Whew...it's 78 with 81 percent humidity here. I'm not complaining, though. I went for a little run this morning.
Ben, are you doing any specific program for pushups/crunches? hundredpushups.com is pretty cool. I'm starting that over again for the third time today. (Planning on it!)
I can't heeear you!
I seeeee nothing! |

I've been looking to mix it up and alternate between different exercises actually. I think I'll do the hundredpushups.com thing and I'm open to suggestions as far as what to do on the off-days. I did the "initial test" and did 58 pushups (after doing 50 this morning as well as working out today) so I think I'll start on week three. Good luck! |

I do push-ups w/ my feet elevated about 12". I usually do 50~55, but that is after flat bench,decline bench, incline bench, dips, flyes, and cable
crossovers. I never liked doing push-ups. Ever.

Welp, haven't seen the sun for well over a week. We've had flooding, and it's calling for more rain this evening. Maybe i'll get to see the sun
next week sometime.

Morning! It's rather nasty here in NH too...
If you want to hoot with the hooty owles you need to be prepared to fly with the eagles in the morning... my boss told me that about 7 years ago when I was at work with a hangover

No significant rain here in sunny SW Florida for months. Send some down Tony and Ben! Good morning.
You forget it and I'll forget it, but I'll remember it, and don't you forget it!

I don't hate going to the gym usually, but I do hate doing my pushups and stuff first thing before I go to work! Even brushing my teeth this time of day is physically challenging for me... Have a great Friday and weekend everyone! |

Ben, no I sure do not do push-ups every day. Just on chest day. I hit every body part once a week (3 day split: chest/bi's, legs/back,
shoulders/tri's), but i've been at it a pretty long time. I go to the gym 3 days a week and run 2-3 days a week. I'm not big on mornings for
exercise either. Running seems to hurt 10 times worse if I drag up out of bed and tear off on a run compared to doing it in the afternoon after work, and I
think i've only ever hurt myself in the gym lifting in the morning. I'm cutting right now after a winter of a strength routine and a pretty serious
cycle of supplements. I gained 15 pounds, so hopefully when i'm finished, i'll have kept at least 5 pounds of solid mass and still be ripped. That
was/is the plan anyway.
Good morning. Looks like it'll be warm & muggy w/ a chance of t-storms around these parts. I went to a house concert last night and looked at Mark Cosgrove and Roberto Dalla Vecchia. If you're not familiar w/ either of them, Mark is a Winfield winner, and Roberto is a flatpicker from Italy (thanks to hearing Norman Blake's "Whiskey Before breakfast" album). They are both better pickers than I am.

Good Morning (a little later than even Bonnie usually posts....) ,
Pretty nice day out today. It's around 70 and half cloudy up here in NH. Art just came over and we jammed for a few hours. We yacked for half of that time actually. Tony, I kind of bulked up (like you did for this winter) for the past 10 years! My goal all along was that the 30lbs I gained from all those beers, pizzas and burgers I used to eat would turn to muscle mass... It's actually working.. I'm getting more muscular.

Good Morning everyone! Gotta head up to Burlington, VT for work today after I get my pushups done... Perhaps I'll go through Rutland, VT and check out
where Dan Tyminski grew up on the way back...
