**time

**Got off to a rough start. I was planning on starting w/ inc DB presses...but some guy was already on the only inc bench on the heavy end of the DB rack...
I cannot get good weights for inc bb press...dunno why...
Thinking I should have gone for 105's on the db press...want to get those #'s back up..

**was gonna do my Decline DB press...some guy was now on THAT bench..and this is SATURDAY night....only 6 people in the weight room...and he had to jump on my dam bench...

oy.

Bar Stories:
happily, nothing to report.
Got a couple 'compliments'...
"you're a pretty big guy"....me: naw...just fat

One thing that kinda sucked...I was walking across the dancefloor, picking up empty bottles from the railing, when a good looking brunette stopped me and started talking to me..as if we knew each other.
1) I am usually hit on by fat women...I was not used to this...almost did not know how to react...
2) For the life of me..I could not remember who the hell she was! My brain was spinning...I tried a couple questions to try and figure that out w/out her figuring out that I had no clue who she was...didn't work...then! she introduced me to her friends she was with...of course, not her name....oy...a good lookig woman..showed me interest..and I friggin blew it...that's....my life...
At this rate...my mother will never be able to have grand children to spoil....

I personally had no confrontations this weekend, so that was good.
Funny / sad...guess some kid was talking smack to some guy..the guy had enough and popped this kid 3 times in the face....(Not sure what he was expecting the other guy to do??)
So...the kid..when I came across him..was sobbing like a 5 year old....ok...getting punched in the face is a less than pleasurable experience...it downright friggin hurts...but to cry??? In public? Talk about man point violation....

I've really only been punched once in the face. last year about this time. Guy sucker-punched me. At first, my reaction was:
OWIE!
Then.....I went on the 'offensive' and went after the guy. (didn't hit him, or even touch him, actually. I think my reaction scared him)
***being on an andro / test booster that ramped me up probably had to help.
afterward, when it was over and I was back to walking around...I was thinking to myself: Damn, that shit hurts! But I didn't cry...

****I will say that is one thing that I am peeved @ Bush for: Banning pro-hormones.

Same as with ephederine. Just because some dumb MF'ers cannot read a package and take responsility for their actions...we all have to suffer.
example: The bottle says take only two pills @ a time and no more than 8 in a 24 hour period...
idiot reads: Well, if two does this...I an take four at a time...I should REALLY be good..then watch as they fall over dead. The rest of us suffer for those idiots...
ok...off my soap box..

I should write a book...it would be more of a small leaflet on how to make this place better for all:

Take Responsability for your actions.

there you go.
what a concept...can I get royalties for this? I saw a Mercedes I wanna buy...



reminds me of a story about a great civilization that was 'perfect'. The great leaders decided that they needed to write down the formulas of their success to pass on to generations to come as well as other civilizations if they chose to follow it.
--very short version--
the great minds came together to write it out.
1st 'draft' was thousands of pages long
"too long" said the leader. "must be shorter"
after several revisions to condense it, finally the great minds were able to write their secrets into one simple sentence:

"There ain't no free lunch"



There you go. Two bits of wisdom:
1) from yours truely
2) great leaders of a perfect Atlantis type civilization

May you live long and prosper...

Interesting posts. Just one thing...

Um....THAT'S THE ONE THING?!?!?

it's a start.
I think, overall, he is a good President. I may be wrong, but I think he's done an ok overall. I do question some of his ideas / policies...but we (the public) do not know the whole story...as the saying goes:
those decisions are made well above my pay grade.
Well, my relief just showed up...gotta get!

I have to agree with you to a point. Most of the problems are because people do not read the bottles and take too much. However the other problem comes from either undiagnosed medical conditions such as heart problems that are made worse by ephedrine or steriods or from the people not reading and taking ephedrine/steriods when they know they have health problems that can be made worse by taking said things. It all comes down to reading and educating one's self before taking something.

Don't you know it. I thought I had clicked on someone else's journal thread by mistake.

Are we going to be seeing more workouts, Burner?

I love you guys!

yep..u see...I MOVE out of the way..
duh.....

ok..guess what? I went to the gym last night....AND...did my...LEGS!
(ok, short workout, wanted to ease them back into it..and yes, I am feelingthem this morning)

21 November, 05

LEGS:
Squats:
135*15, 225*10, 225*10, 225*10, 225*10

Machine Hack Squats:
140*8, 140*6, 140*5

**squats got off to a good start. Felt light. That last set though...whew! I was getting tired! Be happy to know that instead of shallowing my reps to speed up the set to be done...I slowed it down and went DEEP...for my count of ten..those last 3 reps really SUCKED...GOOD.
**1st time doing hack squats on machine. Felt heavier than what I thought it would be. Also, think I concentrated too much on making sure knees were touching...either way, I finished up and did my little hobble out of the gym.

There ya go. Legs workout accomplished for ths week! TA DA!
will add in more next wek...should be almost up to full speed by then...will keep the weight down (squats @ 225) to build up endurance for a while. I always prefer higher reps on legs.

Nice, another workout... Keep it up.

Good w/o...don't wait so long for the next one!

nice weight on squats!!!!!!

oh........HAPPY EARLY TURKEY DAY!
