Still sore

[CSM]

Last time I used a gym other than home, I was deployed. I was just glad the MEU Commander was a bigger fitness nu than I am. We called hn "the Duke". He was me with power. Heaven forbid. Anyway, here we are on a rolling ship. No I'm 5'10 200 lbs. The Duke was about 6'4", 250. I cranked 345 on the bench press. He shows up out of nowhere and says, " not bad for an old man, Gunny". Then proceeds to warm up with my weight. He did 8 reps with 345. I was like, "asshole". And he was older than I was.

I insulted my CO when I retired because I had the Duke haul his ass up from San Diego to retire me. I was like, why do I want someone I haven't deployed and served with retire me?

Heh heh. Nothing wrong with having someone you respect and admire do the honors. My kids throw the weights around like toys. I am a bit competitive and have to remind myself constantly that I don't have to match or beat them at ANYTHING. I am soing this for ME. I will say that I don't see a lot of guys my age at the gym. The ones I do see are treadmill monkeys mostly. The only person impressed with the amount of weights I use is me and that's good enough.

Understand. The only person I EVER cared about outlifting was me.

Okay, while we're at it, jet's try THIS one ...

Clean and press 165 x 1 x10 supersetted with 10 hanging leg raises between sets. If you get all 100 of the hanging leg raises, let me know. You got better abs than me!

It's bad enough that my kids are trying to do me in with this stuff and now you gotta pilke on? I can tell you right now my kid aren't gonna share all my stuff they get when I kick the bucket so yyou must be doing this out of pure meanness! LOL!

Actually that was yesterday's workout. And in my gym rat prime I never got all 100 of the hanging leg raises. About 90 is best I've ever done. I COULD, however, do 10 sets x 1 rep with 200 at one time. Old age is a bitch. I've slacked back down to STILL twice what most folks can lift.

Good thing you have a personal masseuse, hmmm slacker?

The slacker would be my masseuese. She apparently wasn't all that interested last night.

She was apparently tired from cleaning a 4 bedroom, 3 bath, plus all the other rooms house in less than 5 hours. Weird how that physical labor would have such an effect.

For a mix up try the 300 workout, the goal is under 20 minutes, my best time was 18:25. i havent done it in a while but am working my back up to it.

Start with
25 pullups
50 push ups
50 deadlift with 135lbs
50 wipers ( lay on the ground with the deadlift bar and "bench" it hold it and bring your feet up together and "wipe side to side" to each weight plate.
50 clean and press with kettle bells each arm (40 lbs)
50 24 inch jumps
25 pullups

Its a bitch to do but I tell you, you will feel great in about 3-4 days.....

Fist time I tried it it took me 45 minutes, its a full body workout that really keeps you hopping!!!

Still trying to schedule the post workout traction from attempting this workout. When I havea clear 2 weeks, I'm going to try it.

Slacker.

Care to put your money where your mouth is, dearest?

You can clean it next time, within the time constraints, up to MY standards and you keep the check.

There is one workout that has never failed to keep people in shape. It has been successful since the beginning of civilization.
It's called "having small children."

Jess, I can tell you how to win any argument with any male at any time. It never fails.
Keep your pants on.

Hmmm ... the only problem with that, Gabby, is that it's not necessarily the right kind of excercise, for the correct duration. Yep - them little buggers wear us out but it's not usually as much cardio as we need.

Working one's butt off to support themselves and their kids on their own will get one ripped and stripped, though. BT, DT.

Meh - it depends on the circumstances and the occasion.

I can win pretty much any argument by removing his pants, for sure. And he'll be more than happy to lose the argument, btw.
