Been a long time since I've done my Song O' The Week for ya burner! Sorry about the CA clients holding off. I know you'll find your answer, I say pray on it and see what happens.

Here ya go dear:

1 - Oh come and dance with me, my baby
Let's dance, do it, go crazy
The night is young and so are we
Let's make love and dance the night away

What I really wanna do
Is just dance with you
And feel your body tight
Show ya how to do it right
I can show you every move
I know just what to do
Each step we do is refine
One dance and you'll be mine

2- So baby when we hit the floor
You'll be asking for more
Let's make love and dance the night away

Oh come and dance with me, my baby
Let's dance, do it, go crazy
The night is young and so are we
Let's make love and dance the night away

Oh put your hand in mine
Promise I'll take my time

**Burner02** · 10-26-2006, 11:13 AM

SO..good chance I am not leaving my house today....See if I can get some pics later.

**Burner02** · 10-26-2006, 11:50 AM

Here are pics from the frint and back of my humble little abode. Evidently my descriptions didn't come thru. I sent a couple pics of what my view is supposed to look like, and then...now.
ALso..I sent a shot of the car...somebody was asking about it.
ya know..I wanted it to snow so I can check out the AWD of it...but this was a bit much...

**naturaltan** · 10-26-2006, 01:50 PM

I stand corrected.

**Burner02** · 10-29-2006, 04:04 PM

Weekend:
Got to the gym Friday: Delts/tris.
took it easy.
trained Friday. Was annoyed at myself. I think I expect to pick it up too soon...so, patience....
Missed the workout saturday. no excuse.
Wore out from the club, slept too long this am, no workout today..

BAR STORIES:
No fights. Only a couple assists in walking a few people out.
women: Got a few kisses from a few different women...sometimes..it IS good being single. AND! This girl I have been talking to..asked for MY # last night!
Another girl...I've had a thing for..for a LONG time...was there last night...was talking w/ her a little...we'll see.

A LOT of people came out last night to celebrate Halloween. As I have every year I've been there...I call it: "Ho-wee" ...and the name fits. Some looked good..others...not so much.

Am looking forward to tomorrow's workout!

Hey Gary! Good to see you back

**Burner02** · 10-30-2006, 04:40 PM

Hey all-
Today was...weird..shitty....
I DID go to the gym!

So:
30 October, 2006
CHEST/BICEPS

Bench Press:
135*15, 185*10, 245*4, 245*3, 245*3, 245*3, 245*3

Inc. DB Bench Press:
100*4, 75*8, 75*5, 50*10, 50*8

--compound sets--
BB Curls:
65*10, 65*10, 95*6, 95*5

Pec Dec:
120*10, 120*8, 120*7

DB Preacher Curls:
30*8, 30*8, 30*8

**before I left for the gym, I felt weak..and unmotivated. But, I went...hoping that once I got there and under the weight, it would 'turn on' and then I'd get in a good workout.
nope
the 135 set felt 'heavy'. That's usually a bad sign for the rest of the workout. Sometimes, I can get it to turn on..but not today. So, on the bench...I tried the heavier weight..but had to do a lot of sets, as I couldn't do the reps...

**felt winded and just tired...don't know why...hope next week's will be better.

**Burner02** · 10-30-2006, 04:46 PM

Personal rant for the day:
Today's workout SUCKED. (but, at least I went)
then went to my ju jitsu class.
It didn’t go well. It was just me and Eric, my sensei. So, I had an hour of one on one.
I don’t know what it is....but I get put into that situation, (being attacked) and I forget what I am doing. I kept making the same mistakes. We’d stop, correct it...then try again....and I’d do the same dam thing wrong again.
Once, I was working on a technique, and I went the wrong way. (he was coming at me with a left punch. I am supposed to move off-line, to the right so my body won’t be in the line of his punch. I turned left, into it...and got popped in the mouth. Luckily, he wasn’t going HARD....but it still hurt and thought I loosened a tooth)
The part that bothered me...and still is...is that I got REALLY frustrated. I mean...holy shit, I was not in my right frame of mind. (it’s not like this is hard. It’s not brain surgery...but why the hell can’t I pick this up faster? Stuff like this normally comes easy to me)
I started my own psychoanalysis....I wonder if that little bastard actually did more than just scar my face.
It bothers me...I mean....I have always gone into situations full steam ahead.
To be honest, that was one of the reasons I started at the club way back when...and why I went back now: To face my fears.
I like to think I am a fairly confident man. I walk tall and try to be the ‘master of my universe’.
That kid took something from me. I AM mortal. I know it sounds strange, but its really the only way to describe it.
I’m gonna keep going back. I am gonna overcome this feeling that’s dwelling inside....
But I don’t like the feeling that’s inside me right now....just hope it doesn’t take too long to pass.

**JerseyDevil** · 10-30-2006, 05:42 PM

Dude, not sure how long it's been since you worked out, but to do 5 sets with 245 on the bench after a layoff is damn good brotha. I'd hate to see what a 'good' workout looks like

**Devlin** · 10-30-2006, 05:59 PM

I hate to say it, and I could be wrong, but you need to go through the stages after being attacked just like the stages of grief. One stage was going back to bouncing. Another stage is admitting the attacker took something from you. Another stage is facing it and then overcoming it. Venting is a plus and can only help. You will overcome this.

Or you could just be having one hell of a bad day

I dont think its bad either. I am doing the exact same bench scheme, 5x3. It took me a while to get to where with the weight I am lifting now, but once you get there..theres just more 'path' ahead.

What WAS the rep scheme supposed to be anyway?

**Burner02** · 10-30-2006, 07:14 PM

Thanks, all...just a shitty day...
I was hoping to get the 275 up for a set of 3.

Supposed to be: At least sets of 5. so, 245 @ 5 sets of 5.

just my thoughts: If you can't do the weight for at least 4 reps, it's too heavy. But I was stubborn..and hoping it would kick in and get the extra reps.
So, will just chalk it up as a bad day and make sure next week is better.

**AKIRA** · 10-30-2006, 07:26 PM

It happens. How long were your rests?

**Burner02** · 10-30-2006, 07:29 PM

try to keep under 2 mins.
my 'routine': finish set, get up, walk to water fountain and come back, adjust weights if necesarry, stretch...think about next set, and go. (more or less.)
used to think about getting a stop watch or something to time down..
