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

[DieselsMom]

Thanks JJ, feels good to have serious upper body DOMS today lol. Yeah I'v actually had to continue doing the whole "nom nom nom, this is soooo awesome!" for the cat. He will actually come back over and eat his food when I do that srs, otherwise he'll walk away in disgust. I got the food ratios up to like 75% of the new prescription food and 25% tuna flavored stuff, the transformation is almost complete!

This is why I have dogs - they eat anything! Brocolli included if it has been dropped off your plate and they think it is a sneaky grab LOL

That is so true Muffin would eat lettuce...lol
You are are good mom for doing that

[jjeane]

I have no idea about your toe nails. Sounds very weird. Have you thought about steel toe shoes? Cause heavy shiz on feet hurts!

[pharty]

What'd I miss? I swear I don't long on for a day or 2...a day or 2 in bbing.comland is like a month!

[EB68]

Nice work on those pull-ups, and some strong benching too. I hope you are enjoying all those calories, makes me sad thinking about eating 2200 per day for the rest of the spring. I am hungry now and I just freaking ate!!!!

[dreahere]

Hammie, I think the "hard stuff" growing back probably is toenail, just jacked up toenail. Some people on the distance runner forums say when they lost toenails they never grew back right and always looked deformed. See, for example: http://forums.runnersworld.com/forum...back-different

Lol! Amazingly my little guy will try to run off with weird stuff like brocolli and cantaloupe, but try feeding him chicken, beef, salmon, turkey, or duck flavored cat food and he is all like NO.

I do wear steel toes now for that reason (except in summer, feet sweat too much and get other issues in boots in 90 degree weather), these are previous injuries.

Thank you! Yes it is nice to be able to lose weight while I still go and get a pizza here and there lol. 2200, I burn that before noon!

O... M... G!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE!!! And at least one of these is from college when I was running A TON. Yep they'd turn black and fall off, then this weird ass stuff grows in there. Well ok then, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I still trim em and everything (with very sharp scissors lol) but they are indeed jacked up. Looks like it'd hurt but it does not.

You're such a girl! I don't use my feet for beauty (clearly), I use em to kick people in the face! (Also to stomp spiders.)

Thanks JJ! I love how he's facing my power rack in anticipation, before each set I give him the bro nod, and he nods back with an encouraging "HAM ON!" srs

ok not srs






semi srs, I need to lay off the melatonin


No lifting today, was at work 13ish hours, just gonna fill up on mah foods and get to bed on time. Expected today wasn't going to be great. I'm hoping tomorrow night I can squeeze in a Shoulder Day, I want to do a vid for the MISC squat comp.

[rickiecoombs]

Awesome squats! Jelly! I guess that goes without saying, since I want to be Aunt Ham IRL.

Had the most awesome melatonin dream last night srs. Was riding my motorcycle (I do not have IRL though) and smashed into some trees. Ok that part hurt lol, but then was in this ham hospital with a bunch of other hams who had motorcycle accidents. It was kinda cool cause the food wasn't bad, I didn't have to go to work, and I made friends with the other hams. Yes like a hospital full of a bunch of muscle flexing cartoon hams, I was one and so was everybody else, felt so right. .

I just about died laughing. I read this to hubz, and he giggled (yes, giggled) quietly on the couch. I don't think he wanted to give in and admit it was friggin' hilarious.

What'd I miss? I swear I don't long on for a day or 2...a day or 2 in bbing.comland is like a month!

Oh my goodness, YES!

Y'know what, Mammie? As soon as you mentioned your toenails, my very first thought was, "Oh man, I hope she posts pics!!". Does that make me a sick, sick individual? Probably, since I've posted some lovely chopped-up-thumb pics myself...

It makes me so sad that work is being ridiculous. A job should be a JOB, not your LIFE. That's how I feel, anyway. I get that you gotta do what you gotta do, and the great news is that you're still so young, so you'll have lots of time to slack off in thirty years or so. Hehe.

It's almost the weekend!! Hang in there! Hopefully it will be blissfully uninterrupted! (Yeah, I get that that's probably a little unrealistic. But a gal can dream, right?!)

[mmater]

You better get at least 220 on your back squat, or I will have taken another lift from you. hehe. Yes, I am that mean ;-)

1) It DOES make you a sick individual
2) Thanks for asking because I have posted pics below **WARNING - it's not pretty - view at your own risk!**

I ALREADY HAVE A 220 SQUAT!!! I will get MORE than that next max test day, just so you are aware. (You have been awared by the Awaring Ham, now take this knowledge and aware others in the world around you.)






Oh wow these toe pics are horrific! Ok, here we go, you guise better still be my buddies after I show you this bahhahahaha! My feet are extra torn up atm from being at work a lot lately. Also just shaved my freaking toes and it's already growing back, wtf! Toes seem crooked, never noticed that before, wtf is that, is this normal?!

*WARNING - TOE PICS - DO NOT VIEW WHEN EATING!*

Great squats sorry to hear the job is so all encompassing there should always be room for life.

[mmater]

Yep, most likely a fungus. You be alright.

As for the squat, I'm talking recent squat, not like 2008 squat. ;-) Amaze me!!!

[tina722]

Nice squats!! They looked pretty easy too.

[rickiecoombs]

Oh lawd, will try some foot stuff for that, really didn't think the "normal" toes were f'ed up, guess I'm wrong. You guys see what I'm talking about though, the busted one next to the big toe? Lol I have traumatized everyone.

Yep, most likely a fungus. You be alright.

Thank you MMA, MD. Doooood, not only am I gonna blast that squat PR, I am gonna dip my fungified toes in your protein shake when I get a chance.

Nice squats!! They looked pretty easy too.

Thanks Tina!

[jjeane]

Go Hammie!! 100 is HUGE!!

[mmater]

Great work on the OHP. Pretty strict to me. You could easily get more than 100, just lower your warmup volume. I have found that if I do too many warmups my shoulders fatigue super fast. So I usually will just a couple, maybe 3 at two lower weights before I start my main sets. Even then, I only do that just to get my form down and to feel some weight. Just some food for thought.

[Redfizz]

Hey Auntie Ham!

Honey tried the DB hooks for the first time yesterday and LOVES them! He said he didn't tweak his shoulder whatsoever. We also pulled up your "Auntie Ham's lesson on how to use hooks" video last night to make sure we were doing it correctly. He laughed when you ROARED! I just said, "Yup. That's our Auntie Ham!"

[dreahere]

Good job, Hamster. Your arms are looking verah verah nice in the vids too.
