It's Arm day today :up:

PS: What kind of split are you on? I used to be on a 3-day split (3 on 1 off), but now i'm on a 5-day split (5 on 2 off). I'm thinkin about going back to the 3-day.

3-Day Split. Mostly because I have limited time and I'm older now and take longer to recover than I used to be. If I was still in my twenties, I'd be training 5 days a week. I ran a chest/bi's, legs/shoulders, back/tri's config for quite awhile, but just recently switched back to a more traditional chest/tri's, legs/shoulders, back/bi's config. Check the Over 35 Journal section and you can get more info on what I'm doing.

Will do.

So I guess I should stick with my 5-day split (legs, chest, shoulders, back, arms)?

Depends on your recovery times and how it's working for you. Sometimes, all it takes is some periodization (adjusting your weight so it will allow you to run the same routine with a 3x6, 3x8, 6x3, 4x10, 5x5 or some other configuration) so that your muscles stay challenged and don't "learn" your routine. Other times, it takes moving to something entirely different or giving your body more rest than it's been getting. Everyone's different and responds to different things. If your routine was working well for you in the past but has gotten stagnant, lately, try some periodization with it and see if that helps.

I'll most likely stick with this routine for 1-2 more weeks, then switch it up.

Above all it just sucks not having a spotter. I can never push myself all the way.

The one that was trapped in a wall in a grocery store or something

It took them 14 days to get that damn cat out, because "the building is a landmark and they can't dismantle parts of it to get the cat out".

I'm sure the owner will make sure not to let the cat out again after that.

And now I completely waste another beautiful day indoors.

[Equint77]

today was a nice day.... hoe's a'plenty outside........

[NDX]

Today is an equally nice day, and a bit cooler. Only indoors because I have too much work to do.

Damn artwork getting in the way of everything...

Today was horrible

[hey yo its sean]

Indeed. Jersey was also s**t.

My cable is working fine.

[Abaddon]

Well I hope you get electrocuted.:)

[hey yo its sean]

I'm watching Rescue Me. So, in short - my cable is working just fine. :)

[Abaddon]

see my previous post

[NDX]

Well I hope you get electrocuted.:)

And I hope you never have cable again.

These past few days have been ****ed up weather wise. The rest of the week is not looking much better either.

At least it stopped raining today and I was able to have a few windows open.

[Abaddon]

weather was a little schizo today.Or rather,it was dissociative.:confused:

[NDX]

The 20 minutes it took me to get home from class today was ****ed up. It started of cloudy, then rainy, and them ended with a bright, shiney sky.

And my sculpture broke during that time, making me sad. Now I have to do a repair job on Model Magic. I hate that ****.

[Abaddon]

So you had a bad day...

[NDX]

Not really. The students I observed were pretty good and the blue's performance I saw in lieu of class was quite entertaining and relaxing. Guy Davis is a talented artist, if I do say so.

Plus before the sculpture broke, the lesson I based off of it seemed to please the teacher.

Now, I need to get a various artist Best of Blues cd if I ever decide to make last week's and today's exercises into an actual lesson.

[Colossal Spoons]

If possible, I'd spend as little time as possible in Time Square since that's where all the first timers congregate; but since it's my g/f's first time, she'll wanna see it. Hopefully we end up in the Village, SoHo, or Chinatown.

[NDX]

Ugh, Time Square is such a pain in the ass. Not worth going there. Convince her of that. Tell her it's just a lot of meaningless lights. Definately spend the day in either SoHo or Chinatown. She should trust you on that one.

I'd actually rather NOT visit the stereotypical tourist spots, so I won't mind if we don't visit Time Square. Tourist-y spots tend to be about the same in every city; I want to go somewhere fun and interesting.

Times Square is touristy as hell and there's really not THAT much to see or do there, to be honest. It's A LOT of people wandering around, gawking, and bumping into each other while they look at Naked Cowboy Guy and avoid the panhandlers and three-card monte A-Holes. There are many other things that are worth spending your time doing like if you want to see some of the historic landmarks or spend some time in the Village or something.

That's refreshing to read. Too often I've had people ask me about Times Square only to hear me tear it down to their disappointment.

[jaguarr]

It's WORSE than the monuments in DC, believe me. I hate Times Square. Go to China Town and find one of the little bubble tea places. Those are fun and they have some crazy but tasty drinks. If you're into blues at all, Terra Blues in the Village is an excellent blues club. Right across the street from it is a fantastic Spanish restaurant that I can never remember the name of. Another good place to eat is Eight Mile Creek (if it's still there, anyway). Austrailan food run by a bunch of crazy Australians. They have kangaroo if you're curious to try it, and if you go on a Sunday evening to their downstairs bar there will be a bunch of insane Australian guys down there hanging out, drinking beer and playing Australian rock and roll. Ask them to play some Midnight Oil for you and they will buy you drinks all night long! :up: The Museum Of Sex in the Chelsea is a lot of fun, as is the Gugenheim Museum. Little Italy is...well....little. Spoons has been there before, it sounds like, so you'll have a good guide. :) Have fun!

