Lol, it seems I stay in an alternate universe most of the time. Unfortunately, I'm not having a party at the moment. I'm trying to get some reports done but couldn't resist replying. I would love to chat with you sometime. (not hitting on you, lol) I like your no-nonsense aproach to things and I've been a UFC fan since the tournament days. Back to my reports. Have a great day!!

Cool. Always available to chat. Time for a change. New Day, New Week, New Thread.

Thanks for being the first Poster! :D

Good Morning, Alternates!

[SP1966]

Alternates? :eek: Damn, I was in sight of the lead as a Noticer! :eek:

Women, just when you think you figured them out they go and change! :D

OH, and good morning to you too!

Edit: Well I guess I am still in second place (tied) here, so no loss! ;)

[TuffGirl]

Glad to have you!

How do you like it here?

[SP1966]

It's nice, the sky is blue, the grass is green, the air is clear, minty fresh even! :D

Only one complaint, the guy in your OP, he is wearing a sweater vest... ewwwwwwwwww!

[TuffGirl]

Oh, No. Not locked down. I'm just looking for change. :)

Post here if you want. :D

[SP1966]

I have a pocket full of change, it is all the wife will let me sneak out of the house with! It's yours if you need it! :D

[omnisjdi]

Oh, No. Not locked down. I'm just looking for change. :)

Post here if you want. :D

Like in the alternate universe I wouldn't have to think about what I'm posting in threads. Too many recent threads requiring thought.

[IronCamp]

Change is good!

[GnomusMaximus]

[PLANETGETLOW]

So my brother and his family accepted the job in ATL.......looks like they'll be settled in by September. Smyrna to be exact.

[TuffGirl]

Change is good!

Agreed!

GM,You can Throw Stones in here all you want! ( I'll throw 'em back!) ;)

Nice new place you have here!

I am off to work now.

[omnisjdi]

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

DAMN GENIUS! :D

I've been told in a couple of different places that its been showing, but damn I hate to have so much. I'll admit it is a nice bit of change. Just don't want to have to make a habit of it (too much thinking that is).

[phikappa]

In an alternate universe, I'm doing something X rated. But hey, I'm a guy!

I have gotten accustomed to some System of a Down too

[belikewater]

This all brings back a very fond memory of mine. About 10 years ago I worked out at Gold's Gym here. There were these 2 regulars at the gym. I called them the BLTs. You'll understand here in a few. Anyways these guys were, shall we say into one another, and appeared to be a very happy couple. Oh and I will clarify guys means males here. No offense intended there though. I must be sensitive. Well they would come to the gym similarly attired. Tight spandex shorts, tube socks, form fitting spaghetti-strapped tank tops and color-matched doo-rags. Apparently it wasn't love at first sight because obviously their sight was lacking due to the thick glasses both wore. Maybe it was an animal lust due to their physiques - well cultivated beer bellies, sunken chest, fairly well toned arms though and long stork-like legs topped by absolutely no ass at all. In fact they probably wore the spandex out of necessity because there was nothing there to prop a conventional short up. Now as for the acronym BLTs, well, it stood for the Butt Less Twins.

[SP1966]

Back in the early 90's I used to work out at a Bally's in Huntington Beach CA, one of the two story neon whore houses! There was one "guy" who would always be working out in a pink spandex body suite with baby blue accessories i.e. thong!! :eek:








I have known Lou a long time now! :D

And the ever popular Mandy:
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
you made me so happy, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
the pain is calling, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

I'll be rockin tonight!!

The part where Lou comes in can not be confirmed fact, but I do have my suspicions! :D

[KimberleyRN]

Torture... Chris told me that he recharged my mP3 player... umm, NOPE!

Dead!

So, I had to work out listening to the top 40's crap that the gym plays. I wanted to push ice picks into my tympanic membranes!

My old man worked for him for a bit, built the sets for the first travel run of Copa. Said he was actually pretty cool. I'm almost ashamed to say that.

[Capt_Lou]

So I have been running a file server on my network, a couple weeks ago I had a hard rive crash, so since I had a extra P4 2.8 gig machine laying around I decided to totally rebuild the thing.

Now since my move I go to power it up and nada nothing!. I reseated everything and still nothing. I am not in a great mood!

I am actually at the same weight as the last one but BF is dropping a bit.

Thats great you are maintaining weight but dropping BF.....I think I'm to the point where I need to stop dropping pounds soon but would like to still lose some fat. Thinking about upping my calories a bit and seeing how things work.

[Capt_Lou]

I think I have finally hit my sweet spot.

