Ink- lol

Ok so I think i figured out why I had no energy at the gym yesterday… I have caught that cold thats going around. Last night I started having a sore throat and woke up this morning feeling awful. It sucks. My fiance has had it for a little over a week and I had managed not to catch it. Yesterday she is pretty much back to full strength and then thats why I get it… ooooooof course!

So probably no gym for me today even though I want to go. I should do the smart thing and rest up today so that I can kick this stupid thing.

I hate getting sick. Get your multi-vitamins in and drink a shitload of juice with vitamin C(bolsters immune system) and you should be alright. haha. I can’t wait for it to warm up here so I don’t have to worry about getting sick (it was ~40 today).

163


jk brah.

164

My calves are also very small.

There so tincy… like a womans calf [/quote]

LOL well mine are 14.5" so not exactly like a womans calf.

Well that’s why your fiance’s feeling better, because she gave it to you.
Get better <3

166

Blaze - Yeah being sick sucks… but at least it gives me some COD time

DF- I’m trying man. I’m taking emergen-c and trying to get better cause I wanna get back after it.

Ct Rock - You can joining the Shitty Calfs Club with the rest of us.

Nikki - Thats true. She’s all better now cause she gave it to me :frowning: You almost have the same size calfs as me. FML

In other news:
I applied for a “Gladiator” position for a local adventure race called The Spartan Race. I sent in some pictures to fill the roll of “Gladiators” who are supposed to work the race and pump people up. It was $25 an hour for like 6 hours on saturday and I never heard anything back after the second round of pictures/questions. Well the guy from the advertising agency just emailed me back saying he’d like me to work it but I already have plans. Damn! I could have used an extra couple hundred bucks

167

Actually I can’t mine are like 22 inches or some shit lol

What’s your average workout time? I used to run a mile before my workouts as a warm up too but I realized it was burning me out on the strength department too much so I save that or jumping rope for after. I used to run them in 6:30…so I prolly was going too fast anyways. Nowadays i’m lucky to get em in under 10 mins but thats another story.

Since I do martial arts as well I try and not let my workouts in the gym go over an hour…don’t wanna trash the body too much. Seems like you get a lot of work done… Pretty awesome man[/quote]

Thanks man. 6:30 mile huh? That’s quick.

As far as my average time for the workout is concerned, it really all depends. If I’m doing extra conditioning work or something I could spend anywhere 90 minutes to 2 hours? If I’m just doing my lifting I can get it all done under an hour probably? I take pretty short rest periods unless it’s bench or squat on the heavier sets.

I’ve never actually timed myself at the gym, as far as total time goes, but I just get in, do what i gotta do, and get going. If I feel like after 3 exercises a bodypart is done for the day then I’ll stop then. If I think I need one or two more exercises then I’ll go for it. I really just play it by how I feel ya know?

Hope I answered your question a little bit? Hahah[/quote]

Question Answered! Get better soon!

Yes you do!!

I hate to say but my calves kinda rock. Genetics shrug

Too bad about the TV thing. You’d look great as a Gladiator! HAH!

170

Dude, show up anyway in full gladiator battle gear.

171

Do your new workout in full gladiator attire plz.

No undies.

172


Ct Rock - I should have known your calfs were at least 20"s… dont all black guy roll on DUB’s at least? you got them dub dueces son! :slight_smile:

Frozen Ninja - Ok good. I felt like I kinda did a round about way of semi answering your question.

WF - Thanks man. My arms are deceptive. I have really thick triceps and but my bi’s arent very big. I think I’m pretty triceps dominant in my pressing movements so my tris are really thick. I need to work on my bi’s cause they’re definitely way behind my tri’s… but that also probably has to do with the fact that I dislike doing curls.

Masch - Thanks but talk about gunz!?! Look at your avi. Yeah the Gladiator thing is kinda lame but whatever. I probably could have gotten some cool pics out of it though.

