WOMEN'S ENGLISH
1. Yes = No
2. No = Yes
3. Maybe = No
4. We need = I want
5. I am sorry = you'll be sorry
6. We need to talk = you're in trouble
7. Sure, go ahead = you better not
8. Do what you want = you will pay for this later
9. I am not upset = of course I am upset, you moron!
10. You're very attentive tonight = is sex all you ever think about?
MEN'S ENGLISH
1. I am hungry = I am hungry
2. I am sleepy = I am sleepy
3. I am tired = I am tired
4. Nice dress = Nice cleavage!
5. I love you = let's have sex now
6. I am bored = Do you want to have sex?
7. May I have this dance? = I'd like to have sex with you
8. Can I call you sometime? = I'd like to have sex with you
9. Do you want to go to a movie? = I'd like to have sex with you
10. Can I take you out to dinner? = I'd like to have sex with you
11. Those shoes don't go with that outfit = I'm gay
And finally..... A recent scientific study found that women find different male faces attractive depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle. For example, when a woman is ovulating she will prefer a man with rugged, masculine features. However when she is menstruating, she prefers a man doused in petrol and set on fire, with scissors stuck in his eye and a baseball batt shoved up his backside.

Synopsis
Getting tougher. I’m starting to hit maximum effort on all the working sets.
5½ litres of water today.
Funny thing, this morning. A guy sent me a video clip, mildly porno in nature. A bunch of girls running around with guns, 
in an abandoned factory, ostensibly to rescue a comrade. They start out clothed, end up nude, shooting guns. 
I guess that's a fetish for some guys. Anyways, interspersed with this is shots of the girls training, almost nude & nude. All I could think of while watching their situps & squatting, was how bad their form is. I mean the girl squatting had no weight on a 4' padded bar & she was only going about halfway to parallel. Her thighs were at a 45 deg angle. What a travesty. I mean, if you're going to make a movie, showing a certain skill, or discipline, do it right.

Tensor Fascia Latae Not a coffee drink...HiDnGoD said:
It's part of your ITB (Iliotibial band) that runs along the side of your leg. If you place your hand in your pocket before sliding it all the way in, your hand will be resting right on your TFL. Connects from the top of the pelvic crest down to the greater trochanter. Different things can irritate this muscle. People that have change in their pocket etc.. can set TP's off in it.
As far as benching and it being affected
Are you tightening your legs and pressing your feet hard into the floor? Or are you a sissy with your feet planted on the bench as you lift? It's a hip abductor and flexor. So either you are rotating your hip to the side as you heave the weight up and maybe simuletaneously flexing your legs to get the weight up. Watch your form. It's for the chest not your legs LOL
Pretty soon you'll be running around naked and shooting guns with your form
I seriously LMFAO at thattreilin said:Tensor Fascia Latae Not a coffee drink...

Well, I did squats earlier. The way I lay on the bench, my knees don't quite reach the end, so my legs are to the sides a bit, feet planted on the floor. I may have been tensing my whole body, 'cause this happened on the last set, so I was pretty tired.
I also read in Starting Strength today, that by squatting, & not having your knees in the proper position, you can strain your TFL. I may have strained it a tiny bit (didn't actually feel anything while squatting), then the clenching while benching may have tweaked it. It's OK today.
Today I hit the gym for some cardio, nice & easy. Legs are tired, felt like lead today.
50 minutes Crosstrainer. started out at 3.0 mph, rose to 6.5 for the majority. The last 10 minutes before cool down I went to 8.0. Resistance at 7 throughout. Esta machina said I did 710 cals.

just a little ideer:
you're top sets are all hitting the 10 effort...
maybe ditch the curls and fluff for now and save the energy... hopefully squeek out a few more weeks.
Tennis elbow sucks... i used to get it in my left elbow... haven't had it flare up in a long time. not sure what exactly triggers it.

