I'm patiently waiting for someone to derail the workout ******ation

Pub is less lame imo.

Also

Germany < Canada < U.S.A!

Great episode of Chuck last night (one of my favorites actually). I still wish they would tone down the cheesiness of the Buy-more employee scenes, everything else is done so well it feels like it just drags down the whole show.

Canada > USA in hockey so your ranking seems way off

1 - 1 in Olympics and they needed OT so I wouldn't say they are definitely better.

and we had more medals.

I went to Pilates class today. It was stupid.

I went because I thought it would be about stretching and I'm pretty amazingly inflexible. Unfortunately it was focused on core work. But in 45 minutes I got less of a workout in my core than in the first 5 minutes of my standard workout.

And there were no hot chicks.

Yoga is for stretching, Pilates is for...core work.

In other news, I am sore today, fullll body sore, and it feels great. My hamstrings, core, shoulders, all are suffering a bit.

I plan on attempting another workout today, not sure what to do though.

Mmm. You guys got me interested in the kettlebell. They dont have this at my gym, what kind of weight do you guys recommend for someone that is in decent shape? 16kg? Seems to be the standard.

gross dude

Last night for dinner, I made a chicago style pizza based on the recipe in the EDF thread about it (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/79...primer-430424/). I went the lazy route and bought pizza dough instead of making it, which actually turned out to be a pretty big mistake - it got BIG. Other than that, though, it was fantastically good.

I've always made the dough, and it still gets big. Please tell me you did sausage and pepperoni.

Just pepperoni

Sausage got vetoed by the wife

put sausage in half of the pizza ftw if not allowed procede to divorce.

::sigh:: In the poker game of life, women are the rake, man. They are the ******* rake.

I need life rakeback then

lol

lol at expecting hot chicks in any class at results

i see hot chicks running on the treadmills/ellipticals fairly often there.

I am currently doing a crossfit based workout at home/at the trim trail down the road. You need to be a bit inventive at times but I'm enjoying it a lot more than the starting strength program I did before. I am mostly using it to avoid building up imbalances from rock climbing. It is amazing how many rock climbers ignore the imbalances they build up in their muscles and tendons because of the slight increase in body mass. Then they get surprised at all the injuries they get.

This is true. If you have any history of joint pain, I would recommend sticking to the grass. If you want to see how tiring running can really be, try running on sand. Racing on sand dunes was one of the most tiring things I have ever done.

You have never done yoga?

you have never worked out at results

I'll take that as a no then

oh no, i've been to yoga classes both at results and elsewhere

16kg does seem to be the starting point. The nice thing is that you can use it one or two handed depending on your strength level, and what you are doing.

FYI, did my second workout today, got through 2 full tabata cycles, and basically collapsed after. I had trouble walking up the stairs to take a shower. I may be in love with my KB.

I may start to get back into yoga myself, but I could never do it at a studio/gym, home DVD FTW.

jd, what exercises did you do for each tabata cycle?
