good job for sure ,, but i still think its abit much running ,, but what do i know..i only know bodybuilding not running 

my advice,, mainly regulare bodywieight via nutrition,, yes do some cardio but 12 cardio session per week in such amount sounds like too much.,,

[newmom]

well the running season is quickly approaching, so gotta stay strong, nutrition on point..Did my first marathon, full at that 26.2 miles in  5 hour 22 minutes in October of 2009, this years goal is to run 3 half marathons, the empire state bldg run, and the hartford full marathon...

WTF are you talking about?  Why or how could anyone have a problem wearing contacts in the gym?

i feel that they might pop out from the preassure of a set, but thats just me..i guess.

Maybe hard lenses (popping out from straining during a set), but not soft lenses.

17 years of wearing them in the gym and never had an issue...besides wearing glasses can't be better...they may fog...they may fall off and break..

haha yes i hate it when they fog..

[Ursus]

haha I used to hate when it was raining and cold when I was heading home from school.

You get on the bus and immediatley they fog up. I just used to stand on teh bus with foggy glasses. Could not be assed cleaning them a lot of the time.

My glasses actually fogged today doing lying leg curls.

a guy who couldn't see too good was called mister magoo years ago after the cartoon. look it up on youtubey.

LOL did you pull out the history books?

Yeah I guess calling some nearsighted, tool bumbling around today "Mr. Maggo" it would be a pretty funny thing.   

[Coach is Back!]

I couldn't even get to the gym let alone train without them.

[Coach is Back!]

....Just to add, I'm blind as a freaking bat without them.

[calfzilla]

I have worn soft contacts in the gym for years and they have never popped out in the gym.  Way better than glasses because glasses fog up. 

   JME I doubt I would be able to get to the gym either without my contacts or glasses. 

Newmom, you are my kind of woman.   You should be a role model for other women.  I'm proud of you. 
 

Self outing: When I was younger, like 20-21 ish, I like wearing my round rimmed glasses when I worked out because Nasser did it, and I thought it was cool.   

[newmom]

thanks calfzilla...most people think im nuts for the amount of cardio I do, but I dont give two shits, I dont have the best of genetics so to keep the weight off I have to work my tail off
