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

[dreahere]

Bet Ham never thought anyone would respond.

I'll play. The summer between high school graduation and college, my friend LL and I would go out at like midnight and just drive aimlessly around for hours, not drinking or anything, just listening to the radio, looking at guys who were also driving around, etc. Eventually we would have to pee, but Burger King would not let us use their restroom without buying any of their crappy food and we didn't want to go back to either of our houses as that would make our moms bitch about WTF we were doing. So we would find a quiet residential street where no one appeared to be awake and pick two parked cars to pee in between. This is how I first learned to pee standing up without soaking my shoes, a very valuable life skill. Thanks, LL.

Edit: oh, look! My pee story is at the top of a new page! How precious!

And all this time I thought it was the neighbors dog that kept peeing on my tires Just kidding.

[Boomer29]

So come on guys, let's hear it.

From a tree srs on an FTX in basic, it took too much work to get up there to get back down and back up again!

I'm glad you ended up gas free today!

[Boomer29]

Oh just wanna add before someone calls BS it didn't end well for me or the tree.

[newbeginning828]

Ahhh yes... parking lot pee. I think we've all had to do that at least once in our lives.
The worst for me though, I was about 10 and trail riding with my cousin and decided I had to stop and go. So I stroll into the woods and find myself staring at an anthill. NB hates ants, so 10 yr old NB mind thought it'd be hilarious Needless to say I ended up with piss on my legs and ant bites hatesants.jpg

[danibel]

I pee in the ocean basically every weekend, but who doesn't tbh

[squeaks77]

Weirdest place I ever peed...

2 summers ago we were coming home from Disneyland. I had to pee so f'ing bad and the first off ramp had nowhere to go. I endure the 10 minute ride to the next off ramp and I run into a liquor store and they say they don't have one, so I go to the laundromat next door. I go in there and it's coin operated and out of order. I had to go so bad at this point that I ran out the back door, into the alley and peed behind the dumpster. notmyproudestmoment.jpg

[swooshie]

Will inspect plates for a flat side???

Oh, thank god I'm not the only one who was like huh??? The sides are different?? Must inspect, because I really can't wait to add something else to my list of OCD quirks

Bet Ham never thought anyone would respond.

I can't really think of any weird place I ever peed, but when I was about 5, I wanted to be able to pee like a boy...standing up, cause I thought it would save time or something. My mom had just cleaned the bathroom floor, on hands and knees, and had worked her way out into the hallway. I walked into the bathroom, didn't shut the door or anything, and right there, in front of her, dropped my pants and proceeded to pee all over her freshly cleaned floor, missing the toilet completely..... didn't happen to think that girls can't exactly aim like guys can. Guess who was handed the bucket and mop......didn't save me one bit of time after all

[gobbles23]

Pee talk, hey? Who's journal am I in again?? I peed in the woods yesterday!

Oh wait! Strangest place- "in" a ditch along the side of a highway. I tried getting in it but there was water so I just sort of peed on the slope, halfway down but still slightly exposed. It was dark though! lol! And I reallllly had to go!

[pharty]

Honestly I can only remember peeing outside once when I was maybe 10. Weird, right?

[bethanyboo]

I peed outside a bar in the parking lot, but who hasn't?! lmao. I would have just waited to go home, but I had to wait around forever for a friend to drive another friend's drunk ass home (he had planned on driving. idiot!)

[nvrstopworking]

You girls are gross... I have NEVER in my life peed outside of a bathroom!











ok.... maybe just a couple of times.







ok... too many to count really.




My "favourite" pee memory was about 7 or 8 years ago when I was in Paris for New Year's with a buddy. We were at the base of the Eiffel Tower and had been drinking all day and once it hit midnight and we celebrated we BOTH realized that we had to pee worse than any time before in our lives.... wonderful.... try finding a place to piss when there are about 50,000 people around you. We ended up finding a bridge that we could "hide under" and relieve ourselves. It was hilarious because there were dozens of guys there lettin' 'er rip at the same time. All class I tell ya!

EDIT: da feel when you have to pee so bad that your kidneys start to hurt.... I had it. hahaha

[Redfizz]

(Sorry to interrupt the awesome pee stories. Just give me one moment.)

Hey, Hobbes! It turns out that your Hamtoon has its own ketchup bottle! It has Ham arms, too.



And now back to your regular program.

I peed on an island outside of Myrtle beach once. Though I had to cut it short since a crustacean of some sort was running after me. I ran away. So many jokes at my expense were told that day.

[lexagon]

Funniest witnessed pee story -

For those of you that live on this coast and know what the Grapevine is know that it gets shut down ALL the time due to snow in the winter. So coming home from a bday get together in the LA area and boom hit the Grapevine and it's closed ... or we are moving so slowly we might as well walk. At one point we had been stopped for a good hr or so. You see this 19-20 yr old guy bookin it for the side of the road (it's dark and snowing). He stops 5ft from the last car and just lets it go. We died laughing .. didn't look for cover or anything just right out there in the open. Too funny. He might as well have just peed next to his car seriously.

