Thread: And I'm back in the very same place I was before..

Good sessions, BTW.

About that other day, sometimes the body can you surprise you. I've had similar days, sometimes things come together for the couple hours in the gym.

nice good mornings those are killer

I have straps, but I'd rather not use them. I'm quickly getting back up to where I left off. I think it's just a matter of my grip not catching up as quickly as my posterior chain has, or my grip is just getting that much more work during the week and it's still fatigued a bit when it's time to pull. I'll use the same weight next week and I'm sure I'll get it for a few more reps.

And thanks, I feel really dialed in right now.

I had a partner today and I guess I was so excited I'd have a spot I didn't realize I had my days mixed up. Just wanted to see where I stood benching. Not too bad I guess. Pretty much worked out on an empty stomach this morning, typically I work out in the evenings. Not too shabby.

Thanks! Not bad for my first BB session. I think I was 201 that day, I haven't weighed myself in a few.

Took yesterday off because I started bowling competitively again. Started a league Wednesday night, drilled up a ball and threw 5-6 games. My arm was toast but at least I shot 662 in league. Hadn't bowled in years and goddamn I was rolling the ball nicely. Bowling ball technology as come such a long way since I last bowled competitively. Hardly have to do anything to make the ball move. Feels good to have a few hobbies going too.

Bowling reminds me of Kinpin




As far as new hobbies go I started flying stunt kites. They are pretty cool.







Yes I have one of each LOL

Haha. nice jag.

Took pretty much this entire week off to heal up some nagging injuries. Wrist is pretty stiff from bowling, leg is finally starting to feel 100%. Only thing that sucks is my diet went to shit. I'm eating a Sour Cream Dount from Dunkin' as we speak. Back on in tomorrow!

I havnt bowled in years, might have to give it a try this weekend, sounds like fun

When I was on Vacation on the Oute rbanks (Pre hurricane) my cousin took us to a town called Duck NC. There is a place called Duck donuts. They make your donuts to order, they are all warm and fresh. One day I ate five of them. I think we went to the Duck donuts three different times.

any word on your Ex Jackie?

Ok so it took a few extra days to get back in the gym but I made it this morning. Just a quick session to get back in the groove. New job has me working long hours and bowling is taking up most of the rest of my free time so I'm not sure how I'm going to feel lifting and being as active as I've been lately. I'm thinking of dropping to 3 days, something like: lower/push/pull or 3 full body workouts. We'll see how I feel later and tomorrow.

I'm having a blast doing it again. I was very competitive as a teen and the thought of going pro was even an option at one point. I was a member of a record setting team when I was 14 but I kinda fizzled out on it as I got into highschool. Now my old high school has a team and they won state championships a few years back.

Holy shit that sounds amazing! Haha, I'd live there.

I haven't talked to her but judging by her Facebook statuses she's been in and out of wherever they take you to interrogate/answer questions. Long days somewhere in West Palm she keeps saying. Really sucks for her considering she's pretty much got a newborn at home and she's a good girl.
