Sounds right to me fit!

Chest puts alot of straight on your wrist especially with those heavier weights your not use to pushing around

Consistancy will help but more so your form or choice of bar + width grip. Try a closer or wider grip...which ever puts you in a neutral position. And dont think about griping the bar think of driving your elbows to head height! Your grip is there but if you concentrate on it you will torque the shit outta the bar and DESTROY your wrists!

Burner02 · 07-12-2007, 02:54 PM

right there w/ ya, DB- I get about mid-point and the angle my wrists are in are not happy...I did vary grip, too...

DeadBolt · 07-12-2007, 03:18 PM

play around w/ it ge the slight hunch dont stand straight up. Then just focus on pulling w/ the elbows not the forearms.

you'll find what works mi amigo!

Burner02 · 07-12-2007, 04:29 PM

ok...court update...and it's a DOOZIE!
His show up time was 0830. He wasn't there. Judge issued warrant for his arrest. He shows up late...gives excuse of his grand parent's car over heating..blah..blah...judge issues him a 50k bond. He didn't like that...so he...RAN! Right out of the court room...and out of the court house! THey locked down the building...but not fast enough...he got out...BUT!
They did catch up to him and he is now a guest of the city of Colorado Springs...guess his public defender won't have ANY problems getting a hold of him for meetings now...
heh...this goes to show my point...most 'criminal elemants'....aren't too bright.
I think TV and the movies give criminals WAY too much credit!

bad news: didn't make the gym last night. 'friend' called and asked if I wanted to come over for a while...we watched a movie...ate dinner...I was gonna be a gentleman and just leave...but she asked if I really HAD to leave...so oopsie..ended up getting a nice cardio / ab workout in...

DOMS · 07-13-2007, 10:19 AM

I'm crying on the inside.

Fitgirl70 · 07-13-2007, 10:28 AM

Rooeeerrrr!!! (visualize claw marks here)

Cardio and ab!!!!

I love bed cardio! I like couch cardio too...and carpet cardio...and....oh yeah, you said not too much whoring in here...sorry geeeeez!

Funny story about the perp. Doesn't matter anyway, perps usually don't have much money either, which usually means no restitution. I know aaaaallllll about stupid idiot criminals that take all of your money from your gym membership and just sit in jail so they can't pay you back -- EVER!!!

Burner02 · 07-13-2007, 11:15 AM

but...once he's convicted...I have a friend who is a prison guard...if this guy goes to his prison...this guy will make sure convict isn't 'lonely'...convict...meet...'Bubbles'...he thinks you have pretty lips and wants to be your special friend...

You'll think of any excuse to get out of going to the gym!

This one is an excused absence though.

Burner02 · 07-17-2007, 08:15 AM

well..I ACTUALLY ewnt to the gym yesterday...although..it was no longer my gym...someosort of planet fitness crap place.
You know the kind: no grunting...no DB's heavier than 60lbs...you're probably not even allowed to break a sweat there w/ out causing some sort of violation...so I cancelled the membership...evidently...wasn't the only once...looks like the members were clearing out faster than the equipment...
Drove past the 24 hour fitness....was PACKED...so there went that workout...
I did ride my bike for a little while last night. But was dark when I got home, so didn't go far. I did go far enough to realize..that I am WAY off track for being cardio fit....whew!
So, tonight: Chest / delts / tris.
Gonna have to go tonight, thursday and then saturday.
I have a seminar in Greeley on Thursday, so...as soon as I leave work Wednesday, I have a closing. (YAY! Another paycheck!) Go home, pack a bag, then drive 2 1/2 hours to the hotel.
Class is till about 1 or so...then drive home...hit the gym....that's the plan.
I need to hurry up-n-hit the power ball, or as jeff Foxworthy refers to it: The Redneck Retiremnent Plan. This working for living is over rated...

Fitgirl70 · 07-17-2007, 08:32 AM

Burner

At least you're not living to work sweetie. And you will get that Redneck Retirement Plan....just keep buying those one dollar tickets deary!!

Glad you're having another closing...that rocks!

Keep ridin' that bike until you can get into 24 Hour. You may just have to try to go one morning to see how the crowd is. Then you'll know if you can do it once, you can do it again!

Good luck dear!

naturaltan · 07-17-2007, 09:45 AM

Burner ... seen a couple of workouts ... one 'excused' absence

but not sure we can buy the 'it's packed' excuse

You seemed gung ho at the beginning of this journal, so let's bring back the 180lb Mikie ...shall we?

Fitgirl70 · 07-17-2007, 09:54 AM

I agree with my couSON on this one!

Aaaheeeeemmmm......

I don't care if it is packed, Mister. You can always find something to do in the gym. If the pec deck is in use, use the preacher curl until it's free. If the flat bench is in use, use the cables until it's free. You catch my drift here?

Don't make me make you!

Burner02 · 07-17-2007, 10:19 AM

yer gonna make me.....what...exactly....is it something that could be illegal in some southern states??

Burner02 · 07-18-2007, 09:08 AM

ok....this is off to a shitty week...
went to the gym yesterday...was SO fuqqin packed...couldn't even find a parking space.
So...I drove around, did some errands...came back almost three hours later...STILL packed. So, don't give me shit about it.
I did go look at another gym.
The manager asked right after I walked in...'Where you coming from?"
....Worlds...I mumbled.
Really? I just signed up 10 guys today from there....welcome!
Membership is 25.00/month...it's a bit out of my way...but its a gym..and not smashed crowded...
so will sign up and go there.
THis afternoon, I have a closing right after work, then have to go home, eat, pack and hit the road for Greeley, 2 1/2 hours away. Will get home tomorrow evening...see how things work out.
It's always something, eh?

Triple Threat · 07-18-2007, 09:26 AM

Isn't 24 Hour Fitness open 24 hours a day? Is it packed all 24 hours?

katt · 07-18-2007, 09:28 AM

Gawd, I would kill for a $25 a month club around here!!!!

but to fit into MY 24 hour a day life..the time slotted to go to the gym..is the same time EVERYBODY else goes to the gym.
Can't go in the am...
and I live too far to go home, then come drive the 30 minutes back into town...so am gonna try the other gym.

Fitgirl70 · 07-18-2007, 10:17 AM

Why can't you go in the am? I know it's early, but in reality it only takes a person (on average) about a week to get acclimated to a new habit.

I'm not gonna bust your chops too much on this going early, because I too "need" to get into the gym in the am on a more consistent basis. But I'm fortunate that I work where a gym is a 1 minute walk from my office, so I have the option to go at lunchtime.

There's another opportunity, do you have the option to workout at lunchtime? Even if it is for only 45 minutes -- one can do some real damage in 45 minutes.

You'll figure it out darlin', I just know you will.

speaking of which.....I'm off to do my cardio!

Burner02 · 07-18-2007, 11:14 AM

nope. asked my team lead if I could come in a bit later, like I did last year when i did early am workouuts. Not at this contract we are working on. SHow up time: 0730 hours.
Too far from work to drive there, hit it, get cleaned up and back to work..be like 2 hours total...

Fitgirl70 · 07-18-2007, 11:34 AM

How long does it take you to drive to work from your house? 30 minutes? OK 30 minute drive to work -- that backs you up to 7:00
45 minute workout with say 30 minutes to get dressed -- that backs you up to 5:45. Why can't you get up at 5:30 and go workout?

Refer to above statement that it only takes about a week to get acclimated to a new habit.
