I am so sick of Fitworks. I guess I will join another gym. I just hate to pay for 2 separate memberships. I guess I will fight with Fitworks after I join the other gym. Anyone in the Cincinnati area thinking of joining Fitworks think real hard before you join this gym. Ask around and see how they are with customer service. The Forest Park branch NEVER opens on time and the manager is never around to talk to him. I have talked with the district manager and got the "well I wish I could tell you this won’t happen again but you know how that goes." I wish there was a 24hr gym near me. It is so frustrating to go to bed early so I can get up at 4am and then sit in a parking lot. Now I will spend the next few days wondering if I should get up and go sit in the parking lot or just say screw it and sleep in. If I sleep in I end up having a bad day because I didn’t get to workout and if I get up and go sit in the parking lot then turn around and come home I still have a bad day.

I guess it’s time to make some phone calls.

They SUCK. Right after my 1st shoulder press set I was re-racking the weights and BAM!!! It hit me. I have had my share of them and I have learned to ride it out without medication but damn it sure is hard. I always try and get my mind on something else because if you think about what you are feeling it gets worse.

I am not sure why I started having them but I remember the 1st time it happened. I thought I was having a heart attack that lasted for about an hour.

Anyway after my attack this morning I walked around the bench I was using and up and down past a couple of machines thinking about work and what I was going to do when I got home. Then I grabbed a couple of dumbbells and proceeded with Front Two-Dumbbell Raises and then another set of Shoulder Presses. After that it was over and the rest of the workout went OK, although I didn’t push myself too hard for the rest of the workout. 

I hope no one has to go through a panic attack but if you are one who has them I know how you feel. 

Have a great day and Happy Lifting

Well Sunday I decided to shave my head again. I wanted to get that out of the way before going outside to do yard work. Somehow I thought it would be a good idea to put on some indoor / outdoor Extreme Accelerator Tanning Lotion with Bronzer. What a dumba$$ idea. After I finished the yard work we went swimming in neighbor’s pool.
They had invited us over while they were out of town. Well actually we have a key to the gate and can us the pool anytime but we always wait to be invited. Anyway we didn’t get to do much swimming. No one has been in the pool since last year and it was a little dirty. So we spent the next 2 1/2 hours cleaning and swimming trying to make it fun LOL. I figure it’s the least we could do for letting us the pool. 

That night the burn started to set in and set in and set in. Holy crap the pain!!!! I haven’t had a sunburn this bad since I was a teen. Well come 4am Monday morning I was up and getting ready for the gym. Took my supps and was standing at the back door in a daze. I didn’t get much sleep Sunday night and the thought of putting that bar across my shoulders or having my back touch anything was just too much. Even after taking Super Pump 250 I was still in a daze and way too tired to hit the gym. So it was back to bed for me. 

This morning was a little better but I still didn’t get much sleep. Tonight I have something better to put on my back and shoulders so tomorrow I should be at the gym at 5am sharp. I may just have to force myself. 

I hope everyone has a great day and Happy Lifting. 

So I get home form the gym this morning at my usual 6:00am and my girlfriend is all freaked out. She’s telling me about how the shelves on the wall were rattling and the cake pans on the fridge were shaking. Going on and on about how the cats were all freaked out as well and she scoped out the basement and outside but found nothing. She almost called me home from the gym because she was scared. So I go around and check things out but I also found nothing.

As I am sitting there eating my breakfast and watching the morning news, she is still talking about it and I am trying to figure out what the hell it could have been. I told her it could have been an earthquake but she just giggled and said "Yeah Right". Then the commercial ended and the news came back on. 

(CINCINNATI) –  "An earthquake shook tri-state residents out of bed early Friday morning.  So far no damage has been reported in our area. 

The 5.4 quake was centered just north of Evansville in West Salem, Illinois.

Reports of shaking are coming in from around the area"

Well at least I know what the panic was all about now.
Did anyone else from here feel it?

Have a great weekend…
