Remember that regular people see us programmers as alien creatures as it is, and it all falls into place. Not to mention that programmers are among the most sought after professions in the world...

Was the first one of my group of friends to get the same cold last Wednesday, so I had no warning that this would be coming on.

Had to throw in the towel not even halfway through my routine and I...

Excellent work all around! I still wish my bench was progressing as good as yours... :)

At my new gym, I met one of the pro powerlifters and he helped my form today. I missed the last rep of the first set...

Been sitting here almost a week going crazy not being able to go to the gym!

Stretching out my trap the last few days has helped my shoulder pain significantly, and I'm ready to hit the iron...

Box Squat

115 - 10x2

These were hurting my hips right at the top where the quad tenses up where it meets the bone. My trap was hurting, too, but I figured it...

I alternate between chin up and pull ups - one workout I'll do chin ups and the next workout I'll do pull ups. I figure I'll get benefits of both types, but I don't know how valid that kind of...

Went a bit too low on the very last rep and almost got stuck in the hole.

Thanks for your help guys...I appreciate it.

I found a private gym on that powerliftingwatch website. Talked to one of the owners down there today and he said most of the guys lifting there are...

As long as they don't try taking my power rack, I really couldn't care less what they do.

When I'm in my "workout zone", I'm not paying too much attention to other people anyway...

Thank you for the link...I'll read it sometime today.


Will do.

I did find a gym on that website, but it looked like the information on there might have been out of date. I hope it's not,...

Probably should have mentioned that I've been on Starting Strength since August. I had to do a full deload on almost all my lifts due to a hernia in late October, but I'm back up above my weights...

I'm a newbie to weightlifting in general, but I'm quickly becoming addicted to getting stronger. I'm sure my lifts are too low for competition, but I would like to work towards that if possible.

More than one woman has told me she'd take labor pains over tooth pains any day. With how bad my teeth are, I feel for you.

Good luck with the dentist and getting back on track!

Turns out I was measuring my waist wrong, but luckily the measurements of where I was taking it and where I'm supposed to be taking it is almost exactly the same. :P

Was a little difficult, but I think it was just that I...

Gotta hand it to you being able to do this. Not only do I not get the intensity in the morning that I do in the afternoon, but working out without eating would have me in the bathroom yakkin my guts...

Lol, trust me when I say that I know first-hand that they do not allow 4x4s on the power lines. That's where I used to go until NStar's lawyers put it to me in no uncertain terms that it was off...

Quite familiar with it. I've never biked up there but I still think it's sad that they tore down a some of Vietnam to build the new shops (Best Buy, Lowes, etc) up on Fortune blvd. I heard they're...

Idk, I saw in your story up there that you didn't eat for a while before going to the gym...I know a lot of people, including myself, get sick on an empty stomach when performing strenuous exercise....
