Equipment Crew- Part III

[Wildtim]

I used to have a 30" pantwaist and about a 27-28 natural waist. No abs and I disappeared if I turned sideways but damn I was thin.

Hey guys - this has def become my fav forum on bb.com. Just for intros sake I'm Jason from CO. Anyway on to the BSing...

Anyone seenu Pain and Gain with Mark Wahlberg? The wife and I watched it today. I thought it was really funny. All the characters were portrayed as moronic meat head lifters from the mid 90s. Saw a few ivankos splattered throughout the movie. I'd give it a B

Was up puking all night with a damn stomach flu my boss brought into the office. I had a bit of sparkling apple juice today, stomach still in a knot. Anyone else catch this thing?

I know how you feel Wildtim. I keep a pair of shorts from the days my waist was smaller than my hips.

Yesterday one of my coworkers came to the home gym for me to show him how to lift. I basically put him through StrongLifts 5x5(I do the 5x5 part of ICF at lunch and then try to do the accessory work in the evening). This guy has been losing weight swimming and dieting and decided to take me up on my offer to show him how to lift. He is 6' 350lbs. He really impressed me with his lifts. I had him do box squats and he was able to do 5x5 with 65lbs with the bench set to parallel. In all lifts he listened well and had surprisingly good form. What particularly impressed me was his dedication to the lifts on the OHP. Not only did he have a hell of a grinder on one of his 4th reps, he went for the 5th with a legit try and almost got it up. I wanted to be extra careful with deadlifts and after bodyweight/bar want ups he did a set of 10 with 95lbs and we called it good. His quote from today: "it doesn't hurt if I don't move". I will run him through the other workout next Friday and then hopefully he will take advantage of his 24hr membership and do the routine on his own Mondays/Wednesdays. I plan on working with him for a few weeks to check up before setting him free(weight changes are a beast for me to be able to work out too)

Good for you for helping your friend/coworker out. I have a friend that has been training with me off and on for over a year now and he has lost 80 lbs. and is much healthier.

As far as the stomach flu goes.....my whole family had it. We all died from both ends. My daughter brought it home from preschool on a Friday, wife had it on a Monday, and I had it Tuesday. 48 straight hours of toilet and trash can love. Followed by 3 days of recovery.

Good luck

It's just that time of year, everybody's sick. Hope you guys and the families recover soon. My wife and I have had colds, which is annoying but not nearly as bad as what you guys have been dealing with. A sick baby is a whole other issue though...

Nice job helping out your coworker, hope he can keep up with the lifting. I sometimes wish I had someone to lift with, though I don't think my habit of lifting at midnight (or later) would work very well with a partner.

Any computer geeks know where I can get a new macbook topcover assembly for a good price? I have an old A1181 Macbook that isn't powering on. I removed the topcover and everything except the keyboard and power button works fine if I short the pins for the power connector. So I think I just need a new topcover assembly. The best prices that I've found are around $45 from China or $65 from the US. There are used ones on eBay but I'm weirded out by the thought of ending up with something that had been used extensively in the masterbatorium of the previous owner's house.

I'm not exactly sure what a mac "topcover" is.

However....and without much real thought....

It seems that a new one that doesn't have dried spunk on it is a bargain at $45...... even if the used one is hand delivered.












LoL.... "hand delivered".... lol, I crack myself up.

where the F did I just go?

[Keetman]

This.

Lots of this.

I've been here for 6 years and the misc is still a little like stepping into another world.

[Wildtim]

The misc is a cesspool.

O-35 misc is a grumpy bitchfest.

Teen misc is whiny children

female misc is............ ok ...................three weeks a month.

man I've been here to long.

[Stasher1]

I have to be one seriously bored mofo to venture into the Misc. I'd rather park my ass in front of the TV and watch Transporter for 89765th time.

Yah..I spent a little more and bought a new one... it's not worth the risk of getting a STD from the internet. Coincidentally that's also one of the reasons why i avoid Misc.

This is my macbook without the topcover. In order to power on, I have to short two pins (arrow) with a screwdriver.

Any thoughts on this kettlebell spotting technique?



It seems to me that it'll work okay for light weight, but what about when the weight gets heavy? It seems to me that you'd have to have a really strong spotter.

I'm considering rigging something up with a rope and belay device so that a family member can spot me when I try a TGU with 44kg or 48kg. I almost lost control of a 40kg kettlebell one time; that was kind of scary.

Below are a few photos that I took from two hikes that I did over the holiday break. The first three are from a hike of the Ballantine Trail. The final three are from a hike to Fossil Creek.

I just got back from another visit to my friend and fellow forum member TJ Lynch's place on Long Island. A few more trips there and I will be tawking like a yankee. If you get a chance to visit his gym, do so. It is like Disney World for lifters. Would like to thank TJ and his wife Amy for letting me stay at their place and for taking me to the best Tex-Mex ever Del Fuegos.

Do any of you guys skip/jump rope at all? I stumbled across a skipping rope at home and have been putting it to work lately and it's been kicking my butt. I honestly never realized or remembered how hard it is.

I haven't skipped rope in years. It might be a good thing for me to work on.

Here's a photo from Friday's hike:



I'm surprised it turned out as well as it did, shooting into the sun.

A few years back I bought a rope and then realized I didn't have enough coordination to keep it going for even a minute without screwing up. Yeah, it was a lot harder than I remembered too.

I like it. It's good for your calves and it's not as boring as most cardio types. My headphones and phone go flying out of my pocket so I need to get a holster or different system if I want to take it up again.

Agreed! I don't enjoy running or biking on the spot. I've been humming and hawwing on buying a C2 Rower lately, but I think until I save up more money and have a little more space that skipping will work for now.

Haha, I think the rope I've been using lately is too short and occasionally it's not my fault when I mess up?! That's what I'll blame it on at least. I'm hoping it improves my agility and coordination a bit as well... Guess I'll be able to tell in time playing hockey and indoor soccer maybe?

I haven't skipped rope in years. It might be a good thing for me to work on.

Yeah, give it a try KB! Let me know how it works out.