DF - That would be funny if I went in and just started batteling the other gladiators for real. I would throw out so many “300” style chest kicks

Bug - I’ll work on it. I actually dont own any gladiator attire, although I did dress as a biker for a costume party once. I wore a viking wig and beard which was a great look IMO.

Pic of my biker costume for the LULz. That frilly jean vest was so damn small (probably would have fit my calfs) I had to cut slits down the side so i could move.

173

Cant lose with 22’s bitch dats wassup!!!

174

Sale at EliteFTS has been extended through Friday, with free shipping.

Your cart shall include “BANDS” now

Come on dude, you gotta join “band practice”!

175

Yes greg, get on those bands.
To answer your question in Ink’s log, in about 5-10 business days, yes, you will be the only human that isn’t making their workout awesome with bands :smiley:

I can’t wait for mine <3

176

Ct - well mine are 15’s… but I keeps em clean

Ink & Nikki - I dont really have the expendable income right now to be purchasing bands (even though I want some) maybe I’ll register for some for the wedding. ha!

Ok so on to my workout for today. I wasnt going to go cause of my cold but i woke up feeling ok so I decided to try a little somethin’ somethin’

Legs:

warmed up shooting hoops and then tried a few jumps. I was getting the same height and grabbing rim on every one of my jumps which was nice but I was gassed after the first jump. This cold kinda worked me over today

Then went outside for some squats.
225 x 10
275 x 8
315 x 5, 5, 5 (<–video of the last 5)
365 x 1 (felt like poop. I was so gassed already)
225 x 24 (<-- was inspired by DF’s tricep destroyer thing and was going to get 25 reps but I lost count. Video of this as well)

heres my 315. Kinda high on a few of them, i know , i now

heres my 225 x 24. Again I know i was kinda high on some of these too but im not PLing :slight_smile:

There was a bar lying around set up for deadlifts so I decided to try some out. Went for some sumo’s and they felt ok. Never had done them before but was inspired by Liquid Mercurys log.

405 x 1. It didnt feel heavy but some guy started talking to me right as I was going to pull. He through off my concentration and I didnt stay tight. It didnt feel very heavy at all but i just kinda wobbled around. Damn it!

EDIT: After watching that video again… Ughhhhh! “You Gee El Why! You aint got no alibi you ugly! yeah yeah you ugly!”

Then i finished off my legs with some walking lunges.

135 x 10, 10, 9 (<–video of this one, Misjudged my room and only got 4 on the way towards the camera then 5 on the way back.)

all in all it was a pretty good workout considering I wasnt feeling that great. Critique away on the vids you guys. Definitely going to have to work on some stuff here soon.

You have an outdoor area to your gym? thats legit

178

Do you ever have any lower back problems? The only reason I ask is because your ass kips a lot at the bottom during your squats.

179

Dude, that fucker who spoke right before you pulled needs a 10# chucked at him!

“Whoa bro, you need a belt! My vagina hurts just watching you” (I think that’s what he said)

STFU, thanks.

Good lifting though man, cool vids, and even though your sumo pull was a bit wobbly, it looked good.

yeah the outdoor gym is pretty awesome. They dont care if you are shoeless out there or even shirtless. When its sunny out you can get your tan and pump on at the same time.

I know the little dip thing your talking about and I’ve always had that. I dont really know why? I’ve tried lots of different set ups and things but it just doesnt go away. any suggestions on how to correct that?

But to answer your question, No i dont have any low back problems from squatting with that little hitch thing. I never have and would like to keep it that way :slight_smile:

EDIT: After re watching the videos I think I might know why. I think i’m pretty glute dominant in my squats. Maybe my glutes are firing a lot more than everything else? i’ve got quite the ghetto booty (or so I’m told) so maybe my glutes are taking over and firing first? I dont know… just grasping as straws here lol

hahaha yeah. He was a nice enough guy but come on bro… just wait till I’m done lifting to start asking me questions. I like talking to people at the gym and have noticed a lot of people chatting me up lately about lifts im doing (especially the meadows rows) but i wish they would wait till after i was done.
