so anyone do freakin anything in the last 2 days or just my sorry ass???
Monday night I went all out at the gym. Running, hill climbing (treadmill of course) legs, arms, abs, the works! It felt great! I will be returning tonight!"The leads are weak!"

2 miles and 1.9 miles of the run were utter TORTURE! Ohmygawd! I ate my 2 grapefruit before the run, but I was dragging. Yikes! Definitely need to eat a biscotti or a brownie before hand. Arrrrgh! Well, at least I went, and I'm done for the dayThere is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous

eh that happens sometimes ms. haiku. you have good days to run and bad days. I've run 12 miles one day and then a week later totally crapped out at 4. A biscotti is a good thing to eat before running. A brownie is probably not so much (contains too much oils and fat). the best thing to eat before running is simple carbohydrates, so a few plain crackers or unsalted pretzels. For 2 miles you don't need much sugar. In fact I never eat sugar before a training run no matter how long it is. If you get into racing you'll find people sucking on gummy bears and whatnot (and those goo things are basically just sugar). You should be careful though and not have too much sugar, you just need a little tiny bit (like my friend eats about 5 gummy bears over the course of a marathon).0 -
that's right. today's post...
RAN 2 MILES!!!
bike 10 min
there was this dude who kept flying by me on the indoor track and the back of his shirt said "If it ain't Scottish, it's crap!" Made me think of Dunk and pissed my chubby irish ass off (odd, because i'm part Scot too!). Anyway, thanks dunk...haven't run that far in a long time.I love to turn you on0 -

That's a lot of chest & triceps. DO you split your routine between days? How often do you go?
Related - I created a playlist called "Workout" so that I can play that and not hear any slow or weak tunes. Well, today during my workout, I had "Workout" on random and I heard these gems:
It's My Life - Kiss
Holy Wars - Megadeth
Breadfan - MetallicA
Welcome to the Jungle (note - the transition from Breadfan to Jungle was awesome - there's that little "Mommy....where's fluffy?" right after Breadfan ends (I think it's actually part of that song "The Prince") and then the opening riff to Jungle ripped)
Who Wants To Be Lonely? - Kiss
Inside Out - Anthrax
I Was Wrong - Social Distortion
You Can't Bring Me Down - Suicidal TendenciesDo you remember Rock & Roll Radio?0 -
hey y'all I have a question. I've never really bench pressed in my work outs before, is there anything I need to know before I start doing some? I know I've done them with trainers in the past but I can't remember. I mean I'll start with the bar and stuff I was just wondering if there was anything in particular I needed to think of in terms of form and whatnot.0

I'd talk to someone knowledgable at your gym so that they can demonstrate, but I was taught:
1) You come down to about the width of a fist from your chest; don't bounce the bar off your chest like you see so many do.
2) Don't lock your elbows when you're fully extended
3) Keep your back in "neutral spine"; that is, don't arch your back. If you're arching you're spent or you are lifting too much weight.Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?0 -

It does? Well okay. I see tons of dudes bouncing the bar off of their chest, locking their elbows, and arching their back. Even fewer know what "neutral spine" is, so good on ya.Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?0 -

come down under control, symmetrical...exhale as you press up...if you do touch your chest with the bar, come down about 2-3 inches above, well, the center of your chest is (not sure how else to put that here!)

oh I didn't mean that to come out like...I dunno, in any negative way.
well I mean I have a lot of experience working out in the general, so these points all make sense to me...pretty much stuff to keep in mind for any exercise really.0
