Training
141

Love the compliments, bitches. I adore hearing how awesome I am!

Wed night training at the local- light benchish

Worked up to triples with 135, then some singles with a pause. Then i got a hair up my ass and decided to try 155 with a pause. It was ugly, the spotter touched the bar, i threatened to break his fingers, and knew i shouldnt have gone that heavy after Sunday. sigh.

did another single with 135 after that to make up for my awful 155. Spotter had one hand on the bar and was turned around telling someone “just a second,” but he wasnt paying attention to me so i punched the hand of his that was wrapped around the bar. I said i’d break his fingers, i just didn’t say WHEN. ps- they werent broken.

then time ran short bc across the hall bro was comin back in an hour and i’d wasted a lot of time dicking around and berating my spotter, who happens to be a “trainer” there. so I did some pullups with the green band.

got 15 wg on my first go-round, and was VERY pleased with that. did a couple more sets not breaking 10 and called it a night.

oh, and guess who went climbing this morning?!?!?!

it’s been 15 months or so, and everything came back to me REALLY quickly. gonna start doing this more often, as one of the “new” guys in there is talented and awesome and adorable as hell. I’ve been calling him Big Gay James bc there’s too many people named James in my life, but I will call him “Goat” from now on bc hes so tiny and agile and nowhere near hairy enough to be a monkey.

One more final at 3, then a play this evening, work tomorrow, efs and work this weekend… SLEEP on monday. I plan on an inappropriate, offensive amount of time with my pillow.

142

what can you climb? 14’s? 15’s? you look like someone who knows what to do with a rope and some caribiners or whatever the fuck theyre called.

143

Dear God. Those photos need to go in Dirty Pretty Things. Glad I stopped by.

X1billion!! Amazing.

145

Hey the rest posted!!!

But I want to set that couch on fire, then put you tits deep in snow, tighten the chains and re-take these photos.

fucking hot SCHLAMPE!

146

bre- Hobbit told me the difficulty of something i did at one point, and it meant nothing to me, other than that he was pleasantly surprised. so, i have no idea… but i’m quite comfortable around the harness, being tied and clipped in, and my life being in someone elses hands, as long as it’s the right person. :wink: who knew? oh, and could the couch still on fire in the background? all of the above are acceptable.

cal- we’ll see what happens when my girl comes to do pics on saturday. it’s a hobby/living for her, so i’m kind of excited, if for no other reason than that i dont hafta deal with the self timer!

maschy- oh a billion? you so know how my ego works!

no training yesterday. deflated balloon relief after my final yesterday led to little productivity… fell asleep halfway through getting ready for the play, face down on the bed with my head on my hands. woke up in a panic thinking i was late for class/exam.

opening night went well, play called “Doubt.” I had brought a pen just so my girlfriend could autograph my program, and she was so touched it was cute. went to BW’s after, had some green beer and was home by midnight. I really, really shouldn’t go so long without seeing my friends.

see you bitches sunday night. ish.

147

See you Sunday! Have a good weekend!

148

Like the roses on the field of snow. A lot. The chain around your posterior reminded me of this.

149


Everyone looks better in some chains.

You’re body is beautiful Bear.

150

CBear in Chains. Absolutely delicious.

And you climbed! Yet another talent that you don’t have time for right now.

151

Boo!

First~ your pics are crazy! Your stacked!!!

Second~ (if you dont mind) why do you recommend 2 pulls for every push? I thought it was to be equal?

Third~ Cheers :slight_smile:

152

puff- big ass chain… BWAHAHAHAHAHA

kim- oh dear. yes, im sure i dont have time for it… i’d hafta make time, and probably sacrifice a midweek upper body workout, but now i know i have no lats… sigh. i know.

coyote- BOO! thanks ma’am! there are more muscles that are bigger and stronger in the pc. you dont see them so they stay out of mind, but theyre also vital for structural integrity- esp considering the sedentary lifestyle most of us have.

grades- i got very lucky. that is all. weekend lifting coming next.

153

Saturday Squatting at EFS- reverse bands again

different bands/setup than last time, this time they didnt take as much weight off.

so i got a single at 315, and was very happy with that.

added weight (cant remember if it was 325 or 335 next) and i made use of my spotters. or should i say, catchers? i still have no idea what was wrong with me but my elbows flew up and I LOOKED AT MY FEET. literally. moved my whole head down and was like “hey feet, whats goin on down there? OH SHIT IM SQUATTING” I might have been more surprised than everyone else.

waited a few minutes, tried again, and squatted so low it felt like my ass was on the floor. knew there was no way i was comin up with it so i used the catchers again.

did a few sets of pulls and ghr’s, nothing exciting or awesome. there may or may not have been something or two else i did before i left, but i had to leave early for work.

worked till 6, then my girl came over and we took some naked and some not so naked pics. she has studio lights and all (much) of the trappings so it was a LOT of fun. shes playing with editing the pics and ive gotten only one back but GODDAMN i love it. neon white ftw! i’ll try posting it.

finished up with a trip to the mexican place i love, and a margarita to seal off the 3 beers i had during.

