[Joesportstalk]

do you really know all those chicks from your my space...if so give them my number

I know a handful of them personally actually, but others I just talk to on the internet.

all of them will ALWAYS be in relationships already anyway man, I mean seriously whne you are that hot, how can you not always be some what involved with somebody LOL

But Sounds to me like you have a good head on your shoulders and are pretty fit yourself, so I bet you do OK with the ladies at the Gym or on those awesome Aussie beaches .....

[Joesportstalk]

What's with the Cheetos???
Carbs my friend, watch them...
d.

Sure thing Ms. Halloween candy eater LOL J/K

You are right of course ... Chester Cheetah is my weekness. Thank god Costco sells boxes of the 100 calorie packs so I can still get my fix of them and not do too much harm.

[swanso5]

the chick thing...suprising not really...

the food thing...i think you could use 1- 2 protein and veggie snacks

the training thing...post your joint rotations workout plz...
don't stretch area's that already have flexibility...too much cardio before wts for me...ab reps are far too high, try harder variations that allow only 15 reps maximum...too much calf focus which are 95% genetic...too mnay machines...the one you don't know the name of are Hyperextensions and promise me you'll never do them again unless you want back issues...

do you know how to and / or deadlift??




Today was a busy day for me work wise, so a

I am currently working out at the 24 hr fitness Gym in Summerlin ( Las Vegas west side) it is the Andre Agassi super sport... I think I am gonna join another gym too and try a new atmosphere , I been at this gym for 2 yrs now and maybe have hit a routine that I need to alter some .

My football season starts on the 18th of this month, and I am also trying to get my head ready for the season opener too. so a lot of mental going on inside right now , new business start up, season about to start, and trying to challenge myself and get down to around 250 - 260 by spring. ( I want to look good enough to be on my own sports show LOL .... ) Well that is all I got for today.

[Joesportstalk]

why all the machines joe?

well for the legs, I do the machines cause I am worried about squatinng heavy on my knees .


and for the upper body stuff, I have a broken finger LOL so it is hard to grip and stabalize so most of the stuff I do, I do open handed. ( that is why I use my body for my biceps) I use one hand to curl with the other pushing down for resistance, I will take some pics of everything this week and get them online .
