I did what I have refrained from doing for nearly 2 years now. And its weird cause it seemed like a different outside force made me do it, kinda like a push. Like in the stride commercial when the guy gets kicked in the back by that german dancer, forcing the gum to fly out. I corrected 2 guys in the gym on close grip cable pulls.
Normally I would just shake my head and keep walking, but again, my mouth just opened and I said ‘thats too much weight for you.’ I didn’t even take my earplugs out or turn off the music until they questioned my comment. I went to explain that if they’re barely bringing the handles close to the body and they’re having to use so much momentum with their legs to even pull the damn thing, they might as well consider it a leg exercise and not a back exercise. Then told them about the possibility of injury and dangers because of them using such heavy weights. I Lowered their weight by almost 70lbs before they were able to perform 1 correct rep, one plate at a time.
Is this gonna be a continuous thing for me now? God I hope not. I dont want to be ‘that guy’ cause sh*t, Im not even a CPT yet.
In other news, I get TIRED of seeing the SAME DAMN PEOPLE come into the gym, jump on the treadmill/oliptical/stairmaster, do something light for 20-30 minutes, then leave the gym. 2 months I’ve been at the gym, and they have not shown signs of any improvement what so ever. I feel like going up to the machine and pressing ‘Stop’ and telling them ‘GO UPSTAIRS AND LIFT SOMETHING.’ Is that bad? haha, I want to give them some pointers on how doing the same thing will not produce results in the manner that they’re doing it. At least RUN on the treadmill or something!
Anyway, thats my grip. Im gonna go push my motorcycle up hill…

So yesterday, Im on my way to work. JUST as I take the exit on the highway, my bike runs out of GAS. Now, I am only approximately 800-1000 meters away from work. Best part? Its up hill. Even better? Im on my bike.
Now, I usually get there with enough time to change into my uniform, strike up a quick chat with the guy or gal Im relieving, and begin my shift. Now I know Im gonna be late, but now I noticed I didnt bring my phone! Now this makes things better cause its 10:50pm and everything is closed. Yay for me.
So I did the only thing I could do. I started pushing. No way Im just gonna abandon my bike in an empty parking lot. After about 10 minutes of pushing, I see blockbuster. I stop the bike, and walk in. I called the guy and said Im gonna be late so he wouldn’t get mad. Then I went back outside and started pushing again. Then, EVEN in 50 degrees weather, I got HOT. I took off my jacket and pushed again. I pushed for maybe 25 minutes, all uphill. I got tired, sore, but was feeling the great workout.
Thankfully, there was an HEB gas station I’ve never noticed just before my turn, so I went in there and got gas. Then I hopped on my bike and rode for 3 minute and got to work.
Try pushing a 650lb bike uphill for an AMAZING workout you’ll never forget!
HAPPY HALLOWEENIE THE POOH!

Amusing, embarrassing, and possibly lost a shot at a cute girl. Let me being with the fact that I do NOT have a problem with homosexuality. Nothing against them, they are people just like everyone else and I treat them as such. In some cases, some of my cooler friends are gay.
The following takes place at work in the gym…
3:00am- I go to rub my left ear cause thats just something I do as a habit. No particular reason, just like to play with my earring…only this time it wasn’t there! I check my right ear, SH*T, the right earring IS THERE! I switch the earring to the left ear immediately. HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN LIKE THIS!
(going back in time to the previous night)
10:00pm- I show up to the gym an hour early to squeeze in a HIIT workout before my shift begins at 11:00pm. I say hello to the new girl at the desk and move my way to the locker room.
10:15pm-Im doing my workout, rotating from jump rope to doing pushups on that half ball thingy to doing lunges with a plate overhead. Im working it hardcore! This one asian guy moves his working out a little further from me. Good, more space for ME.
10:50pm-Get up to the front desk n clock in. Start talkin to the new girl (cute as hell), trying to get to know her a little better. With about less than 5 minutes of interaction, she leaves. Try to get to know her some more next time.
11:20ish pm-asian guy leaves, barely says good bye.
11:30pm-3:00am-mixed emotions from people. I would like to consider this normal, but after discovering the missing earring, I could understand it better. Either some people felt uncomfortable or something.
But in the end, DAMN! I wonder how many people took that damn right earring seriously. And that girl, ****! I laughed, of course, but then it got me thinkin of all this stuff.
Again, nothing against homosexuality, but thats not me. And now there may be some people that believe that, including that cute girl. So what do I do now? Continue about my business, look back at this and chuckle. Also, check damn earrings before I go to work!

That’s my saying that I used more in the beginning of the year to just get my ass in the gym and do the damn thing. And the results in May were the best I’ve ever had in my life. I had the best abs, the tightest chest, the biggest arms, most detailed quads in my life. As cocky as I’ll sound: I looked GOOD. That was my biggest accomplishment in fitness so far.
Since then, the lovely stressors of life took over. Change of location, change of careers, change of life in general (and Im STILL happy to have left the damn service). But since, I’ve noticed, fitness wise, that my body has changed as well and not for the better. Im finding it more and more difficult to get close to the body I had in May. I saw another picture where Im not posing and my arms were big! (compared to what to what I always had and what they are now…)
Even though I work at a gym, I try to remain professional and not work out while on duty. Afterward, Im so sleepy that I just want to get home and sleep. Then, in the whole mess in trying to find another job to keep up with the bills, cleaning my place, and finding damn documents for the military to support my disability claim and then screw up my sleeping schedule to attend school and finally still wanting to perform at musician’s open mic nights…damn.
And nutrition wise, when I work, I tend to eat a lot of rice and beans. Figure that’ll give me one of the best combination of fat, carbs and protein along with essential vitamins and minerals. Plus I drink a lot of water. But on my off days, Im so tired of eating the same thing I break the habit and eat junk, mainly because it is available, but also because I need to keep moving to do get to school, open mic, veteran’s affairs…
And lastly, yeah, all the political bullsh*t going on about the swine flu, Copenhagen treaty, and even more troops being sent off to fight a pointless war is robbing a lot of my attention. Sorry, I know a lot of people think this is all just meaning less conspiracies and the people that talk about it are loony. But when sh*t does hit the fan, and we begin to pay for CO2 that we produce by any means, and its going to scratch the heads of the common people, and fill the rich with even more money that they will be able to do anything they want. And if you don’t believe this, listen to our ‘fearless’ president say it through his own mouth. ‘Force’ and ‘that will cost money’ are used.

Sorry, but this is whats going on in my head. I want to get physically prepared. I want to have the body I had in May. But I do need more legal tender notes to pay bills and a place to live. Food to eat. I wish I could get that May body back, but its going to be a true challenge this time. Unless I completely dedicate my full time to fitness, I dont know if I can make it possible.
In good news, I am finally taking the first step in becoming a boot camp instructor. I think this will help me out a lot, but thats if they decide to hire me.
