The Magic Blog

Hi All,

I’ve decided to leave this site. I’m spending waaaay too much time on here when I should be working, and my productivity, as well as the quality of my work has suffered as a result. Also, the overabundance of ridiculously attractive people on here tends to serve as a distraction for me which can separate me from God when, in almost every other area of my life, I’ve been seeking to draw closer to Him.

I’ve made a lot of friends here, and I’ll miss you all. Hopefully, you guys will keep in touch though. Please hit me up on yahoo under the username "diznoofus" or send an email to that account anytime.

Take care and God bless!

Monday was chest day, and I was really short on time, so I did something I’ve never done before, a Tri-Set. My actual workout called for 4 exercises, bench, inclines, declines, and flyes. Instead, I did 4 tri-sets, using bench, flyes, and dips.

IT WAS AWESOME!

I really liked the increased intensity, and I couldn’t believe how sore I was the next day. In fact, even now, 4 days later, my chest is still fairly sore.

So I definitely want to include more super-sets and tri-sets in my workouts going forward, but I’m wondering how often I should do it. I don’t want to end up overtraining after all. So I’m asking all my BB friends for advice, since you’re all ridiculously intelligent, super attractive, and you great smelling most of the time.

I was kind of thinking that I could do this style of workout once per week, with a different bodypart each week. So if this week was chest, next week will be shoulders, and the week after that might be back. What do you guys think? Is this too often, or can I get away with doing 2 body parts per week, or even an entire week of supersets every other week?<strong />

Bonus story:
I was sitting on a bench yesterday evening, watching my 2 year old play on the playground. I was mostly just marvelling at how cute he is, and how much fun it is to watch him play. At the same time, my mind was on a sermon I’d caught a few minutes of earlier that day, the subject of which was sharing the Gospel with people. Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me. (Some people have conversations with God like this all the time, but for me it’s a rarity)

God: If I told you, that out of your three kids, only two would get to go to Heaven, and one would go to hell, and you got to pick which one went to hell, which one would you choose?
Me: (after spending a minute trying to decide which one I love the least) I couldn’t possibly decide that. I love them all, and couldn’t choose for any of them to go to hell.
God: Everybody on earth is My child. Every time you have the opportunity to lead somebody to me, or to share with somebody about me, and you don’t, you are making the same decision for one of my children that I asked you to make for your own just now.

It really hit me in that moment, as I looked at my son playing happily, how much God loves us, and how much it hurts him when he loses one of us.
