My teabag thanks you for your interest.

It feels fine. I'm going to give in until next Monday, though. Just to make sure that it is okay...and...to get in some game time on GTA:SA and Oblivion on my new PC.

You might find it'll be the following monday that you get started up again after playing Oblivion, months even. I've heard that game eats hours like an obese father time after Ramadan.

...and that's not even mentioning GTA: the only way you can shoot Mexicans and not get done for it. I can see why you like it..

I've played both games to the end. I'm just playing them both for a bit to see how they respond to the better setup that I have.

I went from an AMD 64 3000+, 1.5 gig of PC2300, and an 8X AGP 7800GS to a dual core AMD 3800+, 2 gig of 800MHz DDR2 dual channel, and a 7900GS.

I'm not quite the game player that I was before. I did, however, spend an hour today downloading better textures, mods, and editing the INI file of Oblivion to really push the quality of the graphics. I also downloaded a few mods for GTA:SA, including a 10X distance viewing mod.

Have you seen the preview for GTA4? It looks so damn incredible!

Yeah, it does look fucking cool. The other GTA's are pretty much my favourite games, although I found i spent more time on killing spree, rampages than on missions. With cops as the no.1 target.

That set up sounds pretty fly. You'll have no problem playing the new GTA when it comes out. (Or anything else for that matter).

Are you going to have to put on a bathrobe...?

In terms of everything but graphics, Vice City is my favorite GTA game. I would spend a long of time just tooling around in a vehicle...occasionally running over people. Unlike SA, the music was great. Though James Woods' character in SA is the best in any GTA game.

I don't think it's that powerful, but I'll find out tonight when I fire up Oblivion. I hacked the crap out of that game to push it to the max. You can do some incredible things with the INI file.

Better days? Why, did you have some failures? No bulgarians I see, so it couldnt be that bad of a day..

I was not in pain afterwards, so I guess, it was'nt a great day. Did'nt feel like I worked as hard as I could. When I feel completly fucked afterwards, then that's a good day.

12 x HIIT sprints. 1 minute rest in between.

95-100% effort. Duration of each sprint 10-15 seconds.

Fairly whipped.

Now I know what youre talking about. Ive had 2 of those this week.

goob · 05-19-2007, 09:52 AM

8 am workout on Saturday?????? Why!!!!

DB Sumo squats
65's x 10 (3 Sets)

Bulgarians
50's x 6 (3 sets)

Leg Press
520 x 8 (x3 sets)

Leg Ext
140 x 8 (3 sets)

SA pulldowns
70 x 6 (3 sets)

Pull overs (EZ Bar)
50 x 8 (x 3 sets)

Leg day done at 8am on a Saturday??? WTF was I thinking???
Hell, that woke me up. Wide awake. I guess I have a love/hate relationship with the Bulgarian squats. I love them because they hurt, but I hate them because they hurt.

Double D · 05-20-2007, 04:47 PM

So did you crawl out of the gym? Nice workout!

AKIRA · 05-20-2007, 05:10 PM

Guess you didnt go drinking on Friday night.

Nope, but I made up for it with a session going on til 7-8 am on Saturday-Sunday night. Really bad hangover on Sunday evening. Apartment was pretty blitzed when I woke up, and then discovered that I was responsinble for the worst of it. Damn.

goob · 05-21-2007, 05:24 PM

6 fifteen second sprints (100% effort), followed up with 3.2 mile run. Ouch.

Double D · 05-21-2007, 05:28 PM

Ouch brother, very ouch indeed!

Yup, it was my toughest cardio session yet. Pace of the run was pretty slow, around 9-10 minute miles, I was done after the sprints.

Double D · 05-21-2007, 05:31 PM

I was going to say, after I do sprints I normally do some SAQ drills and maybe some box jumps and I am spent. Of course I should do the box drills first, but I always forget until the end.

goob · 05-21-2007, 05:35 PM

Sounds pretty hardcore. I think adding pylometrics after sprints is pretty tough. Sounds painful...........I may just consider this.....

Double D · 05-21-2007, 05:37 PM

Do the plyos first. That away you dont short change your power exercises.

goob · 05-22-2007, 03:45 PM

DB Bench

Saxon's
25lb's x 10 (both sides) x 3

Crap workout. Running around all day before hand so used up a lot of otherwise useful enery and did'nt get the chance to eat before. Was'nt completly useless, but just not satisfying.

Mr. goob how do you like those saxons after doing them for a while? Where do you feel them most?

Hey, a workout (of any kind) is better than no workout.

Nice. You obviously know your way around a computer like a gynacologist knows pussy.

I'm not bad with computers, but i'm no computer engineer, but i'm always intrigued about what you can do delving below the surface.

I seem to feel them right on my sides, I guess almost on the Latimuss dorsi. Dose'nt seem to hit the external obliques as much as I expected. I do like them. Those woodchoppers are also excellent for hitting obliques.

I'm not a gynecologist, but I play one in my shed.

Hacking the INI file is no harder than reading a text file with notepad.

But it's knowing what you're doing is important, and what you can do by altering files. Very interesting stuff.

goob · 05-23-2007, 05:47 PM

HIIT. 15 second sprints x 12. Uo to 1 minute rest inbetween. Variable.

Could barely walk after. Recovery time down big time, conditioning is getting much better, heart rate comes down VERY quickly.

Double D · 05-24-2007, 12:51 AM

Dips look AMAZING!
