Here here! :nod: I would have totally disagreed with you a month ago.

Ya mother probably told you not to date guys like me how about it lol.

Hope ya toe is OK? :-s Naughty shampoo bottle jumping on it like that :smackbottom:

I'm sure you can find a more interesting life to live vicariously through on here.... becbec's seems more exciting than mine. Or... bar-belle, Vee?

As Your Other Mother I forbid you to listen to her! Weights > cardio. Word 8)

One of childhood's rules... anything your mum tells you not to do, has got to be fun, right! :nod:

i am also thinking this = praise the red meat god! :pfft: :pfft: :pfft:

[Chillicat]

Protein powder is still ABSENT. :phear: Not a happy chappy, particually since its coming up three weeks....

Is it getting sent via international post or courier? I ordered some bits and pieces on Sunday, and decided that for only US$2 extra I'd go with the courier option, so I'll be interested to see how long it takes, as it's my first order with them too. It says it'll take 2-5 days, but I'd be surprised if it was that quick. Hope yours comes today!

Hmmm yes. I was selectively overlooking that to see how far it went :pfft:

[Travel Express]

Ouch at almost dropping the weights on your head.. I'm sure a PT would of been nice and handy, had that happened to go "Are you alright?"

[bar-belle]

:pfft: ... Yeah i have a habit of doing this lately :shock: perhaps the carb deprivation is going to my head.

Hmmm yes. I was selectively overlooking that to see how far it went :pfft:

:shifty: uh oh, Whoopsies, sorry bb-mum ..... may i ask what is wrong with the assist machine? :-s

I selected international post which said 7-14 days. Sorry i don't have better news for you..... still not freakin here. I'm so over it now. So hard keeping the protein intake up without it. Coz i'm a super nice patient person I'll give it a couple more days before i start abusing them.... :pray:

i am also thinking this = praise the red meat god! :pfft: :pfft: :pfft:

[Chillicat]

So hard keeping the protein intake up without it.

Yeah, it really is. I get so much protein via protein powder, I'm sure what little muscle I have would waste away if I didn't have protein powder, as I just can't manage to eat that much tuna/chicken/red meat.

[teamfatboy]

That's the odd thing, eh! Forcing yourself to chow-down on either whole foods or shakes. I've had odd looks when everyone else in the tea-room's got their scones, muffins and sausage rolls, and I pull out a grilled whole chicken-breast.

Nice work-out, Emmzies :clap:

Very well done young lady.Did you talk to your mother lol ????????????

[rose]

may i ask what is wrong with the assist machine?

The pull-up god forgives your short-term memory because you're a busy Law Chick student with lots of words to fathom and regurgitate.

So he's just giving you another hint, because he doesn't want to send you over the edge into stress oblivion or anything nasty like that. He's actually a pretty caring, reasonable god. He was impressed by your persistance with negative pull-ups. He accepts that sometimes his flock goes walkabout in search of other options. But he knows that the good ones always come back :pray: He also recognises it depends entirely on your goals. If you don't want to be strong, assist machines work just fine. Some people are happy being weak :crazy:

"1. Avoid Machines. Machines balance the weight for you and force you into fixed motions. The strength you build on the Lat Pull-down and the Assisted Pull-up Machine won’t carry over to Pull-ups. Don’t use them."

Oh no. But today's the day, I can feel it in my water :pray:

:roll: Here is there current excuse:

"Your order shipped out on 09/21/09 via International Postal Service (7 - 14 Days) it does actually take 7-14 business days to reach your countries point of entry. It looks as though it reached customs on 10/07/09. Your order is still currently stuck in customs undergoing a series of routine inspections prior to being released for delivery. Customs has not provided us with an exact date when it will be released. It is up to their discretion as to how long it takes them to inspect your package As soon as they are done inspecting it, it will be released and shipped your way. I will go ahead and send them over some additional information to help speed up this process.

We are doing everything in our power to get that to you as quickly as possible. At this point we do need to continue to wait because it can take a max of 60 days to clear customs for delivery. We appreciate your patience and we will continue to keep you updated as we receive more information on the status of your order."

Guess its only been in customs two days....

That's a pain - but to be fair, I think that's an excellent follow up from them letting you know where exactly it's at. Wonder if my courier package is there with yours?? Hope so, and that they're nearly on their way!

[emmzies]

just what eggzachary are you importing :lol:

Yeah i was pretty impressed with their online live customer service! Its interesting to see how long it took to actually reach nz.

I'm sure we'll receive our goodies in no time now though

[Travel Express]

When my XBOX 360 got fixed, it took ages to get it back but as soon as the tracking thing said it was through "customs" it was almost instantly on my door step :grin: Suppose your protein powders.... and other illegal imported goods will be the same.

Don't worry Emmzies you are not alone I was using the assisted machines for dips and pull-ups and thought man this is good/easy...until TP (aka Steak) stepped in :doh: :nono: not allowed to use machines. And I must admit I have made improvments in my strength and reps etc and nothing wrong with gettn someone to spot you a few :nod:

By the way top effort for Thursdays workout...KUTGW (I've just discovered what that means :pfft: I must be old school :oops: )
