I've been wondering this, but why are you so obsessed with being a strong man now, elfer? I mean, were you always so focused on getting built before?

Thanks. I was just in a car wreck. It sucks. On the brightside, I'll probably be driving a shiny new car down to philly this year. Hell, it might even have a radio this time.
Basically my credit's great, and I just got my income tax check. If it wasn't for the whole "being violently stopped short in front of my driveway" part, it would be all cookies and beer.

I got it from www.ironwoodyfitness.com
Took a couple of weeks to ship. I ordered an extra spring, but I've got no idea how to get it on the bitch, I'm going to ask the people over at gripboard.

I'm not really obsessed with it, I've just found a hobby I enjoy. Everyone's got their thing, I guess.
I've always really liked grip stuff though, because the strength you gain from it is not only extremely functional, but you also gain it without gaining much mass. I never really want to be a bulky dude, just strong and in decent shape.
I've also promised myself to never let my hobby interfere with anything else in my life. I cut out half of my workout today so I could babysit our puppy and then go out to play poker with some people. I've also resolved that I'm never going to drink any sort of "shake" related to bodybuilding. I like solids.
I'm just excited that this thing showed up because grip is probably my favourite area of strength, and I've been waiting a couple of weeks for this to show up, and honestly, it's a great piece of equipment. Forty bucks after international shipping and all that, and I'm most likely never going to need another gripper.

Yup. I got to keep my license, though, so it's probably not going to be too bad.

Dude, if I actually did that with full grip strength, it would most likely cause an unpleasant injury.

when i was in a car wreck, i put my station wagon into a couple of trees three days after i had gotten my license, but since i didn't really do any damage to myself or my friend, and only to my car, the coppers didn't issue any tickets and i got off scott free..and then last winter i was pulled over for speeding in vermont (apparently their roads are usually 50mph, not 55mph like here in NY) i was going 65 and was issued a $125 ticket, but since it was in vermont, nothing was done to my NY license and my dad paid for the ticket since i was driving his van and all. so again, i got off scott free ^_^

Just checking. It's just like all your posts are about working out, so I was like... woah there! :) It's good to know you're all about the health and hobbies though. I'm happy you've found something you like.

All my posts in this thread are about working out because it's really the only random off-topic thing I have an interest in that I'm inclined to discuss on the interwebe.
My only other stories from this past week are "I baked a giant cookie" and "I stole a bunch of bottled water from the government".

Those shakes you refer to are mostly for those who are seriously into getting bulky or want to gain a lot of muscle mass. If you just want to tone your body, don't worry about it, although good nutrition is always important. Even if you were to bulk up, you would still require solids and the shakes are like an "add-on", not any kind of main course. Basically the reason people take supplements is the high amounts of amino acids, vitamins and minerals your mucles need and there's less damage to the muscles during workouts. You could do it all natural, but it would require a lot of money and a lot of food to get just the right amount of nutrition to bulk up. Again, that's IF you were to bulk up, but in your case you sound like that's not what you want to do so a shake isn't necessary.
Anyway, I found the best tip ever is to eat a banana before any kind of workout, which includes running or pumping weights and drink a good amount of fluids. If you've ever experienced any kind of muscle cramping, this pretty much fixes that problem.

I just got some pretty bad news about my sisters. Aparently they are doing something that will damage them mentally and surely have a negative affect on their abilities to function in society as decent human beings.
That's right, they're using myspace. If I ever find the pusher who got them hooked on that shit I'll fucking kill him.

On another note, I've developed a really bad infection in my leg and had to have a shot in the ass. Then Walgreen wouldn't give me my damn perscription because they felt the need to lie to me multiple times instead of just admitting they're not competent enough to get their computers to work. Then my brother tried to convince me that I shouldn't be mad that they intentionally wasted my time and lied to me, once again proving that he's a fucking floormat.

It's the Canadian government :/
Not to mention I eventually used the water for government services anyway (hydration of citizenry at government facilities), so it all balances out nicely.
