There's a ham in the power rack! Hobbes' Journal.

[thehobbes]

Nice Skwatin! Maybe Swooshie can bring you over some soup? Have a good rest of the weekend? I'm probably going to watch the UFC tonight.

Yeah chicken leg soup with a side of choc cheesecake please!

That's what I'm watching right now. Can't afford the actual event, but at least I got the prelims. haha.

Good session hobbes, considering how crappy you feel. Hope the congestion clears up so you can at least breathe.

Have never felt worse squatting, wt felt so easy was just trying not to puke/pass out lulz. At least I have a home gym, I figure if I was gonna puke then just aim for dat laundry sink, then continue sets lol.

Aww, we have to wait until tomorrow to watch the fights

Nice workout despite the sickness, Hammie! You should go pick up some Cold FX! That sh*t is awesome for curing colds!

Gonna Google that.

That's what I do best.



Solid work.

I hope you wake up as sore tomorrow as I did today.

Pretty sore yes, I love that feel, I really do!

Bwahahahahaha... dat bb.com shirt... at least you found a legit use for it. Great squatin' session there... especially given all that respiratory funk!! I hope you get to feeling better soon. Be back later to see how that benching session goes.

Lol that shirt is so weirdly proportioned. I got a Large yet the sleeves are sooo short, makes me look pretty jacked, it's that SoftStyle cotton too, very easy on the nose.

Sick Hammie still squats at epic proportions. On the snotty nose, have you tried a neti pot? Really help with the snot.
Hope you feel better. In for the bench session.

That's where I pour the Lipton up my nose? I'm unsure how you do that and don't drown in tea? Someone aware me, I have a teapot and instant rasp Lipton right here srs.


Chest Day today! Just having some foodz and getting some stuff done for work. Gotta stop taking this Nyquil to sleep cause I can't wake up! I have a bunch of tiny holes on my rear delt from the cat smacking me trying to wake me up for food. (They have food out 24/7 but get a special canned tuna cat food breakfast, ah first world cat problems.) May just take some melatonin tonight. The Nyquil is giving me more disturbing dreams than I ever got from melatonin. Hitting like 95% sleep efficiency with either method though.



Photobucket gonna photobucket, fixed rotation 5x, oh well.

[swooshie]

Here ya go, Hammie. BRB with Cheesecake

[thehobbes]

^^^Why's there a tree in my soup?

[beatha]

Happy Sunday Hammie
Solid workout esp with breathing issues.
Wow jelly of that sleep efficiency. May try taking some melatonin tonight see if I can't get hit coma sleep.

[jjeane]

A neti pot looks like a small tee pt. You can use a salt solution or iodine in it. You tilt your head forward and to the side and pour the liquid thru one nostril and it comes out the other one. It sucks but it works. Love making my kids do it. They complain and make all kinds of fuss. Kinda fun.

Thanks Bea, just gotta throw on another 100lbs on my squat so I can go Beastly Beatha status! Yeah that stuff works great.

Nothing too noteworthy, still sick but didn't feel as bad as yesterday. Bench session was not up to standards IMO, not sure if it was sucky because I've been sick for a couple weeks or because I'm on a cut. Lost a pound this week but I really care way more about lifts lol, sooo tempted to do a bulk. I'll have to see how things go when I'm feeling 100% again. Not lifting tomorrow, have a whole list of boring stuff I need to take care of, plan on going to LTF Tuesday for a leg iso day and maybe some bonus pullups ooooo ahhhhhh.

[Redfizz]

Awww, I would accept your hug, and give you an atomic wedgie while said hug was in progress.

*Shakes head*

Glad to hear you're feeling a tad better. There was a whole episode of South Park about the guys tripping on Nyquil to get inspiration for bogus news stories. It was pretty darn funny.

Hahaha! Love that episode

Dayquil is awesome. I used to take metabolife when I had the flu, it works wonders... 165 on those rows?? Gurrrlllllll........

BULK IT OUT!!!

[stephanielynn76]

Puh-lease... I'd take one of your "nothing too noteworthy" sessions any day of the week Hammie!!! Seriously, you row more than I squat!

[cmg1976]

Hmm. Your not noteworthy is my wildest fantasy. I like to peek in here for the inspiration even though you could bench me on a bad day, lol.

BAHHHHAHAHAHA!!! Thanks guise, yeah the rows weren't bad, I guess I was just kinda meh cause I didn't get a rep PR on bench (oh woe is me, the problems of Ham. ) Wasn't in a good mood yesterday anyways, Sunday nights are meh and I had to do some difficult, semi-boring things today lol. Had a list of like 15 work related weird things I had to do AFTER work. For me work is like 24/7. BRB up until 11pm writing stuff, brb getting texts at 3am, brb phone calls at 5:30 when I'm at the dentist and said hey don't call me between 5 and 6 I'm at the dentist. Le sigh.

