Speed Freak

I left that part out. No deadlifts but we did do squats. Alternated them with the bentover rows. Squats and bent over rows were our heaviest lifts so we would do them every other workout. One week you got to do squats twice, the following week only once. Same with the rows.

Next up, madatory thongs for everyone! And we WILL check!

My best results were in college when our strength coach believed in three core exercises. Three sets of 8 three times a week. Bench press, Heavy bent over rows and military presses. You could do bicep curls also but only if you wanted to. They were not part of the program. I have seen guys do every exercise known to man for each body part and then wonder why they don't grow and when doing too much does not work, they DO MORE! Why does a guy have to do for biceps, barbell curls, dumbell curls, alternating dumbell curls, preacher curls, concentration curls, hammer curls, reverse curls, mouth open curls, mouth crooked curls, crosseyed barbell curls, crosseyed dumbbell curls, left open/right eye closed curls, right eye open/left eye closed curls, seated curls, standing curls, slouching, curls, crouching curls, standing on one leg curls, standing on the opposite leg curls, crosslegged curls (my wife does these but usually when she is mad and I am getting no sex and she is keeping her legs crossed 24/7). I have seen guys spend two hous in the gym on arm day! What the heck!

I really can't stand over the top bubbly people! Last year I crashed my motorcycle at the track and got run over by the bike behind me. This happened right in front of a couple of track workers. A young blonde, bubble head runs up to me and says in her cheery and infuriatingly annoying chipmunk voice, "Did that hurt?" ***!:angryfire "Weren't you paying attention!"

Probably some poor drifter or hitchiker that no one knew where he was. Wound up knocked into a ditch and never found again. The area where my friend lived is very prone to flooding so if it rained soon after that and the body was in a ditch, chances are it washed away would never be found.

A friend of mine had a father who would just disappear like that and show up in neighboring towns and even a neighboring state once. He was in the Marines so he could not care for him like he should and his sisters did not care. When he was home on leave, his father called him to go get him because he was lost again and had damaged his car. What had happened was that he had hit someone and did not realize it. Part of a hand along with a wrist watch was wedge between the bumper and grill. The truly scary part, they never found who he hit and no one was reported missing anywhere there or in the surrounding counties.

I chuckle every time someone mentions their BS degrees. My degree wound up being pretty much a BS degree too.

Every single person in my life is telling me I am making a big mistake. I know that if I show even the slightest trepidation, everyone's advice will be to bail and bail now. Gonna suck on the bad days cause I will have to not let on and put a happy face on everything because the minute I do not, I will hear a ton of I told you so's. Well, I am doing this for me anyway and as long as I am happy with it, who cares.

My daughter was a medic with an MP unit in Iraq. Their mission was mostly escorting convoys from Baghdad International Airport to bases and posts around Baghdad. During one mission the truck ahead of them was hit by a roadside bomb. The tailgate flew off and the MP who was in her vehicle manning the .50 cal machinegun on the roof was cut in half by it. Knowing how it got for her over there, poo is nothing.

I have done a couple Crossfit workouts with some buddies and like the concept. But right now I am very pressed for space. I am in the process of remodeling the house. I am doing this myself and I have stuff everywhere. Once I finish the house in the next few weeks I am going to expand my small shop in my back yard and make it more of a gym. I use my garage as my shop anyway since I keep my three motorcycles in there.

i liked the designs from both those places but as a guy, carrying one of those would me look (and probably feel) a bit swishy.

I learned this when I took my first job after the Army. I got a job as a Police Officer. Being a cop is alot like being a priest. If it is not a true calling, you will HATE it. I did and quit in disgust after a year. Got nothing against cops. Having been one I have a deep appreciation for what they do, but it was just not for me. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

A mall job is always good. Pretty stress free. What is it that Dave Ramsey, the financial guru always recommend? Delivering pizzas? With me being a fit and scary looking dude, I usually turn to bouncing when I need extra money. I also have a cousin who is a bail bondsman and I do some bounty hunting for him. He is disabled so he can't handle some of the "physical" aspects of bringing someone in.

Thing about that, back when I was bouncing, in some of the places that were real dives, I saw the women who had hung on way past the time when age and gravity had told them to stop. That young firm body does not last forever. There is no dignity in it when you get to that point.

I can see some people wearing them to keep their arms covered. I wear Under Armor with long sleeves. Mostly because of tattoos.
