Maybe you could give the prowler to your wife for Mothers’ Day? I, for one, would be way pleased to get one.
What did you use for runners? Plans and a picture are necessary!
Played with your prowler yet?

i would be much less unhappy if my young bride would play with me on my toys. but, she refuses on moral grounds. she is against all things resistance-based

2x6’s. I have no camera-fu, but I will try and borrow a camera. I think with a picture, plans would be unnecessary - very simple

not yet. 8 hours in the car, some of it during a snowstorm, followed by 5 hours of work were not conducive to pushing. my hip still feels like crap, but I have been trying to work on loosening it while i work. I am hoping to give it a little shove tonight…
I think you need to bring the prowler to work and push in the hallway at lunch time.
5/23/11 5/3/1 bench(5) cycle 14
225x 5. are you kidding me?
this is what happens when you don’t bench for 3 or 4 weeks. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU
Where you been?

i been crazy busy.
You know how U2 is touring with The Fray? I am listening to the Fray, they are about 30 minutes into their set. Wife and son are at the show. wife is a huge fan, so when she could only get 2 tickets, I said I’d stay home. I may be the most loyal husband ever. I am in my back yard, sipping rye and typing. We are less than a mile from rice-eccles stadium, so I can hear the show pretty well. oh, they just said this is their last song, so I am thinking U2 is on at 8.
God I love rye whiskey
you are a good man.
nice work.
Thanks Kev. Sadly, its nearly 830, and U2 still hasn’t come on. Id be disappointed if I weren’t half in the bag listening for free.
I may take this opportunity to run around everyone’s logs snarking and tearing shit up like a miniature godzilla.
being utah, I will need to get a jacket soon.
You should have run rampant on the logs. It would have been highly entertaining.

yes, it would have been awesome to behold. sadly, i’m too lazy
toda, I finally did something worth writing about. sort of…
5/3/1 millies(3) cycle 16
150x 6
rolled the shit out of my glutes and adductor
hit some curls with an empty bar.
started back on a strict low-carb (veg are only carbs) diet today. Its the only thing that has helped me lose weight. My eating has been out of control for over a month, I am back up to 298, and my pants are so tight its hard to breathe. hence the diet.
Also, walked for a whopping 15 minutes. it has been months since i have done this.
Here is the plan. lift pretty much every day, but just main lifts, no accessories. just trying to recreate my old need to have a barbell cutting my hands. Gonna take it slow and frequent, adding accessories back in after a few weeks.
Start doing fasted walking. this really helped the fat loss for the piddly few weeks I did this. so I am doing it again. it is also good rehab for the hip. I can’t do anything with my adductor if the muscle isn’t warm. I can’t do it this week, but next week I will start doing the fasted walking in the morning, followed by leaning on the prowler. I still haven’t trained with it. I am such a disappointment.
So, that’s my big fucking plan. I am pretty angry at myself right now, which usually helps to keep me focused.
work more harderer
old lardass

I think frequent (every day) low volume training is more productive than say, 3x a week higher volume lifting even if the volume is equal.
I think that having a daily metabolism boost really works.
Good luck with the new plan.
work harderer indeed
glad to see you
soon youll be all swvelt
walked at lunch again today.
stayed on my diet again today.
lifted again today.
2 days in a row bitches, I’m like a machine, some fucking kind of fitness robot of doom.
today I did some snatch-grip deadlifts, concentrating on 2 things: keeping my back as upright as possible, and getting a big power shrug at the top.
135x 5
185x 5
225x 3
255x 3/3
on the 3d rep of the last set, my form was degrading pretty bad. Since I want to get back in slowly, instead of letting my ego get me hurt, I ended there.
as part of my warm up, I did a bunch of single leg step up things on an 8" box. I did like 8 sets of 5 on each leg. did them mostly to warm up my adductor before I rolled it. Now, my quads are almost cramping. I am gonna be sooooore tomorrow.
but, so will everyone else on here, so who gives a shit.
going to laramie next week, taking the prowler, gonna use it this time. just need to stay consistent. since i lift at dinner time (usually while roasting flesh) I can keep that habit. the office in laramie has a little weight room with oly weights (not bumpers). since I will be working every nite until about 9pm, I can go lift around 5, then eat my dinner while i matrix out all the snivels about the days testing. user acceptance testing is just so much fun.
it feels good to be lifting again. just need to keep at it.
keep at it Harder
old lardass
Keep at harder
fitness robot of doom
nice work
Kudos for jumping back on the wagon.
The “BIG SECRET” about the fitness industry: everyting works as long as you do it consistently for six months.
Now execute and kill it.
