It could have been worse. It could have been aerobics.

I knew what you wrote. Hell, I was here when you wrote it. How the hell I read "sandwhiched" I'll never know.

Very.

Congrats, Roland.

No, doing aerobics doesn't make you gay. But those videos are damn funny.

[SpacecityPaula]

Oh my.... nothing like the aerobics queen giving an acceptance speech.

Right. It's competing in the aerobics championships that does it.

I know. I need some sort of PR, but I'm too hungry and weak...

Don't bulk up too much, you will lose your flexibility and won't be able to do those high can-can kicks.

Workout after work...

A, DB Clean & Push Press, 5x5, 75

B1, Zercher Squats, 5x5, 205
B2, BB BO Row, 5x5, 185

C1, Renegade Rows, 25lbs, 3xMax (6/8/8)
C2, Overhead Shrugs, 75lbs, 3x12

The zercher squats were soooo hard. Each set was almost the last set, but I managed to make it through.

That is all. Just got back from my friend's 40th birthday party and I'm off to bed.

[RedWifey]

Hey,

We're baaack! Wow! We missed quite a bit while on vacation! That was something!!

Congrats on the career move! Hope it works out super great!!

Hugs!

Bootcamp instructor, awesome!

So you'd be looking to make fitness a full time thing if it all works out right?

Here's my plan. Subject to change without notice.

I love my current job, and I've actually just changed positions from the technical side to the sales side. Two weeks back, I was the sales focused tech guy, now I'm the technical sales guy. Subtle change to the viewing audience, but at Xerox, it's a bit change. Anyhow, I love it, so plan to keep that going strong.

I'd like to do the fitness and nutrition thing part time, which includes training a few people a week and counseling them on nutrition, as well. A bootcamp type group training is my preferred style, I think. At least to start out.

There are some other things, too. But, I'll have to see how that workload plays out. I love to cook, and I find it simple and easy. I would love to hold classes on healthy cooking. The ones that I've looked into aren't healthy, IMO.

[stingo]

I wish I could find some good cooking classes here - even somewhat unhealthy ones.

[Phaedrus49er]

My cooking class is self-taught. The girl is my guinea pig--er, willing taste tester.

[Aoife]

I don't get to taste most of what I cook.

[RedLefty]

I can't believe that when I left for a week, your log turned into the super-gay happy fun aerobics hotspot.

I'm bringing testosterone back.

[Phaedrus49er]

Man, if Michael is our last hope for an infusion of testosterone, well...

[mom2w]

OMG! I finally get some time in here and this is what I find? Here I was feeling kind of lame with my boot camp resistance band workouts and now it seems the entire world is going to heck...

[Lost Dog]

It's so much easier to eat at a big ol' deficit on work days. The weekends suck for dieting!

[Aoife]

I hear ya. During school I rarely eat. Makes me wonder how I manage to gain 10 pounds a year.


oh yeah, snickers.

Last night...

A, DB Hang Cleans, 3x3, 95 (each hand)

B, DB Hang Snatch, 3x4, 80 (each hand)

C1, Chins, 3x5, +25, 5/5/4
C2, Alt DB Bench, 3x5, 75, 5/5/5

Done

I feel like I hit my maxes on these things this time. I was beat by the end.

Those are some pretty good numeros for your cleans and snatches, my friend...

Your neighborhood on fire yet? It's all sorts of smokey/hazy up in the Bay area.

[Phaedrus49er]

Impressive numbers, my friend.

[UConnJulie]

Bah ... my grandmother cleans more than that!!

[RedLefty]

How are you already doing that much with the left arm after a year of letting it hang limply and ache? Freak.

Thanks. No smoke or fire that I can see. Where is it supposed to be?

Is she single? Is that in bad taste? But, is she?

My left is still a bit weaker, but it was weaker before the year of nothing, too. The snatches and cleans are more of a power from the hips and ass kinda thing. A good shrug at the right time, of course.

I'm not really sure why I didn't lose any strength in pressing. Maybe the pushups were enough to keep me were I was?

[tkinsley]

There are about 800 fires burning within a three hour radius of me. Nothing in So Cal, huh? Lucky...

And there's the pitch... a high floater...
