Excellent!

It's in San Diego. Right near downtown.

that race sounds crazy.. 1200 people getting sprayed with water and jumping over things, I cant even imagine that. Nice work.

[bigDman]

[Lost Dog]

It was a lot of fun!

Just so you know, San Diego is beautiful in October. Always. So, plan for next year.

OK, so I broke out the TRX today--Jonathan stuck it in my program this month--and it KICKED MY ASS.

Just had to throw that in there. I had NO idea what a bitch this thing is!

I forgot to put in the explanation for the *.

* Obviously, I didn't bring a weight plate with me. I used a stool.

Did you make the sloshy pipe thing yet?!

Looks like a great workout! The squeaky door can often result in hotel security getting called.

I'm in Virginia. I don't think it would fit in the overhead compartment on the way back.

I thought of your story. The neighbor did come out of his/her room. I'm assuming to see what was up, but nothing happened. But, I was working out at around 7:30 at night.

You're just full of excuses aren't you?!

They probably just thought someone was gettin' bizay, hotel-style.

Can you tell he's the parent of two small children?

And now a question for the resident creative chef: if I were to spike homemade pancakes with protein powder should I increase the fluid in the recipe? And if so, would I do the egg or the milk? And should I decrease the flour (50/50)?

It's been awhile and I don't spike my kids pancakes anymore, as they can instantly detect even the smallest amount of powder.

What I used to do was replace the milk with premixed protein powder and water or milk. Once it's roughly the consistency of milk, it works about the same. I left the other things about the same, but if you put sugar in your batter, you might be able to leave that out.

Luckily, though, pancakes and waffles aren't as picky as other "baked" goods.

The training center here has an okay gym, so I was able to workout last night. It's mostly machines (really lame ones) and cardio stuff. But, there are some benches, BBs, DBs in strange weights (2, 8, 10, 30, 35, 45, 55, then a single rusty db in 60, 65, 70, 75 (bent), and 80). There's a nice machine that's similar in concept to a freemotion machine, too (but old). There's space I can use to deadlift, so that's tonight or tomorrow.

Last Night's Workout

A, DB Snatch, each hand
1x10, 60lbs
3x8, 75lbs

B1, Seated DB Cleans, 4x6, 45lbs
B2, Cable Woodchop (H2L), 4x12 (each side), 155lbs

C1, Squat (on some sort of sled thing), 4x6, 275lbs
C2, Chinups, 9/8/8/8

D1, Hammer Curls, 4x8, 30lbs
D2, 45 degree cable chest press, 4x12, ???lbs (don't remember)

I thought something was wrong with me. I was squatting on the sled and felt really weak. One plate on each side, plus the 75lbs sled and I was struggling to get 6 reps. I figured it must be some weird leverage thing with the sled. After all, the plates clearly say 45 on the side. Uh yeah. 45 kilograms! I didn't know they even made 100lbs plates!

[gobbla]

you didn't notice they were heavy when you loaded the sled?

[Lost Dog]

Well, they were only 100lbs...
