Hey man, how have things been going for you outside the gym?

That was some good stuff! Those 100 pound curls make my arms feel weak!

Brutus_G · 08-11-2007, 08:06 AM

Wow you can really curl 90 DBs ?

Musclebeach · 08-12-2007, 11:16 PM

Yep, can curl 90# DBs... and my bicep is still attached! Haha

Everything outside the gym is great! Let me introduce my BEAUTIFUL girlfriend Kristina (see picture). School starts in about a week. Working. Riding my fourwheeler and playing with my rc truck/heli. Cleaing my apartment (constantly, so it seems). Haha. I dont know.

EDIT... Duh, photo:

Awww, you two look great together!

You know what this leads me to ask - Where are you going to school? What's your field of study?

I know school and work together can be a real pain, so good luck!

Witchblade · 08-13-2007, 11:36 AM

Only you would (could?) even try to curl 100 pound dumbells.

SheLifts · 08-13-2007, 11:49 AM

How is it I never saw this journal before? I'm definately subscribing.

You're inspirational. Do you know who Simon Robinson is?

Musclebeach · 08-13-2007, 12:11 PM

Simon Robinson?... That name sounds familiar, but I dont think I know him. Im not inspirational, I just decide what I am going to do and do it.

LOL... I thought I could get them?

Thanks, we do look cute together and I love her!

Your GF is certainly beautiful!

Musclebeach · 08-14-2007, 02:33 AM

Yes! I knew that name sounded familiar... that is the first time I have read that article though. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, she most certainly is darling!!

Got a little forearm workout tonight... I went to my girlfriends house and went downstairs (to the basement) and going down the steps is not a big deal, I just bump down the steps backwards in my chair. Going up is a different story though. Her Dad stands behind me and I push up on the railings to take my weight off the chair and he just pulls my chair up to the next step, then I reposition my hands and push up and he pulls the chair up, etc. My forearms burned pretty good.

You seem to have the innate ability to make every situation work for you! That's cool, very cool!

A little forearm work? Sounds like alot to me!

that's why i say he's inspirational. he could have done like 90% and sat around and whined and moped about his sitiation (which would have been easier) but instead he's turned it into a success story that's well worth the read.

Musclebeach · 08-14-2007, 11:31 PM

Thanks guys... while I dont think I am inspirational by any means, it is nice to read that you guys think I am. Thank you... it really does mean a lot.

Haha... I am willing to try anything, I always have been, but now I figure what is the worst that will happen, break my back again?? Haha. I will admit that at the top of the steps looking down was a bit scary wondering if my forearms would last and if I would make it up! Haha!!

Shoot man, I'd have paid you $5 just to see the attempt!

Musclebeach · 08-22-2007, 09:31 AM

vortrit - thanks, but my bench strength is very mediocre.

tallcall - lol... it wasnt anything to see. I got all psyched up to get 5 and I get 4. It might have been something to see me pissed off afterwards! Haha! I should have warmed up.

Compared to mine it's pretty impressive...

tallcall · 08-22-2007, 12:31 PM

Those are some awesome pullovers!

Here's a question kind of out of the blue, what does your diet look like? And, are you trying to bulk, cut, or maintain? I ask because of some of the changes I just had to make to mine, I added about 200 calories and it has had a nice effect.

soxmuscle · 08-22-2007, 02:29 PM

What do you do pullovers with?