Hehe, they have bubble tea places around where I live...yummy drinks, but I hate the tapaoica balls that are in a lot of them. Thanks for all the recommendations! :)

[Erzengel]

What are you and CS looking to do? Museums, touristy stuff, broadway, or shopping?

[AndThePickles]

He's mainly the one who's planning the day out, but I know we're both looking for interesting places to go and look around....which could include museums. I dislike super tourist-y spots, so we'll probably avoid them. I've never been to NYC before, so whatever we do I'm looking forward to it.

[Erzengel]

I think a few people already mentioned the Gugenheim, Soho, Museum of Modern Art.

It's just a LOT of things you can do you might want to kinda map it out and see what things are close to each other. You don't want to have to go from downtown to uptown and back and just waste time. Like the Guggenheim is 89th Street I believe. SOHO is downtown near Canal Street over 70 something blocks. It's best to nail down what you kinda want to see.

[jaguarr]

One other strong recommendation I will make, if you have a whole day to spend there, is the Bronx Zoo. It's one of the best in the nation. :up:

jag

[AndThePickles]

Although I'm not sure if we'll have time, I would LOVE to go to the zoo....so far we've gone to the National Zoo and the Philadelphia Zoo together, the Bronx Zoo would be a great one to add to the list :)

Erz, we're definitely going to map things out....I'm not a fan of chaotic wandering back and forth in a big city that I've never been to lol. All you guys have given some great ideas, we'll just have to narrow down where to go and plan it all out. :)

Also, for Chinatown, does anyone have any specific restaurant recommendations? I love Chinese, but of course any Chinatown is gonna have a lot of crappy places to eat mixed in with the good ones.

[Equint77]

head over to Mott street.... you'll find lots of places to eat... all great meals at decent prices.

[user123456789]

Get a genuine new york city hot dog as well.

Ya know, the ones that stay in hot grease all afternoon but taste oh so good.

[Abaddon]

I like Times Square. But thats probably because I rarely go to the city.:o

[NDX]

If you plan to hit an art museum, I would say the Whitney. The Biennial should still be up, and I've heard good things about it this year (hope to go see it again this weekend). If not, MoMA is always a safe bet.

[Abaddon]

Its even better when the vendors go to take a piss with their gloves on(if theyre even wearing any),and don't wash their hands.

They're a cheap lunch though. 1 dollar and you're set.

[Abaddon]

Midtown

[NDX]

St Marks Place/Astor Place seems to have two or three.

But then again, I go to that area more for music (they sell Merzbow, that's all I need) and food that the comics (although St. Marks Comics helped me out in the past).

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm gettin dropped of at the AMC Movie Theater on W42nd. There's a Midtown shop on W40th. That definately gonna be stop #1. Free Comic Day too!

Yesterday was pretty damn fun. Midtown comics in Times Square was awesome. I'm definately gonna have to go there again over the summer when I have more cash.

Gaddamn I've been away too long. And yes, children can be very stupid.

[Abaddon]

I just think its incredibly ****ed up that a little girl had to die because of a careless driver,and a mischeivous,if not mentally disturbed, little boy.:(

[NDX]

That boy might not have the best upbringing, but I don't think that the child should me charged with neglegent homicide. Working with children, I've seen how inquisitive they can be at their age. They can cause a lot of trouble even in a room that is childsafe. What they can do with a rug alone is scary.

It is a shame that the girl died in such a way, but I think the charges should be looked at more closely.

I haven't heard, is the driver of the bus (which works for the same company that drives for the school I'm at now) being charged with anything?

[Abaddon]

I don't think at this point he is.

side note.. I went to Chicago a few days ago on a short trip and everyone there has these cheesy mustaches.. including the women. :(

what the **** is up with that?

[Abaddon]

You saw Toven?

[Maxwell Smart]

What bugs me is it seems like New yorkers are so into their own world.. I dunno I guess its due to the place being so large and an island, and plus a lot of people don't own cars they just use public transportation so maybe they stay within their own area more often than a lot of people.

You guys do come across as kinda arrogant and not really understanding of other ways of life. Not that there aren't a lot of rednecks here like that its just New York City is supposd to be "better".

[Equint77]

You saw Toven?

who knows... I saw a lot of skinny blondes those 2 days.... hell for all I know I met her. :confused:

[user123456789]

hey max that's life, now stop b*tching.

New York isn't on an island.Manhattan is.:o

I don't think the city or that I (speaking for myself) think I'm "better" than anyone else..... it's just there's so much going on around the city... that living here you experience so much that in a bad way you become jaded. I think that's what NY can do sometimes... make people jaded because there is so much to do here...

And again speaking for myself... I read a lot... A LOT about the history of the city so when I talk about my home I talk about it with pride. NY in the beginning was meant to be a trading post.. not the "greatest city in the world".

That seems like a reasonable explanation.

[Maxwell Smart]

And I guess I'm kinda jealous you guys have your own thread.

