also, found a great new tank to wear whilst there, it’s camoflauge and says “Going Commando” on it, so be sure to come and say hi and i’ll let you know how truthful it is after a few set of lunges
hey,
great progress so far. out of curiousity, what was the issue with your back?

I thought commando was a default setting for men and they only had to fill you in when they were wearing underpants. I guess I learn something new everyday or I’m associating with the wrong crowd.
lol, you said underpants

Damn straight. I’m one hard talking chick.
When I was a kid there was a neighbourhood boy who, when angry at us, would call us ‘panty hose’. Now that is harsh.

Are you sure he wasn’t just pissed off at you for not going commando? Maybe he was calling you “panty wearing hoes”?
PS why does my log always go off on tangents like this whenever NeelyDan gets involved?

Do they have straight barbells that go up to that weight? Why yes, I believe they do. As a result, stay the hell out of my powerrack.

So I went and saw the super-duper Chiro/ART guy that all the powerlifters love. He told me what was wrong and how we were going to fix it and did some treatment. I’m a little sore now, but I feel better knowing what’s wrong.
Bad news however is that I can’t squat or deadlift until at least next weekend. He’s testing me again in a week and how that goes will dictate if I get to squat and/or DL that Sunday. Good news is that I’m still 9 weeks out from my meet.
The thing we’re all eager to know:
-
Will you be able to play the harpsichord?
-
Did he adjust your attitude while you were there?
I’m glad you liked him. In my opinion, he is a rock star of chiropractors.[/quote]
In answer to your questions:
-
I was never able to play the harpsichord. However, I will now be able to play the harp like all the other angels
-
No. He said he only had 30 minutes for me today and that wasn’t nearly enough time. He refilled my bitchpill prescription while I was there tho. He said if I wanted to be less bitchy that I should look into getting laid, but it didn’t really sound like he was offering so I guess I’ll have to look elsewhere.
He’s a no-nonsense kind of guy. Tells it to you straight and when he talks, he’s one of those guys you want to listen to. Plus given that he’s Bill’s buddy, it’s not like I can sneak back into lifting before I’m allowed

When I went to him, I thought he was offering. It turned out he wasn’t. It was one of those awkward uncomfortable moments that you laugh about… well never really.
Just be glad you can read people better than I can.
And might I add… angel my ass.

So THAT’S why he blushed when I mentioned your name.
I put in that “the other angels” comment since you commented on my statement about “all the other douchebags” implying I was a douchebag. Hoping you’d catch the implication of me being an angel
As an aside, I’m sick as a dog right now. My brother brought home some sort of bug that has him, my mother and I all under the weather at the moment. I have to suck it up and make it to work in the morning for a meeting with my new client. Should be special. I’ll try not to sneeze or fall asleep during the 3 hour meeting… gah!

I actually left work shortly after lunch today. I was freezing cold and shaking. I had a hot bath and lay on the sofa. Daytime t.v. sucks big time. I could cheerfully smash Dr. Phil with the plate you didn’t want to hit the guy with earlier in the week.
Needless to day, I didn’t go to the gym which is fine. I’m resting my sucky delts right now hoping my bench doesn’t tank worse than it already is.

Well if the whole club gets sick, I’ll take the blame. I was going from cold (wearing sweats, a hoodie, socks and under my duvet), to hot and sweaty, back to cold. Pleasant.
You’ll find this horribly entertaining (and likely disappointing), but I love Dr. Phil. My mom and I are very into it. I didn’t get to watch it today cuz I was passed out in bed, but apparently it wasn’t that good anyway.
A few weeks ago my mom and I were yelling at the people on it cuz some early-20s y.o. guy was claiming he shouldn’t have to pay his ex-girlfriend childsupport because he told her before they started having sex that “He wasn’t ready to be a father”.
They used protection, but she still got preggers and kept the kid. But he told her so he shouldn’t have to pay. Even worse was that his mother was on there supporting him. I think my mom would have used that plate to hit her upside the head!
So I approached the club manager at union station to inquire about them getting a power rack, because I’ve been thinking about adding a 5th arm session to my weekly routine, and the conversation went something like this:
Me: hey, a couple of the other locations have added a power rack recently, any word on whether this one might?
Him: well, we have smith machines
lol

You must have crazy huge arms by now.
Maybe the problem is that you called it a power rack, not a curl rack.
I used a smith machine when I was in Mississippi. It was very nice for helping put my squat suit on. I’ve heard tell of people doing this but never realised how well it would work.
I don’t feel like working right now.
a club manager said this? what a goof. how is training at union, i hit up the eaton center location sometimes
Court’s gonna kick my ass, lol.
Training @ union is …meh, it’s fine, it’s just not worth the “premium” membership fee they charge…paying like 25 bucks more a month for effectively towel service is lacking in a return on investment, lol.
gear wise they are pretty standard for goodlife, obviously haven’t gotten the power rack though.
i dunno, when i buy a house of my own i’ll be saying goodbye to commercial gyms me thinks.

Well, ouroboro, you don’t get 15.575 inch arms without massive amounts of volume. I don’t make the rules, I just live by 'em. It’s all worth it in the end though.
I’m not gonna lie, I have no idea what a squat suit is or what it does. Are you still gonna talk to me?
I don’t feel like workin’ either, been here since 8am, and gonna be here till 10 tonight. Trade?
your paying more for the convienence part. i left working for them when they bought out bally’s. crap management

Sure I’ll still talk to you. I like knowing people that can make me feel superior in at least one aspect of my life. Lord knows I tend towards the idiot aspect of idiot savant in all other respects of my life.
No, I don’t want to trade jobs. If I wanted those hours, I could have stayed in advertising. The cash was great but that’s about all. I prefer my roofing gig. It has better hours and scintillating conversation.
My arms are 10.5". I have a long way to go.
