Blood, Sweat, and Beers

[dvlmn666]

sounds good to me, guess it's on. April 25, we both put pix up. And decide from there who gets the case of said beer.

Damn that means have to put off a weekend of drinking til then.

and hey what can I say, guess I had a little pull, well that and she probably missed ya

 

[irontime]

sniff, if only that were true ,
Anyways, started the day off right. I was up by 5:45 had some milk, and was running by 6:30. Had the place to myself again so I was able to blast Slipknot, which always helps. Pulled off 3 miles, then I had a good ab workout and I beat the shit out of the heavy bag. I should be at the heavy bag a little more often as for some reason I am being very bitchy lately and losing my temper for no reason, I normally don't do that. Oh well, at least I'm taking it out on the bag and no one else

It was pretty funny this morning though as the speakers for the court where you do laps and the weight room are connected to the same player. When I was in the weight room an elderly couple came to walk laps in the court and wanted to listen to the radio so they got the security gaurd to open the speaker room and turn up the volume. By the time they realized that it wasn't the radio playing but my head-banging cd the door was already closed/locked and the guy was gone, those poor folks had a good 15 minutes of Slipknot by the time the door got opened again

Sidenote; I should be able to get some updated pics up soon, well as quickly as my buddy is able figure out his new digi-cam

I had that happen one week when my carb intake went down to about 15%. lmao wasn't paying attention and didn't have time to go to the store and buy bagels or anything. got called a few things here at work that week. lmao

That's gotta be so awesome to get to listen to your music in there without having to have it on headphones.

 

[irontime]

I don't know if it's the carbs, I think it's just because it's getting to the end of the year and there is a lot of shit on my mind.

And ya the music without headphones actually seems to help more can't quite figure that one out.

 

[irontime]

Had a good cardio and chest workout today. I'm thinking of taking 3 or 4 days off of the weights as my muscles are constantly feeling sore and beat up. Might just need to rest them a bit. But don't worry Dvlmn, I won't be going off cardio, don't want to make it too easy for ya

 

[dvlmn666]

lol hey stop stressin dude a case doesn't cost that much j/k but hey just relax finals suck, but you'll do great.

and do you really think I'd let ya wimp out on the cardio? If your feellin sore that much, yeah take some time off of lifting for a bit. Then you'll be able to come back better than before.

hmmm or might that crabby part be comin from the same prob i have. "to much blood in the alcohol system"

 

[irontime]

Well if it's too much blood in the alcohol system then I helped that out a little bit. Not too much though, only a couple of beer. I mainly stuck to whisky and some red wine, but I stopped before I got drunk. Still not a good thing, but what can I say I like my booze

did good this morning. Woke up early and ran 2.5 miles then did some stomach. Should be taking some pics on the digi cam tonight so hopefully I'll have updated ones for you tomorrow.

 

[Miss LeDix]

Hi it, looking forward to the pics...and I must say, you drank an interesting mix of alchohol. Beer, whisky, and red wine? What up with that?

Great job on the run this morning...where do you run? Outside or on a treadmill? I know you live in Canada...where it can be pretty cold!

 

[irontime]

Ya no shit, it's still snowing over here right now, damn that sucks. I do my running around the basketball court, it's great as no one goes there early and I can listen to whatever I want.

And as for the mix....well... I also had a couple of revs so include 'vodka' into the brew

 

[dvlmn666]

lmao, hmmmm what's the deal. Might as well just send me the case now. hehe j/k

as long as ya had fun. and yeah let's see them pix buddy. Wow running around the bb court reminds me of playing basketball in High School lol. what a pain. But it's always easier when you get to listen to something motivating like slipknot

alright dude, good job getting that alcohol system replenished, now get to work.

 

[irontime]

Going to have to postpone pics until tonight, hopefully, my buddy who owns the digi-cam lent it out and never had it returned.

Well screwed myself over for today. The bar I work at had Headstones playing last night and they let me in for free on my nights off so I ended up partying it up a little too much. Damnit. Ah well, college life eh? I'm still a little tipsy so I think today is an off day And since I'm wasting space I may as well through in that Headstones had an opening band called 'Crunch' I think you would really like them Dvlmn, I did. In concert they sound like a cross between Godsmack and the old Metallica. Unfortunately their cd doesn't sound as good as they did live.

 

[dvlmn666]

I haven't heard of them, but will be worth checking out then. Down's new cd comes out today I'll let ya know what I think of it later

Hey at least you had fun. Have you started eating more small meals yet dude? even with all your drinking that might help get ot your goals better than starving yourself like you'd said you were gonna do before.

 

[irontime]

Of course you haven't heard of 'Crunch', there is no such band. My alcohol warped mind got the name wrong, the name of the band is 'Chunk' oops.
Having a change of heart right now and i'm about to go do the stepper on iron lung level 9, 22 minutes. Have you been able to find the 'iron lung' level on your thing yet dvlmn? And I did start eating smaller meals so that should help and it's a lot nicer than the starving thing, go figure
Right now the battery is charging for the cam so I definitely will have some pics for you tomorrow, audios

 

[dvlmn666]

Good luck on the stepper dude. I haven't actually looked for that setting yet. lol. Knees have been sore so been doing the eliptical lately. But probably one of these next days I'm going to do the stepper and see if I can't beat your time on that one.

