Intense wookout last night, brehs.
One handed push-ups and lateral push-ups. No jokes. Should be completely ripped for Vibes.

Kang'd.

[jnjn]

tasb, those stretches were brutal, but they helped!
i had no idea how tight my hips/legs were...i guess once you get used to that feeling you forget what it's like otherwise.
i was stretching for about 30 min last night & by the end my hips were soooo much looser!
my fave is that lotus stretch...it's actually quite comfortable. on the other hand that lotus pose feels so completely unnatural
i also picked up a foam roller on my way home & wow what a difference! talk about brutal! that shit hurt so bad for a while, but worked out most of the kinks...it's my new bff

you guys probably know about the foam roller already, but if you don't & you've got some soreness you can't work out, get it! it's great, for reals

[TakeAStepBack]

Sweet. Glad you tried them out. I'm telling you, stretching is key.
(holds tongue on several remarks within jnjn's post)

[halfstar]

Didn't read JenJen's post. tl;dr'd.

Didn't work out last night. Went to Roger Waters. Won't work out tonight. Too tired. Will be ripped for vibes. Kang'd.

[jnjn]

my apologies for the rambling...i've had hip & knee issues

, get yourself a foam roller...it is the shit

[TakeAStepBack]

I think those foam rollers are for physical therapy....
What are you 65 yr old, jnjn?

WC: can flat palm the floor. Knees together, legs straight.

1. ><
2. jnjn ><

[jnjn]

laugh it up man
my runner friends swear by them.
it's like a deep massage...works all the knots out. so far so good

edit to add: i too can flat palm the floor, so suck it

[halfstar]

WTF does flat palm the floor mean and wtf is a foam roller?

[jnjn]

it's like a pool noodle, but denser. i got one from modells...target sells them too.
avoid the cheap white ones...i heard they're a bit too soft & break down easily.
you just roll the sore part of your body over it, like the dude in this video

why the frick doesn't the embedding work anymore??? whatevs, you tube "foam roller stretches" if you want to check it out

[TakeAStepBack]

Seriously, i watched this one 3 times the uh, exercise was so enthralling.

I'm gonna watch it again i think....

[TakeAStepBack]

Alright, brehs.

Early work departure today to handle some bidness. Then I has plyometrics this evening.

Enjoy your roller stretcher or your couch surfin' or what have you......

[jnjn]

foam roller dude...get it right

[TakeAStepBack]

Totally dawged it tonight during plyometrics. I even stopped 45 minutes in. I'm going to blame the earlier siimb. As that may have taken my stash energy supply today, brehs.

Better luck next time for this wook.

[TakeAStepBack]

Bi's, back and ab rippers tonight, brehs.

I'm pumped. I've got to keep the energy high, mang. last night was one of those reminders about slackin'. I slack'd.

I'm going to up my weight tonight on the bi's, brehs. Get that true, raw, complete swole on and then go mack some wookettes at the pub.

[halfstar]

I didn't do shit. Lols.

Will tonight, though. Gonna be epcot. Up to 172lbs. Freaking toight.

Will look into TASB's video. All the best.

[halfstar]

Mebbe I can just hire the brahd from the video to come rub me down, instead?

[TakeAStepBack]

The dude talking will ruin the video. Just watch without sound.

Breh, are you 172 lb solid or loose in the cage, breh?

I'm currently 158, damn near solid. I will be solid come January when i start the jujitsu.

[jnjn]

congrats on the weight gain
how tall are you boys?

more stretching last night...lower half feels good.
i will attempt to run again tonight. hoping to get in about 6 miles & no knee pain.
wish me luck...i'm gonna need it

[TakeAStepBack]

I'm 4' 4.5", about.

[halfstar]

Thanks.

I am 5' 9.5", about. Scale says between 15-17% body fat. Little soft around the belly. Lols. Lols.

[TakeAStepBack]

Sweet, mang. How the hell does the scale know your mass index?

[halfstar]

It is fancy.



Apparently it sends electricity through your body and can calculate it that way.

[jnjn]

the scale is smart, duh

actually i wanted to get one of those, but was afraid i'd become terribly obsessive so decided against it. best i don't know

[TakeAStepBack]

[TakeAStepBack]

Interesting. i will look into one of these jibs.

I also realize that is a tall mofo. I will look like :halfstar:'s mini-me standing side by side.

[halfstar]

I am not tall. Actually more on the short side. Are you ser < 5'? Ser?

[halfstar]

Oh, and I weigh myself a lot. The scale is right there, and fun. You put in your height and age and it does the calculations...weight, body fat and bmi I think.

[TakeAStepBack]

No, breh. But I'll bet yous was like WTF??

We're about the same height, give or take an inch. 'cept I'm prolly way tighter in the cage and better looking.

[jnjn]

i lose & gain very easily so i weigh myself every morning to make sure i stay in check
132 is my sweet spot

[TakeAStepBack]

height?

[jnjn]

5' 5"...taller than you

[halfstar]

I was gonna lols.

[halfstar]

5' 5", 132?



Is there junk in the trunk?

[TakeAStepBack]

5' 5"...taller than you

[jnjn]

junk, yes

the number is deceiving for sure. i wear a size 4. not a curvy girl (no hips or boobs really) so i try to keep some fat on in order to keep whatever little curves i do have.

my thinnest was when i first started biking about 5 yrs ago. i got down to 122, wearing a size 0 & even the 0 jeans were beginning to get a little loose
i was so freaking lean, but i lost my butt & was accused by some of having an eating disorder (i didn't). no one considered me "fit", rather just "too skinny" & i don't like being "too skinny".

right now i'm just trying to maintain my weight & increase muscle definition.

[TakeAStepBack]

Wow. You took that like a champ.

Most girls would have clobbered for a comment like that. Shit I was ready to hold him down for you.

[halfstar]

#1?

[jnjn]

well if we're talking health & fitness, body weight is part of that equation so

plus, i'm not that insecure...what matters most to me is how comfortable I am in my own skin, not how others feel

sorry , no #1's

[TakeAStepBack]

Admirable.


should still get clobbered.

[halfstar]

I lol'd.

[jnjn]

should still get clobbered.

no worries, i'll kick his ass at vibes
if he's all gorilla juice head'd by that time he'll be able to take the hit

[TakeAStepBack]

Vibes 2014?

[halfstar]

When is Vibes? It always comes on the wrong week.

[jnjn]

already thinking of excuses to bail, huh?

wc: will not be attending vibes 2011 or any vibes thereafter

1.

[halfstar]

Lols. I went in 01. 10 year reunion'd?

[TakeAStepBack]

Alright, brehs. it is that time again. Time to exit stage left, get a massive swole aond go to the local pub with a raging boner.

Enjoy your roller jobby, running, couch surfin' or whichever activity you have planned.

Good luck, bruhs.

[halfstar]

Nice workout last night.....Front squats, incline dumbbell presses, lunges and rows.

[TakeAStepBack]

Lastnight brought the heat.

pull-ups galore including corn cobs.
curls of all kinds, static, etc...
ab rippers for dessert.

I couldn't pull my shirt off after all those curls my swole was so big. So I had to flex rip that shit clean off.

[halfstar]

Nams.

How do I get killer abs in 3 months? Thanks.

[TakeAStepBack]

350 core/ab moves every other day. Cardio on the off day. Eat good whole foods.

So far, I am 6 weeks into this program and I don't think super abs is going to be the end result from the first rotation. But, I also had a nice beer tire to kick to the curb in the process. I'll have to wait until the very end to make any solid judgements about this plan.