I am averaging 200-300 above my Basal and taking in 350g of protein a da but keeping carbs around 150 or so. Only doing cardio about 3 times a week so that is nice.

That is a hard transition to make isn't it. I know that when I got down under 200 for the first time in many years the idea of gaining was not easy to accept. I am starting to realize that I need to put on weight, I look like a freaking twigg anymore.

How are you getting to 350 grams of protein?

I'm not even gettin in my cardio so far this week. This week is just so crazy..but I am getting to the gym so far. I will get some cardio in the AM tomorrow and thursday am for sure...and hopefully friday while we are on vacation. So I still may get in 3 days.

Anyway. I'm not 100% sure of my BMR. I am trying a carb cycling that Carl helped me with and plan to stick that out for no less than 4 weeks...but then if I'm not happy with what I'm doing...I will start bumping my calories about 200 cals at a time. Hold for a week an then re-evaluate.

Thing is my lifts are still improving so I can't say things are not working.....

[Capt_Lou]

How are you getting to 350 grams of protein?

Chicken, fish, cottage cheese, eggs, I only take 1 protein drink in the AM as soon as I wake up and 1 right after I work out.

[rpaul11]

How are you getting to 350 grams of protein?

no kiddin LOL

I get 250 a day roughly.....and that is a lot of meat and eggs

It's funny, this is the hardest part for me. Going to the gym consistently, no problem. Making myself eat so damn often, turn my stomache! Sucks, but I am working on it.

[Capt_Lou]

I think it was 3lbs of 6.00 or 5 lbs for 7.50 I buy 25lbs at a time.

[rpaul11]

If it's 5 for 7.50 I would be interested. 3 for 6 is what I pay now on sale at our grocery store for the frozen bags.

Then that is a deal for you...I pre-make a bag every 2 days or so, plus I get 6 lbs of talpia and make that just for a change of pace.

3 lbs in 2 days...dang...that's a lot of meat LOL

I buy that talapia also...forget what I pay.....but the individually wrapped and frozen fillets. I eat 8 oz of them for a meal now.

Cosco here is over 2 bucks a pound...so it's not worth the drive for me for chicken.

Do you really think you need 300+ grams of protein a day? I have been shooting for 200 and having to gag to get it down.

For me I would say yes...it is working all of my lifts consistently go up and I really don't want to mess with it. so I stay with the 1.5g per pound rule.

Most of them are kinda corny......I do a full rotation exercise that has helped me SOOOO much it's not even funny.

Lemme see what I can find you.

[PLANETGETLOW]

describe rotations?

Start with this exercise as a warm-up before you even lift the bar or any weights. If you can do this daily or every other day you will be making great progress.

It works all three heads and is a GREAT rotation for ROM!

I don't do the recommeded rotations by my therapist but he did say to do these.

If you prefer to see ALL of the exercises and pick one you might like, watch this entire clip. It's REALLY good.

Aside of that, do that first one I posted and try to do about 40 or 50 reps continuously. You'll feel a good burn ;)


In regards to my other exercises, I do reverse flyes, side laterals, and front raises that I've incorporated into my chest/arm/delt nights

What's your thoughts on the Smyrna area.......seriously

[belikewater]

Got mildly irritated and amused at the gym last night. Now I know this might not seem a great feat to you hulking goliaths but remember I was a high rep man focusing on muscular endurance for my MMA training. Anyways I finally did 225lbs on my bench press for 3 strict reps. Strict meaning I touched my chest, despite my long arms, I didn't trampoline it and I didn't have a spotter performing upright rows with the bar. My bench has gone up almost 40lbs in 2 months so I was pretty proud of myself.
After I finished my last set some college age dudes come along and tell me I can just leave the weight on the bar. They get down and start repping my 225lbs except there seems to be an invisible 6 inch obstruction on their chest that stops the bar. Well that was just their warmup because they added 25s on either side and knocked out some more reps. Again with that imaginary 6 inch obstruction except this time it seemed it turned into a 8 inch obstruction.
I just don't know how to keep up with these pillars of strength anymore. I think next time I'll just ask them for some pointers.

Nevertheless, I've already been the rep king for years and greatly benefitted from it in numerous ways. My tendons and ligaments will probably be better prepared to withstand the heavier poundages I've grown to love. Definition I've had in abundance and still have to some degree although that is not my focus at thist time. Ego is immaterial. I lift big to get big and eat big to get big. I'm just as comfortable lifting alone as lifting in a gym. I'm probably the worst dressed gym patron there. I look like I probably sleep in my gym gear.

ROM especially on BB bench can vary greatly and even the smallest of range has a benefit... Just depends on whether the lifter actually knows that or is just trying to fulfill and ego trip.

