it's funny ... as I get older, I seem to go even harder. I think it's because I'm making up for lost time as a teenager. I never really partied or did the bar scene that much. I couple of friends and I were gaming geeks ... we'd play frisbee to all hours of the night, play cards, play board games. Can you see how I have repressed the party thing?

Meeting IM'ers is really quite an experience. You are able to put not only faces to nicknames, but personalities as well.

Kristen got back from her paren'ts yesterday afternoon, so we met up with my best friend and his wife, went to Applebees for dinner. (Monday nights, you get a steak dine, you get a free drink) Well, three margaritas later..and we are friends w/ the bartender..she made us gooooooooood drinks...we were the life of the small crown in the bar. Don't ask me where the sheep enters the picture...

I know how you feel, bud. We all see that, but what can you do. Do you intervene? not? I've got another friend. Pretty good friend, not a particularly good father / jusband..what do you do? How far do you push the boundaries of your friendship by telling him he's fuqqin up? (poor Kris gets hear my 'mumblings'...

Not at all, bud- You have had a lot to deal with all at once. Just deal with is it as best you can. I am down to one grandmother. I need to get off my butt and at least write to her. I duno if I will ever see her again.

NT- Yea, life for me seems to always be hard. I hope it gets better someday.

Life never gets easier, it is the trick to become te master and commander of your destiny. As with everybody here, I have parts of my life that just down right suck, but I have other things that balance them out. Focus on the positive things and let the negative things roll off your back. Life is too short to worry about things you cannot change, people you cannot change, circumstances you cannot change. Work on the things that you can change. We talked a little bit about this in my journal sometime back. Did I send you that information on the new project I am working on?

Hey..you can kill bambi some other time....ya gotz ta go to the 'O'!
be great to meet ya!

 

[PreMier]

NT- LOL, its all good. I was kinda the opposite. I had a fake ID and was in the bars and clubs when I was 16. I got in a tad bit of trouble a few times too. I partied untill I was around 20'ish, adn then I just got burned out. Heh.. I have only been totally drunk once since I turned 21 back in Oct. Now, I like to just chill out, play video games, watch movies etc.

B-man- Hows it goin? Glad you could drop by. Its not that all drunk people act like fuck heads, I think it has a lot to do with their personality overall. I have never really hung out with that kid, and I really dont care to now. Man, I havent been to Applebees in so long. I used to really like that place.
Yea, it is hard. I have just decided to let people deal with it themselves. I mean, if they wanted out, then they would get out right? I dont see a point in sticking up for someone I really dont know all that well. Its a sad thing, but chivalry is dead.
Yea, I suppose life is always hard, unless you win the lottery right? Its alright, its just that sometimes it gets harder than others. Nope... I never got the PM. Its the project in Phoenix though right?
Haha! Im sure NT knows plenty of beautiful women. I mean look at the one he married! Work is just so hectic right now, I just cant get away
Well, I already entered for the permit. I find out on the 28th of this month. I am kinda hoping I dont draw out... I really dont have the funds, plus I have never been to a BB show, and the O would be killer.

Phase 1 Day 2

Squats- 2/7,5/315(had to dump the weight.. went too far down, and just couldnt make it back up.)
Extensions- 2/7,8/200
Incline BB- 2/6/225
Cable Crossover- 2/7,6/90
Military DB- 2/7/80
CG Bench- 2/7/185
V-Bar Pressdowns- 1/9/80 1/7/100

Great workout today. I went pretty heavy, and really felt it. I also now have a bit of fear for the upcoming...

 

[P-funk]

(had to dump the weight.. went too far down, and just couldnt make it back up.)

They are supposed to be called "to hell and back" not "to hell and stay there". Depth is important. Way to go.

 

[Rocco32]

Way to go man. Dude, you and P throw up some great weight!

 

[PreMier]

Patrick- Haha! Yea, I always hit parallel, and below. But this one rep I was just forced way too low.. it was hopeless to try and come back.

Rock- Thanks buddy

 

[atherjen]

I have only got stuck on squats once! did you drop the bar??? or do you have like catcher bar thingys in the rack?
Great workout too!!

