Wednesday 25 Sit-ups on Steep Incline 25 "L-Sit"esque Leg Lifts 25 Sit-ups on Steep Incline 25 "L-Sit"esque Leg Lifts Then only climbed 167 floors on the StairMaster Thursday 25 reps incline bench press @ bar weight 12 reps incline bench press @ 95 lbs. 10 reps incline bench press @ 135 lbs. 8 reps incline bench press @ 135 lbs. (Surprised this is much harder than the flat bench press I guess since this uses shoulders more and my shoulders are not as developed) Climbed 34 floors on the StairMaster (to make up for falling short of 200 Floors on Wednesday) 15 reps machine shoulder press (side grip) @ 30 lbs. 10 reps machine shoulder press (side grip) @ 40 lbs. 8 reps machine shoulder press (side grip) @ 50 lbs. 15 reps machine shoulder press (front grip) @ 30 lbs. 10 reps machine shoulder press (front grip) @ 40 lbs. 8 reps machine shoulder press (front grip) @ 50 lbs. Then ran 5 miles at a faster pace than usual. Completed in about 45 minutes with no slowdowns or breaks. Cooldown with slow walking for about 5 minutes. Woooooo

This is great to see a lot of different styles of photography around here. It's awesome. I have a small handful of photos I took awhile ago in a studio environment but they are "Not Safe For Work" if you catch my drift. They are, however, meant to be artistic. If you're not 18 or whatever, please don't go poking around here. I do want to share these; just not with those who shouldn't be looking at these. http://global-trance.com/post Feedback welcome.

Haha... crazy. Lizz we have the same camera and we're also practically next door neighbors. How coincidental. Also good pics!

Jesus Christ, you guys.

Thanks for all feedback so far! I know there are more artists here that make electronic dance music of all styles. Don't hesitate to send me something if you think it's worthwhile. If I think it's great, I'll playlist it. More people download and listen than I realize.

Awesome. Welcome newcomer! Hey Steben, how much are you running these days?

Interesting site with a nice showcase of your art. Only thing I'd nitpick at the site is the fonts seem to be a bit inconsistent throughout. You might want to have a nice consistent font and tweak some of the alignment for a somewhat nicer flow. Other than that, it's not bad.

Nice ones Po! I am particularly drawn to your interior shots. Good angles and interesting things to capture. I'll have to dig it up. It might take awhile!

Light snacking is healthy for you assuming you are exercising. More meals at smaller portions is where it's at.

If you don't do cardio much, you just might need a bit more rest. I find that the body can adapt to cardio-respiratory training the fastest. Just keep at it and you'll be fine. As for handstands... they aren't easy... and they're more about shoulders, back, and core... not chest.

Yea I've bought two L glass lenses which were about the same price as the camera body. It's ridiculous. Also I threw down $400 for just the external flash by itself. I think I will be investing in a macro lens next once I decide I want to buy new camera equipment... Macro lenses, as awesome as they are to use for tiny objects, also give interesting results in modeling shots.

Worked on the arms today and then did cardio. Barbell Bicep Curls 12 reps @ 30 lbs, 10 reps @ 50 lbs, 10 reps @ 60 lbs, 5 reps @ 80 lbs. Barbell Skullcrushers (Triceps) 12 reps @ 30 lbs, 10 reps @ 50 lbs, 10 reps @ 60 lbs, 5 reps @ 80 lbs. Climbed 200 Floors on the Stairmaster right after. Edit: Also just bought me some rings. :D :D :D I can't wait to destroy myself with those.

At first I was dreading the release of this game but now I'm surprised to see it shaping up to something worthwhile. It looks like I'll be investing into another Silent Hill!

lol You can have partial credit for this one. Full Image A one minute walk from my apartment in Santa Barbara gave us this photo op. <3

Hey nice work Katsurugi. My favorites are Egyptian Exhibit and Snow Recliners. And yes, I'm into photography as well and it's a very expensive hobby. You said you spent $500? I've spent $5,000. *_* However, the more I spend on this hobby, the more I feel think it's worth it. Here are a few of my faves I've taken. The rest can be found at http://global-trance.com/ under the photography section. I wish my hobbies (DJing and Photography) weren't so expensive. My physical fitness interest is starting to get expensive too.

Yea well hold on I am working on something. And yea, Zircon and FFMusic DJ would probably like some more feedback. They were kind enough to give me advances of some stuff related to their work and I usually take that sort of stuff with an open mind. I've heard some people are JUST starting to realize the FFMusic DJ remix is from Kingdom Hearts II. I thought it would have clicked a little sooner considering we're all gamers around these parts... but I guess not.

Okay I'm here for Weekly Check-in. I kinda don't want to re-iterate the stuff I've been doing but here's a quick rundown. All resistance training is numerous sets with usually heavy weight. All runs are 40-50 minutes. Weekly Check-in Monday One Hour Resistance Training Five Mile Run without Stopping Tuesday One Hour Resistance Training 200 Floor Stair Climb (via StairMaster Equipment / Approx 4.6 Miles) Wednesday One Hour Resistance Training Five Mile Run without Stopping Thursday One Hour Resistance Training 200 Floor Stair Climb (via StairMaster Equipment / Approx 4.6 Miles) Friday Half Hour Resistance Training Five Mile Run without Stopping or Slowing Down So I'm feeling pretty proud of myself that I've been hitting long distance runs without stopping immediately after an hour of heavy resistance training. Now all I need is some rings...

MGS3 was FANTASTIC. Go play it!

A question about getting those training rings... I was wondering if it matters how far apart the rings are? I want to use them on a playground or at my gym but I don't know how wide apart I can get the rings. If they are too close it just seems like they might not be as effective... or does that not matter?

Glad to see everyone like it so far. Post more comments! I know there are a lot of people that get this and don't post!

Abs don't show up unless you trim the waistline.

Well I mean firstly, carbonated stuff is bad for the bones. The extra sugar in soda is also another bad thing to put on top of it. You're better off with water, juice, or sports drinks (while you're exercising). The occasional soda is okay, but man, pounding several cans of soda frequently at a time just isn't good for you. Caffeine is also a diuretic so you'll have to urinate more frequently which can lead to dehydration.

What kind of soda's are you drinking? Carbonated drinks erode your bones by stripping calcium away. Edit: Thanks Vivi for the link and reminding me to get me some ring training going on!
