[SQUAT or DIE!]

[dannynb]

[Dingo06]

let me make sure about family duty.... if i can get em to push off sea world then i should be fine with the 13th.

and for Texas roadhouse, im in for steak and sweet taters.

[dannynb]

let me make sure about family duty.... if i can get em to push off sea world then i should be fine with the 13th.

family first bro...if you can't make it we'll pick another date...


Everyone just chime in with dates they're available and I'll get this going...c'mon now.

[Dingo06]

the whole sea world thing is overrated, we had a couple 2 day passes and we've only used 1, so the wife wants to use it before the season is up..... im kinda over the place, the shamu show sucked, the big damn fish splashed everyone a couple times with sardine water, then the show was over. not the spectacle it was hyped to be.

[Sugarbutt]

as for "pain-in-the-sugarbutt" we'll do something for her...if no one else can make it Sugar I'll come up myself and we can lift...deal?? So Sept 29th she's back in Tejas...when would you like to get together my little difficult gal?? :P

Hahahaha..."pain-in-the-sugarbutt"...cute. =)

I don't care...it'll hafta be ASAP though because I don't really plan on being around the DFW area that long...

[Braindrop]

Or do the 13th (which I'll miss), then do one Oct 4 for Sugar? 27th is the only Saturday I'm in town in September.

[Dingo06]

i can make the drive to san marcos for the 27th, if yall are makin it on the 4th. as far as i know, as of this morning, sea world for me is set for the 13th, and i have the wifes blessing for a road trip the 20th or 27th. and then NO MORE TRAVEL UNTIL THX GIVING..... "so let it be written, so let it be done" (dont know if any of you saw the ten commandment with yule brenner and i think charleton heston, that was king ramses saying...)

[drtyoldman31]

Ok, I've been out of the loop for too long....What happened? Are we set for dates, times, and locations or what? Is it too late for me to throw my two cents in?

[Dingo06]

danny, i think due to conflicting schedules we are down to

And for the sweetened abc - oct 4th at metroflex.

Sounds good....as long as Sugar can make it...my main reason for driving that away is to make up for her missing out at the last ABC and she's heading off again soon.

is your vehicle more fuel efficient than ol dannys big ass tahoe?
I found out the hard way about that this past weekend, i drove from dallas to lubbock on 12 gals of gas (i was in mother in laws scion) vs the 20-24 gals my truck uses for the same trip. (1 way)

sorry man, not tryin to preach, just tryin to find an easy way for all of us to make it to both.

[Dingo06]

v6? phooey i think those are a trick to get you to buy what you think is a more fuel efficient vehicle...
i was askin a guy about an 08 colorado (thinkin about down sizing my silverado) but it only got about 2 mpg better than my truck.

chicken, tuna and green veggies mainly broccoli and brussel sprouts..... helped me lean up for my wedding. i found switching all my carb intake to nothing but veggies, mainly broc and brussel sprouts then cauliflower, corn and carrots and leaving out taters (even sweet ones) oats and every other starchy carb out, not even bread.
i also ate alot of granny smith apples and oranges. but mainly the chicken, tuna and green roughage.

its usually an hr or so later for me, but if you take in some fat w/ the meal it helps slow down the protein digestion, which even if it doesnt actually make me fuller longer, it mentally keeps me from getting hungry... i drink almost 2 gal of water daily..

[Dingo06]

the only fats i take in when im trying to eat that clean are from the olive oil i use to cook with, and thats all. Its most likely a mistake on my part, but I've got tons to learn on proper nutrition.

i know its greatness and all, but trust me when i say "choke" it down. Its just not something i've ever enjoyed, even as a kid. I think it has something to do with the school making these disgusting peanut butter and honey/syrup (not sure which) sammiches for lunch.... being the poor kid that i was, i had to either eat that or go without.

Who wants to hit the gym wiff me?! :)

Time to start a new 3 month cycle.

Friday will be quads. Calves on both days. Along with abs!! Its going to be fun. I really hope to kick my body into overdrive in the next 3 months.