 

[P-funk]

I crash down on the safety bars every time I train my squats to failure. I would rather do that than have someone touch me and spot me. I like to know that there was no way I could possibly do one more. I have bottomed out many times. lol.

 

[Rocco32]

I haven't gotten stuck yet, but sometimes I almost fall over LOL

 

[PreMier]

Jen- Yea, there are 2 steel safety bars that I set way below parallel. I just went too low, and I flung the weight off my back. Made a loud crash, but I dont care

Patrick- I used to like having a spotter. I never really dropped the weights like that at my current gym. But now, I really dont care, so I will be going crazy haha! Do you still squat barefoot? My shoes are starting to hurt my feet.. maybe I need new ones.

Rock- LOL Maybe put your feet wider?

 

[yellowmoomba]

PM - Way to go to failure on those squats!!!

 

[P-funk]

P- No, I don't squat bare foot anymore because when I go over three hundred pounds it really starts to put pressureon my ankles. I wear a pair of addidas samba classics. They are completly flat on the bottom, unlike baskeball shoes and running shoes, and have no heel so they don't put you into plantar flexion. I can fell the weight and stay flat at the same time without worrying about my feet rolling. Also, because I am flat footed they have a very little arch so I can really focus on pushing with the outer portion of my foot and pushing my hips out better than in running shoes. You can get a pair for aroud $30-35 so that is not bad at all.

 

[PreMier]

YM- Thanks! Was wondering when you would wander in

P- Thanks. I was thinking of getting some indoor soccer shoes(lotto). Because thats what Mariusz uses.

 

[P-funk]

the lotto's may be tough though because they have a narrower botow. the samba classic has a wider base which is much beter for squating IMO.

 

[Eggs]

Good looking workout bro, way to max those squats!

Oh, and as far as shoes go... when I was squating a bit heavier before I wore boots.

ho-lee crap! You did your chest AFTER you hammered your legs? Sir, I bow to you...

I actually squated 315 for the 1st time today in a while. Felt good....But I didn't go and lift heavy on chest after that...sheesh!
Good job!
I also use those safety bars (acts as my 'spotter') when I squat. I failed out @ 315 one day, so sat the bar down on the racks. I stripped off a plate each side and got under the bar again. (I was almost ass to ankles) and stood it back up..I was actually impressed with that single....

Hey bud-
I will send you those links Wednesday night when I get to work.
Naw, bro- chivalry isn't dead. If you are polite and honest, I believe it will come back to you ten-fold. Pick the good fights, to use a cliche.
Kristen was giving me the 'tatyana' (not the im.com tit, but her friend here) She has a loser boyfriend. Just got fired from his dead beat job, sits on the couch, has her helping him w/ his bills..yada yada... I have asked her (Kristen) if she and her other friend have sat this girl down and have a 'come to Jesus' meeting with tatyana. Well, yeah..but she still doesn't listen" And guess what? She won't. What is the saying, you can lead a horse to water, but yo can't make it drink? Same as with your situation, you cna only do so much, the persons invlovled are the ones that have to make the decision to change. You can't get yourself all twisted up in it. You can only do so much for a person...
Just keep your head up, and keep looking at the goodthings in your life, bud- things will come around. (Then take up NT's offer and take a road trip to Canada....

 

[naturaltan]

I don't think there is any reason to fight other than to save a life. Just my 2 cents worth ... I vowed that the next time I do battle, it wn't be a fair fight ... it won't be long ... and either me or my opponent(s) won't be walking home.

 

[Burner02]

you are SO lucky I don't have any good photo shop expertise, my friend....as soon as I read your post above..I wsa thinking of that picture of trinity in Matrix..the famous one..where she goes slow motion in the air and looks all coiled up to strike..wiht your face morphed there instead..


I agree with ya tho,NT-
I'm too old to do the 'go out and raise hell' bit. I am more interested in making a life for Kris and myself....showing up to a lucrative client's for an appointment with a black eye / missing tooth...just wouldn't get it...

Completely agree...... The Law of Reciprocation

"One of the most potent of the weapons of influence around us is the rule for reciprocation. The rule says that we should try to repay, in kind, what another person has provided us."
