Thas’ some bullshit
Aww fuck man, sorry to hear that dude.
Sorry to hear Greg 
But bigger and better things are headed your way, no doubt.
They’re dumb. They should be jumping at the opportunity to hire someone with your military experience and physical condition. I guess you can apply elsewhere, or get those certs so no place has any excuse to turn you down.
That sucks but at least you don’t have a hernia
thanks guys and gals
back and bi’s today. decent session but felt flat
Hey you working out at the Hillcrest Homogym now or at your old one? I don’t recall if you definitely made the switch or not.
Aww Greg that’s so stupid.
I’m highly upset by that news.
Maybe they can call those girls who did the course in a half hour or whatever.
Assholes.
One door closes and a window opens. And from the courses you ran, I’m sure you’re prepared to jump through some windows =D
just an update,
I’ve still been hitting the gym just having been logging it or posting much lately. Kinda just bummed about how everything turned out… Gonna get into the gym later so I’ll try to log that after I get back.
Hip/Groin area is feeling better but still a little sore. I cant lift legs or run at all cause it hurts but besides that it feels pretty good.
Hang in there, sexy! I feel ya. Too bad we live on opposite sides the continent, otherwise i’d buy you a drink and we could commiserate on life’s many tribulations.
Keep focusing on your training and your girl, and all the other good stuff you got going. Stay positive my friend!
Besos muy, MUY grande para mi amigito Gregron.
Con carne,
Mascherano
It’ll be alright man, life sucks sometimes but you just gotta keep doing what you can to make the most of it. Don’t worry, we still <3 ya.
So you can’t train legs yet, great, that means you’re going to make your arms even bigger. Fucker.

I’m a little rusty on my spanish but this is what I got
“Besos very, VERY large parachute mi small-friend Gregron.
With Meat,
Mascherano”
I’m almost positive that thats a correct translation

I hear ya Ink… “Life sucks and then you die” lol
Yeah I cant train legs and it sucks. I tried some extensions, leg press and stuff but couldnt do it. I hit some Trap bar DL’s and they felt pretty good… they’re more like a squat than a DL (for me anyway) and I did 3 x 8 w/315… so that was a little leg work but thats it. everything else hurt.
I’ve been getting my jumprope on though
That sucks you didn’t make it considering you smoked the tests and with your background. That’s bullshit. Are you going to try and get some of those certifications and try again?
Take it easy on the legs and you’ll recover fine. I know that hoop at the gym is just asking to be dunked on, you’ll just have to resist the temptation lol.

I’m sure about the “With Meat” part, knowing Masch and her love for all things carne.
Wait, the “para” is “with”, so whatever “besos” means (I know I’ve known it in the past, just don’t remember) very very big, my WAIT!
Hold on…
Besos is either hugs or kisses. I’m going with hugs…
Big, big hugs, my little friend Gregron.
With Meat
Mascherano
HA! Did I win?
FUCK, it’s kisses, I googled it. Shoulda known.
edit: Ha, kisses with meat, as in “Greg’s kissin some schlong!” BOOM, ROASTED!

HA! Seriously? What kind of espranish do they teach you people?! And in the south west no less!
You pretty much nailed it there Inky. Altho “the meat” part is a little inside joke between me and my labia. Too soon? shrugs
^ NO!!! No the traps!
Sam- Yeah thats the plan. I’m going to hopefully be able to finish up all my fire protection courses, get a volunteer position and possibly get some hazmat certs or something before the next academy (which is in January I think?) hahaha man I havent jumped in forever. This stupid hip thing is all whack. I tried to do an ab wheel roll out and ate shit when I got extended lol… it hurt so bad.
Ink- You’ve got some pretty espanol mi amigo… daddy likes lol. you can besos my carne anytime Marine ha!
Masch- I dont know what that means but I love it! We could grab a drink, talk about our injuries and laugh at people singing karaoke haha karaoke is always good for some people watching.
Gregron loooooooooooooooooves himself some Black Keys. So incredible.
OK so I got into the gym today for a great workout. I was inspired by Ink’s PM about the Pushups Pull Up Dip Pyramid.
Rode the bike for 10 minutes to warm up the legs/hip
Foam Rolled/Stretched
PPD Pyramid: 9:41 (got through all the pull ups and dips in single sets but the pushups were kicking my ass)
DB Incline Bench
60 x 10
80 x 10
90 x 8
60 x 20 (insane chest/arms pump)
DB Arnold Presses
4x10
Face Pulls:
3 x 12 w/ 3 second hold at top (rear delts were en fuego)
Side Raises:
3 x 12
Rope Press Downs:
4 x 8
Tri Push Down:
3 x 8
PPD Pyramid again as a finisher: 12:52 (<–LOL. So smoked. Got all the pull ups in straight sets)
Was out of breath and covered in sweat. Awesome workout today.
