I tend to wrap mine when I begin to go heavy. I seriously need to maintain the habit of working my wrists and forearms, though. More than just Farmers Walks.
You’re my hero, Brute. (Herione…I know.)
EYEAH

Wow…this is embarrassing. HEROINE. Not Herione, as I spelled it above. For shame!!!
^^ Brute has that effect. grin
today i actually did some sort of upper body work…so gross.
benched for the first time in …a while. NO need to reiterate how much I don’t care about this movement. and it shows. …But i could care less.
bench blah 115x5,120x5, 125x3, 130 x 2 singles
rows are another disgusting thing --with 55# db x10 x 2 sets
clean to push press 95x10,x8, then clean up and push press the reps with 115x5,x6
went to a gym i don’t normally go too and my god…B.O. Stink FEST…and of course he wanted to help spot my bench. tank top and all with that funky ass pit hair… wafting…right over my nose. I declined the spot.
should be changing shifts with in two weeks :)not like its a huge change. new shift is 4pm 2am. I will be awake some part of the early evening–I’ve missed those. And I’ll be able to go to bed when its somewhat dark–makes sleeping so much easier and life less confusing.
…but i dunno. its less dough and well, still shitty hours. we shall have to see. My options are limited since I want to continue doing ER stuff and pretty much every ER clinic has the same concept of only having stupid shifts. bleh. My ideal position would be a daytime ER/ICU but those don’t really exist :{ whatever
ah, ER. i see why you are having so much trouble finding more normal working hours 
glad to hear that these hours sound a bit better for you, though. that is a pretty great bench for someone who doesn’t care about it!!
For sure.
Is there any way to talk your way into getting a better hour shift made for you? Sometimes asking makes a world of difference.
I got my change of shift —starting monday I am going to 5pm to 2 am. BETTER
EEEE. Well sorta EEEEE…long story and stuff you guys would probably get bored of, but main idea is that shift is full of lazy workers. I hope to change this–or at least make it one less lazy worker.
OH i did a ten minute dl workout this morning. 265x11,x6,x3 225x5. seriously wamm bamm. Then the normal long ass walk done daily… Man I needed this. I hope that my new work hours will help me squeeze more lifting in. but i must say I am very proud of my work on my dog:)
Its been keeping me busy and us both exhausted --and off the forums :{ BUT WORD we have improved so much, and I’m proud MORE boring stuff i could write on for a while about but short story is we’re syncing up and I’m getting a a bit of a ego boost when he listens so eagerly…I feel like a lion tamer.
You should have seen this dog before…its just amazing to watch how much he’s changed.
still a turb, but its somuch better
i am so so so so so (so so) happy that things are better for you and Nigel you should feel proud of being a lion tamer.
congrats on your better shift. i hope you don’t have to suffer too much shit while they get their work ethic into gear. it was something that i found a bit with my job when i started. things are better with that for me now, though. had a few days of tears when people got a bit bitchy because they felt i was making them look bad… but now people seem to be taking more of a sense of pride when we pull together well as a team to get things done efficiently. fingers crossed that happens for you.
woo hoo deadlifts!
Thanks Alexus OH YEAH. That sucks you had to deal with lamers for a few bad days…i get frustrated when people just have no work ethic. I’m a worker…for better or worse, I choose to work where i do and I’m going to make sure everyone knows I’m worth the wage they pay me and more/ plus it feels good to put in a good effort
Luckily I have seniority over all of the techs for the most part, so if they don’t like me tough shit. I’ve been there longer and proven myself. it’ll just be a battle to not get frustrated over pulling their dead wt around…we’ll see.
Also goes for alll areas of my lil Brute World. NO job?..mmm depending on the circumstance it is what it is. but if you are a lazy person, I’m not dragging you around in my life. We can be friends, but FUCK OFF lazy loser. If you don’t feel good and look forward to completing a good days hard work, whatever you’re not even a candidate for Brute’s team. So fuck off lazy dudes I have no interest in taking care of anyone but my dog.
OHHHH i could rant much more. but i don’t want to give anyone more attention in my life then i have to.
here’s my lil workout today.
bench 95x10x 3 sets, x 7
overheads 95x15, 115x10,125 x 8
front sq 145x13
walks
BRRUUUUUUUUUTTTEEEEE!!!
You’re a total badass. I have every confidence that you can whip the lazy techs into shape.
I’m pleased as pie that you’re continuing to make progress with Nigel; there’s a lot to be said for good long walks for those who go on two legs and those who go on four.
Keep up the good work, you amazing animal you. grin
so happy Nigel is making progress and good news on the time switch.
things are looking up!
thanks kristof and n :)!!! definite good changes going on in my life… lifting will follow i hope. but i’m grateful all the same!
no updates again lifting wise. Yesterday I got my tattoo worked on and i’m way sore. It was a toe curling ouchie session for sure but its coming along!
So instead I capitalized on 2 coupons :
- $8 haircut at great clips
- free eyebrow waxing
its Hairless Brute!..wait, i need more “!”'s !!!
Oh it feels good. Self pict included! A Rather 80’s type combination of the Russian dude’s wife from Rocky 4 and Egon form Ghostbusters. Both are pretty awesome!!
Ah, Brigitte Nielsen - she was also Red Sonja, of course…I think that’s more you.
Oh!!! A rare picture/video of Brute not crushing weight.
A different kind of awesome, but goodness you’re pretty. Your eyes are positively electric!
That’s a grogeous shot, love the hair.
It is a great pic. I really like your hair! My face is too rectangular shaped for short hair I learned that the hard way… You look great!
Here you go.
!!!
Glad to hear things are going in a positive direction. What were your working hours before?
thanks you!! I do love my hair. so nice having less of it!
thanks kristof and patch and cal
Hey alexus- i know what you mean about the shapes of faces with shorty hair. i have a bit odd shape too and tend to look like a giant Gerber baby with the length i have it now. but fuck it if i care, it feels good. I say go for whatever you want!!
MiM- i used to be 10 pm to 8am. the change has been tough! now i have alot of trouble staying awake pasty 10 at night–and i still have four hours of work after that to go! Its going to take a bit of an adjustment period after years of strange habits.
I’ve been very exhausted from the change but its fantastic. it’ll get better. Also my tattoo was sore and oozing plasma etc for a bit longer then i expected and had me limpin around for a bit. just getting back to the gym today.
dls 245x10,x9,x8,x7,x6,x5,x4
