The posts are coming ...

... like the line of guys at the Houston 500, which means often and probably on someone's face.  So my first day back into my routine went like this:
Diet: 2 Eggs and Organic grassfed  sausage for breakfast, Avocado and stirfry for lunch, blackberry and banana smoothie, Salad with beans, nuts etc. for dinner.  I make my own dressings.  This evenings was olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cashew butter, Blue agave and some garlic powder.  I also drank some Kefir post workout.
Went for a 2 mile run with 4 100 yard sprints thrown in there. Then boxed 5 minutes on the heavy bag then do abs for 4 minutes, then heavy bag for 5 minutes again, then abs for 4.  Then I did some arm raises cause I have delts like a 4 year old girl.

Then I figured out a shortcut for completing the rubiks cube, made a charcoal portrait of Samuel L Jackson, watched a Ted video on locating the parts of the brain that control consciousness, read 50 pages of Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, and watched part 1 of a 3 part series on "Guns Germs and Steel".
If it makes you feel any better I had off today so all of this was possible.

Like a bad case of herpes ...

I'm back!  It has been over two years since anyone has posted on this blog but the hits don't stop coming.  I believe it is due largely in part to the sexual inuendos that cover this site, but I am going to delude myself into thinking it is my wit and valuable workout information.

So what the hell happened you may ask ( you probably won't, but I am going to assume that you did). I stopped caring, and my cohorts who were supposed to motivate me dropped the ball as well.  I also injured myself and couldn't run for a year so I made that an excuse to not do anything else either.  But I started working out again in preparation for Rugby and other than my 3 week hiatus for going to Bangkok, I am back on train (not the kind we run on your mother).

If you discovered this page in search for questions about herpes please go here. If you want to see me kick Tim Hahn's ass in pull ups at Lumphini Park in Bangkok watch this video.

How Close are you?


I took this idea from beast skills to get better at one armed pull ups. You take a weight attach it to a rope and hang it over the pull up bar. Then you grab the bar with one hand and then rope with the other. If you are a pussy when you pull up with your one hand you will pull the weight up with the other hand and you won't finish your pull up. I currently did a pull up with 10 lbs on the rope. I got it with my left arm on the bar and I only got half way with my right arm on the bar and left on the rope. I am thinking of getting a pulley because I think the friction is playing into the actual weight I am using with my off hand. Try it out!
