Listen to the Dalai Lama
Category: gungagalunga
Carl Spackler (Bill Murray): So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock.

So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver.

He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga.

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me.
And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know."

And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice!

Have to Write Something
Category: hodgepodge
A year ago I was squatting on my third set a 135#'s for twelve reps, yesterday on my fourth set I squatted 255#'s for eight reps. It's safe to say my legs are getting strong. But what the fuck is the deal with my upperbody? The other day I made it up to the 65# dumbbells for 6 on my third set of a flat bench press, which is about 25#s heavier than last year. I think I should try to work those upper muscle groups twice a week for a shorter but more intense workout.

Even though I'm somewhat in a calorie restriciton I'm still gaining muscle which is good to see. Over the past four weeks I've been able to gain 1.5#'s shedding 7.63#'s of fat while losing 6.5#'s overall. 14 more weeks to go from Monday, and 2 weeks until I begin the 2006 Body for Life Challenge.

I just got an e-mail from my buddy who is loaning me his bike for the Tour de Cure and I guess it's on so I will be continuing to collect pledges. Iif you want to donate or pledge for my ride let me know. I think I'm well conditioned for the 33 miler but I'm still debating the 66 miler (which could turn into a 4-5 hour ride if at any point during the first two hours I get pooped). But you never know, I've been warning people that I may double their expected pledge, although it doesn't seem to bother people because it's for a really good cause.

All right that's it. everythings going pretty good... the weather's been great, I feel great...I'm doin kind of shitty in managerial accounting (c-ish) but so far I'm in the high A range for statisitcs. Which is the exact opposite of my scores in undergrad. But I got a little outdoor office setup on my deck under the big umbrella so I can enoy the weather/pool day or night so I can study hard and not have to be stuck in the house.

I think I'm goin to Hyde Park, NY then NYC for the first weekend in July. Should be a good time.

I've been gettin really stoned lately and I think it's time to back off for a while (but the white diamonds are back). Case in point I had to open the spell check to figure out how to spell "little." Not-to-mention the laziness that it brings when you can't coherently do anything but drool down yourself.

But anyway, I heard this tune on the oldies station and felt, well, old. What is a tune from the eighties doing on oldies 104?? So I'm putting it up their for you'll to listen to and feel better. Now, get outside, get some exercise and if you need someone to show you how to take care of your bike, holla!!!

It's time to feel good.

Love, MrDT

the front delts play a major part in the press movement as well.


I usually use the ball to rock out the ab work but never really tried it for chest. I give it a whirl sooner or later.

It seems though that my lowerbody has many more fast twitch muscle fibers than the top half and thats why my legs respond so well to the weight stimulation. If I keep it up for a while I think my upper body will catch up. It's just gonna take a good amount of training for years.

What're you doing for back, triceps, and core? Building those as well as chest would be good for boosting your bench/dumbbell press #s.

Also I find that half the battle with dumbbell press is stability. If the weights are stable, you can focus on pushing them straight up. One thing I've tried in the past that works pretty well is switching from a bench to a large exercise ball for a couple of weeks -- do the dumbbell presses with your feet on the floor and the ball under your middle back -- it really forces those stability muscles to wake the hell up. Try it for a few workouts, say 2-3 weeks, then go back to the bench and see if there's a positive difference.

Good luck....!

69 dude
It's times like these that I am reminded of Bill & Ted and when that movie came out I had no idea what 69 meant. I really didn't uinderstand the full meaning of it til me and my ex got extremely passionate and just rolled around the bed grasping each other very tightly while giving the other a lot of pleasure. I can now distinguish the true side by side 69 as oppossed to bottom/top 69, which is more of a yin-yang.

But anyway, I'm watching the Girl Next Door on the split screen and I think Eliisha Cuthbert, also star of of the now Fox hit 24, is one of the hottest women of the world. So in honor of my 69th post I would like to present you with pictures of Elisha, a women I would like to 69!!!

