The not too serious get fit thread

[Monster Dave]

^LOL - oh the glorious feel good pain!! I bet you're sleeping awesome though!  

I know how you feel - I had to take yesterday off to rest; though I did hit a mark Wednesday that I hadn't hit in a while on the Peck-Deck (did 4 reps at 300lbs).

Meant to post up that I watched a really interesting documentary last night (Netflix) that some of you might really find of interest:



It's all about steroid use and the real realities of how much they are used - both for good (medicinal) and arguably bad (sports), how in many ways they do or don't affect people's lives, and the extraordinary distances that people have gone to hide the fact that they employed them as performance enhancers.

I found it to be really well done and certainly worth watching.

It's actually one of the best balanced and informative pieces on steroid useage that Iv'e ever seen. 99% of most media reports on steroids are so horribly researched and presented they are painful to watch or read. Usually I'm simply embarrased for those doing the reporting.

However, this doc. presents the bad and good of steroid use without judgement........definitely a fascinating presentation.

I learned that from cycling. It's not only water that your body needs! Eat a bananna or two - even better (and what I love the most) are the small cans of V8 100% vegitable juice.

On an interesting side note regarding Bigger Stronger Faster, Lyle Alzado was a close family friend for many years. Though I was very young then, the impact that his acknowledgement of steroid use combined with a terminal brain tumor, left an indelible mark on my life. My mom always told me that (off the field) he was a good, honest, and sincere man. It's no wonder his situation made such an impact on people.

Two glorious days of skiing in the books.

yup...................some magnesium as well

And as everybody knows, the best source of potassium and magnesium is booze.    You don't need much to make a difference, but since the bottle will go bad once you open it, it's best to just finish the whole thing.

Saw this last year, very informative!

Did my first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class.  As a Judoka/wrestler, I wanted to scramble and work my stand up game but I decided to play the game and explore the newaza (ground technique) aspect of the sport since Judo has all but killed it. 

I did get schooled by a 14 year old who ways 120 lbs, and some big chick who sat on my chest.....

We'll at least you lived to tell about it!!

I went out yesterday on a training ride on my bicycle instead of taking the day off for rest and felt pretty tired but had a good time riding (Mon-Wed I worked-out at the gym). I was enjoying the nice weather and low winds until I got stung by a bee.  

I was at a stop light waiting for the light to change, put my hands on the grips when the light was about to change and when I closed my grip on the bars... ...yeouch - right in the finger!!! Fortunately, it wasn't too bad but I decided to call it a day anyway since I had a nasty reaction the last time I was stung by some hornets (3x in the same day - apparently when you're landscaping and cutting the grass, hornets don't like it when you run over their in ground nest....really pisses them off)!!

Ultimately, I needed the rest anyway. I was passed out and sound asleep by 7:30pm last night!!
