Anyway have a buyer for the truck minus the engine and tranny so ill be pulling them and selling separate the tranny nothing special just a 350 turbo but the motor is a 327 out of a 1966 corvette has the Camel hump heads the original 327 intake with oil filler up front etc etc.
has about 10,000 on a quality professional rebuild and was not a rough 10,000. has been sitting just chillin for a bit. anyway if you know anyone or are interested in such a thing give me a holler. Ill prob ebay the thing if not.

Yes half ton c10 did gut it its pretty much original just different motor and tranny but essentially could have had these options Minus the vet engine it would have had a High torque 327
[quote]good luck with the PD. I’m studying criminal justice right now, hoping to follow the same path.

Thanks FD is my first choice but PD makes so much better money its still hard for me to decide. One more year and I have a political science degree…thats my fallback
OK training brief today been running shovel, sledge, concrete saw, hammer drill, etc etc all day largely with one arm. Damn brick wall ended up being three course SOLID, over 12 inches thick and these are real bricks from the 30’s put in by real craftsmen. Of note man forgot how much I love this stuff, I really do. I hate living in construction but just generally like labor destruction, rebuilding, etc. Think I may go back to it remodeling etc some, knock the dust off the old tool belt and concrete tools
Oh and bathroom Im taking before and afters to show what Ive been doing and think going to say fuck it go all out if were doing this and put in a steam room sauna. Yhea baby

1B) one arm Pull down
2warm ups
120 x 3 (9sets) 1 set x 6
2A) Cable press
These are kind of like an extreme ROM decline press I lean against a pole to avoid using body weight
80 x 5, 5
50 x 20
2B) cbl face pull
50 x 10 x 3 sets
2C)
Bench leg raises

I hear ya…
I run my own contracting buisness. I’m putting in a theatre room in my basement right now. I’m internally wiring everything with flat screen 1080P tv and flush mounted surround sound throughout the room. It’s going to be the ultimate man room.
there is definitely a level of pride in doing things yourself. People are always amazed that I do all my own mechanical work on my trucks and harley as well as all my own repairs and renovations on the house. The days of the do it yourselfers is all but gone.

Just got back from a weekend in Maine. We tore out a few hundred feet of wire fence that had fallen down years ago and was stapled to the ground by the hay growing through it. Hauled the fence away, dug up old fence posts, and piled them neatly for a burn later in the season. Getting ready to build a 20x12 deck up there, just need a few good weekends. I’m a huge fan of DIY, craftsmanship is always better, and you save a ton.
My back is a little tweaked right now. It was getting stiff Friday night, and all the hauling of fence didn’t do it any favors. This weeks workouts will change a bit to test out durability. I’ve got some soft tissue work lined up for tomorrow, but I will need to do some light pulling today and maybe Thursday to test the waters. I’m not going to second guess anything until I test it out today, and I’ll take it from there.

Hey meat, what are Kroc Rows? I googled it but didn’t really find anything.[/quote]
It’s just one arm dumbell rows done heavy to failure. Matt K. over at elite fitness started doing them. They apparently help with grip strength and lockout power for deads as well as the benefits for benching.

I definitely agree with you about craftsmanship. I do all my work becuase now a days its all about getting the job done as fast as possible. I put a deck on my house last year and took me most of the summer because I’m so anal about things. No nails at all. all screwed together with all the hole drilled out first, so no splitting of the boards.
good luck with your back. take it slow but steady.

High rep rows

Excellent, thanks!
So, for dumbbell rows should I always do them leaned over a bench like that? I’ve been doing them bent over like barbell rows. With a dumbbell in both hands and really working on squeezing my shoulder blades together.
Is one way better than the other? Does anyone even do them the way I’m doing them? Or am I just a freak?

every house I lived in as a kid was built by my father from the ground up. I’ve helped him build three others to sell.
I’m hoping when he retires to go into buisness with him. he’s pretty amazing. He’s a licensed plumber, electrician, carpenter, mason, and mechanic. I am very lucky to have a father like him.

So, last night I was doing some 3 board presses. (videos are under my profile) Anyways, when I got to 215, I had trouble getting the bar off the rack. But didn’t have any trouble pressing the bar once I got it into position.
Does that mean that I had the pins set too high? Or am I just weak?
Sorry for all the questions. But thanks for answering them!

That’s awesome. I would love to learn stuff like that. I’m not very crafty. But I’ve never had a chance to be so I don’t know if I could be crafty. Or if I’m just your typical computer geek! haha
I just bought a house so I’m going to have to learn to be craft really quick!

If you want to keep your shoulders healthy, you definitely need to get a handoff when benching. I get one for everything over 135.
lifting off the bar yourself can lead to a serious injury. but to answer your question, no you are not weak. If you are short like me, I would have to round my shoulders to get the bar off the pins. rounding shoulders during the press=not good.

think of them as a variation. your way is fine, but to really hit the weight heavy, I would do them one arm at a time.
I do mine differently though. I place one hand on my thigh, grab the dumbell with the other hand and row it without a bench. i also turn the dumbell in towards my opposite leg to get a better stretch at the bottom.

Thanks yet again meat. I will try to get a lift from now on. The only problem is I workout by myself and sometimes it’s hard to find someone.

I like the sound of your variation. I’ll be sure to give it a try one of these days.

Holy shit, did I just write that, or did you? I built a deck on my house last year, all 2x10 construction, doubled the header and rim joists, 6x6 notched posts for the railings, all predrilled and screwed.
Decking is mahogany 1x6 screwed with stainless steel trim screws. It took the whole summer too, but you could anchor a ship to it…now if I just had some water nearby…
