I know, I know... I'll do better next time.

Happy Birthday!

Not a bad workout, either!

finboy · 09-27-2006, 09:43 AM

Happy Birthday, bud! You're only 29 fucking years old? Party!!!

Steve-O-68 · 09-27-2006, 11:54 AM

Thanks gents! I'll be partying at the buffet tonight! Bring on the bulk, baby!

9/28/06 - Full body DE

Dynamic stretching and mobility - 10 minutes

*Workout*

I really like doing the explosive lifts. On the bent over rows, I started with a supinated grip, pull, release, switch to pronated grip, lower, pull, release, switch to supinated and so on. I nearly dropped the weight a couple times on the last set. The snatches were excruciating... Mr Pukey made an appearance after the 2nd set (shouldn't have had that chicken burrito before I went to the gym) so I switched to hang cleans for the last set.

Side note... while I was doing the cleans, my workout partner paid me a nice, unsolicited comment. "Damn dude, I hope my back looks as thick as yours does when I'm doin those..."

Steve,
I hope the birthday didn't wipe you out.
Your lifts look good. Pretty strong for a mere child of 29.

Yup...a mere child.

Mr. Pukey stopped by? Glad I missed that one!

Good workout. Took just over 90 minutes. Drank a quart of whole chocolate milk during my workout for energy. But by the time I did my last shrug, I was totally wiped out. Taking my shirt off in the locker room was a challenge...

Had a total dork moment on my way to the locker room. On Sunday nights, the basket ball court is reserved for volleyball. There were a few people in there playing, including an incredibly got girl I've seen around the gym a few times. As I walked past the doors to the BB court, the ball comes flying out. I reached out and grabbed the ball without breaking my stride. So I toss it back, but the ball hits the top of the doorway and bounces right back to me - nearly hitting me in the face. All the people playing volleyball laughed, my workout partner laughed, and several people on the weights laughed. Heck, I got a good chuckle out of it. If only my future baby momma hadn't seen it...

EdChap · 10-02-2006, 11:13 AM

Hahaha, there's no better way to humiliate yourself then messing up a throw in front of a group of people.

Nice workout, though!

finboy · 10-02-2006, 12:46 PM

Nice work Steve. Whenever I see that volume of calf presses you do, my own calves start to twitch!

"...future baby momma..."??? You crack me up, bud.

Steve-O-68 · 10-02-2006, 12:46 PM

The funny part was I was less than 3 feet away from the door... where the hell was I throwing to??

Steve-O-68 · 10-02-2006, 01:03 PM

I'm gonna have a hell of a time reaching my 405 goal by Halloween! I pulled 380 a little while back, but I failed at 365 three times yesterday! I think I need to stay away from the liquor and other extracurricular activities for a while. I'm sure the weekend splurges and excessive alcohol consumption over the last 30 days has not helped...

Note to self - just say no!

EdChap · 10-02-2006, 01:10 PM

Haha, 3 foot? Nice!

I failed at 365 the other day too, I guess the race is on! But you've got a major advantage having pulled 380 before, this is all unchartered territory for me. I'd like to pull 4 plates by January 1st.

EdChap · 10-15-2006, 02:35 AM

Yo, Steve! WHERE ARE YOU?!

Cynic · 10-15-2006, 02:52 AM

I don't recall seeing him on MH lately either.