Speach by John CleeseTo the citizens of the United States of America
In light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.
Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy), as from Monday next.
Your new prime minister, Tony Blair, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.
To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium," and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it.
2. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour', 'favour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix "ize" will be replaced by the suffix "ise."
3. You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra'; you may elect to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you find you simply can't cope with correct pronunciation.
4. Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels (look up "vocabulary"). Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is unacceptable and inefficient form of communication.
5. There is no such thing as " US English." We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of "-ize."
6. You will relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out Task #1 (see above).
7. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. November 2nd will be a new national holiday, but to be celebrated only in England . It will be called "Come-Uppance Day."
8. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled by adults. If you're not adult enough to sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist then you're not grown up enough to handle a gun.
9. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. A permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
10. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and this is for your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
11. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric immediately and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.
12. The Former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling "gasoline") - roughly $6/US gallon. Get used to it.
13. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called "crisps." Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with mayonnaise but with vinegar.
14. Waiters and waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.
15. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as "beer," and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as "Lager." American brands will be referred to as "Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine," so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.
16. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie MacDowell attempt English dialogue in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.
17. You will cease playing American "football." There is only one kind of proper football; you call it "soccer". Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).
18. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the "World Series" for a game which is not played outside of America . Since only 2.1% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable.
19. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.
20. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due backdated to 1776.
Thank you for your co-operation.

Getting tougher. I’m hitting max effort on all the working sets. IMO this is the meat of the program. This here is what it’s all about, pushing for the max. Took me long enough to get here, but here I am.
For those who have gotten calipered before. I understand the principal behind the process, but can the calipers take into account interabdominal fat. This is a problem for men & isn't subc, so it can't be quantified. I called a girl that does it but I haven't heard back from her..

Little David was in his 5th grade class when the teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up - fireman, policeman, salesman,etc. David was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked him about his father.
"My father's an exotic dancer in a gay bar and takes off all his clothes in front of other men. Sometimes, if the offer's really good, he'll go out to the alley with some guy and make love with him for money."
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some colouring, and took little David aside to ask him, "Is that really true about your father?"
"No," said David, "He plays for the Montreal Canadiens but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the other kids."

^^^ Funny...
I've done the M.P. & the deads as a SS before & didn't have that problem. Since switching my workouts, I've stopped SSing. I rest 60-90 sec between sets on the warmups, & 3 - 4 min between working sets. I think it was just an off day. If I recall correctly I didn't do my usual prew.o. routine regarding foods.*Bunny* said:for the mil press, maybe the deads wore you out ... that's why there was little energy? How long is your rest b/w sets? la di dah...
Missed your progress. Great job hidn
I'm having a tendonitis issue with my left elbow. I'm gonna back off & see how that resolves.
Thanks. Yeah, it's been brewing for a coupla weeks. Unfortunately my job exacerbates it, so it's a struggle.*Bunny* said:Aww well take care of the 'itis... flare ups are a b1tc4
Fortunately I'm on vacation this week.
Unfortunately, I'm drywalling, sanding & painting, LOL. At least here I can wear my Carpal & Tendonitis apparatii.
Well, I've been doing some ab work (sit ups, planks), & some stretching, that's about it.treilin said:Use some time to stretch!!!
Sounds like a great vacation NOT
Gotta take care of injuries before they get worse. What are youdoing at work to aggravate it?
We've lived here 10 years & haven't painted this level yet. They previous owners had 3 girls so there was a lot of pink in the house. The one wall here was pink, with white & dark green paint splashes on it. Oil based over water. Had to sand the friggin thing down with a palm sander then 2 coats of primer. Aaargh!!!
Working!
I'm a mechanic in a factory. A lot of wrench turning, twisting with hands, etc. Sometimes sticking a hand in a gearbox supinate,or pronate the wrist to an extreme & try to tighten or loosen a fitting.
Plus I should seriously be wearing bumper pads on my joints. I'm always hitting my elbows, knees, ribs, "ahem", & other things on any object that protrudes more than 2 mm.

