UM, WHAT?! haha yikes! I try not to be too impulsive with my purchases either. It’s tough with something like this that you can’t return!
yep…it wasn’t here at our house, but here in the same neighborhood. Yay for 50 yr old military housing 
I think I’ll still go look at least…but I’m afraid that if I see it and it looks good I won’t be able to say no!!
There’s a health nut store in the area and I want to get some miracle noodles, lol…an excuse to drive 20 minutes anyway…
oh! noodles, in case anyone was interested: http://www.amazon.com/Miracle-Noodle-Fettuccini-7-Ounce-Packages/dp/B004JRXZKM/ref=sr_1_4?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1301618901&sr=1-4
going to go look at this cool shoe store I was supposed to go to last weekend too. I want to get my hill sprints on!
My other new toy I want to get: http://www.amazon.com/Apex-Roman-Hyper-Extension-Bench/dp/B000ASB66O/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1301619485&sr=1-1
about your benching: you did a lot of set of 10 reps before you did 115. Next time don’t go over 5 reps and that 115 will feel easier. But I’m sure you knew that
Your arch is almost as sick as PMPM’s. How do you DO that?
On the noodles, my one recommendations is to rinse them with water before you even cook em. Then cook em how ever you want too, I usually warmed em up with some chicken broth and ate it with my veggies. I have not had em in a while though.
I’ve had em before…just something funky to have every once in awhile.
I think I lost some sleep thinking about whether I should even go look at that cage… 
ugh…
N- yes, I know…it was kind of spontaneous, otherwise…
Grny- I’m not sure! Just flexible I guess. I can still do back bends like I did all the time when I was a kid…
hmm, I was thinking…
maybe I could cut this guy a deal and he can shave some $$$ off…
I don’t need the:
2x 25lb.
2x 10lb.
4x 5lb.
2x 2-1/2 lb.
plates…and I might not even need the bench…depends if it adjusts or not. Maybe I could give him half now, and half later?? hmm…that way I can tell him it will give me time to rearrange the room and I could give him extra $$$ to put the cage back together for me…yay!!
I’d feel better about that…
In the first pic, your butt does look like it’s vanishing…“butt” in the second one, it’s back
LWI MIM!
EDIT: Just noticed your comments on the cage deal. I won’t strangle you for not getting it, as I completely understand impulse buys and regretting shit shortly after buying it. It’s a good deal sure, but another will come along in the future if and when the time is right, so you get no hate from me!
It’ll all “work out” in the end!
Good luck with the cage/weights/bench deal. I hope it all works out well!

MMmmmmmmmm Meat.
Bettah!
oh what a day!
Gym’d it, worked up to 135 for a couple reps just to make sure I still had it…yep! and fairly easily, which surprised me.
got my check, went to the bank…drove to the guys house to check out the stuff…it’s a power rack/squat cage, whatever you want to call it.
Told him I would think about it and call tomorrow morning with my decision, but I think I’ve already decided…i want to get it, but just not tomorrow. If he’ll hold it for two weeks then I can make sure I have enough money and am not splurging more than I already am( getting more ink, and running shoes)
Daughter’s b-day is coming up too!
Drove the rest of the way to town where the health nut food store is…took a wrong turn and ended up at a cool wharf/marina thing I didn’t know existed! Hopped out to take a look and see if there was a restroom, nope locked…ok, cool, we’ll come back some other time when its warm!
Found health store, no noodles or cacao nibs But at least we got to use the restroom…
Drove to chinese buffet…yum! first time I ate without sushi or rice or noodles, etc…doable. Kinda greasy though.
Drove over the bridge to the non existent Running/Shoe store…not there anymore!! GRRRRRR
Drove back over the bridge, went to the store on base and talked to a really helpful shoe lady…ordered some shoes to try that they will ship to the store.
came home…
All the while, my daughter was having a very dramatic non-good behavior day. I pulled over two times, turned off the car and waited til she was done. I can’t drive when she is shrieking.
potential new toy…
would it be weird to have this in an upstairs room? I dunno…it just seems weird. I could probably keep it outside? Is there some sort of non-rust stuff you can spray on it?

Pretty decent find, MiM.
Upstairs, I’d be afraid of smashing through the floor if you’re doing DL’s or rack pulls, maybe.
As for outside, you could re-paint it with some outdoor rust-proof paint, surely! Just retouch up after it gets beat up a bit.

Feeling Lean…but I think I’m ‘LITERALLY,’ working my butt off :([/quote]
You do look lean. But you also look STRONG. Perfect combo!
Your butt is just blending into your hams. Don’t worry, it’s still there
Nice cage! I don’t know the answer to your questions. Mine’s in the basement.