I saw and its like "oh well there they go again, they have to talk about how great they think they are, they have to have their own thread...". Ya know?

lol... if you read the posts... you'll see that it's a lot of talk about what's going on in and around the city...

I don't think I've read a post stating superiority.... not yet at least. :up: :up:


Besides.. Holly made a "chicago" thread and no one's seen it in months. Make a thread about your own hometown and see who else posts. :up: :up:

[user123456789]

i love it

[NDX]

Bastard. I'm stuck with box ramen.

[Abaddon]

[Abaddon]

I remember when I got ***** slapped by some stranger.


bwahaha,its fun looking through this thread.

[Kaleb]

Im in the Big apple now

[NDX]

Picante Beef with some leftover steak strips.

[user123456789]

Anyone know how i can go to Sixth Avenue and W 55th St. from Queens?

I usually ride on the A, C, E, F, 1, 2, 3, and 7, but I am unfamiliar with this spot.

[NDX]

Looks like you might be able to take the R to 5th Avenue and 59th St. and hoof it the rest of the way, although it might be a bit of a walk. I could also be reading this map wrong.

http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/maps/submap.htm

[user123456789]

They're filming right by Central Park, so according to that map, i'd have to take the Q to 57th and 7th.

[NDX]

Did you get to go, BS?

[Kaleb]

I went there today, I didnt stay for long tho, as its my last day in new york , and I had to take lots of photos and buy some presents for friends and family

[Dangerous]

One time I was in the street and got rushed by Scorpion.

take the F and get off on 57th street station.... you'll be right there.

[Abaddon]

Look what the cat dragged in.Nice to see you havent forgotten this thread.:rolleyes:

[Equint77]

huh? :(

[Abaddon]

Whatever.

[Equint77]

ok.. I have no idea what's going on.... I haven't been here since Friday.

[Kritish]

I'm scared of the subway. :(

[NDX]

As you should be.

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm scared of the subway. :(

According to Equint ,it's gotten a ton safer; especially at night. :up:

[Abaddon]

He was drunk though.He can't tell the diff.:o

[Colossal Spoons]

Heh, I don't like to be anywhere late at night. Not a subway station or even a parking lot here in the 'burbs.

[Abaddon]

I would think the only thing to worry about in the 'burbs was getting run into by a car full of drunken/drugged out teenagers.

[Colossal Spoons]

They're always lookin to fight out here. I nlame the MTV...

[NDX]

I would think the only thing to worry about in the 'burbs was getting run into by a car full of drunken/drugged out teenagers.

I'm more afraid of Billy Joel.

The Subways at night are not that bad at all. You never know who you're gonna meet. That and plus being my size people don't seem to want to mess with me. I have no idea why. I'm a nice guy, I don't kill at first glance.

[Colossal Spoons]

The Subways at night are not that bad at all.

It's the Blimpies that you gotta be careful in. And don't talk about Quiznos, got mugged there just last week :p

[Abaddon]

Going out anywhere late at night has its risks.

[tzarinna]

I'll be there Sat, staying in Times Square. So now I'm a bit worried cuz I know they'll be filming at night. But I'm not sure how far away I'll be.

[tzarinna]

These are the shoot locations (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9003313&postcount=382) are they close,will have to travel far between each one.


I guess I could try mapquest.

[Abaddon]

HOLY THUNDERSTORM,BATMAN!:eek:

[NDX]

Damn mother nature making it even hotter now!

****ing humidity.

[tzarinna]

So like I'm a little worried about boyscouT since that seems to have been his last post and he wasn't too sure about where he was going.

[Abaddon]

asians always land on their feet.:)






or is that cats?:confused:

*shrug*

I always thought Asians landed peanut butter side down.

[Colossal Spoons]

If BoyscouT got lost in Queens or Brooklyn(forget which one), I hope he made it back safely

[hey yo its sean]

It's like the goddamn rain forest outside with this humid rain/t-storm bulls**t.

[AndThePickles]

That's my main problem with the weather on the east coast......too frickin humid :(

[Colossal Spoons]

Think it's cool how this storm made its way from MD to DE and apparently now it's in NY. I though my windows were gonna shatter for a second.

[AndThePickles]

All it really did was thunder ominously here, then stop. Ya'll must've gotten most of it.

[Abaddon]

It thundered here,and it was windy and ominous.Not much in the way of rain.

[Colossal Spoons]

see, even storms don't like MD :o

Is ominous the word of the day?

[AndThePickles]

see, even storms don't like MD :o

Is ominous the word of the day?

It's obviously DE they don't like, since you're the one whose house it almost shattered :p

And hey, thunder is ominous :o

[NDX]

It 's actually cool outside, but you can't take advantage of it because it's still raining, and should rain into tomorrow(tonight) evening.

[Abaddon]

You guys should vote for Eric Draven and twin hermaphradites:up:

If it weren't for the ass, I'd vote for neither.

Hell, I'd vote for Draven anyway, but this is much more incentive.

Your vote is much appreciated.:)
