    If cats were as big as cows they would eat you.

    You don’t have to use scare tactics with me. They sleep in the barn around my place.

    That’s right Grayscape- but only after a little fun “playtime” of catch and release.

    If cats were as big as cows they would eat you: They have a name for those. Bengal Tigers. If you’ve ever seen one up close, your jaw dropped.

    I went to the zoo with a church group when I was probably 7 years old, and I can still vividly remember a lion in a cage lifting its leg and pissing all over one of the kids. Funniest thing I ever saw.

    Unruly Refugee, I saw a couple stuffed Bengals, their shoulder were even with mine and I’m 6-2. And they had lots a sharp shit hanging out of their mouths and off their feet. I was impressed.

    I saw a cougar the near my house a couple years ago. I’m not too worried about my house cats.

    I’m 6’3″ but you probably bench twice as much as I do. I do physical therapy in my living room with a “Chuck Norris” Total Gym XL. Gave my Weider Gym to my son after I tore a rotator cuff.

    My dad had some great tiger stories from the time he spent in India during WW2, Burma too. I have a picture of him holding a bear cub they adopted after the mother was shot.

    Unruly Refugee, I think it’s called age. It’s bad news when in the morning it’s easier counting the parts that don’t hurt. I got a few shoulder issues myself. Seems like knees and shoulders had a few design issues. You know you are in trouble when you get out of bed in the morning and it sound like a bowl full of Rice Crispies. Snap, Crackle, and fuck you. But, it’s only pain so what the hell. Just keep moving forward. Did I just type that? Shit

    Man you whippersnappers don’t yet get it yet. Snap, crackle & pop is a good thing. The sound means you are actually moving those joints. (smile)

    At least you have competent doctors in your state. The ones down here are the equivalent of pig veterinarians. I had some good doctors when I lived in L.A., some of the best in my opinion.
    Round here you are lucky if you don’t end up in the morgue after a doctor visit. And the best hospitals are in Little Rock, staffed with racist negros who will steal your wallet while you sleep.
    It really sucks. I just want to die in the mountains away from it all.

    Unruly Refugee, Glad to hear your benching 205. LOL. Remember that story about that dumb ass Pizza guy that gave Obama the big bear hug. He was a lying son of a bitch. Here’s why. He claimed he was still benching 350 lbs. No pumper would say that shit. The bar weighs 45lbs. Plates come in 5, 10, 25, 35, 45 lb. increments. So he might bench 345, or 355, but he wasn’t benching 350. And a pumper would be specific. Bench press is the dumbest and most damaging exercise ever invented. Do I do it every chest day? Hell ya. Cause I love the shoulder pain and need another reason to drink. Good night. Pray for our boy tomorrow.

    Unruly Refugee, post script, one more thing. Doctors scare the shit out a me. I don’t go. They keep insisting on shoving some damn tube up you know where. Not gone happen unless they buy me dinner and kiss me first. But I do understand what you are saying. I hope we meet in Montana some day.

    Depends on where you get your plates. I still have some 7-1/2s and 2-1/2s from a dumbbell set with standard holes.
    But anybody who would hug 0bama is a complete asshole.

    Have a good one.

    missed your post. Montana is my daily goal, it’s what keeps me going. I don’t go to the doctor unless I have to. No flu shots, no check-ups. Just surgery or to set broken bones, that’s it.

    Montana or Bust!!!

    @Bad Brad… I have 2 1/2 pound plates. The guy could have been maxed out at 350. It could be a bs claim on his part, but it is possible. I’ve rolled jiu jitsu with some skinny guys who were incredibly strong, so it’s hard for me to judge strength from looks sometimes.

    even steven: Any big guy puts 2 1/2 pound plates on an Olympic bar is going to get laughed out of any freaken gym I’ve ever belonged to. The last 2 gyms I’ve had memberships at did not have 2 1/2 pound plates (if you want to call them that). Pumpers go by percentages. What percent is 5 lbs over 350. Answer, insignificant.

    even steven, I’ve rolled jiu jitsu with some skinny guys who were incredibly strong,

    Here’s a little secret. Pushing heavy weight does not mean you are the strongest guy on the mat or in the ring. Seen some little skinny assholes myself that were damn impressive.It’s all core strength. I lift weights cause I just like it. I like the pump, I like pushing heavy weights. It’s just my thing and I’ve wrestled enough talented people when I was younger to tell you it doesn’t mean shit, that is until your neighbors have something heavy that needs to be moved.

    I realized my cat was trying to kill me when it would thread itself in and out of my feet as I was walking up and down the stairs. L’il bastid!

    @Bad Brad… my gym is in my basement (olympic plates, smith machine, bench, dumbbells and kettlebells that I scored dirt cheap at a moving sale!). I like the smaller increments in weight increases mostly because I work out alone, so I don’t have a spotter. I hear you on the core strength… very true.
