Did anyone else NOT workout today? what did you do instead?

[Howard]

I was going to work out but ended  up sleeping until 1 pm , messing around with the wife and watched a bunch of TV. Saw a cool movie called "the Siege" and ordered a pizza around 10 pm. Got the large thin crust feast style from Domino for 12 bucks.
Good day overall , seriously. I'm gettin out of the cave by friday...maybe not if it is hot?

[wes mantooth]

[Howard]

Update , just took a dump and now regret the pizza fast. My butthole is on fire .

We had Pizza as well, but from a local pizzeria.  Before I ordered it, I caramelized my own onions in butter as to have ready when the pizza was to be picked up.  As for the day, I played Saints Row 2 for a while on Xbox 360.  I checked the mail and four books came, three Isaac Asimov novels and one Gore Vidal novel.  I will start on the Vidal novel tonight as I have finished reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle`s complete collection of Sherlock Holmes.

I`ve been on and off of Getbig all day as usual of course.

I started to do a little work outside, picking up limbs, sticks and finishing my archaeological digs on the property, but it was just TOO Humid and TOO Hot.  So I then came in, and read about Formal Gardens for a few hours as we are adding to ours, Boxwood, Privets or Holly to join in another area.  I also read an hour on exterior Primers and ordered a few paint samples from Ralph Lauren.  The same paints used at Thomas Jefferson`s Monticello.

I also walked the Greyhounds with Jezebelle. Not too eventful as it was just entirely too hot outside to do anything remarkable.  Tomorrow is supposed to be 10 degrees less, so I will be outside for certain tomorrow completing my projects.

Technically I still could go work out downstairs and do my chest or something, and I may, but so far I have not.  I will update this if I decided to make the plunge.

Sounds like it was a most satisfying day.  Many times men of wealth waste away in a state of utter worthlessness.  I'm glad to hear that you're time is being spent in most intriguing pursuits!

Fixed.  Great movie!

The only training that I find it easy to make an excuse for missing is legs day.  I still try my best to commit to regular legs training though.  I know that once my squat goes up that my deadlift will go up too.

TA - I'm sure a lot of people would praise the quality of the Sherlock Holmes series but I think I would find it boring to read to be honest.  I find that with works from that period.  I mainly read non-fiction.  Actually, pretty well exclusively.  You have motivated me to take it to the next level and strive for a higher deadlift.  Also, your points about getting rid of unnecessary fat is advice everyone should heed.

[Roger Bacon]

I generally read non-fiction only too.

[The True Adonis]

Ok, so I went downstairs and did chest.  HEAVY Bench Press, Incline and then some DB Flyes.  I guess this thread no longer applies to me today. 

[The True Adonis]

Now I am eating some Greek Yogurt and will take a shower and then off to read.  Is this what Twitter people do?  Updates such as these on a constant basis?

[The True Adonis]

I generally read non-fiction only too.

I read both as I find just about anything fascinating.  The real problem lies in information overload- Not enough time to read enough books.


Matt C,

Since you enjoy American History a bit, I suggest reading Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis.  It won a Pulitzer and is very well written, yet quite entertaining.

Arent you the guy who is continiously wining for being fat?

I think you would be rather pleasantly surprised if you read Sherlock Holmes.  Its not dry at all and is high adventure really.  Holmes is truly a getbigger as he ALWAYS makes all around him feel inferior.  Each story is basically a PWNING to Scotland Yard and to Watson.  Try it out, I think you`d like it.

Also, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was the FIRST BODYBUILDING JUDGE ever at what was known as THE GREAT COMPETITION, so this is bodybuilding related.

[The True Adonis]

One of his promotions was the first bodybuilding contest, called by Sandow the "Great Competition," held on September 14, 1901. Sandow made it clear that mere bulk would not win the contest; proportion and symmetry of muscular development would be the keys. He was one of the three judges; another was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the physician-author who created Sherlock Holmes.
Staged in the Royal Albert Hall, which had seating for 15,000, the Great Competition not only sold out, it created an immense traffic jam and hundreds of would-be spectators were turned away.

[The True Adonis]

Off to bed I go to read and sleep!  I will have one final Pepsi Max before bed and call it a day.

Does Olympia even draw 15 000 today?

[CalvinH]

Thank God for TA cuz howie is boring as shit.

[MB]

Does Olympia even draw 15 000 today?

The Orleans Arena holds about 7,000 people.  That is even too big for bodybuilding.  Half the audience is watching from the big screens.
