Sweathog? :-)
Life is way more fun if you can laugh at yourself. So…….the following: Major sweat puddles in spin class this morning, as usual. I mentioned awhile back that I’m a Sweathog in spin class, and that I’d be Epstein. For you younger bodyspacers, that’s a reference to a character in the 70’s show Welcome Back Kotter. So I found a pic of Epstein, and put a couple of my own 70’s pics up for comparison. I could have been on that show. Or at least Robert Hegyes’ stunt double. Here’s the show’s theme song for nostalgia, for you oldies.

WORKOUT THIS MORNING — BACK:
(6-10 reps, 45-60 sec’s rest)
– Pullups (21, 11, 9, 8, 15, 8, 7), sets alternated w/ bentover BB rows
(7 sets ea. Deep & deliberate on pullups to focus on lats. Short break between sets 4 & 5 as I chatted with someone for a few min’s)
– Cable rows, sets alt w/ underhand grip cable pulldowns (4 sets ea)
CARDIO: Spin class. Brad The Instructor returns……Brad The Beast. He’s doing the Marine Corps Marathon in DC this coming Saturday.
Just getting to the gym IS a successful workout! :D

I met Epstein when he was a adjunct professor at my college. I worked in payroll (to earn gas and party money) and handed him his paycheck when he stopped by to pick it up. He’s a nice guy.
I saw him again in the auditorium when we went to see a comedy act. He sat in front of me and a Freshman spotted him and said, "HEY! There’s Horschak!!" Epstein’s friend turned to him and said, "He played Epstein."

That’s funny hearing that song again!!
When you do pull ups, I guess you really do pull ups, eh? Have fun recovering!!! I’m glad you had a great workout this morning. I’m actually going into work this morning. My boss that had brain surgery is back at it. We only go for 4 hours, but its great to have him back!

Awesome workout. you are the Mr. Miagi of pullups.

Good job on those pullups - that’s pretty amazing. I consider myself a bit of a sweathog too, but one of my workout partners is a complete waterbag. After working out just a few minutes, he has a full body sweat going, after 10, he’s leaving puddles. It’s pretty funny. Just make sure you’re drinking enough water to make up for it…

You are a machine, my man!

That’s pretty sick on the pull-ups.
Couldn’t you do just one more to make it an even 80? 
If you want to work the lats more, go wide grip on the pull ups.

Well Don, those WERE wide grip.
Pullups are the only exercise I believe I’m relatively strong in. The rest, not so much. But I’m only competing with me.

Great job on those pull-ups! I’m getting very jealous!
October 21, 2009 at 7:57 am
One day i’ll get that ONE un-assisted pull-up. Good job Al

How could you Leanne?! Ditch the ‘fro for a super duper skinny John Travolta?
October 21, 2009 at 10:21 am
You ARE STRONG on those pullups Al. Setting the mark high, keep it up. I had the fro going as a fresh and soph in high school also, still gives the kids something to laugh about.

"welcome back kotter" no idea what that is mate!
October 21, 2009 at 12:07 pm
I used to sing that theme song at the top of my lungs when the show came on! Gee whiz you sure can do pullups!! Very nice!
October 21, 2009 at 12:41 pm
