Addicted much? hope so =P

Felt good today, i had to move some coils of aluminum weighing in at 101 pounds from shoulder height to the floor, and 2 of them back up to shoulder height, it played with my sore shoulder slightly because i was not warmed up for it at all, but it was SUPER sunny and the warmth felt SO good! I had a pretty decent gym day, enjoyed the warm walk in my board shorts and sleeveless shirt, but an average workout, but i was getting pretty tired about 2.25 hours into my workout but i just got myself into a groove and was doing mass push ups and dips, and bicep curls, i was extremely exhausted when i left but i felt great. My gym buddy abandoned me... so i just strolled around aimlessly but there was lots of cute girls so i had plenty to keep me busy =D Getting pretty excited about the weekend, looks to be decent weather which means MORE exercise!

Great day, not a great workout =P it was good. I had a wonderfull 45 minute bike ride on my Rocky Mountain, and did a large figure 8 in waterdown, and that bike still amazes me as much as the first time i rode it. Had a nice walk to the gym, got there and was shocked by the crowds >_< haha i counted 8 people. My gym buddy ditched me for her grandfathers 90th bday? what the hell is that? haha j/k. Got some good numbers pressed, lots of push up, chin ups, and bicep curls, and just enjoyed it today, loved the walk in the warm weather and i am starting to lose my stark whiteness. Hoping to get outside tomorrow for a bit and just relax lots. What are you most looking forward to this summer?

a pic of my at the gym, not flexing, and doing bicep curls, push ups, and hand stands.

Had a hell of a workout, i hit my numbers! its been about 3 weeks since i could post that! i got 4 reps 205 lbs bar bell flat bench, 3 reps 200 lbs bar bell incline bench. That was how i started my workout, i got all my numbers, did some insane amount of sit ups on the decline bench with it jacked about 1 1/2' in the air to add some substantial difficulty. My shoulder feels meh, its there but not dead. My gym buddy was completely mia and i feel pretty fantastic. My arms are starting to feel like there almost swollen, they are much bigger now cold then they were warm a couple months ago and just feel very prominent. I just feel so good its hard to describe but everyone here understands what that means =D

so i am going to see thor tomorrow evening, what are some reviews?

Disappointed today, i hurt my left fore arm at work. I knew it wasn't a good idea but we were rushed with people and i need the axles unloaded fast so i lifted them off the truck (above shoulder hight, @ 125 lbs per axle) and did a slow drop with them to the ground, this is about 30 lbs more then i can curl so it was straining but i did it with no stretching or warming up and thats what killed it. It plagued my workout most of the day although i hit about 90% of my numbers. I picked up a double big mac (just he sandwich) from mcdonalds on my way home to help support the ronald mcdonald house, although i am against most charities and i personally never need there services i like what they do for the community. I had quite the argument today with my brother and dad at work, my brother gets pissed at me because i avoid 100% working on my knees, it causes me great discomfort and a lot of pain (arthritis) so it seems logical not to do it. But according to my brother and and dad i no longer have arthritis and the pain i am feeling does not exist i am making it up..... i could have round housed him through a wall! we argue this a lot because they feel like i no longer have pain and the pain i do have is imaginary at best. I really do feel that i know WTF is going on with my body but apparently they know bette? I get great satisfaction in the fact that i will be well prepared when i get old, and when they get arthritis i can do this all to them =D haha its not the most beneficial approach but it pisses me off that i am told that i am lying and i don't know what i am feeling but they do >_<

I had a sad truth on tuesday... i ran maybe 60 feet across my parking lot to my buddys car to go out with some friends and i just kinked my hip weird. This is an extremely common thing for me, sometimes if i role over in bed and drag my toe it happens, turn to fast, receive any sort of hit in the side of the leg even small. So i went the day very very stiff and tender knowing exactly what would fix it, Tylenol? HELL NO, hurting the other hip to take my mind off it? NO haha biking! low impact cardio with clipless (they clip in i don't get the name) pedals and smooth repetitive motion does WONDERS for my arthritis!

haha not a gym night >_< but i had a good night, i tried super pump250, it was meh. It was lick licking 1mr off your finger tip? i noticed some energy, if i had never used 1mr or any more intense energy shake then i would have probably been more impressed. I took it with the straight up knowledge of not going to the gym i was going biking, and it was a pretty awesome ride, i didn't hit the bruce trail just bombed waterdown all over the place! and just felt to good! wheelies through intersection, mad bunnie hops over manhole covers and just having some fun with the bike.

