I'm no foodie. So be nice to me. It's kind of damp and even a bit chilly still. I really want a toasted cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup for lunch. Yep, Stroehmann bread, Kraft singles and Campbell's.

Gotta love the 80/20 rule. You are what you eat. Physical fitness is 80% diet and 20% exercise. Now, exercise is still beyond important. People are told to exercise at least 3 times a week. In my opinion, it should be at least 4 times a week.

I got caught in a downpour while walking last night and ran the last half mile to the car. The thunder was getting louder and I have an irrational fear of being hit my lightning (OK, maybe that's rational). Running felt so good, and I was only somewhat out of breath at the car. I never run. Maybe I'll start working it in.

Well, I guess I might as well stop leering at dEnnis' avatar now. The tight jeans, the big gun. Another one off the meat market.

My sources tell me OSP went to Jared. Not the store. Jared.

Yeah, nice try, slipping your dad in there as the before. We're on to you.

It's really just about knowing your body's limitations. If you think the weight is too much then it might be. I still recommend mixing weight at the moment, especially with the left arm which seems a little weaker.
Have you always rested that long between sets? I would say maybe shorten the rest period to a minute tops between sets. Try it with the lower weight if your muscles aren't recovering fast enough. Just don't hurt yourself or use bad form. If all you can get out is one rep after thirty seconds of rest then that is fine.
Yeah, I've always figured the rest break was too much. And it's actually longer than what I said, because I have only one weight. I curl the right arm, then it rests while I curl the left, then I take my break! It's sort of a mental barrier to break through. After doing both arms, I just feel like I deserve a break or something.

Austrian+a grimace+a certain body language=lazy. I always give professional athletes the benefit of the doubt. I don't think people prone to laziness make it that far. It's the easy answer to grasp for.

Neuvirth, that's impressive! Is there such a thing as biker's high?
My question is about rest. I got a 35 pound weight and did some curls last night. I did 6-5-3 reps with the right arm and 3-3-3 reps with the left arm, with a two or three minute break between sets. I've been doing curls for a while now one day on one day off. Am I doing it right? Needing "rest" today after so few reps seems a little silly. Also, should I be doing curls more than once a day, maybe morning and evening?
And — does it sound like 35 pounds is too much right now? The thing is, I don't see how I progress without the challenge. I had hit the wall at 30 pounds.

Here's my dad's World War II memoir for anyone who's interested. He wrote it at age 78 after almost never speaking of the war all the years we kids knew him. He'd wake up at night shouting sometimes. We always heard that "Dad has trouble sleeping sometimes, that's all." The book solves any mystery as to why. I fancy myself a writer sometimes, but he wrote this himself. I just cleaned up some typos.

Good read, except this sentence, which is very easy to misinterpret:
"That soldier proved to be the only one of more than 20,000 convicted deserters during that war to suffer the death penalty."
I thought 20,000 deserters had been executed, and that stunned me.

Vanek has been poorly coached his whole NHL career, so I'm sure he felt right at home in Munreal. Maybe (insert name of Minnesota coach I'm too lazy to look up, maybe Herb Brooks? here) will get it right.

I think I have his liver, actually.
He moved here and became a census worker?
I took a picture off my balcony when I got home this evening right at that "golden hour" moment, and remembered that I had a shot from the same spot from back in December. It was about 5 AM and the first really substantial snowfall- I was up going to the airport to go home for Christmas. It was dead silent, and no color anywhere. Not even the red bridge registered as red. Completely grey and blue and washed out. I enjoy the juxtaposition.
See… where else are you going to go and enjoy hockey talk and beauty like this?

Hit up the North Buffalo Rink today and really enjoyed it. The ice was good, and I couldn't believe it was only two bucks. I loved the array of Sabres photos above the rink but am blaming my rusty performance on the glowering face of a larger than life Lindy Ruff. Freaked me out. Millsie was up there, too.

