Just pay the gold to turn off xp gain in battle grounds. Then you can keep that rogue at 29...unless there was another nerf I'm not thinking of.

You'll enjoy the mage - it's nice not to have to be all up in the stuff every fight. End of clutter.

Nope, that is the one. Yeah, been tanking so much since we are in TOGC that i have not gotten back to him....think i am done with him tho now that duel specc came out and I can DPS with my tank. Why have 2 DPS toons =)

And the mage is awesome...would love to level that and change mains.

80 Troll mage (Majickal) and 80 tauren druid (Moomajick) on wildhammer lol

Mages are wicked, I have a relatively low gear score compared to the rest of my guild (cuz I'm not in raids often enough due to lifting and eating and wife things) and top the dps charts regularly.

And Anticor, the nerf is that all characters with XP turned off in BGs get grouped together so twinks are forced to fight other twinks.

Ok fellow nerds, back to the lifting :-D

That stuff is hardcore huh?

[Sean]

Yeah...pretty good stuff. I miss my old school but this one will do until I can get my budget all setup and talk my wife into letting me join the Gracie school down the road.

[Sean]

Last night was chest/tris, here are the highlights.

Warm up treadmill - 10 mins.
Flat BB Bench - warmupx135, warmupx225, 8x275, 7x315, 4x335, 15x225
Incline BB - 225x7-9x3
Incline hammer - 115 each sidex8-9x3
DB flys - 45x8x3
Decline BB - 225x7-8x3

Dips - bodyweight x as many as possible x 3
CGBP - 225x1x4 (this was way heavy for some reason,prolly the benching..lol) 135x2x7
Lying tri ext (EZ curl) - 90x6-8x3
straight bar tri pull down - 60x8x3

Also did something for tris that i saw someone else do. You lie on an incline bench and put the DBs on your chest on thier side ends and grasp them then just tricep ext them up off your chest at an angle..then place back down on your chest on the end, rinse repeat..make sense? works well and I like them cause you can go heavy and really feel it in the contraction.
50x6-8x2

Finished with 25mins of elliptical.

[Sean]

Have a chiro appt before the gym today, my back is still sore from back day last week. Hoping nothing is wrong but it seems to have a "twinge" to it when I get up from a chair or sit down...and standing for a bit of time is bothering me too, makes it feel like it is tightening up.

Oh well, after chiro is back day. If it is something back will just do upper back stuff and not dead heavy.

How much is it costing you now? And how much for the Gracie school?

Free now thru a thing worked out between some blackbelts,a purple belt, and a blue belts and a church. Dont have to go to church to do it but they have a whole MMA type school going on..kinda cool and it keeps kids off the streets. Us "older" folks do the BJJ 2x a week.

Gracie is $150 a month for up to 4X a week

Guess which the wife suggest I choose...but comeon, it is a Gracie, like the Gracie sons come there and actually teach 1x a month.

That is not bad when you consider most people are paying $50 to a regular gym (non MMA)...4 times a week is perfect too

I was casually training for awhile (twice a month?), had access to a BJJ guy, nice set up out of a local garage. He got alot of his fighters on some cards at the local Indian Reservations, he charged you nothing unless you got on the card, so it was a great set up for me as I got experience and training for free...But now he opened a gym in Pasadena and is charging like $125 a month or something......

So yes, $150 for Gracie Jujitsu is a deal

[Sean]

Yeah..great when they have a chance to advance the art but sucks when they start charging =)

My buddy trained with him like 3-4 days a week for well over a year....he got hours of priceless experience for free....They live about 45 miles from me, so I couldnt get down there much, otherwise I'd have been there everyday.

He had a 4 car garage with mats and all the latest equipment.

Funny story about my friend who trains with this guy
:
He's long time good friend, a little Phillipino dude that I have known since the 7th grade. We went camping recently he got wasted, big time...
He started running his mouth all day saying he was going to take me down later when I least expected it and make me tap out in some shape or form.

Well it got late, I'm old now and so I decided to crash and I went and laid down in one of the tents while all these fools kept partying away (there was at least 12-15 of us)....Next thing I know I hear my tent being unzipped and a bunch of fvckers laughing and trying to be quiet as I see their shadows all outside my tent...

So I sat up and kicked off my sleeping bag and just in time for my friend to come thru the opening of the tent like like a tree being thrown on top of me. LOL, he landed right on me but his momentum carried him over me and he hit the floor pretty hard.

In the same motion I twisted over him and was about to put the squeeze on him when I realized he was putting up no fight, in fact, he was lifeless!!!
After closer inspection I found he was OUT COLD!!!!
That fvcker knocked himself out when he tried to jump on me by going face first into the ground...LOL and it had cushioning under the tent too, still knocked him out....

Just thought I'd share that story as it goes down as a classic already over here. It was hilarious because it wasnt the first time he has been knocked out since I have known him and since we were kids we have made fun of him having a "glass jaw"....

[Sean]

That is hilarious. Drunk folks are good for hours of entertainment =)
