Thanks HGP. They are finally starting painting this week. The walk in steam shower is almost done, he should be finishing the tile in there today and then the guy comes to measure for the glass.LOT of work, bro! I can see some system in the chaos, keep grinding!
Will do, it is going to be so much nicer than it was. Will be like having a new house!Take some home pics when everything is ready, wanna share your happiness!
Yeah, and I am over the time to focus on other things and ready to focus more on this. The next 20 days will be "fun" in that I am going to see what I can do without going extreme on the diet. I am going to go lower carb with carbs only around training, fasting will be done most days, and I plan to do something almost every day unless it is an extremely active day which I will have some of those as well but will probably at a minimum do something resistance based on those days.Sometimes it be like that
Best of luck with everything! You don’t always get to decide what happens to you in life, but you do get to decide how you let it affect you!
Yeah, things got wild real quick, and all of the sudden my body started backsliding much more quickly and I knew that was a big part of it too!Construction is always a biatch. Time for cortisol control...
No doubt, I want to see where I came from but I already know I am not happy with my current situation. I don't need a picture to tell me that right now but will be great for a comparison afterwards...Take them for you and don’t look at them now, just like you said. But being able to look at the progress privately will be worth it later.
Yes and just like back then, it is time to rebuild!Looks like Berlin 1945.
People love a good crack at your balls!Congrats on the pool table! I have a convertible. Its just a table on regular days. Nothing as fancy as yours -but the center attraction when friends come over.
Yeah, that is what I am expecting. I am definitely going to build a table top for it, or possibly at some point just get a ping pong table top for it and use a table cloth to cover that if we need extra eating spots. With 2 bars and a giant dining room table we should be good to go and not have to cover it very often at all...Congrats on the pool table! I have a convertible. Its just a table on regular days.

Yeah they do! Nothing like having your balls racked multiple times in a night...People love a good crack at your balls!
@BOSSMAN Oh that won't happen, I would sell it if that ended up being the case... Plus after spending the extra on the bad ass felt I sure don't want to be the person who thinks that sitting ANYTHING on that table other than pool playing stuff is acceptable... Only other things acceptable are if I buy a ping pong table top, or build a table topper to use it for a secondary table.Dont let the pool table turn into a laundry table
You got a hell of a deal brother!! If you and momma have a wild night and come home to a empty house....dont be surprised if yall end up on the table@BOSSMAN Oh that won't happen, I would sell it if that ended up being the case...

Okay, so there is one thing other than pool accessories that I will permit on the table...You got a hell of a deal brother!! If you and momma have a wild night and come home to a empty house....dont be surprised if yall end up on the table
"maayyyybbbbeeee we can make an exception...." haha we all know how that thought process goes (or doesn't) in the heat of the momentOkay, so there is one thing other than pool accessories that I will permit on the table...
That's when the "Little Head" is doing all the thinking !!"maayyyybbbbeeee we can make an exception...." haha we all know how that thought process goes (or doesn't) in the heat of the moment
Who you calling "LITTLE"?! hahaThat's when the "Little Head" is doing all the thinking !!
Little big head?!Who you calling "LITTLE"?! haha
Thanks, and whatever... it is just life, sometime sometimes you hit the goal post and sometimes it hits you...Sorry about the smashed hood - wishing you Godspeed with the final detail work!
Yeah, I went through that when training the Underground Strength Stuff which as of late has been my favorite training style. Lots of carry over from that and this type of training too. We did lots of carrying and odd object stuff, but also concentrated more on explosive movements. So I am hoping that this is something I will really enjoy. Like you said though, I am going to have to keep myself from pushing too hard, natural athletic ability is going to need to take a back seat to me conditioning myself to that type of workout at first so I don't create more issues or imbalances.That is very exciting for your son! I hope it’s an awesome experience for him.
My recommendation with the strongman implements is to keep them on the lighter side for a while so you can focus on learning technique and getting the body used to moving through multiple planes of motion again. It is not friendly transitioning from traditional bodybuilding and powerlifting that requires no athleticism.
Basically try to get used to moving for a while. I am just beginning to do this myself. It’s the worst.
That’s what I’m warning against. His strength in one plane from years of lifting will be higher than his ability in others, so going heavy for a while isn’t advised. Also in general some events really shouldn’t be pushed 10/10 very often.Natural intensity is def both a blessing and a curse... if you don’t check it at times it’s easy to get carried away and burn out or worse yet get hurt (and sometimes push through that too ha)
Yep been there and done that.Natural intensity is def both a blessing and a curse... if you don’t check it at times it’s easy to get carried away and burn out or worse yet get hurt (and sometimes push through that too ha)
Yeah that is one of the things I will have to keep in mind. That kind of intensity is only needed for testing and competition. Just have to remind myself of that on the reg. Growing up we just worked our ass off. If we could do more or push harder then we did until we failed. The did it some more to make sure we got the job done. There was a period of years that I went to failure then multiple drop sets on almost every exercise. I got great progress no doubt but I am sure I put a lot of wear and tear on myself as well. Either way that much of intense training even lowering it I still end up getting pretty intense regardless. So things like event work will most definitely start much lower resistance with probably a little longer carries or holds so it is both conditioning and skill practice.That’s what I’m warning against.