The backwards baseball cap... It has seen far far more than its 15 minutes
I was rummaging through old family greeting cards a few days ago and found one where a teenager is walking past an old fogie on a park bench, teen wearing a cap backwards and the fogie wearing it the "right way." The bubble over both of their heads said the same thing: "I wonder if he knows he's wearing it backwards?"
I consider myself pretty low-maintenance as far as relationships go. I'm not a romantic, I don't require grand gestures, flowers, and fawning over me (I dislike being the center of attention anyhow). And I get that lots of people have trouble remembering dates. But with all the technology out there available to help with this sort of thing, it's pretty bad when you forget your gf's birthday.
He obviously doesn't check the SabreSpace home page. I saw it was your birthday yesterday, then proceeded to forget to wish you a happy one. Let me take the bullet for your bf. Be mad at me! (Sorry, bro, I tried.)

Come on. Who takes a job and then leaves a few months later?

Anyone remember the springs with the handles you stretched way out to work your pecs? That's vintage 70s. I think they actually worked pretty well.
The best home exercise equipment I've used is the Ab Dolly. Solid concept.

LGR, As someone who just started a relatively intensive workout program put together by a very good friend who weight trains regularly, i would advise you to just watch what you eat! A lot of muscle growth really comes down to what you put into your body. As you lift weights you're breaking down muscle fibers, when they heal they get bigger. That's the dumbed down science of it anyway.
Now, I'm not advising weight watchers here or anything, just making sure you are getting enough protein in your diet so that your muscles can repair themselves is essential. So if you're going for numbers (40lb curls is solid) then go for it! It's impossible to not see gains regardless of diet but if you really want to maximize gains, the most often recommended daily amount of protein i see is your body weight (in grams). so if you weight 175-180lbs, then anything around 175-180 grams would be about what you're looking at.
Love to see people get active, the feeling after a nice run, bike ride, or lift is the best!
Yowza, that seems like a lot of protein! In your opinion, does protein source matter? I eat meat only a couple times a week, but I do track protein from time to time and find that I am getting enough (or thought I was before seeing your post). For example, for breakfast, I had a cup of OJ, a cup and a half of shredded wheat with a banana and some blueberries, and a half a cup of soy milk. About 15g of protein.

The problem with weight lifting is that you will inevitably hit walls with certain muscle groups. Just keep working them. I would say up the weight a bit and do really short sets, 5 reps tops. So maybe at 35 or 40lbs you'll be doing 5-4-2. Work with heavier weight at lower reps and don't worry that you're not doing enough reps.
I keep reading that if you can't do eight reps, it's too much weight. If you can do more than 12, it's not enough. I don't think I can do eight reps at 35, but I might give it a shot.

.... I went from 20lbs curls 10X3 to 30lb curls 10X3 plus some other random feats. My goal by August is to be up to 40lb curls which would be a lot for me.
I started off curling detergent bottles (the ones with the handles) filled with water early in 2013. Couldn't have weighed more than five pounds. It was so pathetic — I could do maybe five reps. Now I'm up to a real 30-pound weight. I do three sets — something like 12 reps, then 10 reps, then 8 reps with my right arm. My left arm is a little weaker. I feel like I've hit a wall. I no longer see any gains and wonder if I should drop back to 25 pounds. My biceps are about 13 inches, which is probably only average, but coming from the actual non-existence of said muscle at the beginning, I am happy.
At the end of last winter I was at an all time high of 210. I weighed 175 this morning despite having a very bad weekend of eating. I think my metabolism is all fired up now, but I have to be careful not to yo yo back in the other direction. That's my M.O. I'm actually concentrating now on eating very healthy and exercising a lot and letting the weight fall where it may. I think if you get stuck on a number, when you get there, you quit. And then you're in trouble. And I'd love to gain back weight in the form of muscle, of course.

Last night, for the first time since he was a teenager coming of age in Romania, Gary Bettman's ###### surged past four inches.

I've stopped going to bars altogether. Just doesnt make sense for my state of life. This weekend will be a test. Canal Days is a big brew haha in my town and it usually brings out the worst in me.
Brew haha. Nice.
You're doing good man.

Whatever they do, they have to start communicating 1,000% better with the fans in the building and watching on TV. Yeah, I'm sure they'll get that part of it right. It's currently a joke.
