I gotta keep your physical abilities sort in sight, my friend...
Really? What class? A certification class?
i have to take my Security +, its DoD mandated, but that's fine...I'm gonna get my CCNA and CISSP certs so the Sec+ will be a good 1st stepping stone.
Well, 100 is ok...it the 120 that's gonna suck. But, as my friend reminds me: its awesome 9 months of the year, miserable for 3...so 9 months of convertable/sport biking weather...that's a good trade-off.
If things work out here $$-wise...with the soft market there...get a nice house for reasonable with a pool...

The class was run by SANS. It was called IT Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking. Basically it taught us how people can break into your home/business. It's actually pretty easy........:wacko:

I got my CISSP last year. I don't think it was as hard as people make it out to be - but I have the piece of paper now :thumb: I wish I could spend more time testing things out.

Yeah.......120 is HOT!!
 
kicking butt in here like normal YM:thumb:

back to those superset-type things you were doing before? I should start doing those again sometime, I really enjoyed them.

do you play basketball often? I just played for the first time on Sunday since last summer I think. wasn't too bad, still got that J;) lol

I was playing every Saturday until I jacked up my finger. I see the hand surgeon on Thursday. X-rays indicated there are no broken bones so I assume it will be a pretty simple tendon repair then back to hoops in 6-8 weeks.
 
doesn't look like your injury is affecting your workouts much.. nice job! :D

Thanks.....my workouts aren't suffering but my typing skills have diminished....haha You use your pinky quite a bit.

sweet!
I know about the security! most people have no clue how to lock up their small business or home security...
I'm starting back int omy certs here. i'm starting with:
Server+, then Security+ (DoD mandated) then CCNA and then the CISSP.
MAYBE go back n get my MCSE after that.
A buddy of mine is sending me materisal sot study for a position with him when I get home, so gonna add THAT to my reading list...will deal with Unix...blech..never liked it...but at least now I guess Unix has a GUI to work with? I HATE THE VI EDITOR! :)
I'm finding out that other companies here are paying up to about 50k/year more than what I'm making to do nearly the same thing...so after a couple more months and another cert or two...am gonna apply to them.

## Saw the doc today. I will have a pin put in my finger next Tuesday. It will keep my finger straight for 6 weeks then I'll have the pin removed. It's an out patient surgery. No basketball for a while.

are you still going to be able to work out like you do at least? Can you improvise with the finger straight?

I'm sure I'll figure something out. My grip may be a little off but it should not be that big of a deal. I'm more concerned about getting it wet since boating season is almost here :D Also - my typing will definitely slow down :hmmm:

** It's about time for a workout shift. My left shoulder started to get better but the pain is back..probably from the 3 FB workouts so I'm going to limit my OH Pressing and only do pushing exercises 1 to 2 days to see if things get better. Also many of my normal exercises are not feasible with this pin in my finger. I will get the pin pulled out on 5.21.09 so I have 5 weeks to go. I'm thinking an Upper/Lower/Fullbody split or maybe a Pull/Push/Legs routine. I'll probably add in more core and cardio since summer time is almost here.

you sir, are a machine! How long did that take?
 
you sir, are a machine! How long did that take?

Thanks B. Total time including warmup was 45 minutes. I've been having some nagging injuries so I decided to cut some volume this week. The deads felt OK. I haven't done conventional deads in a while. The chins felt real good. I'm trying to hit my pecs on the bar so I'm getting some good ROM. It's a nice break from doing the heavy weighted chins.

:thumb:
 
way to go!
i guess was lazy...as long as my chin cleared the bar, I was happy...but now that I'm starting from scratch again, might as well do them as you do!