[geek23ka]

on the spread for reps for redfizz. damn it. i love that video!

[thehobbes]

LOL look at all the pee story replies!

i have pee'd freely in many places. parking lots, on snow, in lakes and oceans, in the swimming pool when i was a kid, on a wall once (just to see if i could LOL), in the woods, by the side of the highway.

i am shameless. or was. i am a bit more selective now that i'm an old lady.

Lol, marking your territory!

Ohh those are the worst, out on the road in an unfamiliar place. Those freeway exit attraction signs have saved me a few times - pointing out McD's and whatnot.

I can't really think of any weird place I ever peed, but when I was about 5, I wanted to be able to pee like a boy...standing up, cause I thought it would save time or something.

Haha, yep I always figure the freeway is an ok place to do that (not that it's a regular thing, just more of a mental note.) I think if you have a 4 door car, open the passenger doors, and kinda make a little fort you could squat against the car and no one would ever notice since people are driving by fast. Would fear cops though, not sure if they would actually do anything if you were in a desperate moment and at least tried to hide a little.

Honestly I can only remember peeing outside once when I was maybe 10. Weird, right?

P I swear you are not human, never even locked yourself out of the house or something?!

I peed outside a bar in the parking lot, but who hasn't?! lmao. I would have just waited to go home, but I had to wait around forever for a friend to drive another friend's drunk ass home (he had planned on driving. idiot!)

LOL yeah that's pretty typical even if people won't admit it.

Pfft, you got it easy(er), just carry around a Gatorade jug and you don't even have to stop the car. But yeah that would be trouble in a huge crowd like that, lol at everyone migrating to the bridge.

(Sorry to interrupt the awesome pee stories. Just give me one moment.)

Hey, Hobbes! It turns out that your Hamtoon has its own ketchup bottle! It has Ham arms, too.

Holy Ham - THAT'S AWESOME!! Lolol where do I get one of those, would save me sooo much time applying sauces to my sammiches haha. OMG it does have the Ham arm.

I peed on an island outside of Myrtle beach once. Though I had to cut it short since a crustacean of some sort was running after me. I ran away. So many jokes at my expense were told that day.

Haha being attacked by a weird creature is not cool when you're trying to do that.

Oh lol that poor guy! He was probably contemplating that move for such a long time he just jumped right in like fuk it. Traffic like that makes me pretty nervous, I'm heavy on the bathroom trips with all the foodz and waterz I take in lol.

Pro-Tip: keep one of those empty Xtend or sup containers in the car for such an emergency.


One more weird pee story from Ham: at work one of my guys was on the road and his truck was acting up so I went out there with a spare truck for him and planned to attempt to drive his truck to the shop myself if it would make it. I get up on the freeway, going really really slow, well I didn't get too far before the thing completely broke down. I had to call the tow co and didn't have anyone who could pick me up for a while. The tow people were really busy so I ended up being stuck for 2hrs+, and had to pee pretty bad. Dug through the truck for a cup or container - nothing. All I had was a shaker cup w/ some protein powder (yep carry those everywhere lulz.) So I had to pee in the shaker in the cargo area, completely concealed thank goodness. I dumped the shaker out (yes threw it away later) on the side of the road next to the rear tires cause I can't carry that around with me. So the tow man comes and is hooking up the truck, and I'm like ohhhh noooo, cause I forgot he's gotta go to the rear tires and take stuff apart. This poor dude doesn't know I dumped out that stuff in the grass right there and he's literally crawling around on his belly right there to get under the vehicle for like 5min. Haha I never said anything but felt pretty bad about that.

[nvrstopworking]

Lulz. You just reminded me of another one.... I was on my way to a wedding and had to drive about 2 hrs to get there. Forgot to go to the bathroom before I left (d'oh!) and my bladder was FULL. I end up getting stuck in a MASSIVE traffic jam and there's no chance to stop anywhere. I feel like I'm going to explode... again... kidney pains. Thankfully I have an empty 1.5L water bottle on the seat beside me. So yep, I unzip and let 'er rip. Crappy thing is.... I completely filled it and I STILL wasn't done! Had to do the painful pinch off, roll down the window, dump some of the pee outside and then continue on.

Yes srs. I actually did that. lol.

[lexagon]

Oh lol that poor guy! He was probably contemplating that move for such a long time he just jumped right in like fuk it. Traffic like that makes me pretty nervous, I'm heavy on the bathroom trips with all the foodz and waterz I take in lol.

Oh no, he trotted back to his car smiling and even waved at a few people. It was hilarious. A lot of people peed on that highway that night and it was fuarking cold! My friend had to do the open both doors thing. She was cracking me up w/ the one-liners about how cold it was.

[bethanyboo]

LMAO @ peeing in a protein shaker cup. That's how you officially know you're a meathead. lol

[hieronymous]

Where haven't I peed?

I have a weird place I had to do the other though. This is a mortifying story and very few people know this - but I don't know you guys IRL so it's cool.

I ate Indian food for lunch at work one day and I don't usually eat Indian food.

