Shartnado

Especially since they've had matches against each other and you can clearly see they are not "the same size". It's hard for me to estimate HOW much they differ in weight, but clearly Drew is the larger individual of the two.

Hold up! Did that Chit-shu just take a shitzu in Shotzi's Tank(zu)?

Ok, the week isn't done yet, but I'll update anyway. The morning jog/ stair climbing has been good. I did it Monday to Thursday and it takes about 40 minutes each time out. Today, I need to save my legs for the trapbar so I'm typing this, instead. Three workouts so far. Monday and Tuesday went almost normal despite the severely slashed calories, but Thursday's bench felt heavy af, but I managed 5x220, 3x242, 1x264, two sets of 3 with 275, two sets of 3 with 264, 6x242, then 8, 10 an 6x220 and 22x132. All of this felt hard and uninspired, so I did end up eating way more during the day. Still, as we've noted before you have to eat huge amounts of food if it's mostly salad, vegetables and lean chicken. Weight went as low as 184, but it bounced back to 186 this morning due to more carbs yesterday. No huge calorie-fest on the weekend, either. More chicken and boiled potatoes to go through. My usual strategy is to go brutal for the first 3 weeks to totally shock my system, then ease up a bit (on the weekends) for the remaining 5 or whatever weeks. Right now, I'm at the least fun stage, as the "jacked" just left town and "ripped" hasn't yet arrived. Cardio has been fun though. Blasting synth-wave and 90's Euro Dance or Techno makes jogging turn to actual running from time to time. And those stairs are awesome! I hate them! ...Ok, and now the trapbar is done. I managed to get 5x357 without the help of Versa Grips then 6 (or 7, I lost count ) sets with 451, getting 3x3 and 3x4 in whatever order. I'm not sure if I go for the morning jog on the weekend, but either way, the first week went well enough.

Yeah, this was definitely gonna happen.

Ok, so for reals the diet started this morning. The weekend did put a few pounds of fluids into me, so I'll be starting from 191, which is definitely the highest I've been at the start of any diet so far. I have this unflattering coat of water retention and excess fat on my abs, but otherwise, I'm not sure if I've ever looked this jacked before the actual diet, so that is encouraging to say the least. I went for a walk/jog/run before breakfast and went to jog the flight of stairs I mentioned previously. I did that 3 times and headed back home, so 3 miles (5km) and about 40 minutes. I don't have all the ingredients yet for my super breakfast oatmeal, but even with 75-80% of them, it is energizing as hell. Still need to get the whey protein, soy lechitin and wait for the avocados to ripen, then I'm set. Soon, I'll start on boiled potatoes, chicken and wok vegetables and that will be my lunch for a couple of days. After that it will be a large, high protein salad unti Friday.

Hell yeah! I don't quite know where I'm at on that one, but since I can't get 155 clean overhead from a shoulder level, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to repeat what you just did there! Way to go!

If you have an option of doing (weighted) dips that could be a possibility, although they are not too easy on the wrists, either. But you could also use two heavy resistance bands and do push downs while on your knees on the floor. Sort of lateral bench press but using the bands. Should be a lot easier on the wrists. But as you suggested, try the weighted push ups first, then the other suggestions if those feel bad on your wrists.

I'm guessing the babyfaces would go to those segments to show that they are not by any means intimitated by the heel host and perhaps make them look like fools by coming up with quick comebacks to the heel's insults? That would by probably make them even more popular with the fans. Now on the other hand heels would probably take any chance to make faces look like dumbasses even if there's no chance to physically attack them. And if there was always a sneak attack, eventually the faces would stop coming... except Sting, of course.

That damn drug has sullied the good name of Ms. Holly!

They do, but kicked in the mouth by the opponent when poison rana'ing them for a two count. ...and then tapping to an ARMBAR!

He's dead though. This is not a time machine situation, for the purpose of the question I was posing, anyway. But yeah, Greene did well for himself in all of his matches.

Not only that. They never gave Luger the win back, as Yoko pinned Luger in a match for the tag titles at In Your House 2 and if I'm not mistaken qualified over him into the King of the Ring '95 tournament. But yeah, that could have been done many times over during the spring and summer of '94.

Here's a what if, or a what, anyway: What would be the best celebrity only tag team match wrestling could come up with at this point? Pat MacAfee & Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Bad Bunny & that Arrow guy? Or replace Mayweather with K-Fed? What would it be, other than a hot mess?

Nice! ...way to waste my 1000th post, but yeah...

