Oh yeah...TCU girls are HOT HOT HOT!!!! Ahhh the good ol' days

Sounds like you have a chance to catch the lifting bug. I hope you do. Some key tips, 1. reread DirtyBird's post on lifting at your own level to meet your own goals. 2. Set your goals several months or even a year out and then backtrack. (i.e. I want to get BIGGER for now, and TONED later). 3. EAT EAT EAT!!!! If you want to get bigger, just eat anything you come across. If you want to get toned, that is a whole different ball of wax. If you lift heavy and you tear up your muscle, you will get sore (lactic acid buildup and muscle damage). If you FAIL to provide your bloodstream with the nutrients (namely proteins and amino acids) necessary to rebuild the muscle, you are MOVING BACKWARDS. Dont be catabolic, that is a bodybuilder's nightmare. I think at your stage cycling routines and plans any faster than every 4-6 months would be counterproductive. Here is my personal advice. Learn the main, big movement excercises. Learn to perform them PROPERLY. I'm talking Bench Press, Military Press, Curls, Rows (upright and bent), Tri Press, SQUATS. Set yourself up on a routine that hits one main muscle group a day. Hit that group and then rest it for at least 3 days before hitting it again. Your workout should be no longer than 1 hour. I am thinking maybe 4 excercises per workout. 4ish sets per excercise. And about 6-8 reps for the first 3 sets (more for a burnout on the fourth). Your routine might look like Chest (Monday), Arms (Tuesday), Legs (Wed.), Rest (Thursday). You can combine Chest/Tris (do chest first) and Back/Bis (Do back first). Again. REST your muscles after a workout. STRETCH before and repeatedly after a workout. And EAT EAT EAT. I was a hard gainer right out of high school and I put on about 35 lbs in 1 year. Even more in the next 6 months. Then I toned up. Now I have toned down and am trying to get that tone back!!!

MaryAnne was hotter. RIP Maynard G. Krebbs

Heh, yeah. I went into "Sports Cuts" and saw the end of the third and got home before the end of the game. Couldn't believe it?!?! Also, A&M lost to Clemson. I am SICK of A&M's team disappointing me year after year!!! Heck, we spend as much as UT does. ???

Whine or wine. I am thinking that both are definately at work here. VERY funny read! I'm predicting the "Crispy Beef" thread will become a classic. BTW, I have never heard of crispy beef. Sounds...healthy. Well, it sounds delicious anyhow! Still...I'm with the first guy, I think there is no such thing.

Heh, 18 is a great B-day to have and was a great year for me. Enjoy it lots, Bugsey Pooh. Too bad it fell on a Monday! Have fun this weekend

keep it up fatty. Dont forget, if you add a little muscle, your weight wont go down as fast, but you will look/feel better for it! I am back in the gym after a 2 year hiatus (garage workouts) too. Im down to 215 and figure I will be pretty lean at 210. So Im runnin (actually fast walking) right alongside ya!

Ya, I'll bet your ISP sux. Any alternatives? Sry to hear I can't frag you anymore

thanks guys (and girl) It was a pretty ordinary Tuesday night, but this weekend should be more fun. Food/Drinks and maybe a flick or two

Those little air cooled Honda motors will run for-ever!

They dont have computers in Fort Worth?? Stay around this site Sher...you will be near me. We could grab a burger or something, but I am usually really busy too.

saw you there last night. welcome, have fun.

Pretend your USP is a Colt and your Desert Eagle is a Magnum

I got it...had to draw a flow chart to get there though. Anyhow, gl preach

m0ss h4x, I seen it what with mah own two beedy little peepers!

Yeah, I've got no problem booting out someone who cant pay their bills...business is business. And yes, Duke, to be honest, a default on a land contract is nothing but good news for me...a win-win. I think the key would be to get a large cash down payment to discourage trashing the property and to protect me in case the buyer defaults. Of COURSE a watertight contract on this kind of deal is a must!! I will rent until the home values rise or just try and live in it for a few more years. The commute with rising gas prices are concerning my wife (we each drive to Dallas from FW) but I am really trying to make her see long term on this.

Any advice if I want to act like a bank and sell the house I am living in now?? The way I see it, if I run a background/credit check and require a 15-20% cash deposit, the risks to me would be minimal. This would give the wife and I a chance to mave closer to my new job (and hers). Also, I really like the idea of making the payment money and the interest money. I would probably wait 2 or 3 years for the home values to go up in my area before doing this...maybe rent in the interim. Any thoughts Dukey?? How dangerous would that be for me? I would hope to attract a good buyer who might have some kind of crud in their background, like a layoff or divorce and that would make it hard for them to get their own financing.

big ol snapping turtle. we used to go to Minnesota for the summers and my Dad picked up a huge snapper like that off a log. It tinkled all over him! HILARIOUS!

total greatness. what is golly gee?
