  1. Hey High on Rock, Wow....glad to learn that you're doing as good as you are, and it's cool that you have such a positive attitude! I appreciate your account of what happened to you and your friends at Vantage, and I've no doubt it will challenge some climbers to think more about safety of themselves and others. I always look for methods on how to do things even more safe at home as well as at work. As a matter of fact, I'm going to re-read the Belay Section in my Freedom of the Hills book tonight. Thank you, Bud! Mend up quick and here's sending you healthy. healing, good thoughts! Heh... I pretty much thought the same thing, John.
  2. WHOA! Unique and spectacular indeed! What a magical and blissful day!! Thanks for posting those exquisite photos of Waddington, Ms BadAss. No way I CANNOT be inspired... Holy crap....I"M ON FI-YA!!!
  3. *I* can only handle so much at once, Pete. I'm going from a small 24x24 cabin where my winter outdoor recreation was to ride my snow bike on mushing trails.... to a luxury guest house nestled in the midst of granite and well drained soils.
  4. BTW Ivan, did you see your like the top TR contributor on this board. You're not new, are you?
  5. There ain't nothing wrong with going down in a blaze of glory, Ivan Ho.
  6. Biggest, baddest sleeping bag I own... I know it went it the sack before... Almost....got....it...stuffed....*pant, pant* Packing tonight to Zola Jesus is fitting....
  7. Tonight I take the red eye flight from Fairbanks for my first trip down to my new home, LEAVENWORTH, WA!! I absolutely adore my magical, blissful, adventurous life... I'll still work in Alaska on the North Slope with a 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off schedule and fly home to Leavenworth! There's even a shuttle service for only 60 bucks round trip. A HUGE THANK YOU to all the super Central Washington resident climbers who graciously helped in my search of a new home and who went out and looked at places for me. I'm one lucky gal. I'm so stoked to get back in the Cascades Mountains...there's no place like home. The best is yet to come!! WOOHOOO!!!
  8. Cool a logic problem! {Premise 1} Women with Ivan are dishonest {Premise 2} Wookie is honest. Wookie never lied to Ivan! Oiy...
  9. 'bout sums it up for every woman i ever met You haven't met me, Bud. I'm probably too honest and direct......that's probably a big reason why I'm still single.
  10. Hey Sobo! IMHO I think it's AWESOME about your new job! You'll meet tons of cool folks! Do you get a tax free salary while you're there? So exciting! Stoked for you, Bud!
  11. Thanks! That was an excellent post, from wherever it came...good points. And didn't anyone else think, "Burkett Boy" was funny?! It made me chuckle....(but also a compliment).
  12. This regime definitely allowed me to make progress, and as noted, unlike Burkett Boy, I cannot retain lean body mass as well as he does so I have to be more creative, but I'm glad the Gym Jones/ Mark Twight approach works for him. Hey, but I ain't first ascending shit...but that's not my goal. OK, I do see now I need to kick my ass harder and become more of a machine! But the below system really has gotten me leaner and stronger yet I'm still feminine. And I work 12-14 hour shift days 2 weeks and STILL train--and my job is somewhat physical. I'm up at 1:30 am, meal prep, work, lift weights, bed, repeat. Pauline "exposed" on T-Nation And as you can see, she is very much feminine and sexy.
  13. I think people are getting aerobic and cardiovascular exercise confused, but this thread wasn't meant to start an argument or ruffle anyone's feathers. If folks have a great fitness regime that works for them, and advances them toward their aspirations in life, then RIGHT ON! That's what it's all about! Actually, I wasn't clear. No, I did not throw up TODAY but in the past I have when I did some super HIIT sessions with wind sprints way beyond lactic threshold and into the anaerobic energy pathways. Today was just an average cardio workout and not even close to nausea, but I do sweat up a storm no matter what.....eew. My average HR was 158 today according to my monitor, and i was at 183 max. My RHR is about 45. Like a lot of folks here, I don't settle for mediocrity and give 100% of myself in any challenge. I don't partake in activities to prove to anyone but myself, and I've learned what works best for me. But I'm always willing to discover new tools or a better approach. I'm really excited about my current protocols, and it's cool to see my shoulders getting more shredded. I'm getting closer to my current fitness goals like never before and am seeking to get my Pro Card for the National Physique Committee (NPC) by 2015. But it never stops; each day I seek to be a better version of who I was yesterday. I'm still not where I want to be.... My overall goal in life is to be a positive influence on everyone I meet...and I love this quote: "If I made you smile, then I've done my job." Peace, Peeps!
