agree w/ B fold

I think I'm going to open a health club filled only with ab machines and treadmills. from what I've seen 95% of the people who "work out" wouldn't notice the difference anyway. also I'll charge double fees because I'll advertise it as a "cardioabdominal wellness fitnessplex." This might just work....

Hannibal and I have been training at my gym, while he's in town, and it's really a "fitness center." I busted in there with bands a few months ago for AR, and I was gawked at the whole time. Now, I've been going to this place since it opened 10 years ago, and EVERYONE knows me...they were still just dumbfounded.

Hannibal HATES it. Won't let him bring in a box for squats, chains, chalk, bars that aren't slick and pretty.

I started speed benching/squatting a couple weeks ago...they just weren't ready to see that.

...and FORGET pull thoughts. Those are TOO cutting edge.

"What is she doing putting that barbell in the corner and rowing with it?"

Hannibal is moving here in 2 days...then I will have him, and his garage, and Drowning Pool.

That is TOTAL gym Hell!!!!! No freakin' way could I train there...no freakin' way!!!! Almost as bas as that Golds I went to in Nashville with the large fountain in the front lobby. Killed me.

I worked out with Night Fly at her gym a few weeks back and there was a no gym bags rule...no drinks either. I snuck my chalk in though. Kills me...no bags or chalk...but they are all wearing thier powerlifting belts, tans, and doing 1/4 squats. Just makes me hate them all.

I love my garage and driveway. Not many people are tough enough to do it every week. No excuses!!! If we can't find a way...we build and make a way!!! No squat rack? We will just use some old steel drums. We just find a way to do it!!!

Sorry for the rant...

Ohhh...and this little pencil necked tanned gel haired frilly boy came over while I was benching and asked me how much I had on the bar. When was the last time you had to count the weights when you had 4 plates on each side of the bar? Duh!!!

He then, after finishing his dbell laterals with the 20's...began asking me questions about strongman with a very cocky attitude. He said that he would really like to get into that hard and heavy...then he went back to his dbell laterals and fixing his hair.

I go to a gym because if I worked out at home, I would get interupted every 5 mins to help with my son.

I gave BB a whirl, and thought it was too easy and too artificial. I can take any drug, and stack it with chicken breast, and look good. Big deal. I was so fed up at the Arnolds. Jill Mills was the best thing to hit that place. It was then that I decided that my years of being an athlete weren't over. It was time to move on.

So I put the protan away.

Seriously, I meant it when I said I want it all: Strength, speed, stamina. BB would be fun to do on the side when lean enough, just to sing the praises of a PL physique.

Wait wait....sounds like another possible strongwoman candidate here. STL may just have you hooked.

Even the PL stuff I'm doing engages all that. It's spring so I'm sprinting again. Parachutes, hills, stadiums, speed work, AR, ME; this is the best. It has purpose, other than looking F***able.

Reminds me alot of my HS and college sprinting days. The training is VERY similar. The focus and mind game make me practically nostalgic.