Time to get back on the Pak!!

the dates set for the next 2 Texas abc events are as follows :
sept 27th in san marcos - shoulders
oct 4th in arlington (dallas ft worth) at metroflex - legs.

you should be able to atleast make one of these, the san marcos abc is probably closer for you. ???
we are really trying to drum up people for both, so we can have larger more energetic abc's. The more the merrier definitely applies here.

[TXPWRLFTR]

Ugh....I can't make either of these....still in football season...if we win out we advance into mid November....then after that it is basketball...good thing about basketball is I will have some weekends off....and then I can finally make and ABC....

I will keep looking out for a good date for me to attend.

Hope to meet and greet you all soon...and get after it!!!

we will be out of town that day

it would have to be the oct date



we should try and get something setup in Austin sometime

[Dingo06]

Sorry, but the 4th is back. Danny and I decided that...I thought??

your right, i was just tryin to keep the majority on the same page. sry.

txpower, that sucks that you cant make either of em. thankfully they're not the last/only times. we'll get it all together so we (everyone that really wants to) can get together.

danny... how about we start tryin to set up one big one sometime in the distantly near future?? next summer sometime, so we can all have plenty of time to make prep to be there. Like the superbowl, everyone always makes plans to sit around and eat shit, drink beer and watch a bunch of men get paid millions to play a game kids play for free....

if we can all commit to one day.... like those attending the cage and the o, and set aside hotel/travel $$$ and everything else. Ya know those east coast abc's are full normally, not just 4-5 ppl.

I thought everything was supposed to be bigger here in TX!

I know, I've been to rhode island once, for tech training..... toured the state in about 2 hours it seemed. Every county in Texas is larger for that matter....
They have population density, true, but ya know what, DFW has 6million people in it, I'm sure Austin, Houston and San Antone aren't too terribly far behind, so I know its alot to ask, but I'm willing to, I just wonder how many more are, to put a few bucks aside a week, so that travel expenses arent an issue for anyone so we can all meet up at some pre-appointed date. I know people in brownsville, el paso and amarillo will have the biggest expenses. We can try to offset it with an actual yearly meeting place, centrally located to all.

Just an idea.....

its cheaper here than back in katy.. its still over 3.50 here i pay like 3.45-3.49.. i think its expensive cause its an AG based town, everything is fuel based..

[Dingo06]

ive come to notice the 3 best things to have in a town for cheaper gas are
a wal mart gas station
a quick trip
a race trac.
If they are all 3 located pretty close together, within a block or 2, gas drops.

but anyway, hows the weight comin?

could be as simple as your losing and gaining at close to the same rate... fat for lean. I know i dropped some weight fast just by switching all my carbs to green veggies, granny smith apples and oranges. high protein.. chicken, tuna, salmon, low fat cottage cheese. cardio was only 15 mins 4 times a week, i know everyones diff. but it helped me shed some fat pretty fast.
now that im back to whole grain bread, rice, ground beef.... im startin to put on some mid section weight. not too happy....

edit*
forgot i was taking 1 pak of cuts right when i woke up, then 15 mins later downing a shake made of water and universal ultra when pro.

[Dingo06]

universal has so many products/variations its hard to keep up. Its good though, something for everyone.
I like the vanill ultra whey pro, and right now since im tryin to add weight, im mixin it pwo with 4oz promise land choco milk. about 2-4oz 2% milk and the rest water.

promise land is awesome choco milk, when diet permits.

[Dingo06]

how long are you breaking, i tried 45 secs between mine. i kept the weight the same, no increase or decrease. and like i said 4-5 sets in i was toast, i squeezed out a sixth but my form was way off. wobbly kneed and used some upper back thrust to finish the last one off.

i take as long as necessary to have my soul reenter my body....... well the template im using requires that i increase the weight every set... no set number of sets i have..

[Dingo06]

i think ima try this method next week again, but increase slowly, 5-10lbs at a time. Im still tryin to get over a plateau.

add 5-10 a set... if i do this right, i may be able to increase my base weight 10lbs in a month, maybe less. a month though, is only 4 workouts.

