Minority Report...

alright guys, i started doing p90x cause i'm scrawny as hell. we wont be seeing eachother much till spring anyways. so by then, i'll have my car, Sophia, up in shape along with me. and we'll definitely be in business. i'll be checking in but between sore muscles, earning the paychecks and pre-pharm, i dont have a lot of free time.

happy holidays if i dont make it back in time for the seasons, though i doubt it

asujosh1

Fuck that P90X shit, come over here and work out with me, I'll get you ripped in no time. You always talk about how big I am, well, I was 6' 2" and 140 lbs when I graduated HS and most of the way through college. Wasn't until I got into bodybuilding that I really put on the muscle.

Razzi

i'll hit you up sometime during the second phase when i can do 15 chin ups haha

Slepybear

i've been training like a boxer for the last 3 months..
well maybe not literally like a boxer, but lifting like 5-7 days a week for about 3 months with some cardio in there too

asujosh1

Chin ups are good, but you can get fit without them. Mostly the problem is that people can't do them and without the right equipment, you won't be doing them. 15 is also a high number for chin-ups, even at my fittest I was only doing 13-14 at a shot.

The workout I do is proven to add mass provided you eat right and get enough protein into your body. I picked it up from a buddy of mine that went on to become Mr Missouri for 2004. I have gotten really fat since I wrecked my motorcycle, and I have recently started getting back to it (although not very regularly) and have already dropped 20 pounds.

By the way, if you are new to weightlifting, please get a trainer! There is nothing worse for you or your body than for you to be doing an exercise incorrectly. Proper form is WAAAAAAAY more important than weight. If you are not doing the exercise correctly, you will not get the benefit, and you might injure yourself, thus delaying your training.

When I wrestled back in the day I could do 20-25 chin-ups. Now I think I could do 4, maybe.... ugg

When I did them a lot, my elbows went to shit. Any time I would do them my elbow would ache unbelievably for a couple hrs after. I never got it checked out, but stopped doing them and it went away. It was so bad at one point that doing 3-4 chin-ups would make it hurt.

asujosh1

I don't think that I can even hang from the bar yet, my shoulder is not yet strong enough.

On another note, Jermaine, you interested in coming over to talk carputer? I would come to you, but I understand it is a long walk from downtown to Bloomington. We could meet at the MOA (or anyplace on the train route) if that is closer for you?

I am thinking about starting to build one for the civic so that I have it ready when I get the car and it would then just be about installing it.

nitropwd

lol, no need to walk. I can come out your way, but it would have to be this weekend as i leave work @ 10pm these days. What direction are you going PC or MAC? Honestly i would suggest PC as it's much cheaper for parts. I'm available anytime this weekend.

asujosh1

You know I prefer Mac, but for cost concerns I could go PC. I'll start doing some research now so that I can have some good specific questions on Sat (?). By the way, you can park in my parking space so no risk of being towed.

ek20a2

Josh were you working out at? I want to get into it, so I need a partner.

Sounds gay, but whatever.

asujosh1

I have a gym on the roof of my building. You are welcome to come over and work out with me, but I go around 4:30-5 every day. Also, plan on being here for over an hour, I do 35-45 minutes of weight lifting and then anywhere from 20-30 minutes of cardio.

Slepybear

just got a fucking speeding ticket.
i know i was going over, but he said i was going 52 in a 30, and i really doubt i was going that fast

asujosh1

Slepy, maybe you should just bring your car over here and leave it with me, you seem to be getting into a lot of trouble with it.

Slepybear

my mom is probably going to sell it.
i agreed when i got my license and the car to a series of rules that if broken meant my mom could take my license, sell my car, or do whatever she wants to.
getting a ticket was one of them. even if she lets me keep my license and car, i won't be able to afford the jump in insurance so i would have to take myself of the plan either way

asujosh1

Shit, that blows. But, I guess that is a good motivation for you to keep your ass in line. I would say you could use hourcar or zipcar, but you have to be 21 and not have any tickets to use those services...

BlackuraTL

Thats why you gotta drive smart. I look back at when I drove like an idiot when I first got my license and awhile after that which was only 2 years ago so not that long ago but I learned my lesson after gettin pulled over a few times and not getting a ticket.

Slepybear

she took it a lot better than i thought.
unfortunately since no one is hiring, i don't know how to pay for the ticket, let alone the insurance jump.
anyone interested in some comptech exhaust, mugen grill, and fujita CAI?

asujosh1

Bullshit meter in the RED!!!

Come on dude, Target is ALWAYS hiring. You could get a job at the local Dominos or something. If you want a job, you can find a job, period.

Slepybear

i've applied to best buy, circuit city, and somewhere else.
i'm going to perkins tomorrow and rainbow or cub, and i'll stop by target too..
and im staying away from fast food, last fast food job was a nightmare.

but i am trying, now im just trying harder

WannabeG

Dude that sucks man.

