Hi there

Are you using the TUT principle that is currently THE way of killing delts??

 

[lina]

Are you referring to Gopro's post? Tell me puleez!!! I need to work those delt, my weakest link!!!!

 

[kuso]

No.....LAM`s!!!!!!

He said, and a lot agree that it`s not the weight thats important for shoulders ( lat head ) but the Time Under Tension!!!!!!!

I`m a bit drunk right now, so you`d be advised to do a search, but he said either 1 rep takes 10 seconds with a 2 second pause at the top....or ten seconds up...2 sec pause and 10 seconds down.... this is for lat raises.!!!!!

 

[lina]

OH, YEAH?!!! I'll try that one!!! kuso, you're a sweet heart!!!! Thanks!!!! Oh I love you drunk, you get so funny!!!!

[lina]

No...hehe... I was thinking more bout your other previous posts! Yeah, don't we all want to be loved?

Hope you feel better!!! Drowning yourself with drink won't be the answer you know....

BTW, congrats on reclaiming your status of being THE Post Whore Star again!

 

[kuso]

LOL....actually...I regressed....I made a picture thread Thats prolly what gave me the #1 possy

 

[dvlmn666]

yeah it did, no matter how much I hang out here I can never get that spot. lmao

But I think he has alot about the TUT in his journal on here.

Gmorning by the way.

 

[Eggs]

Hey Lina! Yep, lots of people getting heavy... kinda cool to be ahead of the game in the way you eat and lift huh?

I was just looking at what you ate last. I drooled on my keyboard. Okay, cleaned it up

Well, hope you have a great weekend!

 

[tgkfour1]

Lina, thanks ofr stopping into my journal again....
You were AWOL- I was beginning to doubt the love

 

[tgkfour1]

Hey- glad to see your strenghth is growing. How is the Beverly stuff treating you?

And since you are checking the other people out..... do you feel yourself staring at other women? any in particular?

Inquiring minds need to know- feel free to put in in the coffee shop so that the purity of your journal remains.......

By the way, I too have noticed that almost all of the population of men out there, excluding us on this site have bellies. We are a very inactive population.

 

[lina]

Hi guys!

kuso, how you holding out buddy?!!!! Hope you had a good night sleep and your head doesn't hurt tooooo much!

Hi dvlmn!! Missed you this morning and was busy all day so finally able to rest and surf tonight! How are ya?

Eggs!!! Good to see you here!!! What are you doing here around this time? What time difference is it from here to Italy?

tgkfour!! Feeel the luuuuvv hon!!! Ofcourse I was only checkin' out the girlies, we girls are very competitive and wanna see how we measure up ... no heck lots of nice bods around, guys and gals, mostly not our age, but young teenagers....sigh, to be young again and have young bodies!!

 

[kuso]

Morning hon.....I`m back, hangover free , but the cold hasn`t gotten any better ( surprise surprise ) thinking wether to just suck it up and hit the gym, or wait til Monday

 

[lina]

Oh, poor thing!!! Is it just your nose or is your head hurtin? Congested? Well glad you are hangover free! atleast that'll help some!

Doesn't hurt to take a rest day you know.... butt don't go drinking away....!!!!!

 

[kuso]

Actually, it`s only my throat and a little congestion.

BTW....I saw you rented Fight CLub.....hope you enjoy it, I`m sure your husband will....but don`t let your kids watch it

 

[lina]

Well then go to the gym you wuss!!!! J/K

Thanks kuso, will watch it when they are sleeping! We'll see what you guys are raving about! It's probably a guys movie not a chick flick!

 

[kuso]

I think a guy`s movie it is But hopefully you`ll enjoy it.......if not, it`s dvlmn`s fault

 

[lina]

Yeah, let's blame him since he's not here to defend himself! But what da heck at least I can drool over Brad Pitts body, right! So I didn't waste my $3.99 at all! hehe!!

What you doing this weekend? We'll probably go to my sister in laws since she just moved to her new house and maybe a beach day on Sunday... Nice sunny weekend here! woohoo! !!

 

[kuso]

I`m not sure to be honest. My wife and daughter are going out with my wifes friend and kids this arvo.....leaves me free probably go down the street to get my DSL appliction started.

Tomorrow there is nothing planed that I know of............well, there probably is, but no doubt forgotten

Beach sounds good. But the don`t "open" over here for another month or so.......and they are SO dirty you wouldn`t want to swim anyway.

 

[lina]

arvo - does that mean 'evening'? you aussie?

We just got our DSL recently too! I love it!!