  14. John actually does raise a good point. And thanks G for pointing that out. It's all good! And, to be more accurate, for ME it would be counterproductive to do a cardio sweat fest and then lift very heavy. When I do cardio, I have made myself throw up I go so hard....and I am truly an animal in the gym. I just got done with 60 minutes of the step mill with my HR at an average of 158 BPM and then to do a killer quad workout would not work since I just used up most of my glycogen stores. And, while I have different goals, I am trying to add mass for certain event this fall. And when I coach people, we do look at their lifestyles, the body types, and get very specific on what they are setting out to accomplish. I'll PM you later with some thoughts. G. Thanks!
  15. Well, your signature says that you're mean to dogs. Hey, good for you for getting out despite the challenges. Right on! But sorry to learn that, Bud. Really am. Here's sending you the best thoughts I possibly can, DPS.
  16. Thanks, GP. Do you do much working out? Training definitely keeps me SANE during Alaska winters, and I admit...I AM INSANE in the gym. I hit delts only 1x/week & they have their own day-- trying to get them bigger for more of that hour glass figure. They will get some work during chest and back days. I'll change the workout a bit next week. I may do cable lateral raises instead of DB. Current Split: -Delts, Abs -Glutes/Hams/Calves -Rest (cardio only) -Chest/biceps -Quads, Calves/Abs -Rest (Cardio only) -Back/Triceps -Active rest -(Repeat) Weight routine: 4 -5 nights a week (~ 45 minutes) Cardio: 6 mornings a week 45- 60 minutes--sometimes it's 90 minutes but I've been training a LONG time and worked up to this) My Training Heart Rate = 145 - 160 BPM; my RHR = 45 BPM (I have a Sportline HR monitor) I NEVER do cardio and weights the same time. Counter productive. In the summer, I'll be more outside and cut back on cardio, but I'll lift still. And, folks will say it's 80% nutrition and 20% training. But I learned that's it's 100% for both, but I'm intense. I'm pretty opinionated when it comes to training.
  17. Geezus, DPS, what the hell happened to you?! I noticed those short little legs on your dog in the photo--impressive for the little guy. You didn't kick him the whole way, did you?
  18. You better rest up after that, Bud. (but you can probably climb a hell of a lot better than I)
  19. **NOT FOR BEGINNERS** I just had a kick ass delt training session and fried them! Love sharing a good workout. I believe keeping them strong and flexible-- good range of motion (yoga, Pilates, etc) helps a great deal with preventing injuries. I periodize my training something like this: (1) strength, (2) hypertrophy, and (3) endurance/cardiovascular. I'm training for strength this month so reps are low, weight high, but you can adjust. Warm up (ALWAYS warm up!): -Cable external rotation 3 sets x 15 reps -Cable internal rotation 3x15 -Bent over horizontal DB rotation 3X15 Workout: -BB Standing Push Press 5x5 -DB Lateral Raise (Heavy, some momentum) 4x6 -Standing Alternating DB Press 3x8 -Seated Arnold Press 3x8 -Incline Bench Rear Delt DB Raise 3x8 -Front Plate Raise 3x 6-8 Rest between sets: 60 seconds Rest between exercise: 90 seconds Post Workout -Moderate Stretching 5 minutes -Supplements: Glutamine+BCAA, whey isolate. I dunno, personally, I love to read about a new workout, so maybe there's ONE person here who can benefit from this........maybe. Peace.

    Ha! OK, that's what I thought! Wait...ALL your post have value, IMHO. Besides, this is "Spray." Valuable comments are optional.

    And some pretty profound contributions at that. Fuckin' A. But nothing wrong with a good old American sausage fest. I pretty much work at a Fest of Sausages. Umm...I thought you were a female, too, Minxie?