WIth love and super high velocity, MrDT

"The Girl Next Door" is amazing. I still don't get how you play a porn star and don't do frontal nudity. I know a few lucky people on the set got to see her nude. There is that scene where they show all the gorgous back boob. I'm not going to say what I would like to do to her I'd even be happy if we did a 68 and she owed me one. I'm also not going to say what I would let her do to me. She is amazing plus I think she is a good actress. I think like Kiefer Sutherland she might be from canada but not sure.
lilho - 06/07/06 18:09
okay, its fine if you wanna check out those pics on your own time, but dont post them here. thanx.

joshua - 06/07/06 16:38

jason - 06/07/06 12:47
Yeah, she's the dream girl.

It's in the Numbers
Category: percentages
I've been going over a few of the calculations I made when I started lifting and eating better through the numbers I took yesterday and I'm pretty happy. I've done them with a trainer but I think the Omron hand held body fat analyzer has to be a little off.

To throw a few numbers at you:
On March 22, 2005 I was about 215#'s and at an unknown body fat level. I estimate around 28-30%.

Over the next six months I participated in two back-to-back Body for Life 12 week challenges. And as of October 1st I was 169#'s at 13% Body fat.

Yesterday (Friday June 2nd) I hopped on the scale at 209#'s and measure 20.2% body fat. Last Monday (a week & a half ago) when I started a sixteen week body fat shedding cycle I weighed in at 213 and 22.1% body fat.

So to throw a few more numbers at you:

209 @ 20.2% body fat =42.22 #'s of fat or 209-42.22=166.78 lean
169 @ 13% body fat = 21.97 #'s of fat or 169-21.97=147.03 lean

If I subtract my past lean body mass from my present I come up with how many pounds of Muscle I put om from Oct. 1st to June 2nd, roughly 8 months:

166.78
147.03
19.75 #'s of muscle

Holy impressive batman!!! 19.75#'s/8 months= 2.47#'s of muscle per month. That can't be right, though. Everything I read would contradict those types of results. But you never know. if you look at my initial numbers you'll see over my first six months as I lost weight I compromised quite a bit of muscle, which is why I wasn't successful. So I believe I gained this muscle back quickly as I started eating my maintence calories again. Due to the innaccuracy of the body fat analyzer I used, about 4 of those #'s of muscle don't exist and another. And the rest I would say I put on threw proper nutrition, proper supplementation, hard consistent training and a routine that continued to evolve improve and change.

As far as my goals go, at the end of the next 14 weeks I want to be at a body fat percentage of 10%, a tough goal my trainer insists.

If you take my lean mass and divide it by 10%
166.78=10%*(x)
x=16.678
And add that to my mass:
166.78+16.678=183.458 or GOAL WEIGHT
209 - 183.46 = 25.52 #'s of fat I need to shed

This is such an important number to know because if try I just try to lose 25 #'s I could compromise muscle and once that starts to happen it gets harder to shed body fat. Not only that but now I can take the numbers and breakdown to the day the number of calories I should be eating. Fun isn't it??

So anyway, here I go again. and remember I'm always here for those who need a little push into the right direction.

Love yourselves as I do, MrDT

Holy Shit
Category: school
I was in class tonight sitting in the back row of auditorium type seating, when my teacher was passing back papers. He dropped off mine and checked out my laptop, which displayed the solutions for the text. He started buggin and I thought I was done for. He was like, "where did you get that?" with this horrible look on his face.
And I was like "it came with the book." Then he flipped my book closed to check out the cover. And he was like, "how did you get this?" to the instructors copy of the text.
Then somebody else in the room shouted, "I have one too."
As I remarked, "ebahhy," with my heart racing and my face must have turned some silly shade cause I felt a ton of blood rushing to my head.
Then one more person came foward and said that they had one too. And he was like okay and walked back to the front all huffy.

well anyway, I'm still kind of worried about it. after doing a problem on the board he said, "we'll ask the guys in the back of the room if I got it right."
And I was like, "right on, Brother," with my thumb up.

My ethics are kind of blurry on this topic. he assigns homework, but doesn't collect or grade it. It allows me to understand the chapter with out having to go through it all . Am I cheating??? It kinda feels like it

All right kids that's enough.

I'm leaving you with a continuation of Confession's, enjoy.

Love you, MrDT
