No, but I did just stay in a Holiday Inn Express!
I’m not a road scholar, but I am staying in a Holiday Inn Express.
I’m not a pilot, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I’m not a tattoo artist, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I’m not a burrito shop owner, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
I’m not a professional bodybuilder, but I am staying in a Holiday Inn Express.
And of course I’m at Starbucks, I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night…..
So, I’m staying in a Holiday Inn Express, and as a result, am relegated to utilizing an old school Universal machine for my workouts this week. Always one to shake it up and give my greatest efforts in an attempt to be unpredictable, I am conducting an old school experiment. Five nights, five sessions of the exact same workout: unusual results?
The workout:
20 sets of Universal bench
20 sets of pull-downs (wide and narrow underhand grip)
20 minutes stair mill
That’s it, and here we are after night number two, and I must say, beyond the tremendous pump I walk out of the teeny gym with, I am actually sore. We’ll see how things are after night number five.
Ya know, at the end of the day, I may be compiling more atrophy than hypertrophy, but let’s just face it, I will never know for sure unless I just do it.
In the spirit of all pioneer’s before me: I officially shake things up, just for the sake of shaking things up…..Stay tuned for results….
Parting shot: Quit wondering: make a decision, and remove all doubt.

"Quit wondering: make a decision, and remove all doubt."
Reminds of the movie…PATTON. Where George C Scott kicks that fella in the a$$ on the floor and asks him what he is doing and he replies Sleeping! and G.S. Scott(Patton) tells him to go back to what he is doing because he seems to be the only SOB in the place that knows what he is doing!….LOL

Definitely a more proper-sounding quote than the "sh!t or get off the pot!"

Why did you have to mention Starbucks??? Now I am in the mood for a Frappicinno! Vanilla to be exact!

I guess getting a pass at a nearby gym was out of the question?

You are truly a trendsetter sir!!

last time I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express,the glass was busted out of the window, there was god poop on the floor, urine stains in the bed, and a big hole in the drywall. I got to stay for free….in a different room! LOL

Ummm… I must have missed something. I’m guessing there is some sort of commercial that talks about "But I did just stay in a Holiday Inn Express". LOL. I think I must need to watch more T.V!
Sounds like you still made some lemonade out of lemons, despite their less than stellar facilities!

They say the definition of madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result…

I’m with JJanet in the outsider club. I’m going to have to purchase a TV.
Wait! I can GOOGLE IT!

Scott, awesome Universal mega-set routine. Ever hear of Steve Michalik and his intensity or insanity workouts?
mmeyer41, god poop? D’OH!
March 30, 2008 at 8:59 pm

March 30, 2008 at 11:45 pm
LOL…I meant dog poop! My bad. Right now I am praying for forgiveness!!
April 4, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Yes! I am late!!! HAHAHA! god poop! I’m surprised they even had a Stair Mill…that’s awesome!

I actually love the Holiday Inn Express! Good breakfasts and nice big blankies and pillows! Never checked out their gym as I only stay there when I am clubbing. lol Not good to workout with a hangover. But if it’s anything like the usual gamut of hotel "gyms"…I most definitely get your point! Stayed at a hotel last weekend…actually a nice one. Their "gym" was a small glass room the size of a closet with one treadmill and one bike. At least you got a bench!
