Solid workout, Akira!

Did you not have allergies before?

 

[AKIRA]

Tallcall, yeah, where the fuck is he? I am SICK and I am still working out. In any case, you can not workout and still post. Thanks for stopping in.

BC, yeah its coming down to a point of doing something new. Time is such a killer though. For instance, today is my day off from everything, yet I have so much to do. I have to do certain things before others, e.g. bank before getting a helmet cuz the bank closes earlier. I am also going to try to make it to the school's Florida Gym to study the bones. That might help out TONS.

In all reality, I enjoy being at the school. I have the least amount of anxiety there, as if I feel like, I have a LIFE. However, I think of wanting to go home and be lazy. Everyone feels that though.

I did grab a "RecSports" event catalog on my way out of the gym.

 

[AKIRA]

Solid workout, Akira!

Did you not have allergies before?

I always wanted to think I never got them, but if I did, then Id have to think I was always getting a "cold." Cant beat the facts though. Allergies dont last as long for me, plus they are not as intense as actual colds.

I find that a lot of people dont even want to think about possibly having allergies. I guess cuz they think theyd have to take something extra for it? I dont know. I would rather admit to having allergies than admit of being someone that gets sick all the time from not washing his/her hands.

Thanks, today was a good day though!

Right leg? Well...read on..

Single Legged Calf Press

Static Stretched

I took a step back (well, to the side) and raised the reps, lowered the intensity, but the rests remained the same cuz of my coldish allergies. My cardio was bad today, so I had to take it easy.

Unilateral was a lot better. Can go to 4 plates.

Step ups? What the fuck was I thinking?! Why did I do these when I was fatigued? Well, needless to say, I choose a whobbly bench to begin with, but I said, eh fuck it. When I went to do my right leg, my right foot just lost balance and down I went. I made a big spectacle of myself amongst the people using idiotic form. Jesus, did I look like the cream of the crop today. Miraculously, I didnt get injured nor was anyone near me. My ankle got the worst of it, but damn was this humiliating.

 

[Burner02]

way to go, tiger!

heh...like...I've never done anything....embarrassing before....

I was reading your lunges...I had a 'sick' idea...guess it would be like...farmer walks?

Grab...say 100's or more DB's...and just walk from one length of gym to the next...would that be beneficial?
Trying to think of all the muscles that would come into play:
legs
forearms (grip)
traps
anything else?

Hey, we all do something like that. Simply by virtue of pushing ourselves.

Heh, I remembered this exchange on Married with Children:

*After Al did something stupid*
Kelly: There he goes again, make a testicle out of himself!
Bud (laughing): No...no Kelly. I think you mean "spectacle".
Kelly: No, I mean testicle.

 

[katt]

Yeah, everyones done something... we sure have had our time of humiliation...

what do you do?? Just laugh it off and go on

 

[tallcall]

Yeah, when I accidentally rammed my head into the peck deck machine twice while wiping it down, I just looked around for a second and laughed about it and said whoopsie. I just kept laughing as I walked away.

Oh, and I love farmers walks. I do them at the end with 85 or 90 pound db's. I usually feel it all in my arms, traps, and legs. I just walk up one length of the gym (~50-60 steps) drop them and deadlift them from the ground and start back (I like repeating 3 or 4 times). If you lunge forward while doing them, it gets a lot more interesting!

 

[AKIRA]

Thanks for feeling my pain! God damn, everytime I think about it, I get uneasy. I did laugh right after I did it though. I asked the kid that helped me up: Did that look really bad? He says: Not as bad as it was loud. See, I didnt know cuz i had my mp3 player on and it disconnected when I landed.

Day got better though. I got to take a hottie home from school AND she friend requested me on facebook! What does this mean?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

 

[Triple Threat]

If all the other people have as crappy form as you say, they probably won't even notice your mishap. Now, had you run out of the gym crying, then you'd most likely wind up being the object of some ridicule.

 

[AKIRA]

I am really surprised I didnt get hurt. But it seemed that I had a SHITLOAD of bad luck at an instant.

I was fatigued from my cold/allergies.
My legs were whobbly from the previous exercises.
The bench I used was whobbly.
My balance gave out at the same time the last 3 occurred.

My right leg has always had some odd balance ever since I herniated my disk. Sometimes it will just 'go out' and Ill almost drop. Well, that happened too.

All in all, I did better than I thought considering that I was blowing my nose after every exercise. Now, I am feeling a bit better.

 

[tallcall]

^ See man, at least something good happened. It's good to hear that you're feeling a bit better!

 

[Burner02]

ok...one of my 'best' dummy things I did in the gym:
...there I was...
(this was about 5 years ago)
I had just moved over from World Gym to 24 hour fitness.
It was later in the evening...(luckily)
I just got done with a set of pull downs. I pushed myself back from the knee pad...right off the seat and landed on my back!
(I had forgotten that the seat on this pul down machine was about a foot SHORTER than the one I'd been used to working out on)
So, I'm on m y back..and the only thing I could do...was laugh at myself...and got back up, took my rest and got my next set in.

