Muscle memory man youll be fine and back to where you before fast.

Thanks, man.

Wait a tick! I read in your journal about how hot your getting...is this a come on?

 

[DOMS]

Yeah Doms,, I took a little of your strength from ya,,, thought you wouldn't mind, seeing you're down by the river and all... probably skinny dipping

But all I had was a little...

honestly,, that is a great workout !

Thanks, katt!

 

[DOMS]

Whatever you say, man, things are looking good in here! You're consistent, and you KNOW what you've gotta do. Just keep that focus, and in no time youll be back up there.

Im in a similar situation, setbacks suck.

Thanks, Gaz. Yeah, I know we all have setbacks, but half the fun of those is being able to bitch.

Hows things outside the barbell?

Going mighty damn fine. I'm almost three weeks into my paper trading, which is going okay.

Oh, and I'm trying to start a running routine, too.

How about yourself?

 

[DOMS]

Despite on DOMS rage, he is still just a rat in a cage.

I'm loving the basic, compound work, bro.

Same here. Yet one more reason why I like the 5x5!

I stumble across this old post of mine:

I know I shouldn't, but I really looking forward to having a Democrat for President. He'll be similar to John Kerry and all that that implies. He'll be a kind gentle soul. He'll say all the politically correct things. He'll talk about how he abhors war and how he plans to pull out, and stay away, from all conflicts. He'll do whatever the UN tells him in the spirit of global cooperation. He'll kiss the babies and shake hand with the disabled. In short, he'll be the perfect, and superfluous, liberal president.

Then the attacks abroad will start. American's on vacation will be killed and the president will use harsh words on television. More Americans will be killed and the president will write a letter to the UN asking what to do. Serious words will be traded back and forth about what to do and the killings will go on.

Emboldened by their success, the enemy will, once again, launch an attack on American soil. Many Americans will die, perhaps in the thousands. The attack may be poison in the drinking system, a chemical weapon used at a large gathering, a dirty bomb, or maybe just the tried and true flying a plane into building. Whatever the weapon, many Americans will die. The liberal president will call for calm and say things like, "If we only reach out with love to these misunderstood people, the attacks will end." The politicians at the UN will harrumph for many days. Europeans will laud the US for it's moral fiber by not retaliating.

One can only hope that when an attack does come, that it will happen in one of the bastions of liberalism.

I hear San Francisco is a nice place to visit.

It's just good to see you keep at it DOMS. We all go forward then back a little then burst forward again. If it was easy there would be no fat asses. You being driven will just keep at it and get where you have decided you must go. Lol ... and we get to watch

I vote for Disney, especially during the summer on a very crowded day. That's what they get for holding me hostage and making me buy their water and charging me two dollars or more!

Im starting to do a bit of cardio lately aswell. Im tired of being overly chubby .

Im basically 190 now though, even thouh i had a month off and i didnt put on THAT much visible fat

Other than that, yeah. Things are pretty sweet my CD should be finished in another 6-8 months too!

I actually did that the other day,,, dropped my weight and racked off as many as I could... man, it was a great way to uber fatigue the legs!

 

[Gazhole]

I guess its just a method of post-exhaust?

I do like to share my trials with like-minded people.

It's all part of the 5x5 Mad Cow variant. I figure it's too reach even a few more fibers. It's feels great.

Week 3, Day 1: Mr Popular...

Aren't I the popular one? I was interrupted numerous times during this workout. Phone calls and people at the door. My workout should have taken about 40 minutes. Instead, it took an hour and a half.

My Squats still suck a bit, but everything else is coming along. I think I'm going to add some supportive work into my routine next time.

I was going to start my jogging today, but I had too much going on. I'd like to give a big thanks to bigsahm21 for his helpful PM.

As usual, I spent 2 minutes achieving oneness with the universe between sets.

Oh, and I ran across this post from one of my biggest fans.

DOMS is a great guy, but sometimes you want to stab him in the eye with a fork.

 

[DOMS]

Screw it. I was about to go to sleep and then I remembered something that I'd said to myself, in regards to not letting anything stop me from working out, "That shit ends today."

So I put on my running clothes, laced up my Mizunos, and went for a jog. I did forget my stopwatch, but, based on the songs I was listened to, the 1 mile jog took about 12.5 minutes. I jogged about a third of that and walked the rest. Not great, but a decent start.

 

[Witchblade]

Your row more than you bench.

Week 3, Day 2: The Short Bus

I'm pretty sure I take the short bus to my workouts. Yet again, I did T-Bar Rows instead of Deads. I've cheated myself twice. On the up side, my T-Bars are getting better.

To make up for it, I pushing back my next workout and I'm going to do a Day of Deads. Nothing but dead, every set, every rep! Standard & Romanian! w00t!

As usual, I spent two minutes running into the walls between sets.
