Damn nitrotech bars are fricken addicting eh? I got hooked on the smores myself, but I can't find a store here in this city that sells them so I'm off the hook untill summer? So how is everything going with ya?

Yeah and alot easier than dragging protein powder and a shaker to intereviews. But will resist again, I had been before. Tomorrow I find out if I get to be a trainer at 24hr Fitness. If I don't pass then I'm gonna get a seasonal job to get money in through christmas, and work on my resume during that time, and see if I can get a tech job again.

I like being a computer tech, but the money just isnt' there with all the people who got laid off lately.

About damn time you showed up in hereflipoff: Was starting to wonder what the deal was.

Looks like a good workout. Weights are good. Keep 'em the same and work on getting the reps up.

 

[dvlmn666]

So the Hammer Low Rows are ok instead of the Seated Cable Rows? I just guessed on that, I figured it was either those or Single Arm Dumbell Rows

And thanks for the tips on the deads. That was the first time doing them, and I can tell my lower back needs to catch up but I also felt them through my whole back. I liked them.

 

[Twin Peak]

Also, make sure your feet aren't too wide, if they are you'll be doing more of a sumo dead, which will hit the lower back harder.

As to the hammers....you don't have much choice. Cables are better but do that for now. Next routine you can add in dumbbell rows.

Man, A guy can't get a little slack around here Maybe if someone told me about a new journal I would have been here sooner

Those deads are killer eh? I 'm trying to get at 'em every week, or at least every other. Is it a good idea to do drop sets on them, or is that too hard on the back?

Damn that would be a sweet job, good luck with that bro I remember you saying something about maybe trying to bounce, still an option?

 

[dvlmn666]

Yeah IT I should have mentioned it in the other journal

Yeah loved the deads, my old training partner never wanted to do them. And he usually convinced me it would make my lower back hurt so I didn't push him to do them.

Drop sets might be good every once in a while every workout probably wouldn't be that great for the lower back, but I've been talking with TP and workingout this strategy. So I'm doing straight sets and the same exercises for 6 weeks then changing it up again. Me and Jeff had been doing almost all machines and smith rack work. So he's helping me switch to almost all free weights. And I'm liking it so far, bench is about the only thing that bugs me because the diff is so much without a spotter and a smith rack. lol But I'll work on it, and get the numbers up there.

TP, it better not be to sore tomorrow, I have to do squats on Thursday. lol But yeah this morning I'm feeling it big time.

I don't know about you but after a good set I can't breath, let alone start stripping plates and doing more.

Thanks for the good luck wishes, I'll find out today but he's a pain in the ass, tomorrow. The manager there is an asshole, but oh well if I get it after a few months can transfer to a sport one so I can play basketball during my breaks.

Yeah, but not sure how to go about finding a place for that. They don't exactly advertise those jobs in the paper.

got any advice?

 

[irontime]

Yup, first thing you should do is go hang out at a few bars and pick the one that you like the best, no point trying to work at a bar that you don't like. Then get some sort of rusume as to why you should be a bouncer, do not put in your average resume about wanting to continue in computers, as that will not get you a job. Talk about being good with people, a calm temper (bosses for bars love this, as you are supposed to be able to talk to people instead of just dragging their ass out).

This part is important, do not try getting a job at midnight when you are drunk. I fricken hate it when guys come up to me with a beer in their hand and talk to me about getting a job, there is no way in hell that I hire anybody who does that. I hired the guys that came up to me early in the night (less busy), sober and had a serious conversation. This shows a lot more class and will greatly increase your chances. Hope that helps, did i miss anything?

When you open up a forum there are yellow or grey letters on the right side of the threads, if there is a black dot on that letter that means you have posted in that thread.

Hope that helps bro, I know I always get a kick when I read resumes with goals of people wanting to continue their career in Heavy Oil industry, or something else I just wonder how the fuck that is supposed to get them a job as a bouncer.

SORRY D... DIDN'T KNOW U WERE PISSY TOOO EARLIER! Hope things get better for ya babe!

psssst.. please don't kill anyone..we can chat if your in jail

 

[irontime]

We can chat if he's in jail? I knew that they were getting it pretty easy in there but now they are getting the net? Damn. I gotta commit me a crime!

So what's wrong bro? I'm guessing that it's not good news about the job at 24 hour fitness if you are so pissed off.

 

[dvlmn666]

Frustration with the manager there. Wed the test was supposed to get scored, and instead of him telling me he'd call me, he has me call him.

So of course I do, and he's like "ok we have to look up your score on the computer and I'll call you back"

so being patient I wait until 2:00, origional call was at 11:00. And left a message and another hour goes by and the fuqer didn't call. In fact he didn't call at all!!

In the mean time Best Buy (electronics store) had a job fair and I'd been waiting to find out about the job at 24hr so I didn't go, and they filled all the positions.

So today I called twice in the morning and the fuqer won't ever call me back. Then finally at 5:00 tonight I got him on the phone and turns out they just haven't found the score out yet, and today was closing for there month.

It's not so much it getting drug out that pisses me off, it's how totally unprofessional the fuqer is. At least call me back to let me know that the score isnt' there yet and I'll have to wait til the next day. you know common courtesy.

So the saga goes, and tomorrow at 11 he said he'd be there and at the computer to check while i'm on the phone again.
