Lol of course not. I was goofing off. Of course, you did remind me a little of a kid in a candy store :wink:

Yeah Nikki, somehow this gunk has persisted. I think I must have a sinus infection-it’s happened before. I’m going to campus health within the next couple of days to see if they can’t hook me up with some antibiotics. Maybe they’ll even give me some real pseudo-ephedrine. I love that stuff,it’s a fantastic stimulant!

okay, my gunky workout today

db ohp: 30s, 5x5
lat pulldown: 115, 5x5, limited range on the last set
lateral raises: 15s, 3x8
back squat: 115x5, 135 4x5 I practically had to chase a pair of guys out of a rack. Every single one was taken the whole time. That’s a real mix of awesome and awful. There was also an Aryan poster boy doing trap bar deadlifts. I didn’t even know we had a trap bar. It’s like I discover a new toy in there every day!

Bleh. I’m gonna go do some reading and sleep. Maybe I won’t wake up with racking coughs every few hours tonight.[/quote]

Now you didnt hear this from me, but here is a tip:

Go to walgreens, ask for broncaid (it is available without prescription but its technically controlled substance). Each tab has 25mg of ephedrine, yes, actual ephedrine. Ive done it before, stuff works. A sniffle when you ask for it helps.

202

ephedrine / pseudoephedrine + cardio = I like cardio :slight_smile:
actually… i think that is how i got hooked on the gym in the first place. 2 weeks after i joined i got pseudoephedrine cold and flu tablets for an airway infection.

203

Hiya alexus!
I’ll see about getting my hands on some crack ahem ephedrine. I’m sure it would do wonders for my attitude and energy levels.

Shuffie was on the fritz today, so no awesome pounding musics for Plucky :frowning:
I put in my headphones for the “don’t mess with me” effect, but needless to say, I was totally ADD. It was actually kind of fun, eavesdropping on the boys all secretivelike and really forcing myself to focus on my lifts.

rack pulls: 135x4, 155x4, 175x3, 195x3, +straps, 215x2, 235x2, 255x1
I was standing on a 45. That last one almost didn’t go up, but somehow it did. A friendly older fellow I’ve never seen before was doing weighted hip thrusts next to me (second time I’ve seen them this week-score!) After I had unloaded and everything, he came over and said, “That’s some nice weight there, tough girl!” I blushed and tittered like a fool, ugh. I don’t know what’s wrong with me today. I saw another guy, who I’ve never seen before, who was so attractive it actually made me nervous. Wanna know how many males make me nervous? Like .01% of the population.

I must have some funky Karma going on right now…

seated cable row, rope attachment: lvl 6, 4x6

incline bench: 65, 5x5

chest supported row: 20, 5x5 I WANT MOAR BACK MUSCLES!!

barbell step ups: 135, 5x5 I absolutely refuse to let myself puss out on these; when I was a sophomore in high school, I carried my best friend (who was heavier than I was) up two flights of stairs on a sprained hip. If I was able to pull that off, I can do some measly step ups.

Hokay, no more rambling. Have a lovely day, folks!

204

Note to self, add some step ups to get as awesome as Plucky

205

Doooo itt! They do really pretty things to my legs. That and the boys get all starry-eyed.

206

I do step ups but not with that kind of weight!
And I don’t want to lower the step in order to do them… eh, I’ll risk falling over with a BB on my back for the sake of glutes.

207

awesome step-ups. How high is your step?

208

Hi Plucky, awesome things going on in here.

Nice rack pulls too, BEAST MODE! Those will definitely help you on your quest for MOAR back muscles!

209

lol, the amount of weight I can do them with is probably due to the fact that I don’t have to step up very far…maybe a foot. I have yet to find a higher step that I can fit in a rack and I would feel safe hopping up on. THE SEARCH IS ON!!

ink- hi :slight_smile: yeah, rack pulls make me happee!

210

Could you drag a bench into the rack, and step onto that?

211

last time i met a guy who was so good looking he made me nervous, he had a lisp.

forget picturing everyone nekkid, give everyone lithpth.

