MAsteve- I like that saying… You’re not overtrained you’re just under conditioned. If you train your body/condition your body it can handle a lot more than you think. thanks for the hijack
MiM- It has been pretty stressful lately TBH, but after this weekend we’re both feeling MUCH better! I’m super pumped for it… its going to be the biggest party ever lol. The date for the wedding is December 3rd. only 4 more months of bachelorhood lol
mmatt- What do you want to do in the Military? Do you plan on being a “lifer”? If I was you I would suggest that you do some sort of SOF job… I guess if you’re going to be an O it wont be as big of a difference but your “quality of life” is SOOOOOOO much better when you’re in a SOF job… Just an idea
Ok so I go into the gym this morning for some FMC. Did 25 minutes on the stairmaster (the usual) then went back this afternoon for some lifting. Was NOT feeling it today and I think I was just run down from the long weekend of driving. I think we were in the car over 30 hours during out 84 hour trip… but it wasnt bad at all surprisingly.
hit some chest, shoulders and tris today. Had a good little pump but my strength was in the pooper. Not much worth even documenting. I’m just going to count this as a “getting back in the swing of things” workout lol.
buuuuuuuut I did end my workout in a furious rage. I almost unleashed my fury on these two 150lb dummy birds at the gym today… I had to restrain myself from causing a scene.
backstory: Its hot as balls in the gym. I think I was on the verge of overheating as I finished my workout. I was drenched in sweat and I rolled into the locker room. I took of my workout shirt cause it was soaked and I was just standing in the locker room. I was splashing cold water on my face to try to cool me down a little earlier but at this point I was just standing there in my shorts/shoes and with my headphones on. I had stopped the music but my headphones were still in (as you can probably tell this is key in the story)
So I’m just standing in there trying to cool down/stop sweating before I get my other shirt out of the locker and I see one of the guys (the littler one… probably 5’8 and 150 MAX… probably 140) looking at me. I had seen these guys working out in the gym while I was out there and they hadnt even worked up a single drop of sweat between them. As they’re walking out I hear the little guy say “Did you see that guy in there just staring at himself in the mirror the whole time?” and then the other guy says yeah and they both start laughing…
I almost lost it. I dont know why it bothered me so much but it really did lol. I had to restrain from yelling out “what?!? If you’re going to talk shit you should at least do it to my face” but I didnt. I looked for them when I got outside though cause if they were out there I was going to confront them about it but they were long gone so I guess it wasnt meant to be, but its probably for the best though… Those friggin turds! ahhh I’m still worked up about it hahaha. Oh well though.
Yeah so thats about it. not a lot to report really.
My eventual plan is to go FBI, so I’ll probably go office job. As of now, I have no plans of being a lifer. I like the army and all, but don’t see myself doing this longterm. I’m an accounting/finance dual major, so if I don’t get into finance corps, I’m going to crack some heads.
I would have probably made a scene but I doubt it would be for the best.
Give them the 2 strike rule, if they are turdsvagain warn them and if anything else happens… GREG SMASH.
Petty high scool shit talking gets me too…especially when people talk about you as if your not even there or if they think you can’t here them. Only now I’m all growed up(mostly) and am not afraid to stick up for myself.
GRRRR.
If you see them again, just give them the peoples eyebrow and flash your abz periodically. That ouught to care of them.
My bro and I are going to see Phish play in Tahoe this coming Tues and Wed. We’re going to drive from Berkeley to Tahoe, see the show, then drive straight back both nights. Oy.
Harry- I thought about it but I think they would have liked it and thT would defeat the purpose lol
mmatt- FBI huh? I thought about going the agency route when I got out. Was looking into the CIA’s Special Activities (SA) department but decided against it. All of the agency jobs (operator stuff) that I would want to do would requireme to be gone from home just as much as when I was in the military and that’s why I got out lol. Seems counterproductive huh? I was SWCC
scj- I should have huh? Next time
Ink- you may be on to something here. I am a hugger so next time I’ll consider that option.
Steve- I like your word play. You Brits and your whitty humor lol 2 strikes rule it is.
MiM- I’m so anti drama that it’s not even funny. I’m super laid back IRL and joke around with everyone. You catch more flys with honey right?
Doc- feel free to use dummy birds at will. I like that one, goof ball and turd. They sound funny but get the point across that you’re not happy without sounding like a total jerk haha. Yep I’m getting married December 3rd! So exciting you were gone for too long… What were you up to?
Harry 2.0- spuds like a long night my friend… Should be a good one.