I was going through my walking phase and was walking the 10 km from work to the gym. Along the way I had to go to the bathroom - IMMEDIATELY. There were no fast food or convenience stores close by and it was the summer. I was freaking out because I didn't want to have an accident. My only option was to go in the bushes along the railway track. Did I have any toilet paper in my bag? No. But I did have my gym socks. I used them and chucked them in the bush.

I felt like a vagrant but it had to be done!

Hahaha, lucky you had a container on ya! Oh that must've been awful to almost overflow the thing and wait until you poured it out, bah!

Oh no, he trotted back to his car smiling and even waved at a few people. It was hilarious. A lot of people peed on that highway that night and it was fuarking cold! My friend had to do the open both doors thing. She was cracking me up w/ the one-liners about how cold it was.

Lulz, that is a weird horrible feeling peeing outdoors in the cold.

LMAO @ peeing in a protein shaker cup. That's how you officially know you're a meathead. lol

Well I am Ham after all.

Ohh man haha, everybody's had at least one of those I think, can't help it if you get sick like that. Actually full on sh!t my own damn pants once at home (grateful that's where I was) because I was REALLY sick with the worst flu I ever had. Practically had to crawl to the bathroom, man was I sick that day.

[thehobbes]

DL workout today. My shoulder's feeling a little better so I tried some really light incline bench - just the bar and then 75lbs lulz, but anyways I could do sets of 10 of those with little issues, felt a slight pulling on the last few reps so I decided to call it after that. I'm planning to skip pressing movements for another week and see how I'm feeling. Also since this thing is feeling decent today and I don't want to screw it up I used Versas on my DL sets of 225 and 240. Everything else I was able to do double overhand with no problem. Really didn't feel comfortable going for mixed grip and turning that hand around at a high weight, it's probably rough on the biceps tendon. So not having to focus on grip today let me go fairly heavy and bang out more reps than expected.

Pre: Con-Cret 1 scoop
Pre: Beta-Cret 2 scoops <<<ohhh yeah, 2 scoops are where it's at! Used up my last samples, awaiting Gluta mini from UFC promo
Post: Gluta-Tren (didn't drink during workout, really didn't want anything after chugging 16oz of cold water with the 2 diff flavors of Beta 5 min before lifting lol)

The workout...

BACK
Sumo DL:
wu (double overhand, no belt)
135x12
165x8
205x7

work (Versa Grips, belt)
240x4*rep PR



225x5
225x5
225x5
*was planning on doing 225 for 5x5 but this was simply too easy, so I challenged myself on doing AMRAP

225x8*rep PR



225x7

LMFAO at obnoxious lifting noises, whatever dude it's MY gym anyways, notasinglefukgiven.jpg. That Beta-Cret is pretty damn awesome. I've been extremely pissed off the last two days and this amplified the rage in a good way, plus gave me the focus to take it out on the weights. May not have gone well if I went to the other gym probably to find some dumbass trainer doing some p*ssy ass workout with TRX bands in two of our three power racks. Haha, have lost my temper with those people a few times when they pull bs like that and I need a rack to squat. Don't get me wrong, I don't care what others do at the gym UNLESS they're hogging up all the equipment for an hour when a paying member needs to get their workout in. /mini rant lol

Anyways, got a lot of tingling in my forearms, hands, and ears from the Con + Beta I guess. Great PWO though, if you didn't feel much off of 1 scoop, try 2, you'll like it.

Oh yeah and a bit of RC work...

Int. Band Rotations: 2x12

Ext. Band Rotations: 2x12

Standing Ys/Ls: 5lbs for 12, 12 (drastically dropped the weight to be careful here)

Standing Ts: (no added weight) 1x20 (this is the motion that hurts still, at least I can do it at all, but the 5lb plates were a no-go)


As for the samples of Beta-Cret I had Pineapple and Blue Ras - Pineapple was REALLY good, the Blue Ras wasn't doing as much for me but it was still alright. I put each in 8oz of water separately and chugged, lol not the best idea I've had because I felt a tiny bit sick for a min from chugging that much water, but I didn't want to mix Pineapple + Blue Ras and end up not liking it and wasting good sups

[Boomer29]

[geek23ka]

jesus f'ing christ. so many reps it made my brain dizzy from lack of comprehending. that's a BIG weight to do x8, never mind it was after x4 at 240 and then a bunch of other 225 sets!!

[Boomer29]

Lovin the vids thanks for postin em but I think you need some superman socks!

LMAO you just made my day. Thank you, not too long ago only 250 was my max, feelsgreatham.jpg to bang out 240 for reps fairly easily. Yeah sticking with Sumo, it works much better for my proportions, so much better for my lower back, conv always felt a bit awkward to me with my short arms.

Lovin the vids thanks for postin em but I think you need some superman socks!

WTF are Superman Socks? Will I be able to fly when wearing said socks? I WOULD like to fly, go up onto roofs of neighbors I don't like, eat a ham sammich, and drop the bread crusts down their chimney. Also I have some tree branches over my house that need to be cut back.