Superpump250 - a low end casual energy shake, it would be sufficient for a casual gym attendee and not for any one with the type for workouts i do.

My Bike, this is my 4th season, it is truly an incredible machine!

had a good workout, i was overly tired and just un motivated today. I got my numbers agin which thrilled me, but i tried something new. I was doing the rope on the pully machine and a guy recommended i talk to the one trainer and use his dip belt and do some real dips. So i did just that and did 15 reps @ 35 lbs, 15 reps 25 lbs, and about 40 reps un weighted throughout my workout. My triceps felt insane! So i am going to look into getting a dip belt, i really enjoyed using it and was very happy with how comfortable supporting the weight was. I forogt picture day so i will try to have that up for sunday.

My warm ups just felt heavier then they usually do, But i got 4 reps 200 lbs bar bell incline bench, and destroyed the 100 lb dumb bells on the flat bench with a smooth 3 reps. Pushed my dips even more today, got 10 reps @ 60 lbs, and damn did i feel spectacular after. Needing a dip belt =D its no longer a want. Got soaked on my walk home (with an umbrella)

Took these photos after the gym, i apologize for the quality, i pride myself on taking great photos but... when you have it set on a 10 second timer on a desk leaning on a pen... its hard to make the magic happen >_< Feel free to ask any questions comments, or critiques.

I only want to comment on your post title. "Addicted much"

We are addicted to the endorphins that working out brings. Most of us seek them for similar but different reasons. To describe your addiction or mine would require a degree in Psychology. Keep your addiction healthy, balance life and work. Keep family close and don't forget to have fun in between.

4 yrs ago..a young man I mentored found me on here. He and I were like mother and son since he was 15. He greeted me at the drinking fountain at the gym one night and called me felinecougar. I'd been had. He knew. He studied this site...did his home work.. I spread my addiction...my virus. Once you catch it it's yours,...it will make you healthier or it will destroy.
Enough said...addiction is what it is.

Haha yeah, i wouldn't say im addicted to the lifting, its the way i feel and the way i look, i can assure you if i could get this from sleeping i would have 5 year naps =D It gets me out of the house and give me some substantial goals.

DIPS!!!! haha i had a good workout over all, i think my shoulders starting to make progress. I really pushed dips, got 5 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps, @ 80 lbs. For the record that is quite heavy >_< and then worked my self down and i felt SO good. I was talking to the guy at Body max nutrition in water down and he sells lifting belts, and wrists straps and what not so hes going to see about getting a dip belt. Ahhh (sighs) i just feel fantastic right now.

Scissor cut feeling, i had a fantastic workout. I got my usual numbers and my shoulder is really starting to feel good. My headphones are about 50% through the replacing process, and the weather cleared up. I did weighted dips once again. so i tried to push myself as far as i could this time and i did pretty well i think. 7 reps, 5, and 3 reps @ 90 lbs. (2x 45 lb plates) putting my somewhere around 230 lbs total. I did about 4 sets warm up and 5 cool down and my low pecks feel like someone cut them. This is the best low peck burn i have ever had and far far far exceeds my bench pressing and push ups i have been doing. Had a wonderful walk home, and just a great day. My gym buddy is back after 2 weeks mia doe to illness and she did great for a first day back. And to top it all off i had some teenagers asking me for tips to increase mass =D they said i looked huge and i firmly corrected them with good, haha there is guys in there that look huge >_< Looking forward to saturday and a sweet bike ride =D my jake the snake needs a run =D
