I was just cleaning the weight, I wasn't pressing it. And when I want to do overhead stuff, I just lug a barbell up into my den and do it there. Not optimal, but it works I guess.

Whoever said taking time off helps rest your muscles and makes you stronger is full of shit, this workout sucked and was hard as balls.

 

[Burner02]

what he said!


Some of my best workouts...er at least most 'fun' were when I was TDY to Egypt...WAY back when. The gym was outside, so at night, instead of looking up at a ceiling and artificial light...I had stars. Pretty cool.

Gotta agree with you there. I have always felt weaker after taking extended time off (more than 4 days).

LOL. It usually happens on your 3rd or 4th day back, not the first day.

...as long as it works, right? How long do these workouts take?

...as long as it works, right? How long do these workouts take?

eh about an hour I guess. Working out at home is great, but the one drawback is that it's too easy to slack off during the workout. so if you're in a gym, you might move a bit faster, but at home, you read the internet, go take a shit, shoot some hockey pucks between sets, you know, it's easier to goof off lol.
