LAM's quest for perfect symmetry
Well my 3 month hiatus from the gym is over. It's time to get back into the swing of things. For the next year at least all I'm going to do is focus on my symmetry and getting to what I think is my ideal weight and bf which is 240 lbs @ 10% bf (at 6'0).
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Me as a newbie in '84
here's a pic of me in '84 I was 5'9 145. I had been going to Paoli Nautilus for a year but hadn't really got into the free weight thing.

LAM in 2001
these are pics from last year. I was able to keep a lot of muscle even after the 4 year lay off from the gym from '97 to the beginning of 2001. I'm about 230 here at around 12% bf @ 6'0.

No problem PB ! ..I actually might be down in the area in a few weeks but I'm not sure right now. I'll let you know.
Friday
10:00 am 45 minutes cardio on the treadmill.
* I took my thermo and 2 grams of Acetyl-L-Carnitine 1/2 before training. When I got back at 11 I slammed down a protein drink and went and caught the 12:00 showing of Star Wars. I broke out in a complete sweat through the entire movie. It must have been from the combination of the two.I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Don't you just hate that. There are some workouts where I just can't cool down, sometimes even an hour afterwards... steaming in the winter!!!
By the way... Doc's gave me antibiotics for now. So hope that's all it will take ... you know?
Give me a holler if you get this way. Just PM or Email me and we'll work some time to hit the gym.. no legs is my one rule though.. LOL167 170 175 180 185 190 195 196 197 198 199 200

Is that on the way to or from work? There's one on the Northeast corner of Sahara and Decatur that might be closer, you just have to deal with the traffic on Decatur.

Work? I haven't done that since I moved. I don't know what I want to do, I'm done with the Tech sector (to many geeks, long hours, traveling etc). Thinking about going to flight school to fly helicopters.

OK, I'm working from a mental map that's about five years old. I didn't realize you were that close to Eastern.Originally posted by LAM the Gold's on S. Eastern is only 2 minutes away from my house.

Must be hanging around too many squids, they're contagious, ya' know? If I ever get the urge to embroider my name on the back of my pants I think I'll just end it all right there.
P.S. I was thinking back to when I'd go to Eastern and you had to fight all that traffic, especially across The Strip and I couldn't for the life of me figure how you could get there in a couple of minutes. DOOOHHHH!!!! They added that little stretch of road called the 215 Loop. OK, I think we're on the same map now.

Yea the 215 is crazy but I guess it helps with traffic. The 45 MPH speed limit is ridiculous but no one does it. I know I don't !

Sunday (6/02/02) - Legs
10 minute warm-up on the treadmill
Leg ext - 3 x 8 @ 120 w/ 2-6-2 count
Leg Press Dorain Style - 1 x ? @ 720 w/ 2-4-2 count
* for those who do not know what this is. You start out at a heavy weight at which you can do about 10 or so good reps reaching concentric failure. then after the first set each preceding set is also done to failure and you start stripping plates(1 off each side) and continue so reps are not really counted. This is done until 1 (45 lb) plate is left on each side.
Smith Front Squats ATF - 2 x 10 @ 185
Leg Ext Static Hold - 1 rep x 175 x 10 secs
Leg Curl - 3 x 10 @ 110 w/ 2-4-10 count
SLDL - 3 x 185
20 minutes treadmill and limp out to parking lot...