I'm suprised the beaches are dirty there, everything else is so clean! Whatsup with that? Pollution washing ashore?

 

[kuso]

Sorry, arvo means Afternoon

Looking forward to dsl and a new pc

Very little is clean over here......I know it has that image but it`s really is a filthy country ( I don`t mean that in any bashing way.....just as a fact ).

There is a company in my town that dumped something like 10000 gallons of poison into the local river about 4 weeks ago...the river was PURPLE ...the company was fined about $500..........

The beach has twice the problems....the water is filthy ( probably all those chemical companies ) and the beach itself it covered in bottles, bottle tops, cigarette butts, food scraps etc etc.

One thing most of the "Gaijin" over here laugh about is that the Japanes people are clean to the point of having a bacteria phobia, but the country itself is so dirty and nobody cares

 

[lina]

Holy Friggin Schmoly!!! That IS so hard to believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is the common sense to all that? That makes me angry !!! I see what the big corporations get away with!!

I see a little bit of that on our little Caribbean island where there's a big oil refinery too and they pollute the air and the water too... I'm hoping that doesn't happen the same. Butt tourism is so big on the island that they probably have the Tourism Board after them.

 

[kuso]

Make me pretty angry too. The Gov here will protect the economy at all costs....never the consumer.

We have had the Mad cow thing here since Sept last year and they have yet to recall any meat products. The only thing they did was buy back any unpackaged meat, which they have now found out that what the bought back was the cheaper IMPORTED meat, and they contaminated Japanese beef was sold Conpanies punishment.....the manager was fired....thats all!!!

 

[Eggs]

You still ticked off about the Kuso? Yeah, I guess I wouldnt be laughing either if someone was selling meat that could kill my family.

Hmm, fight flub is a good movie. I wouldnt call it exactly a guy flick, hopefully the women would appreciate it as well and perhaps apply it to real life. Alot of people dont notice that many men out there are lost and looking for something... not happy with working 60 hour weeks at a desk, driving a couple hours to work and back each day, living the shallow - meaningless life which seems to be all the rage these days, etc. I'm not saying that women dont feel this as well, in todays society I bet they do more and more. But I'm still waiting for a Girls Fight Club to come out Sorry about that Getting a little carried away. Seriously though, movie has some good undertones beneath the violence and general mayhem. Hope you enjoy it.

Well, I was thinking of visiting Japan in a year or two Kuso, but with all that crazy stuff over there I think I'll skip. Japan gets a big for that one.

Lina - Enjoy your weekend.

 

[lina]

kuso, no wonder meat is so expensive in Japan right? I guess everything is expensive there.. I'm with Eggs, dunno if I'm going to visit there soon unless I have lots of cash lying around and could afford it! Must be very expensive habit to be into bodybuilding with all the supplements and food one has to buy? Anyways, I guess wherever we are there is no 'perfect' place we just have to make the best of it all, right hon?

Eggs, About fight club, yes I know there are lots of men out there lost and looking for something, but does it have to involve violence? There are lots of other ways to connect with each other. Maybe no matter how sophisticated we humans have become we still go back to being cavemen and grunt, grobe and fight...and that's why the caveman's diet is so popular? Hehe, still working on my coffee this morning so my brain is not fully functioning yet..

 

[Burner02]

Morning Lina!
Seems you are one of the only other people on here this morning.
Seeings as I have never 'spoken' with you before...where are you? Carribean?

[lina]

Hey Burner!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!! Love visitors!

I'm in the U.S but off to the Carribean...in 6 days! Yep, need a cabana boy!! Good idea! Last time I went to the beach I slathered the suntan lotion on my kids but forgot myself... that'll be your job ...and shlepping my kids' stuff to the beach... hehe ! Mexico? Never been but someday...

Thanks for the compliment! Now I've got to get my butt to da gym!

 

[Burner02]

wahooo! cabana nanny!
Hey, as long as I get my ride to the beach!

I am without children...(much to my mother's discontent..she wants grandchildren)
I usually get to play with friends kids.

You live on teh west coast or east coast now?
I just found out that my company might be taking over a contract for an Air Force base in California. (I was stationed there when I was active duty) if the contract comes in...I want that position! I miss the ocean!

I am waiting for tomorrow to go back to the gym. I restrained tendons/ligaments in my right wrist form a snowoarding accident last weekend, and am letting it heal.

When are you going?

 

[Burner02]

well, I guess I can READ.....6 days. that must be great! I've got 5 months.
I found out that we leave on my birthday. I told my friend and wife that since this is true, they should PAY for my trip, right?

Why are you laughing too???
