slai Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I've been a member for 18 years, so they give me free reign of the place! Slai, have you tried using rubbers or light weights to strengthen ur RC? Just do a lot of Yeah, I started doing a lot more RC exercises after I first recovered from a partial torn supraspinatus just over a year ago. I was using the cable station for most of my RC exercises. I thought I was doing ok until I got a little overambitious with overhead barbell squats last week. On the plus side, it isn't as bad as my previous injury...now I'm forced to switch my routine to more cardio. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 That's an impressive amount of weight you're pressing there Do you workout with a 3-day split or 4-day split or total body? so what do you lift for reps after that warm up ? or did the smith machine have a negative rep at all ?? ... (all in fun man) gotta have a sense of humor at our gym... my "apparel" I don't really have any room on my wrist for anything else.. different wraps for different day's.. different straps for back day...white powder is not what you think how do I tell time ?? .. wall clock.. not that I'm overly concerned with it.. and all cardio machines now have timers.. do i need to time my sets..no not really .. never had the type of training to be able to wear a timepiece.. @slai.. if you were to bring a camera into our gym and you weren't with the media or contracted by the gym or sponsors to a meet or "show" .. ahhh you would be asked politely to leave.... no one has ever argued that.. phone cameras not allowed out of the bags in the locker rooms forgot some of the mottos at the gym.. Go hard or go Home....... Shut up and Lift... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 HikeUSA, your gym doesn't frown on bringing a cam in? Ahh...benchpresses...I just reinjured my right rotator cuff so no pressing for me for a few weeks. get some MSM take 15000 mgs a day(health food store or costco), 800 mgs ibuprofen 3x daily..... and in 2 weeks you will feel 100% better.. when you go back use dumb bells for a while...

I use dbs for all presses. I know this is off topic.. but oh well .. MSM Methylsulfonylmethane .. it's a sulfate that the body produces naturally for joints... it came out on the market not too long ago.. i started taking it on advise from a friend.. i could not do military on the barbell full range.. a friend at the gym..he's a neurosurgeon.. told me the body needs up to 20000 mg a day.. i was taking 2000.. so i upped it to 15 to 20 pills a day.. and now can do 225 250 military (free weights) barbell full range.. take the MSM only once in a while to maintain.

MSM.....gotta comment here...that stuff is excellent. I started taking it back in 1998 on the recommendation from my dog breeder.....huh? Yes, he bred Chinese Shar-Pei's and he used to give the MSM to them. He had it in powder form in huge tubs....he claimed that he started taking it for his aches and pains and how much it helpled him...and so he started giving it to his dogs....he was one of the original members that brought the Shar-Pei from China back in the 60s to the states that helped revive the breed. So he did a lot of experimentation on the dogs with all kinds of voodoo and s h it.....but MSM was something he swore by... I was a huge gym rat then and that stuff was a miracle powder for sure....don't need it now but I highly recommend it for folks with joint pain...

Margems Kennels .. he past a year and a half ago. man i miss him "Koa" Pua was sired by a state champion... the history of the shar-pei in America is cool... they were in the guiness book as the rarest dog on the Planet at one time.. In Ancient china.. they were the Emperors Tomb guards, arguably one of the oldest breeds in recorded history... over 2000 years i believe..... cool stuff.. bring back good memories .. thanks Tech..

hambone Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Reading through this post it is amusing how I thought to myself that the wall clock in the gym suffices for time inquiries, then lo and behold, Lanikai states just that. I don't see how a hard sweaty workout is going to be improved by a wristwatch. They get in the way, get sweaty and possibly damaged. No watches in the gym has always been my choice and many seem to feel the same at the 24 hour fitness gym I use, a very busy place. I suppose for the nascisistic, wearing a fancy rep and dawdling about on the machines might provide some satisfaction, but for those who are there for a serious workout, I think not.

Antonio_Montana Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I train a lot, 4 times a week in the gym and 3 times on the field (Rugby) and i never ever wear a watch. Only when running i sometimesss wear one, a polar works perfect. But i don't run a lot caus i keep telling myself that with my 220lbs i am not build for the long distance running When lifting, a watch is only bothering me cause my wrist bends and moves all the time. When i had to pick one i'd say take a light one with rubber strap, no ss or kevlar or other material that absorbs all the sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Watches included to stay on topic. When I played tennis but particularly golf, I used to get callouses just there on my ungloved left hand (I swing lefty, though I write righty). Editted. Nice peak at your collection and Seiko Mostro, Slai! P.S.: I'm not going to be power-lifting, obviously. I'm going for a full cardio workout, and easy does it in the beginning -- I'm no gym rat like you guys! My goal is to shed the stone I gained last year, so that I can go back to tennis particularly. It's my great sporting love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wear a fancy rep/gen to the gym and I don't dawdle....I wear my watch everywhere I go. It is used to tell the time. Nothing narcissistic about that.

(ok that's for the topic) yes .. Margems Kennels is world renowned.. you will find mention of her in all the books and pics of her bloodline.. how "Fire Wok With Me" .. Wokman came to Hawaii is interesting.. there is a breeder on Kauai who's breed goes all over the world.. she gave up her real estate business for full time Shar-pei breeding...she was invited to a worlwide "specialty show" .. east coast someplace can't remember.. but there were breedeers from all over the world.. something like 800 dogs... Wokman won best in show.. crowned "Grand Champion".. since it was a specialty show... at the Banquet.. the owner got to liking Charlie (she is the owner of Kauai King Shar-pei) .. and hinted that she would list Wokman to the right person... Charlie asked"at what price"... and was slipped a napkin with the amount written on it.. the couple from Belgium next to her looked at it when she opened it.. and whispered to Charlie "it would be in very poor taste to barter that price"... it was 15k.. a STEAL for a Grand Champion .. and that 's how Wokman came to Hawaii.. of course no other show was ever without Wokman winning the Blue..... then came Koa..his brother's were here on this island too.. Koa and Pua were inseperable.. when Pua passed.. Koa sat in the Driveway all day until i would have to carry him in .. he was like that for 2 weeks .. broke my heart..when i had to leave him home during the day ... (first time in 10 years).. he tried to chew the door hinge off... we both were pretty beat up from Pua passing.. thier temperments were so mellow..and they actually were happy and exstatic to go to the vet.. sheez anyway bringing back more great memories.. thanks man.. here's some old shots of when Koa and Pua were pups.. 3 months old koa is the black face horse coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 In honour of Slai's sexylicious pic, I present you with my new Casio Baby-G Shock! The three watches I'll be wearing: Rolex Air King from Silix. Hublot Big Bang Aspen from Narikaa. And mostly the Casio Baby-G from Amazon. I don't need a watch to work out, but maybe you are like me -- you NEED a watch on your wrist. Doesn't feel right, otherwise. Was saving this Wristcheck for Monday, but hey.
