Completed a 'light' version of Total Body 3 this morning. Two working sets of what amounted to just a bit over warm up weight. ** Point of interest ** After over 10 straight weeks of training, it's time for a de-load. So I will be taking a break, not in the gym, for a week or so. Plan to be back at it 1st week of Sept. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Speaking The Truth ~ I often hesitate to add the above as it seems so many folks just don't want to hear it or believe it. My wife has some very serious gastrointestinal issues for which she is 'treated' by a couple of specialist. Several years ago, during an appointment, one of them was offering his 'advice' on a helpful diet. He mentioned that "IF THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS WHITE SUGAR & WHITE FLOUR, I WOULDN'T HAVE A JOB" ! Changed my life right there. Been better ever since. A-Jay

IME, our life style is a reflection of our appearance. That includes, body mass index (BMI). The attached video is 20 minutes or so and contains 10 aspect of 'fat loss'. It has been my experience, that each one is an important part of what for so many, is a big Puzzle. Collectively, THIS is how I effectively manage a healthy diet for myself. If you are serious about the above, I would encourage you to commit to the lifestyle required. Perhaps watch & digest this video in pieces. It's not magic but it all matters. Good Luck. A-Jay

How about we exchange the Mono with FC . . . . Just for the 4 out of 5 bassheads who recommend FC to the bassheads who use mono. Wait, what now ?? A-Jay

I simply refuse to respond to this thread unless it at least 10 degrees below zero with nipple deep snow. ? A-Jay

Nice ~ My days of running that style program are a bit behind me. No doubt super effective just a little too much injury risk for this OG at this point. And the warm up is Everything for me. I need to have a decent lather going in order to feel 'ready'. Heading into the Home Gym right now. Keep grinding my friend. A-Jay

Congrats on what might be your first but perhaps not your last TW Order. btw - That Tremor head has been very good for me. 3/8 & 1/2 oz and ALWAYS prefer the long bill. A-Jay

I love my wife, I really do. But I cook purely in self-defense. She knows it too. ? A-Jay

Nice Smallie ~ Congrats on the new Personal Best. A-Jay

Spinning gear ~ A-Jay

Besides doing the hanging and pulling work you've seen here, no. I used to do some traditional stretching but stopped because it never really proved beneficial. I wasn’t any better doing it than not. However before every workout, I do perform a complete warm up. Seems to serve me well. A-Jay

Total Body 2 this morning. There's always a certain amount of this in every training session, however this morning we were at about 7.9 on the grueling scale. Additionally, made an improvement on my weighted pull ups. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

You're welcome. Depending on the environment (loud or not) the hand gestures can play a big role. Understanding that the dogs don't exactly understand everything I say, the hand gestures convey the message loud & clear every time. As time went on I figured out that the pups are usually keying in on what I do and how I do it, far more then what I 'say". A-Jay

Sounds like Iggy's a quick learner ~ The two most valuable deals we ever teach any of our pups is "Wait" and "Leave It". Wait includes a 'sit' and happens several times a day in many different instances; at every door (we go through first), before we cross any road or street and just about anytime we need the dog to stop what he/she is doing and take a breath. Invaluable, IMO. Leave It can be a life saver. Keeps the pups from picking up and eating bad stuff, gets them to stop chasing the local animals,(Deer, snakes, toads, porcupines, skunks) you get the idea. Instant compliance is ALWAYS rewarded with treats (we just use their food) and we have it with us at ALL times; especially during the 'training stages'. Having pups that are willing to please makes this pretty easy, but high prey drive dogs can go 'red' pretty quick so it usually takes more time and a determined training philosophy. The successful results are fun & gratifying. This is a clip of "RD" a 10 month old red Malamute that we fostered. He was deemed "Viscous & destructive" and "Unadoptable" - not what I found. After 10 weeks with us and we placed him in a great home. A-Jay

As a somewhat frequent bait seller here in the BR Flea Market, it has been my experience that prices can vary wildly from bait to bait or lot to lot. Not a bad thing, just that baits can be 'worth' more or less to each basshead. Seems that goes for tackle as well (rods & reels). Pre-fished baits in 'good condition' usually sell quickly with prices set @30% of the MSRP. Prices over @50% or more often take longer. This is a Flea Market after all. If I really want to move items, a price that reflect that is helpful. Vintage or collector baits are a separate deal altogether. The equalizer is the 'shipping'. Both Buyers & Sellers often factor that into the overall price per bait or lot. Really comes into play shipping rod tubes - ouch. I use USPS Flat rate Priority for bait lots, it's just easier for me. Make the labels at home - Click & Ship. btw - PayPal Rules. Good Luck A-Jay

Yup ~ I don't do it often but when I do . . . . . It's an Extra Large Stuffed crust Pie with x-tra cheese, Portabella Mushrooms & Italian Sausage. A-Jay

Good Looking Pack ~ My pack never sees the inside of my rig. But keeping these guys in the topper was no walk in the park. A-Jay

Modern medicine is remarkable. And so is the human spirit. Stay Strong my friend ~ Dee will need that from you. ? A-Jay

Sorry to hear that. Resting something and still training, has rarely worked well for me. Usually just prolongs the healing to a point where I simply just stop training altogether and let my body focus on healing. Hope you can be back at it soon. A-Jay

After a scheduled day off and a day on the water, I was back in the home gym. The convenience/importance of which, can not be over stated. Pumped out Total Body 1 with last working set shown here. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Yup. Tides, inlets, shifting sand bottom channels are a completely different animal. Rapid, uncharted and unexpected depth changes are common place. Also, and you probably already know this, USCG channel markers/ buoys can and often do, MOVE during heavy weather. Channel marker Position checks post storm are routine. Never happens on plane though. A-Jay

Not sure ~ But knowing Depth on plane can't help me navigate safely. Sort of like driving down a road full of big pot holes, At highway speed, and looking for them through the floor of your ride. Might be a little late at that point. A-Jay

Yup ~ Never understood the need to know depth on plane. Rather know what it is before I get there. It's called mapping. A-Jay
