The Workout Thread

Yes Kidnemo, you have gotten a little too corny lately and believe it or not that is 90% of the reason I haven't been around in a couple weeks.

I was happily reading along about everybody doing pushups. Some of the numbers might have seemed a little high but HAY, I got my own pushups to do. So no big whoop. Then you come in here demanding videos. Of pushups? It was too much. One of my favorite people of the whole entire internet acting that pompous? I had to take a break.

So I was hanging out with Shakey and I randomly asked "Any crazy TNL drama lately?". And of course he said no. So I explained that if people are going to publicly demand video evidence of other people doing something so banal as pushups that the internet had gone too far and I couldn't get involved anymore.

So I went home and as I was replaying the events of the day that got stuck in my mind. And I thought "HAY I love TNL and I love Kidnemo so screw this I'm going back". And just about the first thing I see is you demanding pushup videos for the second time. Ugh. Where will it end?

"Josh, I know you like to say that you read the stand by Steven King but I'm actually certified when it comes to book reading and without video footage of you reading the whole thing from cover to cover I can only assume that you either didn't do it right or didn't finish the whole thing like you said you did. BTW, Even though I rarely have time to be positive or encouraging toward anybody in this thread, I totally have time for videos like this.".

I remember when you asked for pictures. Alot of guys put one up. Brand X, Advocate, Prince Planet, Dole, Taloony, Josh, me, Hubb and maybe more. You said something nice to Taloony and you said "I support p90x" to Hubb and other than that? Not a word. If you're so many light years ahead of the rest of us shouldn't your role in all of this be a little more encouraging and a little less self aggrandizing and negative toward others?

If other people's pushups really matter and you want to help everybody be in better shape then where in the heck is your video? Wouldn't it cut to the chase a little more directly for you to make a two minute video of doing pushups correctly? I could (heck, I would) watch that video but I could never sit here and watch Cow's hundred pushup run.

We get it that you've been at this awhile. We get it that you're putting forth alot of effort and making big sacrifices for your body. We get it that you're becoming educated about all of this. We get it that you have clients and tell them stuff. What we don't get is why it gives you license to be a little jerky about all of it.

ANYWAYS

I've been doing lots of kettlebell snatches on the balance board. I'm only on the 26lber because of the balance required but it's alot of fun

Fair enough, done with this thread.

I'm going to the gym in a bit.

I'LL MISS KIDNEMO!

Also: I love walking to the gym. God living in the city is awesome.

Gee, do you quit this easily in the ring too? You'll never be The Ultimate Fighter that way.

Still, it's a shame you're being such a woman about this. I'll be the first to admit that Kidnemo clearly has a lot of talent and knowledge that could be very useful to everyone in this thread, myself included. But until he pulls his own dick out of his ass perhaps it's best for all involved that he takes a break.

I just curled two servings of oatmeal. Pretty soon I'm going to do 2x2 of vegetarian sausage patty presses, then go for a 3 mile walk.

Sup brah.

I did back, biceps, calves and cardio today. I finally made it through 20 minutes of bike on random completely at level 8. Next I'll start switching to level 9 during the easier parts of 8 until I can build up to level 9 full-time, and so on.

Do you eat meat at all? I've tried veggie meat (recently it was fake ground beef- not bad), but I'm a carnivore at heart. Always will be. I just ate some chicken and a Kellogg's chocolate chip Fiber Plus bar (I could live on these things).

BTW, I've been trying Ezekiel bread lately and I'm loving it. It's basically an organic, flourless bread made from whole wheat, barley, millet, lentils, soybeans, and spelt. It makes a delicious, nutrient-rich, heavy (one loaf weighs 1 1/2 pounds...wacking someone with it would hurt fo realz) bread that even has 4 grams of protein per slice. You can read about it here:

They make a whole line of shit like this- cereal, pasta, etc, but so I've only found the bread at Trader Joe's.

Sunday night I ate some of Hubbards mom's pastitso which had meat in it, but my diet is 99% vegetarian.

Try the morning star sausage patties. Those things are the fucking truth. They're greasy and delicious.
