      I hope nobody takes this too personally. I’m not calling anyone out. Just poking fun at myself and others.

        Walking lunges! When I first started weight training my uncle gave me a workout that included those. I was all gung ho so I would do everything 100%. I did three sets of walking lunges with dumbbells across the gym and back. I remember when I got done my inner thigh started pulling. Then the next thing you know I’m on the floor trying to stretch out one leg then the other as I went back and forth. The next day getting up from a sitting position was a killer.

        As for the 1×50 I like Jon but that sounds torturous. My Uncle put me on a leg press workout. He said that 100 reps on the leg press equaled 20 reps on the squat. He only allowed leg presses when I was in a heavy back cycle as doing heavy pulls and squats put too much on the back. He would allow the leg presses for 4 weeks and then back to squats. Each week you added 50lbs and you had to do them non stop. Torture!

            Al, you hit the nail on the head. I went up two weight classes since November 1st! Now that half my pants don’t fit I’m having to diet!

                      I remember when you had to order the record book and it was huge and almost immediately outdated. This is fantastic.

                          Are you discriminating against Bill because he doesn’t look like a marathoner? He knows what it’s like to be discriminated against!

                            I think the whole waiting until the computer tells us who won thing is the biggest issue. But otherwise if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

                                I wasn’t offended. His source material was very accurate and non-fluffy.

                                  But seriously I tried taking creatine and never noticed any difference. There was a time when I was young I tried everything that came out. Bought all the hype. Nothing worked except hard work in the gym! Eating square meals, getting plenty of protein and a good nights sleep.
