Heavy lifter amused by sledge wielding Mama..
Posted: Fri May 13, 2005 3:11 pm
Okay my SG is officially in the apartment... I am abandoning the "show this to the personal trainers at the gym" for a little while... Mainly because, as cool and great of a workout as this is, there is just something intimidating about walking up to someone with a sledgehammer, and I guess I don't *completely* want to have my new coworkers think (probably rightly so) that I am off my noodle... Somehow I don't think a sledgehammer will re-enforce my reputation as a healing therapist... I might just scare off some clients who may worry that somewhere inbetween frictioning the attachments to their scapula, and kneading away their gastrocs, I might just decide to bust some spines! Not a relaxing thought, and probably wouldn't help in the trust department... LOL
It would take too much explaining and I'm sure the vivid image of me "SG Kendo-ing" would be difficult to erase!
Don't get me wrong, guys... I am totally proud to wield the hammer
I think I'll just share it with friends who already have accepted me and my weird hobbies "as is!" or would that be, as "am"?
This guy just came to spray the trees here, and he helped me move a desk into the place... I noticed that he had very developed arms, so we got to talking and it turned out that he was a three time winner of some competitions, posing, lifting, all that stuff... He probably only weighed about 160, as he was a bit on the short side, but he told me that a few years back he injured his knee doing a squat lift with,,,,,
800 lbs!!!
Gee wonder why he hurt himself?
Anyhow, before he left, I showed him the SG and did a few chops and lunges... I wish I could have had a photo of his smirky reaction! LOL!
He seemed very amused, but I guess way too hardcore to be impressed!
He told me that now, he likes using cables.. We were in total agreement that it rocks to have an exercise tool which allows you full range of motion..
He thought dumbells were really boring too!
Have a great SG day and enjoy sssing this weekend!
Love,
Deb
ps.. I am totally recovered and now I will commence my routine at home.
My stereo is hooked up and I am ready to blast some Dead and bust some heads!