Stuff happens.

haha, that happend to me too, in peak time. I should of been embarrassed, but I found it as funny as everyone else.

Also, have fallen off the bench (light weight at that point thankfully), and been throw of a treadmill when I tripped on it and got ejected off the end.
Was'nt laughing that much on that occasion, cuz it was pretty painful. I also looked a complete tool.

 

[AKIRA]

I laughed when I fell...no one laughed with me. Fucking bunch of blockheads, here.

5 min warm up
6 sets of lvl 8, 25 sec sprints, w/1 minte inbetween
5 min cool down

HR=170-180? I was fucking burning!

Static Stretched


I dropped the rests cuz my days in the gym need to get shorter. Plus, I love this shit. 70s can go to 75s.

T-bar row has replaced DB Rows, cuz I havent had a very different horizontal pull in a while, so its a much needed change. This was too easy, 3 plates+ here I come.

I was going to do weighted dips, but since I was already ditting down, I grabbed the 65s. This was easy until my "bonus round." Keeping your arm extended is a bitch.

Curls were basic. When I did the last set of the hammers, I did the left side completely FIRST, then the right's.

I wanted to do some holds, but my stop watch is started to fuck up, so I blended the desire for shrugs with grip. My shrug numbers were too low, but I dont care, I figured the holds were almost 30 sec.

Cardio was 'off' today. My legs burned really bad and thats a new one. I wasnt out of breath (thats why the HR was done huh) as much as I used to be, but I really didnt want to do this shit today.

I felt strong today. Even my balance was 100%. DB RDLs can go up! Its either that or increase reps...so I dont know.

GMs went down slightly, but so did rests. I increased the reps too. This was good. I mustve looked like I had some good 'fucking' strength, literally.

The Glute-Ham shit was a bit weird. THOSE OF YOU THAT DO THIS A LOT, PLEASE CHIME IN...Stewart? Anyway, as I raise my body until about half-way, my quads are pressed really hard against the cushion. It was extremely distracting. I I wasnt too far away from the ankle supports, believe me. One more notch away and my knees wouldnt touch the pads. Should I move it forward some more (making the distance between the ankle supports and quads cushions shorter)? I did lower the ankle supports and that helped a little, but who knows.

Calves were top notch, as always. Behind the seated calf, is a foot raise. The concentric portion of the movemnt is a dorsiflexion of the ankle, like youre standing on just your heels. Anyway, I hardly did this cuz I get this pain when I do cardio...

Cardio was just that...cardio.

Ughhhhh I was so tired to day! I dont normally go to the gym this late, but I know how people dont work out on Fridays for some reason, plus my mid-workout shift was taken out for STUDYING!

Anyway, I wanted to do Barbells, but they were all taken. I fucked up. I wanted to do 4 sets of 8-10 reps, but instead I grabbed the heavy ones first. By the time I realized I needed to do something else (cuz of the shorter RIs), I was fatigued. Good workout though.

Pullups were AWESOME. Shit...My brachiradialis were screaming.

I tried to do close grip pullups, but FUCK THAT. So I opted for the machine. This is where I really started to get tired.

Skullcrushers may be my favorite exercise for tris. I like close grip benches, but I needed a switch up.

Cardio was supposed to be HIIT, but I kept the intensity low and the RPMs just a little slower than usual. HR was about 170. 19 minutes total. Here i was feeling hungry.

 

[goob]

Good work. 5 sets of OH Presses, that got to hurt.

 

[AKIRA]

It was accidental..sort of. The first 50s were supposed to be a warm up, thus I fucked up.

 

[AKIRA]

I got laid last night.

 

[MCx2]

I got laid last night.

NICE!

New chick? Or the one you dated before? Either way, good shit.

 

[tallcall]

Alright, Akira!

 

[DOMS]

I got laid last night.

Here's hoping that she's a screamer. They're the best.

Nice work.

Ok, being the upstanding gentleman you are....

SHE WAS A SCREAMER!!!!! AND IT SUCKED. "OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYY GOOOOOD"

I was laughing so hard in the pillow. I laughed so hard, my hard on took a break.

Nice work.

Well, we were drunk as fuck. The only thing I had to drink at my apartment was goldschlagger. In any case, because of her screaming, I couldnt finish.

No tits...and average looks Id say.

She is the nicest person and the first person that actually genuinely took an interest in me. I mean, she came over last night with a white fake rose, a UF hat, and two bottles of waters. I like little things like that. She didnt have to do that, but she did. It made me feel warm and cuddly....then I was pissed cuz she didnt bring Miller.

Oh..and I think she sucked dick like a champ. I was so fucking gone though..

By the way, UF lost.

Man I can't believe that Auburn beat UF again!

At least UCF won it's game, now I think we're 2 wins and 1 loss (that's a nice improvement over years past).

Now that UF and FSU are having problems, is USF the best team in Florida?

 

[katt]

I'm thinking that you don't like screamers..??

At least you got laid, which was good -

 

[Burner02]

you are in Miami, right?
I've been kicking around the idea of taking a road trip to see if I'd like it there...how miserable is the humidity in the summer? That's my biggest concern...Im not huge on humidity...
