We were actually planning on having 13 but 6 guys cancelled last minute with legitimate excuses. (ie work, family issues, etc.) Hopefully everyone will be able to make it next time!

The Workout
Since there were seven of us, I devised a fun little circuit so that we all could lift together. Here's what it looked like...

1. Elevated SLDL - 6 sets of 15-20 reps
---alternating with---
1. Walking BB Lunges - 6 sets of 8-10 reps per leg
---alternating with---
1. Hammer Strength Single Iso-Leg Press - 6 sets of 10-15 reps per leg

Once that circuit was completed we moved on to circuit #2...

2. Standing Calf Raises - 4 sets of 20-30 reps
---alternating with---
2. Lying Leg Curls - 4 sets of 12-15 reps
---alternating with---
2. Seated Donkey Calf Raise Machine - 4 sets of 20-30 reps
---alternating with---
2. Weighted Hyperextensions - 4 sets of 15-20 reps

After everyone finished circuit #2 we all took our turn on the 45 degree leg press for some "crazy 10's" as I like to call them. The idea is to pick a weight you could do +20 reps with, and you do a set of 10 reps, rack the weight and take 10 deep breaths, do another set of 10 reps, rack the weight and take 10 deep breaths, do another set of 10 reps, etc, etc, etc... as many sets of 10 as you can do. The goal is 10 sets of 10, so 100 total reps. That finished everyone off nicely... I don't think anyone left the gym feeling like they still had alot left in the tank.

The PWO Meal
Chipotle was chosen as the PWO meal, and we did our best to devour as many burritos and burrito bowls as possible... but I don't think anyone ate more than one. Those things are hyuuuuuge! I went with a barbacoa (shredded beef for you non-chipotle eaters out there) burrito with beans, cheese, corn, lettuce, diced tomato's, and hot salsa + smoky tobasco sauce. Mmmmmmm, good!

The Entertainment
Kareoke contest... need I say more? It was the semi-final for a Kareoke contest I'm in... I won the first round a few weeks ago, and it was time for the semi's! After a few warmup songs (Brown Eyed Girl, The Thunder Rolls) it was time for the contest. There were 6 contestants and I was 5th to sing. I went with Uncle Kracker's "Drift Away" and after a long deliberation, the judges decided it was a tie for 1st, so myself and another guy both get to go to the finals. The finals are being held this sunday evening, the 27th, at 7pm at the Toby Keith Bar & Grill at Harrah's Casino in North KC. Anyone in the area is welcome to attend and cheer me on to victory! 1st place gets $1,000!!!

The Pics
I'll get them uploaded ASAP... I'm literally on dial-up right now.

[Sir J-Werk]

Yeah buddy! I saw the man in action on Karaoke night! He even made me sing one.... Ruthless bastard. ;)

But the night belonged to him after moving onto the finals as he was approached by a peculiar young lady who confessed Hola was, "Really cute." However, the romance was for not as she was won over by a man with stronger baldness than Hola, and was seen exchanging passionately sloppy kisses at the front door.... I digress....

The workout was awesome and Hola's right, no one left the gym with reserves in the tank.... KcJon was on hand again tearin' things up and handing out some good tips on form.... We can blame Getbustered for the crazy 10's.... "We need to do something crazy at the end of the workout...." Shortly thereafter he received his wish.... Themostocles was up in the mix and brought his little girl with him who was seen "repping" on the leg press after we had finished. An Animal in the making and one heck of a crayon artist!

What can I say about our designated camera man, Minime_moomey, that hasn't already been said? .... Just ask tmf (who is a computer genius!) what it is like to be sitting in a bathroom stall and a man with a camera just on the other side trying to see what you're doing.... But I will give him some style points though for wearing his shades throughout the whole workout.... And seeining him following Hola stride for stride as Hola ran for the restroom was priceless!

As for me I had a great time.... I even got a membership to X-treme so i can hopefully hit the weights with Hola and E-dogg85 when I am in town on the weekends.... I got my Chipotle cherry busted.... The servers in the line had their fun with me as I had NO flippin' clue what to order or choose.... (Thanks for the heads up on the barbacoa Hola.) However I was pwned by the shear size of my feast and laid it to rest in Hola's fridge until it was time to have another go at it....

Hola is a great host as he allowed me to stay at his place over the weekend.... We kept ourselves occupied with hours of "MX vs. ATV." .... Don't ever play him on the uphill climb.... he cheats.... There was a joyus celebration when he mastered the 360 flip after several.... several attempts.... (don't worry, I won't tell anyone about how much fun you had dressing up your rider with new unlocked outfits.)

Sunday morning Hola and I hit X-treme again for Back, Traps, and Rear Delts.... It was another great workout and I came away with some new knowledge that will be very benefical in the future....

What else can I say? It was a great weekend!

[Hoomgar]

Excellent write up of the event bro. Can't wait to see the pics. Will there be vids too? I saw you said something about vids.

In my defense, the shades (although awesome) are for medical purposes! I really want to know how you could leave out the act of heroism portrayed by you, Sir J, when, without any concern for your own well-being, saved my life when my legs decided they couldnt lunge any further and I began to topple. I wouldnt have lived if it were not for you catching me, my knight in shining armour! LOL

[Sir J-Werk]

Maybe some of you guys should try out for the Chiefs- they need a few good players-lol jk.

Oh gaaawd, don't even get me started about my Chiefs.... WHY DID THEY LET JARED ALLEN GO?!?!?!?!

This thread ain't good without pics... Dial up or no, we're waiting, H... Guessing it was one sweet event.

I can back up Hola on the dial-up thing.... That's what I'm running on and, hell, we could have two more sessions by the time A pic gets uploaded. lol....

My bad about the shades.... I thought you were just pimp like that. ;)

But as herculean as you portray me what you left out is that I still made you finish your set.... I'm just the Devil in disguise. Muwahahaha!

I AM a pimp like that! LOL. Now that you mention it, the devil may be correct. On a side note, what the hell was KC trying to accomplish getting rid of Jared Allen?!?!?!? (Banging head against a wall)

My bad! I didn't see your crystal pimp shaker at the ABC so that may have thrown me off.... Yes, devil is more appropriate..... Well, he was one DUI away from being done for a season.... I still hate Uncle Carl.

Haha yeah, that was me. I'd like to try it again sometime... my goal is 200 reps in under 10 minutes... it took me about 8 minutes to do the 150 rep set, so it will be tough.