Ok, so it's the last day before the diet starts. Weighed in at 188 lbs this morning, but it may have gone below that, as the super hectic work day made me skip snack and lunch. Due to that, I said fuck it and skipped todays workout as well. That's 4 workouts this week and it was going pretty damn intense, until today kinda ruined it, but whatever. The supplements arrived yesterday, but I won't start on them until Monday. This Monday was a full upper body workout with pull-ups, dips and reverse shrugs with 45 lbs of extra weight. Chest flies with resistance bands, plus push-downs, shrugs and lateral raises to the side. Some light curls and other light stuff in between sets. Tuesday I did some overhead press with dumbells as well as incline bench press with dumbells as well. Used the same weights to do some hammer curls and dumbell rows. Lateral raises and curls between sets as well. Wednesday was a legday, squat machine loaded to somewhere around 400 lbs. Some stiff-legged deadlifts with the pair of 70 lb kettlebells. Plenty of calf raises and squats. Thursday was bench day. I tried to fool my body by doing 5x132, 5x231, 3x264 and then tried to do 297. Well, I did it halfway, and another quarter rep, but had to leave it at that. Then I took it back down to 275 and did 2 sets of 3, then 4 sets of 3 with 264. Then 11 reps with 231 and 10 with 220 and 30 with 132. I did light lat pulldowns (88 lbs) to the chest in between sets. Today was what it was, but I think I did fine regardless. I'm not super stoked foŕ the diet as of yet, but I'm sure once I get going it will be ok. 188 lbs is pretty high for the usual starting weight, but I thought I was going to be even heavier. I guess not. I may update my profile photo , once I get a decent shot.

Looking at the back to back Bloodbath's at Judgment Day, it's kinda funny that JBL was in both of them. And looking back on it these should have been the matches where he both won AND lost his WWE title. It would have told a better story and these are the matches that people remember, not the actual title changes.

Oh man! That's horrible. He talked about his doctor telling him to cut back on the hydration a while back. This is really sad and unexpected news. RIP OSJ!

Damn, that's a bummer! I hope it ends up being sooner! So close, yet so far away...

Let's welcome a new addition to the DVDVR cruiserweight division : SuuuppprrrreemeeeBVE!!!!!

Ok, so Supplement talk: When not on diet, for the past two years I've basically only used whey protein, barley starch and creatine for my intra and recovery drink. Recently, I've added some arginine into them as well. In the morning (or after waking up) I take a multivitamin, vitamin D and Omega 3 (in the form of fish oil capsules). Before bed, I take melatonin, zinc and magnesium. When on diet, I have this Finnish brand of fat burner I have used for about 5 years now, with positive results. I also usually have same brand's natural testo booster (I believe it's maca-based, but it has shit-load of other stuff in it, too). I also ordered essential amino acid powder for my morning drink. During summer, on morning shift weeks, I tend to only drink the EAA before leaving for work and drink the breakfast oatmeal drink once I'm there. That's pretty much everything. A few years back I still used to spend a bunch more money, especially on amino acids, but I laid off of those for the most part of the year.

Luger had the motorcycle accident which led to the loaded forearm gimmick. He missed WBF and wrestling basically the entire '92 after his short appearance in WM8 hyping his WBF debut.

The time they spent together in WWF was so brief, they barely had the time to say "Hi!" to each other, though! Oddly enough, they were both featured on the WWF Royal Rumble for SNES where you could have them interact all you wanted. Which I did, a lot. Not to rain on the good booking parade of Razor vs Owen, I think Owen hurt his knee at Rumble and later against Bam Bam and was out of action around WMIX, which is why he wasn't on the card in the first place. Well, they might have left him out anyway, but that would have been dumb.

This phrase keep turning up in one way or another, when these trash bags are mentioned. It's starting to worry me, but at least they fired the guy sending them. Also, can we be sure he didn't actually crap in each of the bags just to be more of an asshole? Maybe leave a note saying "With warm regards, sincerely - Randy Orton"? ...and Odessa beat me to it while I was sleeping! Good job!

While this particular episode won't air in Finland for another week or so, I just wanted to point out that both RAW and SD! are edited down to 1h with commercials over here. At least as far as RAW is concerned, this should be a wonderful thing, right? I mean, if the editing was done properly.

It may very well be, unfortunately. For me, I usually get one aching bodypart feeling good again by meticulously stretching, massaging etc. only to find that some other part is now aching due to lack of attenion. And I do not have the time nor the patience to go through my entire anatomy each time out. On an unrelated note, my patience did pay off yesterday, as I was able to get a decent deal on my diet supplements after weeks of checking out the website regularly to see if the prices have gone down yet. Rest of the year I'm on whey protein and creatine as my only supplements, but for the upcoming two months or so each spring and early summer, I will usually go full blast with the supplements. Whether they actually work or not is up to debate, but they do seem to give me the extra motivation I need, especially at the beginning of each diet.
