we have been to about 175 concerts .

The thinking is if I have a hot wife that guys are droolin over, it'll keep me active! I guess it's also like wishing for three or four attractive daughters, you know, motivation to keep your fitness levels up to fend off suitors!

HI folks ,

No workouts since last thurs.
My anniversary came and went . Worked 7am - 4pm or so this week and had tuesday off. We 3 went out for breakfast and did some basic shopping like any one esle . Came home and did lots of yard work to get ready for the 4th of july next friday and some "" props "" for an upcoming VIDEO .

My skin condition comes and goes . My face is ok . My forearms come and go almost over night . I carry to much water and sodium in my body after almost 20 yrs of abusing soda . But my weight is coming back down . I hover at 268- 271 lbs since monday.


hard getting up at 530 am after 8 yrs working from 130pm- midnight . and 14 yrs of 11pm- 7-9 am for 14 yrs . frozen foods is now my dept.
not a hard job. just VERY time consuming. and not meant for 1st shift .
mostly 3rd shift . I did frozen 3rd shift for about 4 yrs on and off .

Have not eaten much this week and NOOOOOOO im not starving my self or anything. body clock is just messed up. NOOOOOOOOOOOO
problem going to sleep from 9-10 pm but waking up every 2 hrs or so .

Found a few new energy drinks this week , to wake me up . And getting use to driving 20 miles a hr a time .

No weights this week . its 515 pm and looks like it gonna pour rain any minute . LOTSSSSSSS of cardio .
worked my right shoulder and hamstrings as much as i could .

Planning on doing chest / triceps in a few mins .

working 530am - 2 pm or so friday.

peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Peace big guy.

Those hours suck.

Looking forward to you posting some great workouts when that is all sorted.

Strength to you, Brutus, and a pile of rotten spinach to your nemesis, Popeye. If my forearms keep growing, I might start to look like that miscreant, but don't worry, I won't change sides!

B B BBBBB..BBbrrbrbrbbb.. BRUTUS!!

[BRUTUSPLAC]

Hello folks
sorry i have not said much let alone posted on any 1's pages .
or replied to emails . Please accpet my apoligises.

work sucks , lots of arguing every day when i'm not there and some more when i am there.

1 part timer quit / ready to be fired fo rno show no call ,
another out the door very soon . left 2 hours early , just up and left .

starting friday ( today) after i watch and take pics / video of my towns huge 4th of july 5k road race , and other events , cook out ( if no rain )
and a mardi gras parade down next to the beach.


I am going back ot VERY old school of training . I am a very hardcore believer in recovery, roatating training styles ( cycles ) and lots of training methods . I dont believe all the muscles recover in ther same amount of days and when to pritorise (sp?) to tired at 1230 am to write


I will be posting again and posting daily videos in a few days . im bending over backwards at work to get certain hours on certian days to make the job more productive but the store manager is clueless ( i worked for him before 10-14 yrs ago , when i was 3rd shift FROZEN / DAIRY )

I would love to be the fly on the wall sat morning when he finds out what happened last night .


my plans are still to get under 250 by mid august and i was 266.8 lbs when i woke up thurs am ..


I hiope everyone has a FANTASTIC weekend . No arguing with anyone ok ??? leave that up tp me ...


EAT DRINK and be meery PEACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