My home gym is all cluttered with rec room shit, while we're painting. And with everything I have to get done, I don't have time for my therapy sessions with Dr. Iron.
Should be done by Saturday
all the work your doing around the house should be Iron enough, come on now, you wouldn't drive 2 days to come here!
I just finished putting up shelving in the laundry room, daughter helped me.
5.00 dollars for puddy (there is about 20 holes in the wall)
30.00 to repaint (cause there is about 20 holes in the wall)
Priceless (2 hours of help from your daughter, who proceeds to tell you for 2 hours all the animals she knows and what they all eat, and how I should let daddy do this cause I am putting too many holes in the walls) LOL
Well, got most of the rec room reconditioned. Looks nice, a neutral colour, ready for some accents.
'cept the hole in the wall I was patching. If you recall we had a leak in our basement & rec room & had a guy in to fix it. With all the melting snow, I noticed some water in the rec room again. I tore down the drywall I just put up & saw the wall was wet. About 2 hours later our spice rack fell off the wall in the kitchen, right above the leak. Turns out there was an ice dam on the roof, water backed up & leaked inside. All that drywall is damp . And the friggin drywall I just took down has to go up again.
Back to working out on Monday.

I feel for you
I've heard of people, on the last night before the end of their vacation,not being able to sleep. That's never happened to me. Until last night. I didn't get to sleep 'til 02:45, then I got up at 06:00. I tired. I was gonna skip my workout tonight, so I went out & chopped ice in ther driveway for an hour.
Start back tomorrow.
Start back tomorrow.
Alrighty then.
Made it to the gym today.
Hanging leg raises: 3X15
Crosstrainer 20 min + 5 min cool down. Resistance 9, 6 mph - 12.5 mph 1 min slow, 2 min fast. 385 cals. HR max 168, 125 at the end of cool down.
BP today from the nurse at work. 142/80. I think that's the highest I can ever recall it. Stressful day, plus coffee. Usually around 125/70.
Meals, including casein shake tonight:
2375 cals, 113g fat for 43%,
200g prot for 34%, 
139g carbs for 35%.
Interesting note. When I was waiting between sets of leg raises, I wandered arround the gym. Saw this big ass mofo going hot & heavy on squats. He looked like a football player, but I can't believe a strength coach could teach a guy that badly. He had 4 plates on, for a total of 235#, he was going down all the way to almost a 45deg angle on his thighs, so his ass was moving about 8", and he had to lean waaaaay over, almost like a half way good morning. Plus he was just a shaking while moving that awesome weight. I went over, after he was done his set & asked him if he'd like a little advice on his form. He gave me such a look, I almost withered. Instead I laughed & shrugged & walked away. The man/boy is gonna get hurt, but won't take any advice. Oh, well.

Great job on the workout, obviously the guy was a meat head!!!!
Well, the gym is near 2 Universities, & there are lots of cute girls there, and he smelled like a French whore & was dressed in A&F type clothes, so I'm guessing his focus was more on looking good than actually getting anything done.ck2006 said:
Or he was more after the cute guys.
Thanks. Even though I kinda knew what I was doing before, now the knowledge is a little more solidified, so I feel more confident in trying to help people that don't want it.*Bunny* said:aww kudos to you for trying to help... you did your part to offer help, I like people like you
I'm sure a lot of people wanted to offer me advice. I forgot to mention I was on the treadmill for about 15 mins after the crosstrainer. 225 cals, 4.0 deg incline to 10.0 deg, 3 mph to 7.0 mph, for the most part. However, I did try walking at 3 mph & 15 deg, near the beginning, just for a feel. But near the end, I cranked it back up to 15 deg, & ran at 6.0 mph for about 35 seconds. I must have looked funny as hell, with every body else doing their 5.5 or 6 mph at 2.0 deg for 2179 mins. My HR was up to 172 & I was sweating like a pig. People actually move out of their way to avoid touching my airspace on the way back to the lockers, LOL.

