely stand to do dips after the delts today...very annoying.

Good lookin workout my Friend, LOVE the name, thanks for the plug, LoL!!!

Take it easy on them delts my Friend, how about splitting like this :

Chest/Biceps
Legs/Delts
Back/Triceps

give them delts some rest after pounding them, just my 2 cents Brotha!!!

...there I was....
minding my own business prior to the gym, sucking down a loco mocho. (dfac coffee w/ hot chocolate pack) prior to heading to the gym.
One of my NCO's come over for whatever unknown reason and started on something.
Somehow, got on to my physique.
???

Something about I have big arms. (No I don't)
and my shoulders are nice, but my chest is small.
WTF?

So my immediate resposes were:
1) Fuck you

2) you're gay for even commenting on my chest

3)...let's see..what else? FU...check. Gay...check. Oh yeah: YOU'RE MOTHER!

...then after the workout, I hit the shower...and had to check myself in the mirror...I do in fact, have a chest. Silly bastard.

But was a good motivational before my benching...

Hey Burner.... I'll trade you ages.... I like yours better

Posted by: Stewart14

Eh don't worry about it big guy, we're all the same age around here give or take a few years (or many in TT's case

), we all don't feel our age, and we certainly all don't look our ages, so screw it, we'll all be 33 forever

Happy Birthday buddy!

Posted by: Burner02

Thanks all!
Hey PY! Of course you did....was so nice, had to post it twice...

Was a pretty good day, being here. Slept in...dinked around, got a couple things done, watched a couple movies, then friends threw a little party. Pizza, cake....the usual.
Back to the iron today.

KAT- woulda guessed you were only 33 to begin with....
(she's handly with knife and gun...ALWAYS be nice to her...)

I'll see if I can get some pics uploaded later
