Its good to get the heart pumping like that, especially when cutting. I love that you do "time under tension" crunches. I wish more people knew about those instead of doing endless sit ups.

Time under tension is where it's at! That's all I ever do.

My tension is from waiting for my house to sell, waiting to pay off the mortgage so my wife will sign the divorce agreement and getting ready to move down south to start my new life.

Thanks, man. I had a great day today. My cut isn't going well, but I am lifting well.

You have a great weekend too. I'll be doing back on Saturday and Chest on Sunday.

Hey Rad,

It's hard to cut when your body is releasing a lot of stress hormone...I know how it is...I feel ya...Things will turn around soon enough though. Hang in' there and keep sculpting your Herculean physique.

Yeah, I know things are going to get better. It just isn't fun being betwixt and between.

I have had a Herculean appetite and I have had a few very strong workouts. I should just call this a bulk and be done with it. Naa, summer is coming and I shall be single soon. I am still "cutting".

Holy cow Rad, you and I are in the same boat with the divorce and all. That is terribly stressful.

Funny thing is, she moved down south to start her new life. Wave to her for me.

Keep lifting heavy and you're an inspiration to us younger bucks.

GameDayDog · 04-22-2007, 06:55 PM

Man, I've always wanted to see the Blue Man group... I hope they put on a terrific performance...

The one nyght they came to Jax was the same nyght that I was going to see Carlos Mencia... & I bought tickets to Carlos months in advance... When the Blue Man Group said - One Nyght Only - they really meant it... which sucked... I hope to catch 'em in Vegas... I hope you enjoyed the show.. I can't wait to see 'em live...

Peace..~G

It was a fantastic performance. Lots of good music (loud) using their trademark PVC instruments, plus their guitar and drum orchestra. Lots of crazy antics from the blue guyz. We had a ball. My youngest son had a college oceagraphy field trip to the Chesapeake bay and couldn't come with us, so... we called him and gave him 15 minutes of the show, "live", via cell phone.

Sounds like you had a great time. Wish I could see the show...I suppose I should look it up on Youtube. Its probably on there

So what's on the agenda this week, Rad, my friend?

**A.FreeRadical** · 04-23-2007, 11:05 PM

I was going to do this yesterday, but I still had DOMs in my chest from Thursday's Upper Body workout.

BB Flat Bench,
2 x 135 x 20
1 x 155 x 8
1 x 165 x 8
1 x 185 x 8
2 x 205 x 4
1 x 185 x 6

BB Inclined Bench,
1 x 95 x 20
1 x 115 x 8
1 x 135 x 8

I was pleased. I have done more on the flat bench before this, but I have never done that much work before going for a new max on inclines.

Thanks for the positive feedback on inspiration. I notice young guys in the gym watching me. I like giving them inspiration. It is nice to be recognized for accomplishments. Right now I got to get back on my cut. I am bumming myself out on that goal.

It was a great time.

hmmm, my agenda? Tomorrow is Leg Day, Wednesday is my massage day, Thursday is Upper Body Day, Friday is my day off and Saturday is Back and Biceps Day. Same stuff, different week. I wish I had something more exciting to tell you. Maybe my house will sell soon. When that happens all my ducks will be in a row.