Synopsis
As you can see I backed all my weights off 20%. I’ve decided to start back slow so as not to aggravate my tendonitis. I also have carpal tunnel & have been taking steps to alleviate it, but it’s slowly progressing. The way my right hand tingles & jolts, I’m sure surgery is in the future. With that in mind, I'm wearing straps on all my pulls, now.
My daughter had her wisdom teeth out yesterday & needed attendance, plus I wasn't feeling well, so I went home & slept. I think whatever virus I am hosting has moved into my lungs. I feel asthmatic, or something. Hurts when I take a deep breath & I get winded easily. Going to do day 2 of my convalescent workout tonight, but I'll beg off the cardio for a few days.
I'm feeling better. Baby girl is, too. She almost went back to work yesterday.
I got my workout in yesterday, but haven't had time to post it.
So, I'm talking to 2 guys at work yesterday, one hits the gym pretty regular, & we're talking about sore legs, etc. I was bitching about a book I saw for women that said not to go below horizontal when doing squats(with D.B.s, no less). Gym-boy says yeah, 'cause they're bad for ya. He does leg extensions & leg curls. I've been reading PracProg & S.S. & what they say, to me, makes a lot of sense. These guys are going on & on about how they're knees are fuggered because of squats, etc. I asked the guy if he'd done squats, & he said 20 yrs ago. I asked where he learned, & he said Flex.

FYI, some, uh, food for thought. A long read, but makes oyu wonder about all our foods.
Some food for thought.....
The Omnivore's Dilemma <http://www.amazon.com/Omnivores-Dilemma-Natural-History-Meals/dp/0143038583/ref=ed_oe_p/105-3265745-3987666/alnyethelawye-20> by Michael Pollan is a fascinating book that details the changing eating habits of Americans. I can't recommend it highly enough. It explains how, over the last 30 years, we have become a nation that eats vast quantities of corn - much more so than Mexicans, the original "corn people."
Most folks assume that a chicken nugget is just a piece of fried chicken, right? Wrong! Did you know, for example, that a McDonald's Chicken McNugget is 56% corn?
What else is in a McDonald's Chicken McNugget? Besides corn, and to a lesser extent, chicken, The Omnivore's Dilemma describes all of the thirty-eight ingredients that make up a McNugget - one of which I'll bet you'll never guess. During this part of the book, the author has just ordered a meal from McDonald's with his family and taken one of the flyers available at McDonald's called "A Full Serving of Nutrition Facts: Choose the Best Meal for You."
The ingredients listed in the flyer suggest a lot of thought goes into a nugget, that and a lot of corn. Of the thirty-eight ingredients it takes to make a McNugget, I counted thirteen that can be derived from corn: the corn-fed chicken itself; modified cornstarch (to bind the pulverized chicken meat); mono-, tri-, and diglycerides (emulsifiers, which keep the fats and water from separating); dextrose; lecithin (another emulsifier); chicken broth (to restore some of the flavor that processing leeches out); yellow corn flour and more modified cornstarch (for the batter); cornstarch (a filler); vegetable shortening; partially hydrogenated corn oil; and citric acid as a preservative. A couple of other plants take part in the nugget: There's some wheat in the batter, and on any given day the hydrogenated oil could come from soybeans, canola, or cotton rather than corn, depending on the market price and availability.
According to the handout, McNuggets also contain several completely synthetic ingredients, quasiedible substances that ultimately come not from a corn or soybean field but form a petroleum refinery or chemical plant. These chemicals are what make modern processed food possible, by keeping the organic materials in them from going bad or looking strange after months in the freezer or on the road. Listed first are the "leavening agents": sodium aluminum phosphate, mono-calcium phosphate, sodium acid pyrophosphate, and calcium lactate. These are antioxidants added to keep the various animal and vegetable fats involved in a nugget from turning rancid. Then there are "anti-foaming agents" like dimethylpolysiloxene, added to the cooking oil to keep the starches from binding to air molecules, so as to produce foam during the fry. The problem is evidently grave enough to warrant adding a toxic chemical to the food: According to the Handbook of Food Additives, dimethylpolysiloxene is a suspected carcinogen and an established mutagen, tumorigen, and reproductive effector; it's also flammable. But perhaps the most alarming ingredient in a Chicken McNugget is tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ, an antioxidant derived from petroleum that is either sprayed directly on the nugget or the inside of the box it comes in to "help preserve freshness." According to A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives, TBHQ is a form of butane (i.e. lighter fluid) the FDA allows processors to use sparingly in our food: It can comprise no more than 0.02 percent of the oil in a nugget. Which is probably just as well, considering that ingesting a single gram of TBHQ can cause "nausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse." Ingesting five grams of TBHQ can kill.
There you have it - lighter fluid. But you never thought that was in your chicken McNuggets!
