I know that everyone preaches heavy heavy weights, low low reps, but that has never worked for me. When I do my reps I do them very slowly and it takes about 3 seconds to do one rep. I go down, hold, and back up and by the 25th rep the pain is excruciating. This is how I did my shoulders. I would take 15lb dumbbells with my arms straight out to the side, I would even do arm circles with the dumbbells straight out. I do 15 or more reps on my shoulders.

Next week I will go heavy on legs. This may look like any easy workout on legs, but I have people look at me and say I am nuts.

I didn't get calves in yesterday, no time. Today I am going to try chest and shoulders.

 

[esmerelda]

Can I try your chest and shoulders for you!!!! Mine just arnt as much fun!!! Hey if you really want...I'll give you a rub down with warm oils after you finish...just to take your mind off the pain!!!!

I did kick boxing today. What is it with you women that you like to torture us men.

 

[esmerelda]

You need to ask this???? Were you pressent when your lovely wife had those kids???? You still need to ask why we like to make you suffer just a little.....in short periods of time...when we had like at least 4 hrs of non-stop pain?????

Actually...we like to watch the expressions on your faces.....first its the....'Oh my god she has to be kidding' look....closely followed by the 'Not on your nellie Im not doing that' look.....then the flushed red face quickly followed by the 'I can't let her see this is killing me' look.....Then the final one....'Im a man...Im a man... thank god thats finished' look!!!! *And thats just the warm-up!!!!*

 

[craig777]

Essy,

I was present when my ex had our kids. I wasn't there when my wife had her kids. Does that count.

I think you are right though, I did a boot camp class on Saturday morning. Lasted an hour and 15 minutes. It was taught by the same woman that teaches the kick boxing class. The whole time, and I mean the whole time she is screaming at me to push it harder, and harder, and the women in the class she tells them, oh you are doing so good, you look so good, keep it up. Me, she screams c'mon Craig you can do better than that. Move it, move it.

At one point I thought I might throw up.

I also planted about a zillion plants this weekend. I think all the men on my block hate me.

 

[craig777]

Well they had my 18 year old step son go to a hotel last night, and they were going to get him up at 4:00 this morning to go see the psychologist. If everything goes well this morning, they will swear him in by the end of the week.

 

[craig777]

I am going to do legs today. I think I will go heavier than I have been.

 

[kuso]

Kick ass buddy!!

I`m off to do legs in the morning too

 

[craig777]

I will try, I think legs is my most loved and hated workout.

 

[esmerelda]

He he hee....Boot camp eh???? How would you like to come and join me in a boob camp!!!! Yep...it'll be longer than that girlie camp you went on...and I do promise to yell at you to push it harder and longer than the others....but somehow I doubt you'll wanna throw up!!!!!! *Just cant help herself!!!!*

 

[esmerelda]

Well it sounds like the mighty man...your stepson...is about to get a taste of the real world!!!! Hope all goes well for you....he deserves to get in......and be beaten back into being a real person again!!!! Please let your wife know.....Im praying all goes well....for hersake......and his!!!

You will be yelling harder, longer, deeper, c'mon Craig. You can do it. I think I like your boob camp better.

Thank sucks... and their reason would be????

 

[Twin Peak]

Sorry to hear about your stepson. I hope some alternatives work out.

 

[craig777]

Well, this is as much as I know since I don't hear a lot of what is going on anymore.

The recruiter told him that he had to be off the aderal (ADHD) for over a year, which he has, so he took his test and scored high enough, took his physical and passed it, but had to wait until he saw the Air Force psychologist which the recruiter told him was just a formality. Well the recruiter put him in a hotel last Sunday, so that they could get him up at 4:00 in the morning to see the psychologist. Now my guess is there is a purpose to this, he will be tired and the psychologist knows just what to ask him to bring out the worst in him. After it was all done, the psychologist told him he had to have been off the aderal since age 12. Well why would the Air Force go through all of that to put him up in a hotel, get him up at 4:00 just to tell him that. They knew from the start that he has been off since last March. My guess is that his stellar personality came shining forth.

I guess he could try the Army, but he doesn't want to be in the Army. He wants the Air Force. So what does that leave him, he works part time at O'Reily Auto Parts. He barely, and I mean barely passed high school. so college is out. I guess he will have to ask O'Reily if he can go to work full time with benefits, get a little apartment, and start his career.

His dad wants to sue everyone now. He wants to sue the school system because they suggested putting him on aderal to start with. He wants to sue the Air Force because the recruiter told him he had to be off a year. He probably wants to sue my wife for putting him on it at all.

 

[Sosunni]

Craig, I'm sorry.

It's possible that he can go to a jr college but he has to want to. Hopefully, some day he'll find the tools necessary to have a better carreer than a cashier at a parts store.

I wish there was something more I could say.

 

[craig777]

Thanks sugar,

There really is nothing to say. We tried and tried to tell him, but he knew best. He has a long, hard road ahead of him.

 

[esmerelda]

Sorry there wont be any drinking sessions with ya'...actually maybe we should!!!!

I think you may find that your first hunch was right...he showed his true colours!!! As for something else for the darlin' to do... I would let him fall a little further first before trying to offer any assistance!!!! He has just come face to face with his own limits, could be a very good thing!!! As for his father.....I believe we now get a really good picture of what your poor wife had to put up with......my heart goes out to her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey......cant you send him off to the Foreign Legion!!!!! JK!!!

Well.. for what it's worth. I never graduated from HS... only got my GED about 6 years later... and I was kicked out at 17, had 7 jobs in a year... I'm sure I've said it before.

It's a time thing... and he has to NOT want to be that person.

Prayers with you Hon!

[esmerelda]

Hey Sussi-girl....how about we set up a rehab program???? We send all the darlin's to you .......and you can whip them into shape!!!!! Lol....I think you'd be a great Drill Sergent at Boobie Camp........ermmmmmm recon you'd fit into the uniform????? Actually part of the deal is that you ALMOST fit into the uniform!!!! But you get to yell at all the men you like...and dish out unfair and nasty punishment as you see fit!!!!!

 

[craig777]

OK, I have a second so I want to post an update, and I also want to apologize to all for giving false info, but it is what I got.

The psychologist told my stepson that he was disqualified because of the aderal. That was all he needed to hear to have a fit, both him and his dad. He told my wife and I that he had been disqualified and his military career was over before it started.

Now the real story from the recruiter. I should have just called to start with.

The psychologist examined my stepson to see if he could function in the Air Force, which he determined that he could, but due to the requirements he had to disqualify him, had no other choice. That part is true, but he was also going to write a recommendation for a waiver which he did write saying that he thought my stepson could be in the Air Force. Now the paper work to see if the waiver is accepted takes 7 days, so we will know if he is in next Monday. The recruiter said I told him all this and how it would happen. I told him it would take 7 days for the paper work to go through, and that they were trying for a waiver. Do teenage boys listen, NO.

Sorry for the bad info.

I am not working out today, I am tired.

Oh, Essy the Boobie camp sounds great.
