Why 4am?

Come sweet slumber, enshroud me in thy purple cloak. Hmph. Doesn't even rhyme.

A rare really good post and more rare good answers about why people can't lose weight - not even if, but especially if they're distance running. http://community.livejournal.com/gymrats/1789861.html

Short version - suicides, sprints, relays, HIIT, go faster-harder not longer. Size doesn't matter, intensity matters?

Did squats and stiffy deadlifts w/o hitting my back as much - I have definitely been curving my back too much, especially as I fight for those last ones. I need to re-flex my back at each drop point to avoid that tensing problem, along with stretching just a little at the time. I try to work out less than an hour, but unless I super-set it's still 1.25-1.5 hours on avg. Intensity is easier on running than lifting, but if I just push myself in the gym even if I am still panting I find while I feel tired I can still push out most of the reps as if I had waited 2 minutes.

Should I make an icon out of trunks? Should I specifically not?

What is your time line in the gym? Could it be that your doing too many different exercises? Doing extra sets? I found it no trouble at all to keep my time down when I was doing the Max OT stuff.

Maybe add a time stamp to your log so you can see where your time is going.

"Should I make an icon out of trunks? Should I specifically not?"

Hmmmmm, Trunks. More specific as to type of trunks as there are many definitions for the word.

I assume you're referring to workout trunks/such as wrestlers wear?

Sure. Go for it. Couldn't be any worse than a majority of other icons out there... and will most likely (by that same rationale) be better than most.

icon love. I totally snarfed my drink and the people I work with can't figure out why.

well thanks to you i just spent an hour surfing different exercise links and even got up and DID some of them!

2x10 overhead press (with a pair of 5lb weights lol)

five ass-to grass squats with aforementioned weights on shoulders.

RARRRR! FEAR ME!

now i'm getting back into wanting some kettlebells, but for now since funds are tight i will just do silly stuff like drag things down the hall on a sheet.
