Waive it all? Yesss! More nannas for me. Thanks for connecting. :)
HA, pearennials!
Like the proverbial cat, I may burgle some of my puns, but I swear I have no felineous intent.
Any pun is fair game in my book, and after all, sharing a good one is its own reword.
Enjoy your time away from the snare of the webz.
Had to look up Sturgis, and this is the pic that popped up first on google. If you don't mind the noise, doesn't look like such a bad time to visit ;)
I'm a bit of a repearbate, I'm afraid. Pun genius will periodically strike on its own, but I'm just as likely to go searching for one in a pinch. And no, I don't create all my own lolcats either!
Hope this doesn't one day result in my becoming a despearado.
But keep up your rhyming. One day you could be the next Dr. Suess or Shel Silverstein.
You still in the midwest, or have your travels begun?
Now that one definitely smacks of originality :D
Major points for originality and length of composition.
No need to report you to your pearole officer.
happy birthday :)
hey Matt! Lol! We are of the same cloth my friend. Just sayin'... be very very stingy with your energy output!!!!!! I learned the hard way (wasting lots and lots of energy) trying to "get a great workout" when all I wanted to do was put some functional beef on my super lanky gangly 133 lb six foot tall frame! (36 inch sleeve length... was able to put my thumb and forefinger clear 'round my upper arm when I began!)
It is extremely important to differentiate between "weight training", "weight lifting" and "bodybuilding"... They are similar but no way the same!
You did not specify what your goal was, but it has to be SPECIFIC (Like ANYthing in life worth achieving it must be narrow and deep). Too many people want it all and they get nowhere and waste time and effort "eating soup with a fork" when all they need to do is understand and APPLY the FUNDAMENTALS of physiology - which starts with Specificity!!!!!
Bottom line: If you want to build muscle (not JUST strengthen it along w/ ligaments, tendons, etc., then you had better be REALLY protective of your systemic energy and never EVER workout with weights "to get a good workout" or to "work up a sweat" lol... (sure you will sweat from effort, but for the PURPOSE OF PROGRESSION THAT IS ALL. Plus, on this diet you need so little cardio it is not funny !I (I will never understand why anyone in their right mind would want to run anyway lol lol lol!!! I am in the best company too since as it turns out, the "Father of Aeorobics Dr Ken Cooper agreed with me three decades ago when he literally wrote the book on cardio exercsise. I even went to Dallas to take the course at that time.
So unless you LOVE to run (and do not mind exhausting yourself for no good reason and nothing to show for it, or you are the type that loves the macho competition syndrome - yuck - then do very little cardio.. and do not worry! There is no connection between lack of exercise and heart disease as you most probably know! Diet is the culprit there. It has never been proven otherwise.
Extra cardio , even in your THR need only be done for 12 minutes two or three times per week to produce CHAMPION levels of endurance, and in only six weeks time. If that. I know. Been there done that. But the price is to look emaciated, which is my natural genetic state... and no way do I want to even look slightly corpse- like lol! It is all about LIFE man!!! :)
Matt sorry for the delay. Good question! The confusion arises from differentiating local muscle failure, fatigue & recuperation/burnout to SYSTEMIC "failure" (hopefully that never happens or one faints or dies lol!) .
The key is progression. So do as little possible to progress, within a reasonable time as per your cycle, where you reach new strength/development plateaus after which time you take a planned rest. Then start again!
Taller people, or those who abuse their bodies by not getting enough sleep, calories, etc, will have to use trial and error to figure out the perfect balance for them. Those who are shorter and stockier and who have "better stock" will probably never have to worry. They are the ones who gain in spite of what they do instead of because of it. Of course, these can be the champions if they apply the same fundamentals of recuperation and progress to their stellar genetics!
Holy Jesus!
haha I miss you.
