Always the ugly step-sister, I am. No hurt feelings. Truly. I’ve got a call in to the therapist, so I’m sure I’ll manage.

Might I suggest sex as a warmup to your training? Make it a five-minute quickie since you’re so pinched for time. Warms up all the muscles in your body.

I think Kimba makes an excellent point that you have no time to warm up but plenty of time to chat up the women. Priorities.[/quote]

Well, my excuse is that it had been a while since you had been in to hold my feet to the fire.

Sex before training…hmmm. No doubt it is a good total body warmup.
Not sure what the women at the office will think about that (since I go at lunch time) but I’ll send out an email and see what happens.

Update on email: no takers

Cycle 5, Week 3
Bench
165 x 5
190 x 3
210 x 4…PR up from 205 x 4
190 x 5x5…PR up from 185 x 5x5

CG bench in Smith
1pps x 8
1 + 25 x 5
1 + 35 x 4
2pps x 3

DB rows…haven’t done these in months
65 x 8
75 x 7
85 x 5
110 x 11…grip
110 x 10…grip

Used 3 different spotters for bench…1. a crossfit kinda dude, 2. a woman that trains pretty seriously and 3. a bigger dude.
The instructions, “I don’t want to see your hands near the bar and I don’t want you to touch the bar unless it is heading for my face” were clearly understood by 1.; 2. got it after she ignored me on the first set and I had to repeat, 3. didn’t fucking get it even when I repeated the instruction during the set.

Anywho, felt pretty good today.

Lingerees for ma lady.

OK, so my wife’s birthday is coming up and I want to get her some lovely undergarments. I have gone into stores to buy before but being the shy sort I would rather order online.

These will be in addition to the very sexy lamp for seasonal affective disorder and the business strategy books she has requested.

Other than the obvious (Victoria Secret), any quality sites I should look at?

I was going to make some comment about warming up for one arm concentration curls by yourself under the desk. Then thought better of it and deleted it!

One of the most infuriating things about working out in a public gym is having a spotter touch the bar when it’s not necessary. I used to say “don’t touch the bar 'till its been on my chest for at least 30 seconds or I’ve turned blue!”

I should have added that I did some barbell complex stuff as a warmup. Meh, not the same.

Lingerie! I love lingerie…so. much. Bra/panties? Babydoll? Nighty?

Hmmm. Where to buy. This depends upon how much you’d like to spend. Victoria’s Secret is only OK in my book. Alot of their panty/nightie materials are kind of cheap and scratchy as opposed to the higher end stuff (Elle MacPherson Intimates, Cosabella, Simone Perele, Chantelle and stupid-expensive-but-beautiful La Perla). That said, VS has the best bras ever, if that’s what you mean by undergarments. In addition to the Vickys Secret, you can check out these links:

I think they both ship to Canada. Honestly, I spend most of my lingerie money at Nordstoms (www.nordstrom.com) but I don’t know if they ship to Canada.

You are going to be a big help I can tell :slight_smile:

Well as long as you deleted it. That kind of talk is highly offensive to someone with my delicate sensibilities.

Nice job on the deads and the bench…and, uh, scoring some lingerie.

Thanks. I’m just trying to hit your numbers. Stall for about 6 months will ya.

I just spent the last hour looking at beautiful young women wearing bras and panties. It sounds better than it is…WAY too many choices. I have a headache.

it’s good that someone appreciates a straight man

oye.

carefull with the sizing. If she’s sensitive it might bite your ass.

I’ve snooped in her underwear drawer and the sizing is pretty consistent…medium on the bottom, 36C on the top.

Actually, I have pretty good luck with buying her clothes. Probably a third of her closet is from me. But I’m a bit of a lingerie newb. However, I am getting some expert help :slight_smile:

smart man :slight_smile: My husband doesn’t buy me clothes (I’m way too fussy) but I must say the few times he gave me jewelry they are pieces I adore and wear very often. He totaly knows who he is buying for which is very flattering.

Found a guy locally selling a solid rack with pulleys, bars, olympic DBs, 400lbs of weights and some other stuff. Saves me a bunch of $$. He is on the fence though. Says he wants to use the stuff but is “too lazy”. Yay for lazy.

Talk him into selling it - you’ll never regret it!

I’m hoping to close the deal on Wednesday. I’m looking forward to it.
I foresee bands, chains, sled, blast straps, weight vest, T-bar setup, dip/chin belt,…the gift ideas are almost endless :slight_smile:

Spent the afternoon digging a trench to the building for the power cable. My GPP kinda sucks…especially after the company Xmas party last night.

Tell him he can come over and use it once you have it setup, most likely you’ll never see him.