Glad you started eating better, I used to eat the 2 meals a day way for a long time. and it just plain old sucks, plus you'll end up losing alot of muscles as well as fat on that kinda diet.

Good luck on the 'iron lung'

 

[irontime]

I needed luck today, oh well I made it. Just thought I'd stop in and put up the pics. They aren't great but good enough.

Won't be able to run early tomorrow as I have to work tonight. Big Wreck is playing so that should be kinda fun, even though they are not really my type of music it's at least a live band.

 

[dvlmn666]

hey dude, much better pix. You've got some serious size

Hope the show was pretty cool last night.

 

[irontime]

Thanx bro, I'm dissapointed in myself for neglecting abs the way I did though. The show was alright, not as many people showed up as for the Headstones, but it was good.
I want to work out today but don't know when I can. Pretty busy schedule with about 7 hours worth of class and an essay to write. Might just have to go to bed early and wake up early tomorrow to run.

 

[dvlmn666]

yeah sometimes have to get the school stuff done first. Just hit it hard tomorrow.

Hey at least you can say you neglected them. Better than me, I'm working on getting mine to show for the first time ever.

And hey this time just have to keep em. At least that's my plan, after this I'm going to try to gain back up to 220. while keeping the 6 pack

 

[irontime]

That's a great goal dude, I'm sure you can do it
Well i had one hell of a backfire on me. As you know I took a few days off of the weights to heal up and also because this weekend is a long one. I normally don't have too much else to do on longweekends so I hit the gym really hard. I got up early this morning to go run and noticed there was a new posting on the door. "Must be the weekend hours for the gym" I thought.
Sure enough it's the weekend hours for the gym;
"The basketball court and exercise facilities will be closed Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday"
..........shit. So I did my run (2 miles), May as well do shoulders and back this afternoon and hope that there is somewhere open uptown on Saturday to do chest and arms. Well that kinda screwed up this weekend, ah well

This is the best I ever had them right now too. Don't have much but I'm scared of losing what I've got.

 

[kuso]

Got the same shyt here too bud.

I`ve got to work all day Friday and Saturday...and my peice of shyt gym suddenly decides to have a holiday on Sunday!!

 

[dvlmn666]

I'm lucky on this one. sunday they have off at my gym (and it was my off day unless i decided to do cardio). Arround here it's all busines so hardly any holiday hours. Heck my cousins kid works at a grocery story and they are open all day every day over the holiday.

IT, dude you can still do abs at home. and well maybe a longer rest than you planned might be good to let you heal up even more. Then come back on tuesday to hit the weights hard.

and well both of us are trying to get our abs the best ever so far which is cool, more incentive.

just don't give up and just send me the case because would take the fun out of it

 

[irontime]

LMAO, Don't worry there won't be any case sending. I always wanted to go to Cali and was intending to after I started teaching. It might take a couple of years but by that time if we keep doing competitions I should have about 15 cases waiting for me. Sounds like the perfect holiday

 

[dvlmn666]

hmmm if we're gonna keep this a running competition, your vacation could get rather expensive, with all the beer you'll be buyin me **efg**

yeah when your done get your a$$ down here and we'll party. Found some cool bars but hardly anybody i know here wants to go to them bunch of candy a$$'s

 

[irontime]

Well had a shitty workout this afternoon. I was still able to pull some heavy weight around but it just didn't seem like I was in the mood to workout. Which really sucks considering I had a few days off. At least I went I guess. I didn't really do too much more cardio so I'm going to walk to work so that will add a couple of miles. Hopefully I'll be able to use somebodies computer this weekend or this will be my last journal entry till Tuesday.

 

[dvlmn666]

Well if I don't see ya til then, have a good holiday dude. And just hit the weights harder tuesday. After being ready to lift and then getting that news this morning probably kinda killed the mood for ya goin this afternoon.

 

[irontime]

Well me and my buddy decided to take a little road trip on Saturday and hit a bigger gym somewhere, there's enough towns around here that there should be something. Then we'll do chest, arms, and tri's. So that should help out there. But ya I was pretty bummed about finding out the gym would be closed all weekend, didn't think it would wreck my day though.

 

[irontime]

Had probably one of the best chest workouts that I had all year today. Went to a bigger gym and they had dumbells that went up to 125lbs. (Gym at the college only goes up to 105) I was able to pull off six reps of the 125's. Might have been able to do more but my workout buddy drank too much last night and was rendered useless today. I was also able to try dvlmn's infamous eliptical runner today. Not bad, I like how easy it is on the knee's, but it doesn't quite kick your ass like the stepper.

 

[dvlmn666]

wow, dude awesome

the knees is why I usually do the eliptical. but your right nothing kicks my ass like the stepper does either.

 

[kuso]

I`m going to revert to being the black sheep again here.............we`ve got the standard bikes, those bikes where your legs are in front of you rather than below, steppers, and eliptical!

Eliptical absolutely KILLs me!!!! 15 minutes on it at a reasonable pace and I`m nothing but jello.

I`l stick with the bikes and steppers thanks!
