6 New Family Members Help Us Name Them !
Naming the Puppies - one of my favorite parts of dog ownership ~ You could go with famous Country Music stars - Like Reba, Shania, Dolly, Elvis, Toby, Brooks & Dunn, Hank, Merle, Wayland, and Don't forget George. Or you could go with a Movie Star Theme ` Like Bogart, Brando, Clark, Denzel, Grace, Helen, Humphrey, Marilyn, Marlon, Meryl, Rachel & Sophia. Or perhaps you could do a Military theme, Like, Sergeant, Chief, Colonel, General, Major, Ranger, Lance, & Gunny. So many options . . . . . A-Jay

I Got Fat!
Recently had a conversation (in a pm) with another BR member on this - this is what I sent him. I follow a plan and have been for a long time. Besides some Running, & Biking, the majority of the Plan revolves around Resistance Training. But over the years The Plan has changed. But each plan always has the same three basic objectives – 1). It will always be safe – Over the years I’ve busted, strained and basically jacked up just about every joint I have in one way or another. So there are exercises and movements that I just can’t do any more. Fortunately, I’ve been able to train around this and still be fairly effective. I do not push myself too hard and always leave the Gym feeling like I could do a little more. The Energy I do not expend in the Gym will be utilized to Grow and Recover. I never want to feel like I'm Surviving my training. You'd be surprised how Less Is More. 2). It will always promote Functional Strength. My days of lifting buildings are over but as long as I can still move myself around and do the things I like to do, I’m happy. 3). It will always be LESS than 20 working sets and never exceed 70 minutes from beginning to end. By limiting the amount of work I do and the time it takes to do it, I keep from over training. I use a stop watch and time between sets is usually close to 1 minute and rarely more than 2 minutes. I have found that this work load and time frame has allowed me to get the most bang for the buck. I built a small home gym. It’s very convenient. A Powertec Leverage Machine and a set of D/B’s up to 50 lbs. cover my needs well. I train first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I will have a pre-workout energy drink upon waking then train 30-45 minutes later. I have a protein drink when done and then eat breakfast 60 minutes later. I start each workout with a 10 minute warm up to get some blood pumping and to wake me up. For the past few years I have been utilizing 2 separate workout plans that I switch back and forth from every 3 or 4 months (12 – 16 weeks). One is a modified total body work out and the other in more of a traditional style plan of breaking up each work out to train different muscles on separate days. I do very little in the way of Isolation exercises, sticking with the basics has simplified things and proved successful. Body Weight Exercises are also incorporated. I Always workout One Day On followed by One Day Off – I never workout two days in a row. Each workout might strain different muscles but my same nervous system is being taxed each time. By taking a day off, I just do better. When I feel I need it – I take TWO Days Off. Something that I've never taken for granted is that I had a career where Training & Exercise were not only promoted, they were a Job Requirement. Once retired, I just had to find a way to keep it going. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. A-Jay

The Road To The Super Bowl
As a NE Patriots fan ~ there have been some real Highs but more recently, some real Lows. But yesterday's last second come from behind win at home over the NO Saints was definitely a High. This wasn't Brady's best performance. But his 17 yard TD pass with seconds left will go down as one of the most memorable regular-season throws of his career. His eight-play, 70-yard touchdown drive in only 1:08 will go down as one of the best drives of Brady's career. A-Jay

Giants Are 0-6 ... What To Do With My Winter Now!
To the OP - As a Pats Fan - I would have certainly traded the season you're having now for a win in either (or both) of those Super Bowl. Enjoy your season As for RG3, he will have a couple of seasons to prove himself in the NFL. It's not like I dislike the man, seems nice enough, but based on what he's done so far, I going to say that after these first few years, if he's not crippled, he'll be someone's back up QB. A-Jay

What To Do?
That's unfortunate - but the disrespect you've directed towards your father is misguided. If you are mature and responsible enough to be hired part-time as a cashier at Harris Teeter, where you are responsible for someone else's money, you can certainly accept responsibility for and keep track of your own personal documents. Experience in life is just a long list of things we learn; sometimes the hard way. A-Jay

Good Game last night ~ Love seeing the Cards win, but enjoyed watching LA Blow it even more. Hope you guys do it again tonight. I have a feeling St Louis will find Kershaw a little bit more hittable in this one. Good Luck A-Jay