I’ve had better ideas.

woke up sunday morning very early, not quite hungover, but not quite in the best shape to lift. i went anyway, and spent some time bitching before i started lifting.

bench offa 2 board for triples. so i cant remember if my last set was 155, 165, or if i got up to 175, but form was SO much better than last week, and this kinda makes up for the missed squats on saturday.

did some pulldowns, rows, and pullups before i had to leave for work again. worked till 6, then had a meeting about how to be friendly from 630-9.

not even the son of a preacher man could teach me that.

so i watched some movies in bed last night on the laptop, and woke up this morning with the right side of my neck through themiddle of my back sore as fuck. had a golfball sized knot in my right trap yesterday, talked ted and steve into working on it for me, and now the entire area is giving me shit.

but, im still in bed with the laptop, and i have a week to clean my apt. YAY SPRING BREAK!

i need a nap now.

154

I’m unreasonably excited about a CBear photo shoot.

155

yes. moar noodz plz.

156

Meetings suck. Meetings about how to be friendly would make me ballistic. Enjoy your spring break, and I hope your back feels better.

157

badass 315 squat.
more nekkid pics.
Bear spending a week lolling in bed.

I am more than a little jealous at this point…

158

kimba- you gots a taste… you still think its unreasonable? :wink:

bg- you could just show up and have a piece of the real thing.

nads- wore my sunglasses for the entire thing, admitted i didnt learn anything, and showcased some of my awesome answers and explanations in front of the store director. yeah. he LOVES me even more now. <–dripping wet sarcasm. I’m starting to enjoy being a thorn in his side. esp after the fucking nonsense with the accident in september.

n- still working 40 hours this week, just feels like a week off bc of no school. sigh. i don’t get vacations. I get a few days here and there, but i knew thats how it was gonna be when i started back. so, i take what i can get when i get it.

no training today. laid down for 20 min that turned into an hour, said “fuckit” when i woke up. ordered japanese food and got a movie. will get bloated and carby, take another hot shower and foam roll before bed, sleep as late as i want to in the morning, and get to the gym tomorrow. i’ll make it worth it. I just may call this a deload week.

in other news, the brother that asked me for training/diet advice sent me celebratory txts this morning… that he didnt wake up with a bulbous belly and that his love handles are smaller. hes incredibly appreciative, and that was a great start to my day.

now if only acrossthehallbrother could get his shit straightened out… sigh.

159

Your log is always a good read. I’m a little schwilly, so I will refrain from making comments except for these:

  1. Your training rocks… when you get to the gym!

  2. Staff meetings, in general, suck! Using the sunglasses was a good move.

  3. I am patiently awaiting any pix. You have a hot, neon white body. Just may have inspired me to revel in my paleness this year.

160

dont ever let being scwilly (whatever the FUCK that is) keep you from being your weirdo veggie awesome self!

  1. nice burn! i know where you’re goin with that, and i appreciate it.

  2. i will never understand why people in staff meetings feel the need to volunteer any and all information that MAY in some way be almost relevant to the topic. none of us want to be there, so why not keep your fucking mouth shut and address problems as they come up? we’ve had 2 staff meetings in the 3.5 years i’ve been there and theres no goddamned point.

  3. i encourage everyone to revel in their paleness. we’re getting to see the 40+ crowd start to look like the 70+ crowd from Florida, because they’ve been tanning (spray, bed, or otherwise) for the last 20 years.

a) if and or when i get cancer, imma rock out with my proverbial cock out, but i don’t want it to happen yet. i have too much to accomplish and i’ve already had one, 18 month long cancer scare in my life.

b) i’ve paid too much fucking money for my tattoos to ruin them with some stoopid fucking sun damage. i hafta get the one on my foot fixed because i let it get burned the day it skinned over. fuck.

c) that being said, i really don’t have a problem with normal sun exposure, and im convinced that the shit in sunscreen is worse for you than the sun itself.

d) which means that i will be spending time in the sun this year, and will end up with more sweet ass farmers tans. he who has to see me naked will get over it or get over me. :wink: i don’t foresee this as a problem.

im posting in outline form. fahk. may as well confess that i was considering making flashcards earlier. im such a nerd.
