JP, sorry to keep bothering you bro but I got the impression that you didn't really approve of the W/O I asked you about the other day, and to be honest, looking at it again I think maybe it's a little too aggressive to start with after being off for 3 months. Do you agree? I'm thinking about IM phase 1. What do you think? Maybe I can't make up my mind because I'm procrastinating. I'm ready to rock but I also want to be smart about starting. Give me an HONEST opinion, I can take. ( from family [img]tongue.gif[/img] )
Thanks alot bro. ( did you make it up at 5a.m?) Any advice or direction will be mucho appreciated.
Peace to you and yours
Buster

Yo Bro. Hm... I think I like IM better phase one for you right now, alternating any overhead pressing motions for some of the safer moves I have shown you already.

You're not bugging me Buster, that is why I am here! And if you say it again I am putting you over my knee!

Thumbs up

JP, I did read your response and I got your e-mail. Thanks for checking up on me. Sorry it took so long to get back to you, I've been in and out of the house on a steady basis for the last 2 days...son's baseball, daughter's tumbling and dance, not to mention Mother's day preparations ( trying to hang a ceiling fan right now..Thanks for the break ) I have decided to do IM phase 1, at least for the 8 week cycle and then we'll see what happens. It's just kinda hard to hold back, you know the old balls to the wall thing but I am focused on being patient and doing this thing right i.e. injury free. So, thanks again Mother Hen and I'm slightly scared to comment on the " I'll put you over my knee" thing ( HEADLINE: See 200lb man over the knee of a 200lb man sitting on swiss ball... come one, come all [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) Make sure Erica has a nice Mother's Day(Fathers Day is just around the corner you know!!)
Thanks alot bro. Peace to you and yours.
BUSTER

Hey Buster, I think hanging a ceiling fan qualifies as an overhead press! Tell your wife we told you not to do those!

Cool

BTW, I have a ceiling fan story to tell. Talk about an overhead press!!! I took the old one down and that wasn't too bad. That was when I checked my e-mail and saw something from mother hen so I took a little break to respond. Well I got working on the new one and realized that the old electical box was too ragged to install a new fan in so I had to take that down and install a new one.

That is the sad thing about us men. We could be in a body cast and on our deathbed and we would risk our last breath to get some nooky. Injured shoulder? No problem! (Buster swings in the room like Tarzan by the ceiling fan he just hung, and picks up his wife and flings her over his shoulder, beats his chest). It's like you never had an injury if you get the chance at some action! Why are we so pathetic and predictable?

Sorry about that. Anyway, after I got the new box in I proceeded to hang the new fan. Still not too bad. By this time my shoulder is starting to hurt a little bit but I have to get this up for Mother's Day, right? So, I finally get it up. By this time I've had my arm's extended overhead about 2 hours, but I've got it up and I'm FINISHED right? I flip the breaker switch and everything comes on.........except the fan motor! So I check all my connections and rewire everything and flip the breaker switch and everything works......except the fan motor! So, I take the whole thing back down, go to Lowe's, swap it out and get back home. Now by this time my shoulder is smoking but more than that I'm determined to get this damn fan hung. So, I've got it out of the box and about half way assembled and the phone rings. Whatthefu)k? I pick up the phone and I hear this beautiful young voice say" Dad, aren't you picking us up from school today? You're late." So, I go pick my kids up from school and finally finish getting this new ceiling up and flip the breaker switch and geuss what happened. Nothing!!! Well, I am about to start crying when my son comes in the room and says" cool, Dad you got my new ceiling fan up" and goes over and turns the fan ON and everything works. So, JP please don't harrass me about doing my 6 and a half hour overhead press. BTW, Happy Mothers Day to all with a ceiling fan story! P.S.S I started IM phase one this morning, smoking shoulder and all. That is why I'm in such a good mood