What i can say is, go talk to a hearing councelor dude. Thats what i did with my speeding ticket (70 in a 55) and i got whats called a 'defferal' so i just paid the ticket, and agreed not to get one for a year, and they wouldnt add it to my record.

Thats what i'd recommend.

asujosh1

I would also recommend looking for something waiting tables, but I don't know if you have to be 18 to serve alcohol in MN or not. I used to make a killing waiting tables at a friggin Chilis, and I worked at night so I could still go to class during the day.

Slepybear

i've got this girly friend, and her dad is a judge and he likes me so he is pulling some strings for me..
but i am slowing down from now on. so many things that happened were just ironic timing though..

and thats why i'm going for perkins, make some tips

WannabeG

Im gonna be working at toys r us (maybe) in bloomington haha

Slepybear

haha, thats tight.. get awesome nerf guns!

WannabeG

hahaha when you think about it, it is such an easy job though. Its mostly like, 1 parent getting their kid A TOY. You dont have to sell anything, the kids do that for you haha


And does anyone take their car to Bloomington Acura Subaru? My sisters bf works there. he used to be a service writer now hes in parts.

And the new TL is just fugly lol

ek20a2

Josh - Yea I always work till 7 at night. I could on the weekends. I would have to start off slow because I haven't worked out since high school and I have a heart condition. I want to shave some lbs, but can't figure out how since I have no time!


Let me know if you can help! I sit at a desk all day and sell shit, then when I go home I'm hungry and I want to eat. so I fuck myself because I eat before I sleep.

asujosh1

I'd love to help, when I was training for the FBI I helped a bunch of other recruits with their training and I really enjoyed it.

The first thing that I would say is to not eat within 3 hours of going to sleep, and that you need to get at least some cardio in to strengthen your heart (don't know about your condition though) and lungs. I would also recommend that you cut out of your diet anything that is fried and soda. I would say beer too, but we're taking baby steps here.

I am willing to bet that if you cleaned up your diet a bit that would help a bunch. I did and I dropped 20 pounds (some working out included). Adding in a little cardio (10-20) minutes per day is a good start to getting yourself into shape. You can also try doing some push-ups and sit-ups, they are incredibly good for you and build strength in a lot of different areas of you body. You also do not need a gym in which to do them.

If you start out with this stuff that is relatively easy and cheap to do, you will be ready to actually go to a gym soon and take it to the next level.

One thing that is important as your goal is to lose weight is to not pay much attention to the scale. Pay attention to the way your clothes fit and the way you feel, they are a much better gauge than any scale. Besides, if your body is not used to working out, you are going to be putting on muscle, and that weighs more than fat. Hell, I gained 5 pounds over the last couple of weeks, but my clothes are fitting more loosely.

BlackuraTL

Josh what the heck do you do for a living?!

WannabeG

Didnt get a doctors note for the tint

asujosh1

I'm a computer geek.

In all seriousness, I am an IT Project Manager. I run a team of developers here in Minneapolis, and the other half of the team is in India.

nitropwd

ya'll hiring???!

on the getting shape note, my situation is so fucked up i'm actually downloading workout dvd's lol

asujosh1

As far as I know, we are always hiring. If you can write .Net code, I would love to hire you. We have entirely too few people here that can actually do work, and I am always trying to augment our team, but we cannot bring on any more contract workers, which means that you would have to be hired as an employee, and that means a potential long-term gig.

But, on the flip side, we pay more than most companies around here...

marks_lude

But on the downside... it will result in more 'Target Talk' with EVERY GROUP OF PEOPLE I EVER HANG AROUND WITH!!!

Its like a damn virus.

asujosh1

Well, there IS that...

You should have come out to Maxwell's, they had $0.25 wings and I was able to get 20 wings and a beer for $10. Conversely, you should have mingled at the building party, you could have met a lot of people that are not Target-ized and actually had a conversation or two that did not revolve around what the red retailer is doing now...

marks_lude

I was partially kidding, I dont mind target talk. Infact, I hear it so much I can actually contribute.

I dont think I could have handled wings last night. After the grumpys burger and fries I had so much grease that my stomach was starting to feel it. I've been tryin to cut out fried stuff so my stomach wasnt used to that much... but damn those fries are awesome. On the flip side, we went to bed at almost 1am the night before, so we passed out before 10 last night. I got almost 10hrs of sleep last night.

asujosh1

Lucky you, I didn't get any sleep at all...

GLowrdr

I was at the old Grumpy's (now Willy's) in Coon Rapids last night. I go there every Thursday for the meat raffle. I won some tomato basil chicken breasts, and $100 playing pulltabs. Woot!!

asujosh1

Meat raffle? Is it just me, or does that sound disgusting to anyone else?
