    Um, yeah a log

    Oh where to start.


    Sleep: not enough as usual, maybe 5 hours....

    Work: got lucky boss cut me loose at half day to ponder decision on taking promotion in Tampa

    Training: did legs, hit the leg press, extensions, squats (with drop set to close), finished with couple of extra sets of extensions

    well my guess is my journal will last all of maybe a week's worth of posts but what the hell i'll try it..........

"Yessir, the check is in the mail."

    ok, the sleep thing really needs work. again i got maybe 5 hours. of course the Wings are on at 10:30 so early bedtime is probably out of the question.

    great workout today. did back, bis, and calves.

    for back i did t-bar rows, dumbell rows, reverse grip pulldowns and threw in some cable rows.....

    bi's - went with barbell curls, dumbell preachers, and hammer

    calves - hit the seated calf raise and did standing calf raises...

    one of these days i will write my sets, weights, and reps down.........

    GO WINGS!!!!! please Lord tell me they have 4 in a row in them....

    Get your ass to bed Mr. You don't need to be watchin them wings.... pfft

    I would say nice workout..... but you FORGOT to list the weights! tuttut

    and... I have to tell ya, I think I'm off to Hope College..................... maybe?, possibly?...Hmm.. I think so. Don't tell me all the reasons I should be going to U-M either! Seriously remember how I was telling you about the credits? Well, they are 99.9% likely to not transfer.... and I woudl explain but it's complicated and no one understands my logic when I explain it anywayz. So I figure if I do my undergrad at Hope... I can do my Grad at U-M.... if they *ahem* accept me ......... again. Or ya know, on second thought.... just hook me up with a degree from there.

    And start putting your weights in here man, seriously. We need to see your progress ya know!

    You in Ann Arbor?

    If so, where do you train? Just curious.

    We tend to think of Sisyphus as a tragic hero, condemned by the gods to shoulder his rock sweatily up the mountain, and again up the mountain, forever. The truth is that Sisyphus is in love with the rock. He cherishes every roughness and every ounce of it. He talks to it, sings to it. It has become the mysterious Other. He even dreams of it as he sleepwalks upward. Life is unimaginable without it, looming always above him like a huge gray moon. He doesn’t realize that at any moment he is permitted to step aside, let the rock hurtle to the bottom, and go home.

    Live there.

    The Champion's on Liberty is about five minutes from my house. I've lifted there once or twice, but I don't like the equipment they have (no Hammer Strength stuff) They just have that Magnum fitness crap. That's what forced me to join Bally's.

    i lifted at that particular Champion's once. the equipment was waaaaaaaaaaaay too close together! every step you take you are bumping into someone or something. i used to lift at the one on Ellsworth actually. you go to the Bally's over by the mall i assume?

    Yup. I never had the feeling that the stuff in Champion's is too close together. Actually, seemed pretty big/open. Once you've been in the Bally's by Briarwood, though, almost anything would seem spacious.
