Team Muskle – Training Log: Current Routine

I’m on Phase 2 of this workout – to add 10lbs of muscle and work on my X shape (big quads, slimwaist, broad shoulders).

Here’s the breakdown, modified from a Muscle & Fitness routine, edited for the equipment my gym has and the exercises I like doing:

Team Muskle Training Log – Welcome

Okay, this is the poop.

A few weeks back, at a Bears Dim Sum Gobble here in San Diego, a few of us on the post gobble coffee break were discussing lifting.  My buddy Steve (www.The-Bear-Den.com) and Dave (Pwwrlift) asked me how much I pressed, etc — then discussed amongst themselves.

Turning to me, “Have you ever considered competing in powerlifting?”

This is a douchebag free zone please

I chat online.

Yeah, y’all know that – well most of ya since you found this blog as a link from my profile from some homo chat someplace.

So there’s a helluva lotta douchebags online.
‘Nuff said?

But please – let’s make this a douchebag free zone.
That is all.

Please return to your normal chatting and remember: Thou Shalt Not Suffer A Douchbag to Chat

2008 The Year in Review; AKA – No Way 2009 Can Suck as Bad

Ah yes, what a lovely year!

• The Exciting news is my hubby of 7 years dumped me like yesterdays coffee grounds.  Monday it was picking out the tile on our pool remodel, Wed he was drunk and ‘wasn’t happy’ (no counselling), Friday he was ‘Get out’.  Stupid me wasn’t on the title — so guess who got financially screwed?  Lovely!
• Dating a Trophy Cub.  Yum!  But the cutest ones are always the most insane, and he followed in kind.
• Travelled 140,000miles  to teach and perform Arabic dance.  9 Countries.  Eat it, bitches!
• Got back onto the working out thing, and cut down 45lbs, and build back 25 of that in muscle (4 sizes smaller in pants!)
• Rebuilt my goals for my 40s and got back to some of the goals I overlooked due to being in a 7 year emotionally abusive relationship with said douchebag in Item #1.
• Oh, found out over the course the rest of the year that said douchebag was also cheating on me when I was out of town.  Trust? What’s that!  What a f*ckin douchebag.

So as 2009 begins, I have new goals – I’m training for competition powerlifting. I’m back to 245 and a 32″ waist, 18″ biceps and big hairy tanned tattooed bod.  Loving life!  LOVING Being single even though I’ve dated one guy since bein single – and no, not alot of NSA sex – just having a good time!  Maybe someone will come along. I have my friends, good friends, and I get to travel worldwide.

And shopping for a condo.

It’s a beautiful beginning.

Good freakin riddance 2008!
