Re: gym time
I have been out of action since the running on Mon., maybe a little over-doing it there. Ah well, back to it this weekend I hope!

Re: gym time
:+textinb3 I've been there...when I first decided to lose weight (after I went over the 200lb mark with next to no muscle mass) and get in shape I would walk at a medium pace for several hours a day. There were days I would wake up with my calves so cramped that I would barely be able to walk when I woke up.

Re: gym time
Shit, haven't been to my gym in weeks.
Going to (try) to play tennis tonight. Total gay sport but at least you have to fun around and get some exercise. It's also not too bad on my back.

Face plant on concrete floor in my brothers garage while playing beer pong...broken nose, knocked out 3/4 of one of my front teeth, and a little bit of pain/tenderness in the forehead and eye sockets. 2348ji23e2348ji23e2348ji23e

Sorry to laugh at your pain, but that is some funny shit, Dio. Sounds like something stupid I would have done back when I played beer pong and drank like a fish.

Re: gym time
This could have happened to me this weekend as well. I had a bit past "a bit too much" to drink, for sure.

:+textinb3 No biggie...ended up spending the night in jail on top of it for a $50 no front plate ticket I had sent in a money order for.

Re: gym time
Wow, talk about a shitty day. You ever read the site http://www.fmylife.com/?
It's a site called "fuck my life" where people write about the shitty days they are having, your story reminded me of some of the stuff on there. :+textinb3

Re: gym time
Nice...I'll read some of that stuff. Had to call a dentist on Sat night as well on his emergency line for a root canal because drinking, breathing, or eating didn't feel good with the nerve exposed. Not the best of days. :LMAO
Time to hit the weights.

Re: gym time
PULL UPS, the great equalizer! The one exercise that mitigates body weight differences.
I don't care how long you've been working out, or what your routine is. If you don't practice pull ups (I don't mean those bullshit half way down kind), you probably can't do double digits.
Here's the protocol: Moderately wide grip, hands facing away, ALL the way down and ALL the way up (chin above the bar). Not superslow, but in a controlled motion.
I've been doing them for quite some time and can do 20 with perfect form. It took me a long time to work up to that number and I'm pretty proud of it (but I only weigh a buck eighty, so it's a little easier for me, but then again, it's all relative).
Those that do them, chime in. Those that haven't, give it a try (don't be too discouraged, stay with it and you'll make good progress). I don't care what gym you're in, it won't take long to call the roll of those who can do 10 (that's your short term goal)!

Re: gym time
for some reason I strayed away from pullups and started using the lat machine but I just went back to them. The bad news is I could only get 12 10 8 8. I love pull ups. At my peak in pullups I could get 28 close grip with my hands touching each other which works the forearms more and 25 wide grips. At this time I could do up and overs where you pull up but instead of stopping at your chest you explode from the bottom position and go up to the point you are actually pushing down on the bar until it is at your waist. I'm not sure if I explained that very clearly but anyways weighted pullups are sick for your back

Re: gym time
I love dls but I hate bringing straps to the gym I'm always thinking to myself "am i that asshole coming in with wraps belt gloves" Also I hate wearing sweatpants to the gym for deads but really no way around it unless you don't mind bleeding all over the bar

Re: gym time
Come to love deads though....doesn't feel nearly as bad on the knees as when I had tried them in highschool. Might have been terrible form on top of bad knees.
I work out at home and not nearly lifting heavy enough for that. Just started DL and squats towards the beginning of the year (bad knees run in the family and being overweight most of my life didn't help) so I'm only doing a bit over 200. Only wear gloves...calluses from not wearing them are f*cking annoying.
