damn my dislexia. damn that waiting. you can either use this as a total deload or find some bodyweight challenges to keep you on your toes. Hold on Queenie - you’re on you last stretch before home run.
WOOOT!! The Queen has almost made it home!! Talk about insult to injury being stuck yet again and having no gym…insanity. Why is it the air force always seems to be so soft? I’ve dated a USAF and a RAF guy and both of them were…plump shall we say? shrug
Can’t wait to see the post that says “I’m home” 
Isn’t kuwait a deload of the mind as well?
pretty sure it’s a mandatory stop…sucky, but necessary. Hang in there!
I CANT HELP BUT LAUGHING TO MYSELF EVERY TIME I’M IN THE EFFING AF GYM OMGGG>
ok…imagine this:
Weight room, cardio room, and machine room.
Oh, and full size indoor AC’d bball court-fucking AMAZING.
ok. spotless. no dirt no sand, no trash, NO CHALK.
Not a dumb bell out of place. all weights racked, all medicine balls and kettle bells in their proper rack or place. 2 DL platforms with squishy weights. NO CHALK.
no music playing. no metal clanging or banging.
I feel utterly out of place in there.
These people need help.
No offense to any AF in here but HOLY HELL YOU GUYS NEED HELP.
I almost thought they weren’t going to have a squat rack. THEY HAVE ONE. singular. UNO.
Oh well, I used it.
All the machines are brand spanking new.
everything looks new and clean and perfect. It’s creepy.
ANYWAYS:
yesterday I did legs kinda
squats up to 185
leg press up to 340?
standing calf raises
prone leg curl
pull ups
i walk everywhere here. so i walk a fucking lot during the day.
oh and I sat by the pool for about an hour yesterday. got some sun. Need a lot more.
Today:
bis/tris
21s-40lb set bar
incline db curls-25lb
chins
wrist curls-20lb
cable bar reverse curls
one arm cable ext
one arm cable pull down
reverse grip bar cable pull down
seated DB skull crush-50lb
think thats about it
did dips +25 lbs
did chins +15 lbs.
^ never tried that before. felt pretty cool. did sets of 4 or 5.
i was surprised they had a dip belt. looked brand new. probably because no one uses it.
OMG and they have this fancy lil electronic machine thingy. you stand on it and it takes your height/weight/body fat blah blah. wonder how much that set them back.
I’m almost tempted to try it. why not?
that’s all for today
PEACEEEEEEEE

God the Air Force has it easy over there. There was always an Army/Marine side and then the nice, pretty, Air Force side of the base. Bastards.
Hurry up and get back to the states already!
INK- You couldn’t be more right. I can’t even believe they call their 6 months in Kuwait a “deployment”. Yeah, right. IM TRYING TO GET THERE. SHEESH.
In other news. I’ve decided to put the bulk on hardcore when I get home. The wife said that’s what she wants me to do. But she wants me to help her lose some weight. So of course I will.
Just ordered some supps that should be there when I get back. Yay.
Can’t wait to EAT GOOD FOOD AHHHHH!
oh, and drink myself into oblivion.
_PEACE all.
OH, and FM- WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU of all people EVER date any guy that was PLUMP. wtf pretty lady?
so more bb’ing type routines to get all muscley?
I hope Bagram has a decent gym…The hubby says thats probably the only thing that will keep him sane over there. He has turned to the darkside, hehe
Dark side good. insert evil grin
HAHAH! I love hearing about the amenities abroad - a pool? That’s pretty sweet.
Dayum! You and those weighted chins! you’re a beast. So Jealous.
Also love that your lady wants a nice muscled up Mel. Lucky you!
Great training as per usual. Show those AF peeps how its done woman.
Dude girl, I know. The RAF guy was just skinny fat with a typical English beer gut, but he was so sweet and kind…and I got bored. The USAF guy was a Puerto Rican and man did he ever have a silver tongue…and he was more like PL plump, like solid but big gut. FOund out he had a wife and son back home, plus a pregnant fiance in the next town and two other little chickies on the go as well as me. :S Biggest dude I was with was 6’3" and 320lbs. He was a Persian and he was built like a brick outhouse…HUGE, but once again, a gut. Mean bugger too…not very nice to me in many ways. shrugs who knows. I haz issues mebee? 
