I worked out for an hour today because my body is burnt enough and I have stuff to do. I ten ten squats of 135 on the smith machine and then six with 225 because that’s what I saw this girl on my mp4 do.  I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do it but it wasn’t that bad. It’s way easier on the smith machine. Maybe if I do it enough on the smith machine I’ll be able to do it for real. I’ll go for ten next time and see if I can do 20 soon. These are full squats I’m talking about. I love full squats. I should remember to do them every time I’m in the gym.  I’m just starting out with them. Then I did 20 leg presses with six plates and some arm stuff from the mp4 and did a couple arm nautilaus drop sets and that was my hour.

I did good today. I went in for an hour with Windham and did three sets of 30 leg presses with six plates going all the way down. I saw this tall blond trainer doing the ones next to me with four plates and two 25s and then went to do box jumps right next to me and goes "Don’t put your knees together, put them shoulder width and dig your heels in," and I’m like, "Thanks".   I think I did a couple set of 20 squats with 135. I really like full squats. I can’t beleive I’ve never done them before. I can’tg remember what else I  did.

 I came back later in the day and forgot to see when I arrived but was there a long time. I did a bunch of girls stuff today that was easy. I finished with Wendy Lindquist who had some interesting excersizes I’mve never done before. Before that I did all these super sets for my stomach. I should do my stomach more. It’s not so bad after you start. It’s actually quite enjoyable. My muscles haven’t come in yet and I still have a spare tire. I weight 183 so I’ve stopped gaining weight. Maybe because I’m starting to lose fat, hopefully.

Psyched to go in tomorrow!

I went into the gym with Windham today and had an hour to do the Crossfit excersize the Linda I think it’s called.  Nicole deadlifted ten reps of 185, ten squat clean with 95, ten bench with 120 and then nine down to one. I made it to four before I ran out of time. I wasted time getting started by eating and then had to change the weights because it was too busy to hog it all. I’ll come back at night and do it right. I love this excersize though! I’m very interested in seeing how much I can beat Nicole by.  That would be wild if she ends up beating me!   I also did a set of that guys sit up challenge but it may not be valid because I think I accidentally touched my legs.

I didn’t go back today though because I’m feeling behind with the UKT. I bought an IPIRB today and called about a sat phone. I think I’ll get it tomorrow for $1500 including the solar panels. I painted my boat and outriggers with black stripes today and will finish tomorrow. I have three grand now and I want to blow it all on all the stuff I don’t have yet and get the shopping phase out of the way. I like spending all my money at once anyways.

 Barbie Barbell made friends with me on this site today! That’s the first time a girl has made friends with m. I must have sent her a message before. Maybe she’ll try one of my challenges. ha.

I got up this morning feeling ill and exhausted so I went back to bed until like three and ordered an $800 desalinator and got like $420 of protein powder, vegetable soup and fish oil pills. Then I went to the gym for five hours, although it didn’t seem that long. I think I was futsying around with my videos a lot today. This big dude named David who works there came up to me and was all, "Why do you lift with girls, you should lift the man weights". And I was thinking like yeah maybe. Although I was beaten by two chicks today. First Nicole Bass benched on the vertical bench machine like ten reps with 135 then like ten with 185 and then eight with 225 and then four at 285. I kept up with her until the end where I could only do one at 285. I’ll have to practice that one when I’m fresh. Then she did ten military press with the smith machine with 185 and then another ten and I could only do the first ten.  Her strength is definitely within my grasp if I keep lifting. Maybe like a month more, if I keep lifting. I have to get caught up on the UKT again some time soon. Then I did some more girls and then Sheila Burgess who did all these weird tempo (slow movement) excersizes and then closed handed bench presses with 135 lbs 6 reps and then 6 reps with 185. I tried the 185 but it pegged to my chest and this big black dude ran up to me and was like "oh I’ll help you out with that" and I was all, "I’m good! I’m good! I’m good!" and he was like "oh you’re doing some kind of excesize like that". And then I realized that it would have been easier to let him take the bar but I had already decided to help myself and he startled me. I felt kind of embarrassed about snapping at him and after I put it back on I gave him the thumbs up and he gave me one". I did normal bench presses instead while sheila did 2 sets of six at 135 and two at 185 closed handed. Then we moved to the half squats and she did a ten at 135 and then ten at 185 and then ten at 225 and then two sets of ten at 285. I picked up the 285 but didn’t feel like I could squat it so I skipped her two sets there and then did her tempo leg presses with four plates where you take ten seconds to go down and five to go up four times. She did two sets of those and I felt like I could beat her at those, although I sat out on her two sets of squating. I should have just done it with 225. I need to do more squating. I forgot to do the full squats today.

 I ran for a little, one mile. I had a rough time maybe because I had been squating or maybe because I was feeling under the weather all day.

 Maybe I’ll take the day off tomorrow to get caught up on kayak stuff. I’ll go in late at night instead.

I went into the gym today and did ten reps with 225 squat to a couple inches above the safety bar line. About as good as that 17 year old girl, although I think she was lying about the weight because of another video I saw her do and claiming a different weight for the plates but whatever I like to pretend she’s telling the truth because if she is she’s ****ing strong. After that I did ten reps of full squats at 135. I like full squats. I’ll start doing them every time starting out with 135 at like 20 reps.  I need to make sure to take it easy with the squats in the beginning though because my lower lumbar feels totally confused and I don’t want to hurt myself. I did some more squats with 185 but that was about it because I felt totally lethargic and my arms felt pumped up all day so I figured it would be smart to not do too much today.

