We really need a serious "i'm already make the beast with two backsing fit thread" because I would be the first one to post in it.

I was such a beast on the bike tonight, I swear my cadence was rippin' it even with a headwind.
There was one nasty steep at about a 12% grade. I figured it would take me about a minute at 60-70rpm
dropped in the 21-11 but I hammered on the beaters for the attack on the massive freeking mountain and
to be rid of all the cycling poseurs, my gawd - what is WRONG with them?  Can't they go ride in the park?!    


It was a short, quick spin - about 52 miles, 37 minutes - after a light day at work including the begging of
the veep to analyze a quantum physics formula that no one else could figure.  
People - just let me do my job!  Another:  

So like I'm rolling out for an o'dark thirty brick tomorrow morning before work - like 2,500 meters and a short 10k.  

Gonna go juice up now and micro analyze the ride deets.

word.

Holy Sh!t!!! I just about choked on my pasta! 

You're awesome!   

LOL  ^^

Stella's going to hell on a bicycle. 

That I am.....  

With a hand-basket.
Wearing my <fire retardant> lid.

FWIW:

It's absolutely ridiculous that those of us who work so hard to get in shape and are eager to share our accomplishments are mocked like this. You (and you all know who you are) should be ashamed of yourselves - 1 for being out of shape and are only able to whine about it, and 2, for not being big enough to be able to just keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything nice to say.

Frankly, I'm surprised that some of you can afford the time to take your hands out from the bag of chips long enough to post up your negative remarks.


There are quite a few people on the DMF who are passionate about fitness but don't post because of the 'anti-fitness' sentiment that so ironically flows through this thread...


The really sad part is that the few of us who post about our fitness routines aren't the reason that this thread suffers - you're doing it to yourselves - the negative remarks in this thread are what hurt motivation - they encourage the exact opposite of what this thread was supposed to be all about. Judging people for getting fit brings down the entire house of cards....no matter how indirect comments may be.

I opted to take the stairs instead of the escalators at Houston Intercontinental today.  Twice. 

Then I walked up 177 stairs in a lighthouse here in Floriduh.

Followed by some 12oz curls (recovery in a can, as I like to call it).

P.S. we need a "workout/sweaty" smiley.

STELLA FTW

Self explanatory.   I'm not ashamed of jack shit.

So, remember when the thread title had to be changed to "not too serious" Dave?

Remember why?

I'm not going to search through all the pages, but I'll refer you to the first post:
http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=14723.msg255081#msg255081

That was supposed to be the essence of this thread. Us average Joes who may have slipped a little.  We were poking a little fun, you took it way too seriously and your reactionary post is appalling. 

I was a competitive gymnast and triathlete. I trained every day for at least 4-6 hours a day.  I was 174lbs. @ 3% body fat.  Injuries ended my career, so I started my own business.  When you leave for work at 6am and get home after 10pm, there is little time for exercise.  Your accusations are gross.

I have since sold my business, started a teaching job, and am ready to get back into the swing of things.  That's what this thread was supposed to be about.

You are in great shape and strive to be better. That's admirable. It really is.  I used to be that guy. I know the dedication it takes. 

But once again.  This is the not too serious get fit thread. 

Start your own "Monster Dave's get seriously fit" thread.  I'm sure there are lots of folks here that would love it.  Seriously.


Regards,
 

Hi

My name is Jacob

I'm a fireman and I drive an ambulance (this should mean I am god-like in my physique)

I'm 5'9" and weigh in at 260lbs (ish)

not so long ago (ok maybe closer to a decade now)

all but 12% of that was muscle (my reality is all that matters)

today we will call it 80/20 (remember...my reality)

I drink too much

and

I like chips ( I don't really but I do love Pepsi and make the beast with two backs me I like a danish with my coffee)

Tomorrow I come off of light duty and back into the gym I go

I have one goal in mind right now

me and this mothermake the beast with two backser



are going to go head to head until I can do

• 40 flights



• in 30 minutes



• full bunker gear



• on air

yay

...and Dave...

I'll eat all the chips I want and not you or anyone else will make me feel guilty about it.

Get over yourself.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Sorry if my post offended.  Was just poking fun at all the new fitness-type threads that have popped up or resurfaced.  I only chose the sport of cycling because that's what I know, what I do (well, except for this past Saturday - the second time in the last dozen years when I just couldn't breathe or pedal).


Cheers!

What an arrogant, judgemental load of shite 
No one's judging you "for getting fit," but if that's the narrative you like to hear in your head, go with it