[Dingo06]

hey i do up to 20 a set... and my max is getting up there....

only thing ive ever maxed is DL, 315lbs, but i dont think its a true max, because i do alot of set before hand, starting at 185x20 then adding 20lbs at a time and pyramiding down from 8 reps.
205x8
225x6
245x4
265x2-4
285x1
315x1

im hesitant to do that with squats, i cant just drop the weight from squat, like ya can in a DL.

i dunno, look at johnnie jackson...

I like rom training, it really helps my knees believe it or not.
as far as the running, i doubt i can make the 1/4. my cardio consists of steep uphill walking on the treadmill. 3.5-4.0 pace.

also, on a side note, wallyworld has some cheap protein, 2lbs for 12$. im in a $$ pinch so i had to slum it, lol

[SQUAT or DIE!]

is it body fortress?? i bought there 5lb tub of it for like 30 bucks..

it might be, i had to mix it with what was left of universals ultra whey pro, im spoiled, i know.

it has some creatine in it supposedly. but hey as long as it works.

[SQUAT or DIE!]

never tried any UN proteins other than some realgains samples.. i buy whatever i can afford..

ultra whey pro is right around 30$ online.
real gains is the shit, last time i bought it it was 35$ for 6lbs.

I know I've been the biggest one touting this and trying to get us all together..... that being said, sugar how long do you have in dfw?
The reason I'm asking is that my wife got a call today, he 10year highschool reunion is set for 10/4 :-(
I told her since i already had my metroflex date set, i'd see how flexible you guys are?
Danny, squat, sugar.... anyone else????
I dont wanna miss this, especially if it means its just danny and sugar, incase squat cant get there either.

[SQUAT or DIE!]

sugar is goin back up north shortly after her return... im fairly open right now, cash is real low so a later date may be good for me... but whatever yall decide

[Dingo06]

i was only thinking of delaying it one more week, to 10/11, the next saturday.

[SQUAT or DIE!]

i can do that, but this is mostly for sug so if shes not there its almost pointless, but id still go

Well, I'm set to leave on the 6th or 7th...my flexibility can change depending on one of two things:
1) Whether my friend is going to be in town to go back with me
2) What my ship date is going to be...

I contemplated it...there are a lot of people down south that I wanna see...granted, they're all over, from the Valley to Eagle Pass/Del Rio...but I just don't think I should spend the money or the miles on my car...I'm about to take a 1600-mile trip the day after the semi-ABC on the 11th...

no, as oon as its complete, some other corporate a-hole will decide we need it improved so they can raise the tolls.

thats another thing on 121, no toll booths, it reads your toll tag, if no tag they snap a pick of your plate and bill you....

I'm really not looking forward to the drive. It's stupid. I can drive an hour or two around DFW and still be in DFW, but if I drive two hours south, I'm in like, Killeen, Waco, and damn near Austin!!!

[Dingo06]

Yay. Have a fun drive...driving 35 to Laredo isn't bad...I've found, however, that west Texas and Ohio (the whole state - boooo!!) are the worst places to drive!!

Danny thanks for lettin me use the gym this past saturday.
the lat pulldown machine is alot heavier than the cable crossover.
I did arms and was using the entire 150lb stack for pressdowns and curls. so i wanted a lil more weight, i put the smaller straight bar (12" or so) on the lat pulldown, i had to drop the weight on it to 80lbs to be able to press it for reps....

it just seemed really mismatched for weight.
but it was still a great workout,

Thanks again.

This is crazy, but my fiance is in Iraq and needs boot socks...I can't think of any place that sells long, green socks...and I'm only like, 2 hrs from Hood now...can I take my enlistment papers and an ID and be like, "Hey...can I get on base?" I'd get lost, no doubt...

Hope y'all are doing okay over there, btw!! Stay safe!!

hey, your kneee still hurting, wb33 is showin that women suffer more acl injuries than men, it has to to with hip movement, they have developed a core program working the hell outa abs which in turn stabilizes the hips and fixes knee problems in women.
