Archie 1: Don't know about the great part, but I'm trying the best I can

Archie 2: She must be a good one

Heck, anyone that is there at 4 a.m. must be a good one

Pylon: Who says I didn't just push the car along? JK, How's Denver?

GW:

I was out of town last night, so it seemed the thing to do.

I'm whipped and am going to read a little and go to sleep

Devlin · 02-08-2006, 07:56 PM

That sucks that you missed the gym tonight, but time with the little one comes first as the guys have said. There's always tomorrow.

That would explain why it took so long to get home.....

**Emma-Leigh** · 02-09-2006, 04:33 AM

LOL - just think of the great workout it would have been if you DID push the car all the way home!

Fantastic total body conditioning - like tire flipping!

You should give it a go one time! Or make it into a family outing - get your wife and the kiddo to SIT in the car and THEN push it!! You could take them on a picnic in a forest somewhere! Pack the car up with goodies and push it into the bush, eat the snacks, and then push it home again!

I hope your workout goes well tomorrow steve and that you managed to get a good nights sleep!

ps: It is good to see you back!

Yeah, Steve, you should give that a try and let me know how it goes

Archangel · 02-09-2006, 07:05 PM

How goes it BRother Boiler???

boilermaker · 02-09-2006, 09:32 PM

Cardio: 8 minutes warmup on bike

Weights: Medium Rep Range (6-8) Workout Day 2

Hanging Knee Raises: BW - 20; Weighted Crunches: +10# - 20

45 Degree Sled Leg Press: 360# - 10; 450# - 8, 8 (liked feel of this better than machine leg press that I normally use, it is under repair and I probably won't use it again)

Flat BB Bench: 135# - 8, 8, 8

Assisted Chinups: -64# - 8; -58# - 8, 6.5

Shrugs: 130# - 8, 8

Hyperextensions: +25# - 10, 10

Incline DB Curls: 25# - 8, 8

Overhead Tri Extension w/curl bar: 50# - 8, 8

Seated Calf Extension: 135# - 12, 12

Notes: Pretty good workout. Felt good to go at regular rep speed on some stuff like chins and well, everything. Need to up some weights next time on tri presses, shrugs and leg press. Liked the sled better than the machine for leg presses. It feels smoother and more natural.

Diet: I've had a really good week with a lot of things and issues. Diet is not one of them. It hasn't been terrible, but I need to get it dialed back in.

boilermaker · 02-09-2006, 09:34 PM

Burner1, TT, Burner2:

Archie: Great, thanks for asking.

Devlin · 02-09-2006, 09:47 PM

Another good workout

I only use the 45 degree sled for leg press, my knee likes it better than a machine for some reason.

boilermaker · 02-09-2006, 09:51 PM

Thanks, Dev. Yeah, I liked the sled too. Except for the loading and unloading part. That sucks.

gwcaton · 02-09-2006, 09:56 PM

Nice one Boiler ! Coming back nicely and congrats on the diet

Devlin · 02-09-2006, 09:58 PM

Opps I just looked up the sled I use and it a 35 degree sled.

I'm reading this book called "A Million Little Pieces". Has anyone read it? I know there is some controversey about the facts, but it's a pretty astonishing book so far.

aggies1ut · 02-09-2006, 10:54 PM

(Just on what I've heard). The author tried unsuccessfully to get the book published under the label of fiction. However, one he said that it was autobiographical, people took notice.

Good work!

I hear you about the diet; being strict is hard to stick with. You can do it! Good luck upping the weights next time.

Hmmm... Never heard of it?? What is it about??

It's a memoir (Like Aggies and I have heard, there have been some information that has been proven to be embellished by the author. Most of it seems to center around the amount of time spent in jail) about a guy and his stint in a rehab facility. He is a drug addict and an alcoholic. But not in the sense that most people think of. It was much deeper, darker and frankly, scarier than I expected it to be. It spent a few months atop the New York Times Best Seller List. I saw the guy on TV and wanted something to read on my last trip, so I picked it up. I know a thing or two about alcohol abuse and addiction with respect to nicotine, but this guy and the others in the book were really screwed up. I'm finished with it and would reccomend it to anyone who wants to learn a little about this kind of thing. It's graphic, filled with foul language and at times is really disgusting to read. But, there is a lot of factual information about addiction in it and whether parts are embellished or not, it's a heck of a good story.

GW: Just reading a book going up and down the hills!

Don't feel bad. I was supposed to get a discount and they forgot. After 3 e-mails back and forth I never received my refund for the discount. Great product though.
