[Gunny]

this lifting steel weights when it's 11 degrees out in the garage is over-rated. Been awhile since I had to wear longjohns under my sweats and insulated gloves just to lift weights.

Just have Jess stand on your back while you do pushups in the warm house.

And just wait til next week. I'll have to hang out there, whispering sweet nothings in your ear to keep you het up. :batteyes:

You would have more weight, since you're also lifting your own body weight.

I'm aware of the dynamics. She doesn't weigh enough.

But you COULD explain how I can do 185 lb clean-n-press's in a cramped living room with no weights.:laugh:

I think I'll just stick to the garage. It has a cement floor. This house does not. We already have an entrance to the basement and don't need a new one.

I don't lift weights. I run, I swim, and I do pushups and situps.

Just the basics for me.

[Gunny]

I do all that too. When I can. However, bench press, clean-n-press, pullups, curls, reverse curls and french curls are about as basic weightlifting as you can get. I'm water survival qualified, so I can swim just a bit. I'll be running again about the time I acquire a good pair of running shoes. The ones I have aren't all that hot. I CAN however jump rope for 20-30 mins in them.

I just never have enjoyed weight lifting and never got into it. Don't really like running either, but I've always been good at it.


As for running shoes. Nike ONLY for me.

[pegwinn]

You need to get one of them stoves they used to put in GP tents. What did they call them? Yukons or some such.

I flat refuse to run, pull ups (except to embarrass the junior son-in-law who left for Army Basic about two hours ago), or situps/crunchies.

I have a (no shit) total gym which will wear you out if you apply it. Add a grandkid or two and you break a sweat faster than .... well i better stop....... wimmin and ladies might read this. :laugh:

Heater? I'm not in the Navy! :laugh:

I used to run 3-5 six days a week. One bad knee and two bad ankles later .... I need GOOD shoes, and they aren't cheap. I'd run just because it's good cardio.

How much do you swim? When the pools open I try to get 100 laps a day (60' foot , as you know a lap he one trip both ways)

I love swimming, both as recreation and as exercise. The best part of swimming as an exercise is that it is low to no impact.

The plant I work at is run like a ship since management is a buncha Navy Nucs. One mentioned to me that I ought to quit busting thier chops since Jarheads were a department of said navy.

"Sure are", says I, "The Mens Department".

They don't joke much anymore. Me, I been cold. I been Hot. Hot is better, which might explain why me and her are still together.....

Gawd I hated and still hate running. I'd rather hoist a pack any day, and that includes the spreadloaded shit from weapons co. Good boots (Danners IMO) make all the difference.

Did you miss that post? I'm WSQ. I can stay in the water forever. You can ask PEGwinn ... I went from zero to WSQ in one day. Took about 9 hours. Not that I'm too hard-headed to quit or anything .....:dunno:

I can run nearly forever to, doesn't mean I DO. That's what I was asking. DO you make swimming a big part of your workout?

Used to. Don't live where that's much of an option now. Did you miss the 11 degrees part?

Our local community center has a heated indoor pool.

And when the snow that we're gonna get melts but then it gets real muddy and you have to wait for the ground to dry a bit, soooooooooo you're looking at ... July or so. :laugh:

Our "local" community center with the heated pool is not conducive to my schedule. Besides, I DO have a heavy bag and can practice katak in the 11 degrees. If it doesn't kill me, it'll just make me more of an asshole.

Were lucky here with weather, it's very rare that I can't get out and run. Can use the pool usually from May until early October if I heat it a little at either end, but that gets expensive.

[shattered]

42 years of dealing with this crap has finally gotten to me. I'm too old for this shit. :D

Yhe running isn't due to the weather. The running is due to shoes. I've run in worse than this. Apparently, my good running shoes got left somewhere.

Moving up a size to allow for extra insulation in your workout Snuggie, then?

I don't blame you there one bit. I would NEVER run in anything but top line shoes. I prefer the Nike AirMax + , but at $200 they aren't cheap.

Nah - he wouldn't miss you - he's a very good shot.

He doesn't have ADD - he's just spirited/challenging/"an all-boy boy". He does have a hard head though.

Of course, the 8 yr old has a harder head ... maybe not harder than Gunny's head, but harder than the 6 yr old.

I have a 6 y/o with developmental issues. She's sweet and VERY smart, but not very sociable most of the time ( her half brother is the ONLY person she never rejects attention from)

I hear ya there.

A stomp dog? Nope. They are fine for others but considering the fact that we have three boys between the ages of 6 and 11 and a 25+ lb. cat that thinks he owns the place, a stomp dog would not do for us.

I've always had bigger dogs anyway - Labs, Boxers, mutts of decent size. I want people to think twice before coming onto my property.

We have a male and a female Great Dane who patrol the house. Unless she's bred, in which case we separate them, or unlesss we have pups that haven't sold yet.

I had the male for about a year before I met my wife and that fucking traitor is 100% her dog now. Aint NO ONE messing with the Messican gal while that dog is around. The female, she looks just as tough, but is much more laid back , UNLESS she has pups.

Heh, my client that's an ER doc has a gorgeous Dane. All black male named Kaiser. He's my buddy. I feed him, let him out when the doc has long shifts, etc. Kaiser definitely outweighs me and when he leans into me for a butt-rub, he all but knocks me over.

Love them Danes!
