Today was an absolute shit day. It sucked in nearly every conceivable way. I'm normally an upbeat, easy-going, person. But today pushed me way the fuck over the edge.

The only thing that kept me from ending up in the local jail was the thought of going home and doing some pulling. Which is funny because my favorite exercise is the Back Squat. But I couldn't stop thinking about Deadlifts.

Before I go on, I'm pretty sure I came close to ending up in jail today. Towards the end of my day I was walking across a major street, in a crosswalk, when a piece of shit almost ran me down. He stopped just short of me. I refused to move so that he could pass and told him to get the fuck out of his truck and face me. I had every intent of turning him into a bloody fucking mess. The bitch refused to get out, I called him a bitch and walked on.

Anyway, during my final single-rep set of Deads, I thought of all the fuckers that crossed my path today and ripped the shit out of the bar...for a PR.

After I finished with Deads, I realized (for no reason that I can think of) that I've never, not once, not ever, done Dips. That's right, I've never done them. So, it's not surprising that I suck at them. I'm sure it didn't help that my stress levels were through the roof.

Man I'm really sorry today sucked so bad DOMS. What set you into such a bad funk?

On the dips were the last ones a strain or did you set 5 as your number and still have change left over after the 5th?
 
Haha, nice one on calling that truck driver out, I hate it when pricks like that act like they've done fuck all wrong.

Good Squats. You could always try doing bench dips, to build up to unassisted bar dips.

My day started with the dealership, where I took my car to have it's breaks worked on, tell me that somehow "mysteriously" transmission fluid ended up in break system. When I pointed out how they had just worked on it, they blamed me.

The total cost to replace the entire breaking system is $2000. I've talked them down to $1000, but I shouldn't have to pay a single dime.

I think that, physically, I had more in me, but my mind just stopped. Like I said, it was a very shitty day.

Thanks for the tip man. BTW, those were Deads, not Squats. It'll be a while before I can Squat that much.

Most states have laws that cover what they did. Trany fluid eats the rubber in your brake system. If you're a crook then a lil dab will do ya. I'd call the State attny gen's office or look in the phone book (god that is such an archaic term now ... phone book?) and look up the info number and call to see who would investigate fraud claims.

As someone who has been in the auto business I can say you are getting jacked by that dealership. If they're honest they won't have a bunch of priors but if they're crooks then other people have already called in and you could get more leverage with this dealership if you know those details.

I had to apply with the state to get a dealers license. It will take a little leg work but I'd get to digging if it was me. The state agency that licenses auto dealers will know who to go too or where to start.

Lol ... dude. When you get fried in the head and you go into auto pilot so that the lift still gets done that shows a deep level of dedication. Pretty fuggin cool sign of what lies beneath ...
 
Sorry Doms... just when you think you won't run into any fucktards... here they come!

Hopefully today will be better for you. You got a PR out of it, that's cool... but I wouldn't want that type of motivation every day.
 
Good man lol dont you take any shit! I wish someone would fuck with me been having dreams of beating the shit outta ppl. That sounds bad huh?

people like that piss me off, they're fucking morons!

awesome workout though man, and a great PR! that's a definite plus.
 
well...on a good note..and if u believe that all things happen for a reason...that guy got you ramped up...which you took out on the iron..and suprassed your old record.

Its amazing what the mind can get the body to do. If I was about to hit a heavy weight. I'd think back to one of the situations (when I was a bouncer) and replay it in my mind...what happened...the good ones...and the bad ones...thinking of what I 'd like to have done to 'correct' what i hadn't done...get that image in my mind...getting myself amped up...and put that energy into the set I was about to unleash it on...

I love dips. keep working them. Great mass builder. Wait till you can do weighted dips...good stuff!

Damn it, you're mention of back squats threw me......

Still, damn good deads.

What were you getting done to the brakes originally? If you had the time, could you do the work yourself? (If you are so inclined/ able)
 
If you want motivation, just try imagining a family of 30 Mexicans moving in next door to you. :laugh:

I can just imagine DOMS waking up and seeing cars on the front yard, 2 or 3 on blacks. Not to mention the "yard furniture!"

Thanks for the info.

So far I've talked them down to $1000 (the price of the parts). I'm going to have them do the work, because no one will do it for that little, and then I'm going straight to the top of the company and lay it out. If I'm lucky they'll refund me the money.

If I'm not so lucky, I'll lodge a complaint with the AGs office and track down the dealer registry people and lodge a complaint with them as well.

Thanks, man. Those are some very nice words.

I workout in a vacuum. There is no one that I know of, in person, that works out. I've worked long and hard to get my dedication up to that level and I'm working to notch it up even more.

:lol: Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it.

But it's like I say: Sometimes life gives you unexpected wins, and sometimes life gives you unexpected losses. Either way, it beats being dead.

No doubt. I felt my body ramp up as I stood there in front of the bar. I really did rip the shit out it, too.

Yeah, I can't believe that I've neglected Dips for so long. It destroyed my pecs and delts. These are not going to be a regular in my workouts.

It'll be a big day in my workout life when I can do them weighted.

I was having the driver-side, rear, self-adjuster replaced. I just didn't want to spend my time doing it. I have the skill, but I don't like working on cars. It rips my hands to shreds and I don't like getting stained with grease.

Perfect plan DOMS. Just don't sign anything. Also get the SAG involved ahead of time so that they can watch how this goes from here. It will help to establish your case better. They've already admitted their guilt by doing the job at what they claim is their cost. Nobody does that ... a discount maybe. Cost? Never. He (the guy that made that call) doesn't want you to go the legal route on him so he is trying to chill you out without going out of pocket IMHO.

The TSAG's office came at me twice for repo'ing vehicles from people's fenced in back yards. The poeple I noted the cars too didn't pay me and I got my cars back. I got a slap on the hand :cry: from the TSAG but I got my property back so w/e.

Do you like the lone gunman approach or would you rather do the partner routine?

I love dips too!! Hey Doms,, are you going to start a new journal???
Click to expand...

I'm glad you understood what I meant.

Yeah, I'm going to start a new journal, but first I need to do a lot of testing to find out what my 1 PM is in a lot of different lifts. I'll do the testing here and then move over to a new journal.

I'm going to start with the Waterbury Method. It came with the book that I purchased for the Total Strength Workout, but I want to try this first. I should mention that the exercise selection is different in the book than on that web page.

Once again, thanks for the tips. Yeah, there's not way in hell I'm going to sign anything now.

I don't have a partner, not because I don't want to, but because I simply don't know anyone that works out. I'm thinking about getting a Gold's membership and seeing if I can find a partner there.

Heya Doms...


Just finished the third Dexter book (Dexter in the Dark). I think the writing is getting better, though I didn't care for the premise. Have you picked it up yet?
