“I just have a few more pushups to do”

I love the gym so much. Last night, I’m doing a barbell complex over on the Olympic rack when this happens: “Oh hey, what’s up?” I don’t look over, unsure if he’s talking to me, sure I don’t want to talk to him. “Yeah, man, I’m just at the gym. Lifting some weights. Heavy weights.” [...]

Russian Baby Makers

At least half of the reason I go to yoga is to do hip stretches (and work out the IT Band kinks). If I don’t have time to yoga, I will almost always do bound side angle, dragon, and pigeon after working out to keep myself limber (occasionally, if no one is around, and it’s [...]

Compliment or Insult: Bar Edition

Today, let’s take Compliment or Insult outside of the fabled Aspen Club gym and into a little basement bar we like to call Escobar. It’s where Brooke Mueller got arrested with like five ounces of cocaine “for her friends.” It’s a Tuesday night, and Nappy Roots has sold out Belly Up with $15 tickets. I am [...]

I <3 Red Black Gym

Y’all know I like my workouts to look like play … Nature’s Garage Gym was my own personal playground, and then I did workouts on an actual playground. Well today I got to return to my roots at the Red Black Gym (nee SicFit) with the 1:15pm class with Big Mike. LOVED IT! Warmup: lots of [...]

HCG Diet Day 7

Technically, this is the 5th day of the diet part of the HCG Diet. The first 2 are loading, and the more I don’t eat now the more I wish I had eaten then … an oreo brownie? a BeauJo’s veggie pizza? Chocolove chocolate bars are on sale? Man I could have eaten all that [...]

Here’s My Ankle

Because I love injury photos … Bruises look so nice a few days after whatever happened, huh? I’m really mobile on the ankle, went for an hour and a half walk yesterday and felt great. Woke up sore this morning in the ankle, but nothing a little MSM and ibuprofen can’t handle. Laying off the [...]

Around the Fitness Horn: Naked Celebs?

Urgent Goal = Success (or why Anna Paquin is so hot–because she’s naked on True Blood all the time). What is my urgent goal? More to come on that. “It takes no talent to be in shape.” Read more football/life advice here. Fitness Is … yep, this is why we all do this This makes [...]
