Scott’s Rants and Blog

I love it when people come up to me and ask if they can work in with me.  Was doing legs today and this guy asked if he could work in on the squat rack.  I said no problem since I normally try to take a little longer rest breaks when I do legs.  I hit them pretty hard so I figured it would be cool.  The guy was somewhat big so i figured only a couple plates would have to come off at a time.  Hell I had just finished a set of 15 @ 455.  He strips it down to 225 and then does 8 reps.  I was like ok that is cool he is just warming up.  Loaded up 500 for a set of 10 and then he stripped it back down to 250 and struggled to get to 6 reps.  I was like crap I am going to have to give this guy a spot.  I was becoming a little frustrated because I would strip the weight off when I got done, but the kicker was I had to load the plates on there too because he had to sit down.  What the hell!!!  Then when this very attractive woman comes by he jumps up and goes to get under the bar I had just loaded up to 605 for 8 reps and he acted like he was about to do it.  Then she gave him a quick look and kept walking.  He got out from under the bar and then sat back down.  I did my reps and walked off.  Screw his scrawny butt.  Why do people do that.  They not only break up my routine, but they look like idiots.  I do not mind sharing machines, but atleast be able to handle the weight.  Sorry had to rant a little bit tonight.

Well I think I finally hit the wall tonight here at work. Considering it is 240 in the morning and I still have 3 hours and 20 minutes till I get off and head home to get 5 hours of sleep and then head off to the gym for my last day of weights.  I am so exhausted that my chicken is actually looking very good.  I am so tired of chicken and rice I am ready to become a veggie…. nah!

I will preface this with I turn my cell phone on vibrate and do not look at it till I am done at the gym. 

I am ready to snap the necks of people that sit on machines and talk on their cell phones and then when you ask if they are done they give you the look of why the hell are you bothering me can’t you see I am on the phone.  Today I was ready to finish off my quad workout and the all the extension machines were being used except one and this guy had been on his phone for 20 minutes.  I asked if I could use the machine for 2 sets while he talked.  He said he was working out and I was bothering him.  I looked at him and just simply asked again if I could work in.  He just gave me a look and then just lifted 30 pounds to try to show he was working.  I wanted to snap his little neck.  How do people even think they are working out if they spend and hour talking on the phone and ten minutes lifting five pounds.

Thank God for cheat meals.  I was thinking I was going to go crazy today if I had to eat another plan piece of chicken with either rice or sweet potatoes and veggies.  So instead I had General Tao’s chicken and white rice.  Spring roll for the veggies.  Not the greatest thing in the world to eat, but sometimes you need that little pick me up so that you can stomach the rest of your meals.  Then again I think next time I am going to stick to Mexican food for my cheats.  At least they grill the chicken.   Man tonight it becomeing a wash with my meals.  I can barely keep my eyes open and really do not want to have any food.

I think I found the only 24 hour fitness in the city of Houston still not open.  Though they said it would open tomorrow.  So I went into work and did my leg workout there.  Needless to say I only had about a 1/4 of the equipment I really needed and way to little weight to get an actual workout in.  Ike sucked.

All I have to say after three days of cutting up tree limbs and repairing fence lines (still not done) went into the gym just to do some cardio.  The most gruesome 35 minutes of my life so far this week.  Ike was a breeze comapred to today.  Well I have a back workout tomorrow and then cardio Friday.  So it is all good.

Visit gym–No power

Visit gym again- still no power

I think this is a vast left wing conspiracy to keep the bodybuilder down.  They could have turned the power back on at anytime.  They just do not want me in the gym because I frighten the bubu’s.  I may not be super etched yet, but then again i am still in "off season" mode.  Come February i will be etched like crazy.  They do not like people that scream out qoute’s of the famous Ronnie Coleman.  Sorry could not resist.  Still no power in most of Houston and the surrounding area.  But hey this is the fun part.  At work tonight and will finally have access to a treadmill.  Going to have to hit it hard since I have not been in the gym since last week.  Hope everyone is doing ok…Peace

I am sitting here at work just browsing through the bodyspace photos and one of my co workers walks over and asks how I can look at hot women in almost nothing and not have "problems".  It is simple if I see a woman with a nice body I look at it from the aspect that she has worked damn hard to get there and I am showing her the respect she is due by visiting her page and bumping up her visits.  They all cannot look past the fact that they are good looking.  Man it is rather funny to me may not be to you, but it is to me….Peace…

Well I am in the heart of downtown Houston and it is still standing though Ike did punch out his fair share of windows.  Talked to family, friends and neighbors in the surrounding area and they all have no power (unfortunately some friends had their roof collapse in on their house, but thank God that it was the living room and not the bedrooms they and the kids are alright).  We never lost power last night here in downtown so that was good (generators would have kicked in, but a fifteen minute delay would have sucked).  Only a little flooding on a couple of streets, but talking to my neighbor sections of my subdivision did flood.  Well I am still having to be here at work so I guess I need to actually work.

Well I am sitting up here at work locked in since I am one of the senior analysts just waiting for Ike to finally blow through and get this whole thing over with.  I do have to say I cheated on my diet when the boss showed up with 20 pizzas for everyone that is here.  Pizza good, diet bad (at least for tonight..going to pay for it come Monday).  Hope everyone is being safe, but having more fun then I am…Peace
