TDetroit’s ramblings and nonsense

take 2 10lbs weights (25 lbs if you are bigger, 5’s for the kids), clap them together in your palms.   Now you have to press with your palms to keep from dropping them. 

Here comes the hard part.  Start at your chest, and extend straight out.  Remember to press your palms together (or watch your toes).  Then bring back to chest.  Remember, no fingers, your are not allowed to hold on,  just press your palms ONLY!

To make it harder, extend away from your chest at angles up (that’s the easy one), or down (that’s the hard one). 

For those of your who love to bench, this simple workout will alert you to muscles in your chest that you didn’t even know you had.

The only prblem I can find with this excercise is that it is a 2 handed excercise, so the dominant hand does more work.  I am going to try tilting to the left or right to see if I can put more emphasis on the weaker side. 

Those of you living in the south don’t know what you are missing.  Beyond looking good naked, we work out so that we may be able to do things.  For the first time, I have shovelled the whole thing in one outing. 

The drive is 100 feet, plus a walk to the porch (30 feet), the porch, a walk around to the back of the house (50 feet), and a back patio (did it twice - once when it was still snowing, thenI realized how pointless it was, and went in to wait out the storm, came out and did it again - same amount of snow)

Great cardio and great for the arms. legs and core.  I urge everyone to move to MI and enjoy the snow shovelling workouts.  Plus, if all of you move here, you will create demand for land, and make my house worth more money - great for me.

My son’s band concert was cancelled, so I went to the gym instead.

Did 3 sessions of 3 min cardio, and after each, I did strength training.

 The first set was 3 min on that awkward machine (I have got to learn the name of it - it’s a cross between eliptical and stair climber).  Then Side lunges with 20 db’s, then assissted chin ups at -50, then front lunges with 20 lb db’s, then chin ups again.

Next was the hand bike (a lot of folks don’t like it - but I learned in PT how it loosens up the shoulders, neck and back)  Then inverted crunches on a swiss ball. (feet up on the ball, geet into pushup position, and roll feet in and crunch.  Then dead lifts with a spring, then t bar row.

 Finally, 3 min on rowing machine.  Then leg presses til I walked funny. then bench pressess.  Then declined situps.  Then pushups (with the half ball thingy - one hand up and one down then wswtich sides after every pushup) to fail on each of 2 sets.

 And steam room. 

… but I remember the topic is : Male Technique for Mind Blowing Sex.

If you recall, this rant came about from standing in the grocery store checkout and leafing throught the women’s mags and seeing the advice women give to each other re: "Mind Blowing Sex"  Apparently, women think that if you light a candle, the sex will be better.  I contend that lighting a candle will only cause the man to ask "Is the power out?"

So here we are!

Got a message from a bb.com guest who called me Dr Ruth.  I assure you all, I am not as wrinkly as the famed Doc.

So male technique.  It not so much a way of doing it, so much as a way of preparing for it.

To say the least, the joke about the 2 min man is a very old joke.  Peg Bundy always wanted sex, but Al was always trying to get out of it.  (Apparently on the 2 previous occasions, they ended up with Kelly and Bud - the dog was picked up at the shelter).  Peg also complained that on those 2occasions, Al was done before she started.

So what’s the point here?  For men there are pretty much two motions to work with - In and Out.  Yes, you can add the twist, or the grind, but at the end of the day, there are just two motions.  The ball is not really in our court as for as motion and/or flexibility.

Truly, for men, to provide better sex, it is not the motion of the boat, but the time afloat that counts.  This is not a time to put on your best Monday Night Football Couch Potato pose and wait for something to happen.  (that would be bad sex for those of you who are confused.)

A mans job here is to provide the physical endurance.  If you recall from an earlier rant on the subject, I proclaimed that women have been sold a bad bill of goods on sex.  They seam to belive that sex is about a man getting off, so they forgo their own pleasure in favor of him getting there.  This just ups the ante.  It is insulting for a man to not be able to provide an orgasm for a woman.  Then to top it off, women refuse to have orgasms.  So now it is a contest.  Can the man’s back muscles last long enough to pleasure the woman, or will the woman wait him out.

This is crummy, but it is what it is.  So, how does a man provide better sex?  Be prepared!  You will be in this for awhile dude.  If you think she is stubborn at the furniture store when you are trying to buy a kitchen table, wait til you try to convince her to fire off an orgasm, because you are tired and want to finish and go to sleep.  No way.  Her mother taught her the sex is about you, so you go first.

Positions is the key.  When you get tired one way, just change the muscle group you are using.  Think of it like being at the gym.  Simply work away from the last muscle group you used.  Going at it this way, you can go for hours, she’ll think you are the man of seflf control.

However, how do you go for hours without going off?  Victoria’s Secret Catalogue!  That’s right.  Think about the catalogue.  Since it is not real porn, you won’t get too excited.  This will keep your mind off the current task, so you won’t go off too fast, but it is enough of a stimulation in and of itself to keep you ready to go off.  Ergo, she does not win the contest, becuase you can do this all day. 

You can do this guys.  Don’t let them win.  They cannot produce the lubrication to outlast us if we all work this method.  They will have to back down, or be hurt (remember it doesn’t hurt us).  

So to review, it is not the motion of the boat that makes for great technique (though the twist and the grind do help), but the time afloat that matters.  Change postions often, be rested beforehand or drink a cup of joe, and don’t give in, after she goes off, then you can yell "fire" and rollover - you’ve won!

Today, about 45 min ago, Zeppelin took the stage. 

I am listening to wcsx in Detroit.  With everysong, Ken Calvert gets a text from JJ and Lynn to tell him what the song is. 

In 15 min, Ken will begin a replay of the concert.  Can’t wait.

I went to the gym on Tuesday.  On the way there, I decided I was going to lift and then do cardio for 3 min, them lift, then cardio for 3 min, repeat until they call an ambualnce.

When I came up the stairs, I made another decision to get my BF% tested.  So I went over to a trainer and asked for a test.  They hate this.  I am not a client, just a gym junkee, and I want a BF% test.  It’s like I know stuff, but they have to prove they know more.  And yest they do, but since I will never compete, I don’t need to know as much as they do, and I don’t need the use of their knowledge.  He gave the sales pitch anyway.

He noticed that I had gained weight from 155 to 175, and it calculated out to 18 punds of muscle gain.  New BF% was 12.9%.  So he then asks me how I am working out.  I said splits to much much, because they required too much time in the gym, so I switched to 2x per week total body.  He offered a sample of what he is doing with his clients.

 guess what, 3 min of cardio, 2 strenght movements x 2, 3 min cardio 2 strength movements x2, etc etc etc etc (is that 6 times?)  Wow, same as my idea.  Is his better? Yes.  Do I need better? Nope, not going to compete.

So I am on track, prob won’t make the 180 for end of December, but I made the bench press goal of bodyweight already, and the abs are looking a lot closer to ripped.  Still a chance for end of Dec.  25 days to go.  May have to move the goal to the 23rd however, the food beyond that point is going to be difficult to deal with.

Geesh, I didn’t know there were that many people interested in nonsense.

OK, I’ll update the random nonsense coming off the top of my head on a regular basis from now on.  lol

I suppose that when I die, someone will cut open my skull to see what was really going on in there.  Let me save you the trouble, it’s 3 drunken mice on squeaky treadmills, listening to Rush Limbaugh and doing financial calculations.  Not really the stuff of genius.

So anyway, I promise to make time to continually update.  And Maddi, I promise to finish the rant on female magazine sex advice.
