Hmm...you've got some shade happening with the archway thing, plus lots of room for table and chairs. Surround with some tiki torches and add a grill and you got a stew goin!

b_reed23 · 09-07-2005, 01:28 AM

that's the plan pylon!! we are also gonna plant about 3 or 4 bradford pears behind the cannas, so practically the whole thing will be shaded

Sounds great! I'll be waiting for my invite with baited breath!

b_reed23 · 09-08-2005, 12:15 PM

definetly NOT a good day...I am so dissapointed...

walking lunges 25x6, x6, x5, x4 (each leg)

leg press 255x6, 260x5, x4 pushing up my 4th rep, I felt something pinch in my right hip/leg, I couldn't push anymore, my whole right buttcheek hurt

I knew I couldn't do anymore, so I tried to worked calves...

seated calves 90x6, x5, x5, x4
standing calves 140x5 too much pressure on hip, It pinches whenever I apply pressure to it...

I hope this goes away!!