I mean doing a triple dropset on barbell rows - you’re not risking much. You go to the limit on a max keg load and I’ve seen guys fall backwards and smash their foot or knee with the keg, or pass out and risk whacking their head.Yep been there and done that.

Oh crap brother that hoop causing damage is no crap luck. :/LMAO!!! No doubt he still gets to make a decision or two every once in a while.
Well when it rains it poors, literally. We had a major storm and I went out to my car this morning to see that the basketball goal was on the ground in front of my car... Got blown over and the rim smashed into the hood scratching and also crinkling that metal up. Have a feeling that might end up being a new hood... Like I needed to lose another 500 right now on a deductible...
At least we got the pool table before this expense popped up or I would be doing the responsible thing and paying off the deductible with the pool table money. Speaking of, we are loving it. I have only played about 10 games but my daughter has been playing / practicing almost nonstop since we got it.
Didn't get a workout in yesterday, had something going on with my gut and stayed home sick. Hell I was in bed all day, was hoping I might feel well enough to do a little around the house but that never happened. Tonight we knock out some more touch ups. I finished blending in the patches in the wall and will go ahead and start painting touch ups now. Only 9 days until Mom get's here but it doesn't HAVE to be done when she gets here. Just has to be close enough to be nice.
I think what I am going to do is just go in and blast some hard work for 15-30 minutes then start painting so I can get a lil something in. I really wish this past weekend had been able to dedicate some more time to touch ups but we got so much more cleaned up. Had to go get one of those trash bags from home depot that you can fill with up to 8 yards of trash to get rid of the last bit of junk in the house. There will be no clutter left when we are all done!!! Anyway, we are down to the final touch ups and no reason to think it can not be completed or mostly completed by the time Mom gets here on the 3rd.
So far unfortunately! I took some pics of the house i will upload a few so you all can see. Just need to start hanging some of the art and stuff back up this weekend.What up @MrKleen73 good to see things are going well and you are getting caught up. 110 degrees here this weekend. The grunt work is over for now, just maintenance and grass cutting. I've had a really good season up to date. Haven't worked out in 2 weeks myself. But maintaining "I guess" . I have the attitude at this point, "if it doesn't get done during the week...it will have to wait until next week"! I need weekends off at this point for family, friends, vacation etc...and that's what I'm gonna do! (Unless a nice hit comes about 1-2k take home pay) and I can make exceptions.
So question???? Are we just using the pool table for pool???
We should start posting pics of cream doughnuts and deep fried food in here..I'm glad he isn't working out that much. Gives me a chance to catch up to him.
