What's a fanny pack? Sounds scarry.

What's a fanny pack? Sounds scarry.

You know those packs that people wear around their waist.

 

[Katia7]

oh! I actually had to look it up on goodle
When I think of fanny, I think of .. so I got a little worried there.

 

[Jodi]

When you see a huge bodybuilder meathead in leopard print parachute pants and a sleeveless cutoff t-shirt wearing a fanny pack, you should be worried.

That's when I'd start walking into a different direction.

I know one of the reasons why he's an ex now

Funny that you mention the clothes. One of Steves co-workers went to Venice beach-Steve asked him to pick him up a Venice beach tank. He brought him back one of those shortie sleeveless sweat shirts, in a size L! Its huge, and tacky as hell.

I've seen those in my gym...ya very scary

 

[Jodi]

There is an old guy in my gym that dresses so bad that you just can't stand it and have to chuckle when you see him

Jodi ... the name of the bar in Vegas that had the witchdoctor drinks ...what was the name of it? I believe it was at the top of the Rio, or was it the palm?

 

[Jodi]

Voodoo Lounge - That was a fun bar

Man, that drink really got me and I can handle alcohol very well too.

 

[naturaltan]

what hotel was it at?

 

[Jodi]

The Rio.

2 Weeks ago I started Push/Pull again that Dante helped me with last year. It hasn't taken too long to build my strength back up and it's getting better but still behind a bit. All that matters is that I'm happier with my workouts and I feel good again.

So seeing I've decided to go on a mini-cut for a few weeks, it's time to be accountable again. Oh, so I guess I should say I had a pb cup and candy corn today Damn Halloween Candy I'll be carb cycling as usual and probably won't post my meals because they are the same each day. I will post my workouts though so I have something for comparison.

Push Day 1:

3 HS Bench: 100x8, 110x8, 115x8

What will the weather be like at the Olympia in Vegas?? Short and tanks?? Or just tanks??? Or long sleeve shirts?

 

[Jodi]

I don't know One day I'll be there and it's warm and then the next day it's cold. Around this time of year, you can't be sure.

Last year we were pretty lucky with the weather. We were there for 7 days and it wasn't until the very last day that we got a cool wind blowing. A few days after we got home, the Vegas weather got much more chilly. So you takes your chances.

 

[fantasma62]

Oh, how I love Vegas.....

No matter what the weather is, I still love the place....

Hi Jodi,

I hope all is well with you....I just came by to say hi and to check up on you to see how things are going....

Have a great day!!!!

 

[Jodi]

Hi Tony I'm doing great thanks

 

[Jodi]

Scott had his cholestrol checked and we got the results today. He is under 200 but his LDL is too high and HDL is too low.

Maybe he will start to listen to about his poor diet now because for a 30 year old, he should not be considered a risk for CHD.

If the volume appears excessive to anyone, remember that volume can be adjusted up or down; a push/pull can be arranged to fit many goals, whether size or strength, or a hybrid regimen for both.



Glad you're happy on both counts

So will a change in diet fix his cholestrol problem?

 

[Jodi]

Yes! He eats fine here at home but then he goes to work and eats like shit. We pack food for him but I know he at other things when he comes home with half of his packed food. Lots of sugar and shit like candy and donuts. Oh let's not forget pizza every other night

 

[naturaltan]

Is he worried about the results? At least he has you in his corner ... that is an absolute plus.

 

[Jodi]

Not as concerned as I am. He keeps saying you have to live life and enjoy it! And I keep responding that at the rate he's going he's not going to be here to live life to enjoy it.
