GoalGetter Becomes A Weightlifter

I just took a more thorough look at your T-shirts. They're pretty cool. I like the broccoli shirt and the P-side shirt. Haha. I can't believe you are selling a P-side shirt! Very reasonable prices too. I'm thinking about getting one of the broccoli shirts.

How's the business doing anyway?

Hey! Thanks! Glad you like 'em! I have a bunch of others i haven't put on there yet, not as closely related to fitness/training as the ones on here now, but still kinda funny - some ideas from co-workers and friends.

How's the "business" going? Well, to be honest I haven't really been keeping up with it, nor have I looked at it ever as a "business" per se. I put those all up there for fun, for a laugh between some friends and p-funk and I, and people started buying them, and I'm not really making any money off of the shirts, but the site at least pays for itself every month. It costs $6.95 a month to keep there, and I make just about that much if not a few bucks more, which I then turn around and use to pay for t-shirts i buy for other people sometimes or for myself. So in answer to your question... it's "going", though not sure where, hahahahaha! One of these days I might get serious about it and print up a bunch locally and try to sell them to local gyms or something. I don't know.

Or maybe someone will offer me some money to buy some of them off me, the ideas/graphics, and go sell them and get rich and send me a post card from their new summer home somewhere in Europe, which I indirectly handed them on a silver platter by not thinking of this t-shirt thing as a real business in the first place. hahaha!

Jesus, i woke up wordy today.

Cool beans. Keep us posted about the new possibilities, I will definitely check them out. Hopefully business takes off and it starts doing a little more than paying for itself, hehe.

Have a great New Year's Eve, GG. Be safe!

GoalGetter · 01-01-2006, 09:56 AM

Arch, Pylon, everybody else: thanks and hope you all have a great 2006 also!!

I don't know about you folks, but I've got big plans for 2006 - or at least big goals. I decided not to make resolutions this year, just make some goals to accomplish before the end of the year, instead. So those are:

- Go back to school (which entails moving to Arizona)

- Improve my relationship with food (long story but I know I need to fix myself in this department)

- Finish my website and actually keep updating it

- Compete in something, whether it's the tri-fitness thing in Vegas this summer or an olympic weightlifting meet some time this year.

GG, i looked at your website and read your story of how you completely transformed yourself from a size 9 back to a size 3-5 and i have to say that i am inspired by your story and impressed for a job well done!

Keep up the good work

well... since I am nursing a possible impingement on both shoulders at the moment, this week there is NO olympic lifting.

cry cry cry cry cry....

i feel now like if I dont do my lifts, my work out is not complete. kinda like the period in my life not long ago, when i used to feel like my workout was not complete if i didn't squat really heavy and hit a new PR every single time.

Today was my first day back in the gym for like almost a week, besides some half-assed cardio i did on friday afternoon. I was/am sick - just a head cold. but i feel so shitty not doing something that I started up again.

Without further ado, the workout:

Warmup: 4 rounds of 10 reps of bodyweight squats, 2-leg hip crossovers, glute bridges

Plyometrics: 2 sets of 8 reps of jump squats and lateral hops, RI 45 seconds

Weights:
Trap Bar Deadlifts: 90lb/8, 120lb/8 x 2 RI 90
Step Ups: 15lb/8 each leg x 3 RI 90
Seated Leg Curls: 60lb/15 x 3 RI 30
Seated Calf: 65lb/20 x 3 RI 30

Stretch

Haha, they're pretty cool too I must say. I'm not sure I would feel right displaying naked monkeys though. Make a version where you have on a cod piece at least...
