Bench Press
135 x 8
155 x 8
205 x 12
225 x 6

One of the worst bench workouts I 've had in a long time. Elbow problem seems to be getting better, but I think mentally it is holding me back.

HS Incline
100 x 8
190 x 8
280 x 10

Pec Dec Flyes
105 x 10
135 x 10
150 x 8

Went to the park for my usual hike with my wife, stepson and dog. Many people have come to this park for years, and I have heard the story about one path to avoid. They said this guy has trained a older Golden Retriever, of all dogs, to bark at people coming close to their house which is located at the top of a hill close to the park. Some said the dog has run down the hill and nipped their dogs. One gentlemen told me the guy who lived in the house threatened to shoot his dogs if they came on his property.

I am new to this park and discovered the said trail, and like it because it is secluded. I have taken Shelby down this trail several times, no incident. Then twice in the last two weeks, we saw the GR. It ran to the back of the properties' fence, but then came to an opening and started to run down the hill, in park territory towards us. It stopped short, but barked very aggressively. My dog just ignored it.

Today, we walked along the trail and went by the house, mind you in the park's territory. Shelby usually goes a little ahead and I heard her bark and growl, which is very unusual for her. We see what appeared to be a homeless guy because he looked very scruffy looking, holding a digital camera. He snaps a couple of photos of my dog, then us. I told her to come back which she did, and he proceeds to tell me, "I have one just like her at home.... she is the one who barks at 'you people' when you come by". I said 'oh, I have heard about you'.

Then he said, your dog is required to be on a leash, where upon I said, it is right here in my hand. He mumbled oh yeah in your hand. Then he starts sprouting off this bullshit how he has photos and is going to the mayor's office on Tuesday to show him the 'evidence'. Now THAT pissed me off and I said Don't threaten us asshole. I got in his face, he was still snapping photos, and asked him his name. He keep repeating, you can come to the mayor's office on Tuesday. I asked his name again, and I swear to God I wanted so fucking bad to punch him in the mouth. I think he knew it because he could see it my eyes, so he backed off. My wife God bless her, was screaming at him, you have issues pal. We started walking away, and he was walking behind us snapping more photos. I turned around and after a few more choice expletives, told him if he didn't stop taking pics, I would shove the camera up his fucking ass. He responded by saying "I'll tell the mayor you were cussing too!". Fucking dildo. He really is lucky I didn't beat his ass to a bloody pulp, because I was so pissed off and entirely capable of that. Don't threaten me because I am walking my dog off leash on a nature trail moron.

Showing some great restraint in the park, JD.

Triple Threat · 09-02-2007, 08:44 PM

You did the 20 repper after all the heavy work? I feel like quite the wuss now.

Brutus_G · 09-03-2007, 08:28 AM

You did better than me JD i would have mauled his ass lol.

yellowmoomba · 09-03-2007, 09:09 AM

Sounds like a nice "relaxing" walk........You should have beat his ass

===

Ohhhhhh..........20 repper

I think you needed it

soxmuscle · 09-03-2007, 10:31 AM

You should go to the Mayor's office and tell the Mayor how much of a douchebag that guy was. Honestly, what is he going to do with the "evidence?" Mind boggling, what a shithead.

Hammer Strength single arm machine, I'll be utilizing that one today. Good call and good workouts.

I think so too. He wasn't exactly a small looking dude. He was shorter then me, but was stocky looking. I could have beat his ass big time though

Exactly. The world is so full of mindless asswipes.

JerseyDevil · 09-03-2007, 06:26 PM

So.... today, I walked 4.2 mph on a treadmill for 2.5 miles, and took dog on hike in said park for over an hour.

Did not go down the same trail. I SO want to confront this jerk again, but I have to protect my family first. He is such a fuck wad, I could see him planting poison or threatening us with a gun. My other side tells me, don't let this guy dictate where you go in a public park. Turn the other cheek?

My wife, dog, and I went this time. We were deep into the woods and my wife screamed "Oh My God!", I said "What?!". There was a 4-5 ft black snake sidewinding up the hillside. Shelby never even noticed it. I looked it up when I got home, it was a Black Rat snake that get to 42"-72" long, but they are not poisonous. They do wrap around and constrict their prey, but chipmunks and such. I think my 75 lb golden retreiver could hold her own.

PreMier · 09-04-2007, 04:03 PM

I would have been hella pissed if some psycho was taking my and my familys pics. I commend you sir for not killing him

katt · 09-04-2007, 10:16 PM

You know low volume isnt always bad sometimes you just gotta mix it up. Hang that damn sign man lol! PLZ

katt · 09-06-2007, 10:14 AM

Well Jersey - I don't see anything wrong with that workout

JerseyDevil · 09-06-2007, 02:04 PM

My best natural is 225 x 11, but I would rather see 245 x 6-8, I am a lower rep kinda guy.

Weights are looking GREAT as always!

Nice restraint at the park and wise on avoiding this guy (even though it would be great to confront him) because he could be carrying a gun and injure you or even worse your wife!