So anyways, had to write this huge thing for work (kinda reminded me of papers in college lol) was not looking forward to doing it honestly, but sat here for SIX HOURS STRAIGHT, and BOOM! Came out great IMO, I hope it is well liked! Ended up being 11 pages long I think.

Ordered Chinese while I was doing that so does anybody know how to figure out macros for a pint of sweet n sour chicken, pint of broccoli n chicken, and a quart of white rice??? No idea on macros, slammed a protein shake, some bars, fruit, Easy Mac, and getting in whatever I can before I fall asleep when the Nyquil kicks in.

Want to go to the gym tomorrow, will depend if I feel like that or taking a nap more tomorrow. :/ Got my stuff ready to go anyways.

[newbeginning828]

BOOM - PRs everywhere! This is the first day in about 3 weeks where I've felt significantly better srs. Still coughing and congested but less than the last few days. Was able to do things with a lot of effort and not nearly pass out due to a coughing rampage. Workout took over 2 hrs due to 10+ work related calls and texts srs. Now before all you anti cell phone people in the gym get all weird on me let me say I have the sound completely OFF on my phone, and when I call/text people back I actually step out of the gym into a hallway/common area so as to not bother anybody in the gym. And no I do not have the luxary of turning off my phone for an hour and a half while I workout. If I don't get back to some of these calls asap I will end up with people completely stuck until they hear from me, vehicles broken down, or pissed off customers srs. I am on call 24/7 and yes, yes I do get people calling me at 3am waking me up, or texting me on a Sat at midnight to ask me the dumbest question in the history of the universe that could have easily waited until Monday, and people that decide they need to call me 3x in 5min because I didn't answer the first time since I am trying to take a dump in peace. Yes it is like having a mentally challenged five year old child with me 24/7. So if you see me in the gym with my iphone balanced on my shaker bottle keeping an eye out for missed calls, do not judge and automatically give me the stare of death, rather, raise your bro fist in the air in support and yell HAM ON!

This workout was truly awesome.

[vanessa40]

I am happy to hear you are feeling better. DayQuil rules. Your workouts always impress me even when you are sick..

GODDAM! :bro fist:

[Echo814]

Awe Hammie! I'm sorry you still feel sick! Glad that you are feeling better though, these flu/colds from hell are taking forever for people to get over.

Awesome job on getting the workouts in even though you probably feel like death. At least you have cell phone etiquette unlike most fukwads that insist on sitting on a machine texting/talking on the phone. Kitty bro fist bump!



I am totally jelly of your sleep Ham, I would love to sleep more than an hour at a time Might need to pawn the little one off when he's old enough and spend a weekend sleeping

[jjeane]

I am blind from all the red! I do not even know where to start Hammie! 13 pullups! I just, well, YOU ROCK! fistpump
Then there is the leg press and curls. Glad you are feeling better, it shows.
Understand about the phone. Hubs is connected to his 24/7. This is what happens when you own a company.

[gobbles23]

Wow, insane workout Hammie! All those PR's! Don't you just LOVE workouts like that!?

[aybee77]

You're super strong! I wanna be like you when I grow up. Congrats on the pullups.

[mmater]

Congrats on the Pullup PR, still jelly you can do them. As for the cell phone thing, I would absolutely bertstare you....That is until you did the right thing and took it "outside" to answer it. Then, I would actually give a small headnod of approval. lol. I actually have a new gym shirt from ironville clothing that reads "Shut your damn phone off and lift!" Probably my biggest gym pet peeve. But you still get a fist bump because you do the right thing and go somewhere else to take the call. Sucks that your work dictates some of your training sessions though. Srs, I wish I had a wet towel so I could pop some of these freaking people on their cell phones while pretending to be on the elliptical or whatnot. Grrrr.

[vanessa40]

Hope you are feeling great today

[dreahere]

You are my pull up hero.

That is all.

Feeling decent today for once, I think it's somewhat going away, hope I can do without the Nyquil by this weekend. LOL at fistbump cat bumping my fist. You need a nap of epic proportions.

Yeahhhh, well I only weigh 160.2 so hellz yeah I should be banging out these pullups, easier than when I was 180. By my calculations if I hit 155lbs I will be able to do 137 pullups. lulz

Wow, insane workout Hammie! All those PR's! Don't you just LOVE workouts like that!?

Yes, yes I do. It makes me want to sprint through the locker room flexing at random people yelling Do you even pullups?!

You're super strong! I wanna be like you when I grow up. Congrats on the pullups.

Haha, a 160lbs of ham is going up easier and easier. Must be my 5 eggs/day plan. I have my own strength plus I resorb the strength of 5 baby chickens every day, resulting in of course: Super Ham. Ham biology, not even once.
