Nice. Would love to get a rack for at the house

went for a jog this morning, not really a runner at all. did better than I thought, but not as good as I would like. did some quick ab work once I got back to the house.

sitting back, watching the equalizer, love this movie. huge denzel fan.

did another arms/abs day today. bicep curls/skull crushers/crunches/leg raises/weighted oblique twists/pike crunches. alternating bicep/triceps/abs for supersets. 7 supersets total, for 45 minutes total.

Happy birthday Aaron. Hope you have a great time.

Okay, been forgetting to post up. Friday was arms/abs. Lots of curls,skull crushers,crunches. Was at home. Saturday, did 1/2 hour on elliptical, followed by abs. Sunday, did 1/2 hour on a bike, followed by abs. Was at my parents both days, visiting, so didn't want to do too much. Visiting was more important. Yesterday, did chest at lunch, back after supper in the evening (was working a 16 hour shift). Today, did legs at lunchtime. Squats x5 sets Hamstring curls x5 sets Calf raises x5 sets Leg press x4 sets

I've had my nexus 4 (lg) for 1.5 years now, with no case, no screen protector and it's still good. People's reactions when I hand it to my 6 & 3 year olds is hilarious. It's like they are about to have a panic attack. It's taken 4 foot drops onto tile, dropped out of grocery carts onto concrete etc... And is still kicking.

So, yesterday was a rest day. On a 5 day off stretch, so, trying not to screw with the routine too badly. Did a dual chest/back workout this am at the house. Alternating sets. Flat bench/outside grip pull ups x5 sets Incline dumbbells/dead lift x4 sets Dumbbell flies/bent over row x4 sets Push ups/reverse grip chin ups x4 sets

05/23: chest day (at home) flat bench, barbell x6 sets incline bench, dumbbell x5 sets flat bench, dumbbell fly x4 sets pushups, hands one step up (simulate decline press) x4 sets 05/24: back day (at work, lunchtime) outside grip pull-ups x4 sets seated cable row, parallel grips x5 sets deadlifts x4 sets bent over dumbbell row x4 sets reverse grip pulldowns x4 sets 05/24: shoulders (at work, evening) seated dumbbell press x5 sets standing vertical row x4 sets standing dumbbell raises to the front x4 sets standing dumbbell lateral raises x4 sets standing overhead barbell press x4 sets dumbbell shrugs x4 sets 05/25: arms (at work) seated overhead dumbbell skull crushers/preacher curl x5 sets each, alternating flat bench skull crushers/standing barbell bicep curls x5 sets each, alternating rope grip two hand triceps pulldowns/cable two hand bicep curls x4 sets each, alternating single hand triceps cable pulldowns/single hand bicep curls x5 sets each, alternating 05/26: legs (at work) squats x5 sets alternating with dumbbell bicep curls (lightweight) hamstring curls x5 sets alternating with triceps pulldowns (lightweight) calf raises x4 sets leg press x2 sets 10 minute warm down on elliptical did abs at home each night, except 05/24 due to working for 16 hours.

Sounds like a good company with people who enjoy what they do.

Yeah, I realize there is a lot of misleading info. Most of what I plan on using from the samples is the bcaa stuff, have the arginine,glutamine, alanine, l-leucine (sp?) Type complexes. Some are branded as pre-workouts with caffeine in them as well. Like I said, not sure what all I'm even willing to try. I know I won't use some.

Been doing protein shakes for a couple months now (a couple a week) and it hasn't affected my bowels yet. Luckily.

Thanks Shogen. The sample bottle I got in my gift bag as part of my local supplement stores sale just says to use 2 heaping scoops with a glass of cold water. Not when, etc. Will probably just use pre-workout then. Not looking to go too extreme. Also got some pre-workout samples to try, etc. Not sure what all I'm willing to try. So far, I know I'm not going to use the purple k creatine pills. Will give them away. And not really interested in the hydroxycut either. Lots there to look at.

Being in Canada, ordering online from the states isn't really feasible. But Popeye's had a nice sale on today, so I ran over and picked up a jug of protein, and a box of bars for long days at work. They gave me a nice goodie bag, with a jug of bcaa's, pre-workout samples, etc. Some cups, a T-shirt, a bag of protein chips and so forth as part of the sale. Think I may need to finally try some pre-workouts and bcaa's, have only just in the last couple months started doing the odd protein shake, so about to see if these make a difference for me.

Who all takes bcaa's? When do you take them? Starting to ramp up the workouts, and looking for a little extra. Are these a take 1/2 hr before workout similar to a pre-workout? Or just a once daily, like first thing with breakfast type of deal? Looking to get over some plateau's that I've hit.

Model up some response curves, start with 6.5 cubic ft, tuned to 28hz. And go from there. Find something that isn't going to give a huge bump in response in a narrow range of frequencies, but still is able to give decent output. Model numerous options and compare. The reason I suggest starting where I am, is it is in the middle of their size recommendation, and 28-34 hz seems to be a decent tuning range for daily music listening, you wanted lower tuning so start there. Try same size, but model for a 22,24,26,28 hz tune and look at response curves, output, and port length. See whether it's feasible to build an enclosure that will fit your space and accommodate the port length.

Give max dimensions, type of music listened to, enclosure style you think you'd like etc. As always, proper enclosure has the largest effect on whether you will enjoy the end result or not.

Felt the same for years. Now I'm almost 30 lbs lighter, and feeling better than I ever did. It's worth finding the time.

Looks like it's just cardboard to figure out placement first?

I find its routine. If you make it part of your routine, you just naturally do it without having to "remember" or think about it. If you can consciously make it part of your routine, and be consistent for about the first month, you should be able to continue with minimal conscious effort after. It's forcing your mind and body to make it part of it's regular routine at the start. For me, Tuesday was a quick work out day. Did, flat bench, squats, incline dumbbell, tricep pulldowns. Yesterday was, parallel grip pull ups, bent over barbell row alternating with hamstring curls, outside grip lat pull downs, bent over dumbbell row at lunch time. Last night was seated overhead skull crushers, laying down skull crushers, preacher curl, standing barbell curl, single handed triceps cable pulldowns, single handed cable bicep curls. Today is going to be abdominals, crunches (x2 sets), leg raises, oblique twists, leg pumps (not sure what these are supposed to be called), another set of crunches, finish with a plank.

Just vacuumed out the camper, flushed the plumbing antifreeze out of the lines, and washed it's exterior. Starting to get ready for camping this weekend. Can't wait.

Thanks for the explanation Tirefryr, Was more just making an observation of something I found funny than anything else.

Stephen93s10, don't worry so much about what others do, think more about what you enjoy doing, can excel at doing, and get paid for. Then focus on doing the best you can at that. For example, I enjoy being an arseho, and I'm quite good at it. So I got a job as a prison guard, so I get paid to be an arseho. Love the forum's filtering... I thought of all places, that swear words would be allowed in the hop...

Awesome looking work

It is amazing the amount of knowledge that there was on these types of topics available before the internet. Then, with the internet, came widespread misconceptions and myths, that so many are accepting as truth, cause they've seen it regurgitated so many times on forums, but have never done any actual research into. The internet, IMO, has been the bane of knowledge, and brought on an era of morons. *note: this above comment is not directed at anyone in particular, but more, a personal observation of society on a whole.