 Hopefully tomorrow I’ll feel good. I’ll eat a lot tonight. I don’t really care about my belly anymore.

I went into the gym today for a few minutes and did 25 reps of leg presses with 10 plates but I didn’t go down all the way. I’ll have another look at that 49 year old lady’s effort where she did 20 reps and see if I went down as far as she did. I wish these chicks who do the leg presses went down all the way so it’s clearer who is strongest. I think at the end of the day I’m stronger these weight lifter girls in high rep leg presses. Not the case for all the way down squating though because of my un limber calves. I did ten reps at 225 squating today because I saw this 17 year old basketball girl do them. I’ll see if I went down as far as she did. I didn’t go to horizontal thigh but I don’t think she did either. I’ll try that soon enough once my body gets a little more used to the squating. I did squat 185 ten reps going to horizontal today though. That wasn’t so rough.  Then I tried this crossfit workout and then this other one where nicole does the Linda where you do 1.5 your bodyweight so she did 185 dead 10x then 9 and on down. Right after the dead you do that squat clean thing with 115 lbs and bench with 120. I did the first set. I’ll try it and see how much I can beat her by. she took like 25 minutes or something. I couldn’t come close to doing what she does pound for pound though because I outweigh her by 50 pounds. Maybe I’ll see if I can do it with more weight later.

 Then Windham came and so I left. That’s good though because I think any more lifting today would be destructive. I was sweating like a pig and having trouble cleaning or half military or whatever it’s called with 135 lbs 7x and even benching 125 lbs 10x.   I was totally beat yesterday but went out and got drunk anyway. I wanted to see what 6th street looked like. To my amazement a bunch of blocks were closed to traffic and were packed with people. The whole street was lined with packed bars playing dance music. I went in and had a beer and went into the other one. I was in one bar and this hot girl starts dancing all funky right in front of me and then this dude rammed into me with another dude in a headlock so I grabbed him and told him to let go and he looked at me and goes, "step the **** back", and looked sober so I let him go and he proceeded to through the guy out. I asked the dude next to me if he was the bouncer and he said "bar tender" and so I got embarrassed and finished my beer in the corner and then went into this black club where there were three girls doing the doggy style dance with each other and I saw this dude walk past me and jiggle his head back and forth to the beat and this other little guy dancing all funky with his big gold chain in front. Black people are funny.

I went into this other bar on the corner that had a cool dance place on the corner and plenty of space until they all closed at two. That would be fun to go down there and dance at that place if it isn’t too crowded, but not drink. I’m wasted again today because of that.

I hope I’ll be fresh tomorrow.

After I worked out for three hours yesterday I went back at midnight for another hour or so. I woke up today totally shot so I decided not to work out today. We went to soak in the Jacuzzi for a half hour though. When I went back the second time yesterday I did a lady on youtube’s routine. I think Debra. She did six plates and two 25 lbs on the leg press 25 times going all the way down so I did it 30. I’ll watch her again though and see if she went down farther than me. I’m looking forward to doing squats next time I go to the gym. I haven’t really explored the squats yet.

I worked out for three hours today. I was going to go for five but my earphones got sweaty and started working with one ear and it drove me crazy so I left. I thought they were broken but they just got sweaty. I’ll just bring back up earphones and switch them out when the first ones get sweat logged. I’ll also try to dry them and my ears out and see if that works. I did a squat drop set I saw this little 16 year old girl do on youtube. She does 10 reps with ten plates and then 21 reps with 8 plates and then 20 reps with 6 plates and then 10 reps with 8 plates and ten more with ten plates all in a row. I had to stop to switch the plates but I made up for it by going all the way down and she didn’t. Still I’m not sure if I’m as strong as that little tyke. Sexy! Next time I’ll see if I can do 20 reps with ten plates which is what this 49 year old woman does on youtube. I ran through a few girls today but not as many as I would  have if my godam earphones didn’t blow on me. I ran a mile and a half today. I stopped when my calf started to get sore. I pulled it a little on the leg presses today. I’ll try and go for two miles tomorrow and then four and then hopefully I’ll be able to run regularly again. I guess I’m just getting too heavy for my calves to handle running. I’m up to 185 but naked now. My belly fat is still there but whatever. It’s cool to get heavier and stronger. Can’t wait for tomorrow!

I worked out for four hours today. I did some calf pumping and I think in a week or so I’ll try and start running again. I really want to run because I want to burn my belly fat away. I’m risking overtraining my arms and shoulders again because that’s what the girls do so much of. I showed a video of Melissa Dettwiller curling 80 lbs dumbells to a couple guys at the gym today. This Hispanic dude said he got a "chubby" and this huge black dude was like, "Man dat dus ain’t lady like, I don’t like it". She was totally curling it too. I can’t believe it. I haven’t tried it fresh yet but I know I can’t do it. She’s way stronger and she’s not even that big. This other huge chick pressed 100 lbs dumbells five times yesterday and I tried it and couldn’t get close. I will try it fresh pretty soon but I know I can’t do it. That will be one of my goals. I’m still neglecting my legs because I’m running out of time and energy after four hours. It wastes time to lift like I am watching videos of girls first but it’s fun and it keeps me going. I wonder if I’m the only one who does that.

I worked out for a couple hours today. I went in and the trainer didn’t want to run me through that workout he was talkinb about because my calf is torn. I’ll go in tomorrow and do core and leg stuff.  I asked a trainer if my back was too angled flat and she said it was normal so I’ll keep doing squats but just not go down all the way. Just until my legs are flat. I was trying it the fiona von bachus way which just doesn’t work for me.
