The Meltdown - Pylon's Journal V 3.1

Pylon · 01-12-2007, 05:35 AM

I don't need any of those to get my appetite up, I assure you...

Archangel · 01-12-2007, 06:18 PM

Don't forget to eat some for me, LOL!!!

Pylon · 01-13-2007, 06:14 AM

You know, I swear I posted this already, but it's not here...If it ended up in someone else's journal, please let me know!

My plans were broken by a boy with an ear infection, so my cheat meal turned into a simple clean carb refeed instead. Saving the cheat for Sunday night (24 premier!) It's all good.

Double D · 01-13-2007, 06:34 AM

Glad to see your still on track.

Archangel · 01-13-2007, 08:12 AM

Sorry to hear that, hope your son gets better quickly my Friend!!! Hope you have power as well, it's pretty bad out here!!!

Pylon · 01-13-2007, 10:35 AM

We are in good shape. Trees have a little ice, but nothing too serious. We have no plans to step outside until I head over to a friend's house for 24 tomorrow night.

Good Stuff!!! Same here, except have NO plans to go anywhere, have taco soup cooking for later, and all is well!!!

Pylon · 01-13-2007, 10:51 AM

MMMM....taco soup......

I just finished up some salmon cakes (which I have gotten hooked on), but haven't thought about later. Guess I should get something out. I'm betting stir fry will be on the menu...

Archangel · 01-13-2007, 10:57 AM

Salmon cakes, Stir fry, oh man am I hungry!!!

So eat. It's not like you got anyplace to go, right?

By the way, just went outside. We've got some ice on the trees, but nothing on the ground. There's not even ice on my car at this point.

Pylon · 01-13-2007, 03:03 PM

Right on.

I just saw they are expecting more storms to roll thru (not a surprise), and are warning of "large scale power outages." Given that Ameren was just flapping their lips about a rate increase, I hope they are better prepared this time.

Pylon · 01-14-2007, 06:51 AM

I didn't get in an "actual" workout yesterday. I spent most of the day pulling up linoleum tile from the bathroom. All day on my knees (shut your mouth, Burner), prying loose the freaking things. I'm as worn out now as any workout would have made me. So I'm counting it.

Brutus_G · 01-14-2007, 07:17 AM

For some reason i ended up in your journal ,but i think i may stay and see what happens Pylon.

Pylon · 01-14-2007, 09:39 AM

Keep those Avi's coming, Brutus, and you are welcome to stay!

OK but i'll only do it for you

Pylon · 01-14-2007, 04:18 PM

Awww...now I feel special.

Listen up everyone...no one else look at Brutus' avi, got it?

Double D · 01-14-2007, 04:57 PM

I think I made comments on his avatars many months ago. I have dibs.

Burner02 · 01-15-2007, 01:15 AM

Hey Py-
Ever see one of these?
http://www.thexvest.com/
You like to run...maybe this can help you...
If Iget my fat ass back onto the black top...I may look into getting one for myself...

Archangel · 01-15-2007, 03:56 PM

Whats up BRother Pylon!!!

Yeah, seen them. I've got something like that I'm using, but it's kinda "built in."

Pylon · 01-15-2007, 09:26 PM

Lifting day. Whoopee!

WU - treadmill - run @6mph, .25 mile, walk .1, run .15 (at this point I accidentally bumped the shut off button, but was warm enough.)

WU - smith incline press - 135 x 10

pec deck - 140 x 10 (up 20lbs)
SS smith incline press - 140x1.5; 110 x 3
(lost a 1/2 rep, but good ROM. Dropped the weight a little for reps)

DB pullover - 70 x 10 (up 3 reps)
SS CG pulldowns - 135 x 10 (up 15 lbs)

Deadlifts - WU 135 x 10; 225 x 6 (up 1 rep)

As you can see, I'm still sighting in the weights on a couple of things. Felt very good overall.

Burner02 · 01-15-2007, 11:10 PM

Hey Py!
I'm sure you've already told me..but indulge a guy whose memory is slipping..you seem to use a lot of machine work...why not use free weights?

Pylon · 01-16-2007, 12:18 PM

I'm just sticking with Mentzer's program for now. When I'm freewheeling, I do prefer free weights for the most part.

Brutus_G · 01-16-2007, 12:49 PM

So your a hit guy? Could you outline your program?