212

Nice rack pulls, back muscles separate the women from the girls. :wink:

213

All I have to say right now is FUCK REGISTRATION

funny frat boy horror story later when I have some semblance of a schedule for next semester

214

Really stellar work in here. Sending good registration karma your way.

215

Kimba, I believe your karma was very good. I have a decent schedule!

I got all the classes I really want/need, but the timing is a little funky:

Mo/We/Fri: Spanish at 1pm (yup, only class those days!!)

Tues/Thur: Biology @ 9:30 am, Psych @ 11 am, weight training @ 2 pm, and on Tuesdays my Bio lab is at 6:30 pm

I can totally work with that.

As the start of the semester approaches I’ll see if I can’t move things around, maybe sign up for one more class. Twelve hours is a little skimpy.

Okay, my most recent FratBoi interaction: yesterday, approximately 10:45 am: This is the same guy who invited me to that party, and has been inviting me to stuff every week since:

Bro: Did you get my text? <stupid question, hun. Of course I got it. I just chose not to respond.>

Me: Um

Bro: Are you free this weekend? <yup, that was the text>

Me: Depends; why are you asking me? <just in case it’s something really cool…not likely>

Bro: Oh no you don’t! Answer the question first!

Me: Fine. I’m free this weekend. Now why are you asking?

Bro: I was wondering if you would go to our informal with me this weekend.

Me: “Informal?”

Bro: Yeah.

Me: Explain.

Bro: It’s in the mountains somewhere. <yes, he’s always this cryptic, the bastard>

Me: I need more details.

Bro: What do you mean? <god this guy’s an idiot>

Me: Where is it? Who’s going to be there? What should I wear? Will everyone be wasted? Will there be BEARS?

Bro: Yes (to the wasted part) no (to the bears part) and then he says something about sleeping

Me: Oh, so it’s a CAMPOUT!

Bro: yeah, but we get cabins!

Me: I’m not sure how I feel about sleeping in cabins in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of wasted frat boys [DOT DOT DOT]

Bro: We’re not like the others! I’m not.

Me: Suuuuuurrrrreee

Bro: I mean, if you’re not comfortable with it, that’s ok. <gee, thanks bud. I totally need your permission>

Me: I’m not.

Bro: Oh. Okay. <crestfallen, deflated like the balloons from your birthday party three days ago> walks off

I left that conversation feeling quite…buoyant. That might have been the first time I’ve ever straight up shot a guy down without any sort of excuse-making, ego sparing bullshit.

216

I realized last night that, in its short lifespan, my log has received OVER NINE THOUSAND (!!) views. To celebrate, and reward my loyal viewers, I decided that this weekend there shall be…progress pics!!!

Stay tuned!

217

Boys can/are stupid. They lack the brain cells for normal human interaction.

218

loved your attitude in that exchange. way to stand up and be smart.

and boy you shure are purty.

I’d invite ya to my cabin to get waisted too. anytime. luve the curls.

ok nuf flirtin. I really don’t miss registration. I remember spending days on the phone trying to get something decent.

219

…

220

Thanks nlmain! You may flirt with me anytime. The difference is, I’d totally get wasted with you in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Then we could go skinny dipping and eat delish frenchie food!

Yeah, boys are dumb.

Today’s liftin’: I was feeling a little puny and I don’t know why, but whate’er

Front squat: 5x5 95 I’m still working on form with these. Can’t quite hit the “yeah, that feels right” button yet, but I shall persist…

db OHP, 5x5 w/ 30s as soon as I don’t have to push with my legs I’ll go up

lat pulldown: 5x5 115 for 3 sets, then the lats pooped out and I dropped to 100 for 2 sets grrr

lateral raises: 3x8, 15s

db pullovers: 3x8, 40…30 for the last, again lats skipped out on me. Whyyy?

Then I skipped on over to Campus Health Services to get my persistent gunk syndrome assessed. The lady looked in all my cavities, hemmed and hawed, and told me it didn’t look bacterial…somehow she thinks it’s allergies?? I take Zyrtec every day… but she prescribed me a steroidal nasal spray and some hardcore cough suppressants, and told me to stop taking the Zyrtec cause it might be causing the throat dryness/irritation. Fine. We’ll see how the new meds do. Cause I totally need to take more pills…sigh…