Ok so I was gonna hit the gym yesterday evening but my buddy called and had free tickets to the Kid Rock concert so I did that instead. I’m not really a big Kid Rock fan but free 3rd row tickets can’t be passed up.
IT WAS AWESOME!!! Kid Rock kicked ass and had great stage presence. Kid Rock is my kind of people. Great time, got hit on by these two cougars that were sitting behind us all night… It was awesome lol
Hit the gym this morning for some cardio. 5 minute warm up, 30 minute @ 3.2mph & 12 incline then 5 minute cool down.
I saw Kid Rock when Metallica did their Summer Sanitarium tour (in North Carolina) back in…um…2000? Yeah, I was there for C-School and was like “Hell yeah, Metallica! Oh, Kid Rock? Meh…” It’s cool you got to go for free though. Who else played?
It was a great show though, even though I got knocked out in the pit during Korn’s “Blind”.
Legs day today… Not really a good day (in an out of the gym)
Started with cleans and worked on form. Have gotten rid of most of my knee wobble but there is still a little bit. Worked up to
225 x 1, 1, 1
245 x 1 (no straps this time)
265 x 0 (just thought id try it but didn’t have mucheft in the tank)
Front squats:
225 x 6, 6
275 x 3, 3, 3
135 x 15 (no lockout)
BW was 211 at the gym today but I feel like I’ve been looking progressively worse and worse since Friday/Saturday. Lame
Went home after that. My fiancé was home sick from work so I was taking care of her and dealing with some other issues… When it rains it pours lol. Feeling very tired and drained right now. Getting into bed now. Take it easy everyone and I’ll stop by your logs in the morning to check in and get inspired.
Do you think there is a chance that all the stress is negatively effecting your body image? “progressively looking worse” is happening as you progressively get more crap to deal with by the sounds of things.

That.
Everything will chillax out Greg, and you’ll be/feel “normal” again man. Don’t worry, your sexyness is still shining, even if you can’t see it
And FML, 245 clean? I couldn’t clean that to my naval!
Where are the bosu ball squats though? Surely someone of your size has done their fair share.[/quote]
I lol’d.
I think Steve may be right about the stress affecting your body image.
I like the term ‘turd’ too or even turdburgler. I also am partial to ninny and nincompoop (particularly as a verb). It is always a joy to bust in on students doing something stupid and declare (in booming Monty Pythonesque voice)…“and just what sort of nincompoopery is this?” The looks are worth a zillion dollars!
Steve- thanks man. I think you’re right that its a stress thing. I dont ever stress really and am good at keeping my composure but this issue has really gotten to me and ive been finding myself being very short tempered lately… Roid raging without the roids lol… I need to take a chill pill. my girl is feeling a lot better today, thanks
scj- 245 is is my best but this time it was without straps so its a legit one lol. Bosu Ball squats huh? I’ll try and get a vid.
Ink- you are so wise my friend… chillaxin it is. Are you hitting up cleans? They’re so much fun! I’m sure you could get 245 up high enough, its just a matter of weather or not you can drop under the bar?
Doc- Thats a funny phrase. You’re a teacher? I thought your were a doctor? What do you teach? If its math will you tudor me for my upcoming semester because I am practically a function vegetable when it comes to math lol
Elmore- Whats up big man? Ummmm I’m not sure TBH? I tried that 265 when I was really tired. I think if I was a little more fresh I coulda gotten it? I had it up to about nipple height so it was definitely high enough to clean I just didnt stand a chance of dropping under it.
MiM- I can bet my bottom dollar that you always know the right things to say. Thanks mimsy
ok so today I didnt do any working out and didnt even think about the gym. My boo was home sick from work again and I was taking care of her. I then had to go to the fire museum to help set up for an event tonight. The museum was accepting a piece of steel from the WTC and so I did some mopping, setting up chairs and tables and that sort of thing.
After that Maegs (my fiance) and I went to home depot and got a bunch of plants/bushes and stuff like that for some gardening. I got some stone because I’m going to make a little sitting area/fire pit behind the house for us to chill out in. Its gonna be sweet.
Then I got my Chef BoyarGregron on and cooked up some thick cut bacon wrapped chicken breasts. The pic above is the before… it was awesome! halfway through I smothered them in BBQ sauce… amazing. I may or may not have eaten 3 of the 4 breasts for dinner lolol. Gonna get some rest now and hit the gym tomorrow… I’ll be stopping by all of your guys logs tomorrow I swear. Scouts honor.