I’ve often wondered why I’m not batting for the other team lol.
/thread hijack.
Other team has nice bewbs. But the men’s team does have a few rare pearls. My outlook on peeps is to be open-minded and see beyond gender, I’ve met people who attracted me on both sides of the track when I’m honest about it - Ok, this from a woman who married at 24.
I wish I had worldy wisdom but I’m really a geek. What I’m trying to say is does it really matter? as long as the person you’re with feels right?
I need more coffee before getting all weird-o like that. lol
Love ya Mel!
N
MiM- I would imagine they do. So glad he came to the iron side
N- yes. very, very good.
Maschyy- Yes, the air force has it really rough over here. not. Oh and yes, i can get beastly. And yes, I was surprised when she said she wanted me muscled up. I thought she would prefer me leaner. Since when we first got together she said she didn’t really like the muscley look at all.
FM- we wouldn’t mind if you came and played for us. No, not at all. And anyone should feel lucky to deal with any issues you mebbee has!
N again- I wouldn’t call it getting “all weird-o” just getting things out in the open. And I don’t mind.
Todays training: Back
pull ups- a few lol
BB rows up to 145
SLDL up to 205
one arm cable lat pull down. “cobras” idk. got them from one of the articles on this site-50lbs
straight arm bar cable pull down up to 100 lbs
lat pull(behind head) up to 110lbs.
handle grip pull down- 120lbs
Nautilus isolated row machine? i think thats what it was called. I liked it!- up to 125lbs
standing calf raise machine- 3 setsx100lbs
bw back extensions- 2 sets
not much to work with unfortunately. pretty disappointed since back is my favie.
oh well. I was going to Deadlift. but I think they would have looked at me funny.
I can’t deadlift without grunting a little, or dropping the bar once or twice.
I’ve pretty much been living off of Sweet tea, cottage cheese, and tuna.
boring. but oh well. I haven’t had cottage cheese all year, so now I am enjoying it.
Oh, and there is a FUCKING RODENT in my tent.
I can’t seem to find it but I’ve been walking around with the broom ready to squash it. I’m a little freaked out yet, I don’t want it running across my face whilst I’m sleeping.
I think it has become stuck to one of the traps they put out bc it is now running about frantically running into things. but it is under one of the folds of the tent, so I can’t see it, I just hear it.
It’s driving me nuts. Blech. gross. I don’t know if it is a rat or a mouse. mice are okay. Rats are not.

I whole heartedly agree with you N. And it’s not weirdo at all.
Nlmain, I got married at 22 so 
lol. I’ve never worried about it enough to feel unhappy with my choice, but mercy me, I do have a thing for hot chicks Seems I found the right place
Hey Mel, I just wanted to tell you - Last night I got a plant as a b-day present from one of my OG friends.
She’s just a baby, but she looks super strong and you can tell she’s got some spunk to her. I think she’s going to grow big! I thought of you and named her Queenie
Maschy you just made my day. BIG SMILES.
what kind of plant?
snowlady and FM- you’re both hot ladies and add to the mess of us quite well.
There really is an abundance of sexiness in our realm here.
Today I am feeling lazy. I should be at the gym. But I’m sitting on my ass online instead.
Not feeling motivated. Kind of tired? but hungry? I don’t know.
I don’t want to eat without working out though.
I ate with some of the other handlers for dinner instead of eating alone today.
I got a lot of weird looks and comments as I sat down with ach hem:
One chicken breast. Grilled. with a piece of cheese on it.
approx: 10 pieces of green pepper
one glob of cottage cheese.
2 cups tea.
I didn’t think it was that crazy, I tried to explain that I would be having a mango milkshake after dinner (which I did)
I can’t help myself. Milkshakes made to order. so good.
uhg. i feel fat.
_Queen.
Oh, and it was a RAT in my tent. A GIANT FUCKING RAT. holy shit this thing was huge.
I didn’t have the heart to kill it though.
I let it outside nicely. I hope it doesn’t come back in. or i WILL kill it.
