I know it sucks huh? We took 2 weeks off totally from the gym/cardio and my first day back to Zumba class I was saying the exact same thing!

We could market a 12 step program... make a few $$$ for trips

Look at the bright side... . . ... . . . . .. . . .

Anywhere in the world you haven't seen yet Burner, which you would really like to?

Hey-
right now: travel for work.
Mid feb: Switzerland for a week and then Thailand for 10 days.

went to the gym yesterday:
15 min: elliptical, 5 sets bench press @ 135 *12, 5 sets BO BB Rows @ 135*10

Today:
10 min Elliptical, 5 sets squats @ 135 *12 reps, leg press: 4 sets @ 360*10, followed on bike for 15 minutes

SUCKS STARTING BACK.....Note to self:
STOP NOT GOING TO THE GYM, YOU LAZY FAT FUQ!

I'm sure there's a 12step program out there for me....

Good looking workout Mike! You don't need a 12 step program. It's a ONE step program...... it's called consistency

 

[Burner02]

Hey all!
Thanks JD! Working on it!

Jags! Now I gotta keep you from weighing less than me...

KATT! How about....like a bark collar for a dog....a 'reminder bracelet'? You imput your workout schedule into the bracelet...if at the appointed time you do not have an elevated heart rate (to show you are working out) you get a friendly little electric reminder that you aren't where you belong....

 

[Burner02]

Where did I leave off....
a couple days ago:
warm up: elliptical: 15 minutes...(dam near killed me with my sore legs)
Seated mil press
Close grip suppinated grip Pull Ups: 5 sets of 5
Cable Lateral raise: 3 sets of 10 @ 10 reps
BO Lateral Cable Raise: 3 sets of 10 @ 10 reps
Cybex? Pull Down


Today:
Warm up: elliptical: 15 min (a little better)
Inc DB Bench Press: 3 sets light, 3 sets heavy
In DB Rows: 3 sets light, 3 sets heavy
DB Bench Press: 3 sets heavy, 3 sets light
DB Rows: 3 sets heavy, 3 sets light
Dec Bench Press: 135*20, *10
Seated Cable Row: 2 sets: 100*12

That was a little better...still took too long...

plenty!
Ive not really been to your neck of the woods, Dave-
If I take the 15 day Harley tour thru Europe, it starts in England.
I will probably get there a couple 2-3 days beforehand to look around London. be cool to meet up for a beer!

When I am done here...if I had not mentioned...I may look into going to Korea. Still great pay...easy travel and up my experience level.
I'd probably go to India for a couple 2-3 months to update and add IT certs to my resume before going...

Friend of mine is there now. Says japan, Thailand, China, etc...are all easy access from there...so will have much adventure.
Be nice to get the eff outta this place...live like a normal human being again...

so...you are short...and short tempered...
I do like the idea of 'settling down', finding someone..but it hasn't seemed to be in the cards for me thus far...so guess will continue the adventure.

A friend of mine has been in Bali....wow....another place on the 'to-go' list.
he's going to Russia this summer tothe largest drop zone in Europe. Asked if I wanted to go....man...I so DO! BUT! That is the time I'm supposed to be taking that 15 day Euro trek on a Harley...
Dam...decisions!

Oh..and I am sore! Legs STILL sore...and its time to hit them again....
so....bring it!

 

[davegmb]

Hey burner I'm way up north in Liverpool, but I'm down London myself for a month through July and August. I'm looking forward to going the big smoke!

[Burner02]

Well, guess who is alive...and has access to the site again...wahoo!
...about 4 weeks till I hit the beaches of Thailand again. (cheap and supposedly,the sky diving LZ is supposed to be reopened so can finish my license)
Did NOT do the motorcycle ride thru Europe. Too $$$...I'm working on my 'exit strategy' here.

 

[Burner02]

well, got back from R&R...started my first early am walk...to build up to run and then...Insanity....5 mins into it, I rolled my mother effing ankle on a mother effing rock.
Try again tomorrow.
6 months till next R&R and want to be looking a LOT leaner than I am now...

 

[yellowmoomba]

[Burner02]

[yellowmoomba]

Yo.....you still alive

 

[Burner02]

Hwy Moomba! I am! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Still here in Afghan. How's things?

 

[yellowmoomba]

Good to hear I'm still lifting 4 days a week.

Haven't seen many regulars in a while. Not sure if they migrated to a new board.

 

[Burner02]

Hey brotha! Sorry....nope. No other boards. This is 'home'. I've just been a slacking POS for a while. Start, stop, start....I'm on 'start mode' again. Wish I could attend a 'YM' bootcamp to get back on my game again! Always get fired up reading your workouts, my friend. Will start posting again soon. Any plans for Christmas? I'm still here, so hopefully, last Christmas away from family.

Hey B -

Pick a program and just do it It's funny you mentioned a bootcamp. I started training a guy in my neighborhood on the weekends just for fun. I had him over on Christmas eve. We did a garage workout. Lots of BW exercises, some jump roping and heavy bag training. It's a nice change of pace from the gym. My wife is also running a "bootcamp" style training at her gym. I got her a sandbag for her bday. She loves to "terrorize" - I mean train - the local ladies.......LOL

Christmas was good. We spoiled the kids as usual. My Christmas present will be coming in the spring. We are buying a new Wakeboard board (probably a Moomba). Heading to the Michigan boat show in February to wheel and deal (and most likely order another yellow one).

Good to see you still around .... now get your ass back in the gym

Oh yeah - Merry Christmas LOL

 

[Burner02]

ha! Way to go! Be the light to and for others! Glad y'all had a good Christmas! Can't wait to see pics of the new boat! I picked up my friend's jetskis for cheap in AZ....am now gonna have to get out of here...get there and run 'em!