I agree. But thats their normal routine actually. I believe in partial ROM to correct sticking points and to compensate for lack of leverage. Its a tool that should be used judicially. Although I do feel it is more conducive to powerlifting application.

Most of those guys in there probably have less knowledge than you about the fighters and organizations. And I'd venture to say probably a good portion have never actually trained in it either or even 'rolled' with someone. I can call them to task real quick because its easy for me to spot those who watch it and think they can do it as opposed to those who have sweated and bled doing it.

Let them play

Dedicate her favourite song
And hold her closer all night long
Love her today
Find one hundred ways

Dont forget, there could be
An old lover in her memory
If you need her so much more
Why don't you say?
Maybe she has it in her mind
That she's just wasting her time
Ask her to stay
Find one hundred ways

Being cool won't help you keep a love warm
You'll just blow your only chance
Take the time to open up your heart
That's the secret of romance

Sacrifice if you care
Buy her some moonlight to wear
If it's one more star she wants
Go all the way
In your arms tonight, she'll reflect
That she owes you the sweetest of debts
If she wants to pay
Find one hundred ways

Love her today
Find one hundred ways


Definitely words to live by I'd say!

Cool that's the kind of thing I need! See I was raised in the US but by a very Scottish family. We are genetically programmed to be practical above all else. Someone suggested that you should buy things that have no practical use. That would cause me seizures. I grew up learning something was only worth while if it had two or more practical uses, let alone none. My Grandparents thought romance was an English conspiracy to get Scots to spend their money on fluff.

Reminds me of an old James Ingram hit, 'One Hundred Ways.'

Compliment what she does
Send her roses just because
If it's violins she loves
Let them play

Dedicate her favourite song
And hold her closer all night long
Love her today
Find one hundred ways

Not to rain on your parade, but your post reminds me of this song...

"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover

She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Ooo slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways

She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
and get yourself free

Slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy

Here is an idea, if you both have cell phones you can send her cute little text messages! I did that with my wife until a realized she had no clue how to read them. D'oh!

I was reading Dan's thread about Meditiation... made me think.
I didn't want to hijack, but... Wondered what you guys think?
I've never Meditated... I'm the first to admit that I've got issues that would possibly benefit from meditation. Shrinks have suggested it to me...

I don't mind sharing this with you folks, as if you've read my blogs you'd know it anyway: I've got a bit of OCD and some depression issues - have had for a while.

BUT, when I think of meditating and clearing my mind, I want to be NOT THINKING and SLEEP. I figure what's the point of meditation? I find I am most at peace and feel best if I just let it all go away with SLEEP. Anyone else feel that way?

I have never understood meditation. Not saying it doesn't have benefits, but I just file it along with many new age type of things.

My husband went through some Buddist-Zen-Like training long before he met me to "learn how to meditate", and was given a "special" Mantra (just for him). The way he described the whole thing was CRAZY :eek:

I just don't get it. I'm not knocking what others believe, I just don't understand. Hey, I believed in Santa Claus until last Christmas. :D

The concern I would have (if I would have been working with you) is that since excessive sleep is often a negative symptom of mood problems it might not be the best thing to suggest to a client to do a lot more of. That said, it would really depend on the individual. Been a long time since I've done much therapist work though.

I could not agree with you more, the entire concept is way over my head I guess. Oh, and thanks for the inside info on Santa, damn I really feel stupid now! :D

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. <-- this is my understanding of Zen!

I agree. I was cautioned about my sleeping habits, more than once. Not a good sign for a person with Depression. Thankfully, I am much better now. The depression issues are under control with therapy and some meds. OCD has been an issue since childhood. Goes in patterns,,, brought on with STRESS. I'm a counter. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,....

Wheres GM? I need his professional advice. All this talk of depression has got me, well, rather depressed now.

Nah, was talking cycling with babiegirl.

babiegirl? oh no...the same babiegirl who came out with the post about whether she should get fake tits or not? and can she train in such a way to be better able to kick a man's ass babiegirl? have fun. she loves the attention.

[harleygirl]

I thinks sleep can be good for you unless you are using it to hide from what you are really feeling. I have just the opposite. Usually if I am trying to hide from something I can't sleep until I've figured it out. I don't really know if what I do is meditation in the true since of the word but I do know that when I take the time to "listen" to myself I can usually deal with an issue much better than if I try to pretend it's not there. I made myself sit down over the long weekend I just had and do that very thing. I know my "insides" are much calmer now.

That's why I've concluded that it's a "to each his own" kind of thing. I know for some folks it works... :)
