Today I was able to move my left arm in a circle from down at my side, to over my head. Maybe I'll be able to ride soon.

Don't you also do a zillion push ups per day? I need to get my reps up, but I started focusing more on pull ups recently. All I ever did was chest and shoulders in high school, I really neglected squats, and leg and back workouts. So I always hit those up if I can make it to a gym.
i used to go to gyms, and used to powerlift, but i've found that i can use bodyweight exercises to accomplish any realistic goal. my fencing practice covers legs pretty well. i used to want to be huge, now i just want to not be fat like most of the guys my age and be able to keep up physical activity for pleasure when i retire (around 55).

Today I got back from England. It was awesome. Conversion rate of usd to gbp is ****ing terrible though dudes. Also: bars close at like 11 every night, and the cheapest pints are usually about 3.80 pound...i.e. about 5.80 usd. Bad news.

Today I survived my first week of classes/third shift work. Sort of on a normal sleep schedule. And now to actually enjoy myself for a few days.

heh, lately i've been doing the 'deck of cards' routine (380 pushups in about 45min) every other day and 1/2hr on the rollers about 3-5 times a week.
i used to go to gyms, and used to powerlift, but i've found that i can use bodyweight exercises to accomplish any realistic goal. my fencing practice covers legs pretty well. i used to want to be huge, now i just want to not be fat like most of the guys my age and be able to keep up physical activity for pleasure when i retire (around 55).

I hear you, I think it's funny when people get really massive but lose a lot of their flexibility and agility. I can respect people who get big but stay quick and fast, but a lot of times it just looks unnatural. People weren't meant to be that muscular.
So far today: woke up 15 minutes before I was supposed to be at a work meeting (sloth mode). Made it from my bed to the meeting room in 25 minutes, that's from K-town to Cal State L.A. for you Los Angeles folks - my personal best.
Currently helping two of my students order some bikes. YES.

Well, I mean it is pretty bad. If I lived there I'd have to practically double my beer allowance.

I'd love to sell them small scale, the only problems is that the holes need to be drilled accordingly, as I'm sure all frames are not the same, and the frames need to be drilled too. When I get a new chain(old one is no longer long enough and I don't have any spare links laying around to throw on there <_<), I plan to do some real testing. try and get a straight 50-100 miles on it nonstop. I'm definitely not worried about the strengths of it. The actual track ends are 1/4 inch 7005 aluminum. The bolts and hardware fastening them are 3/8 inch zinc plated, heat treated steel, including external teethed lock washers. The bolts go through the frames actual drop out, and through the derailleur hanger hole. I had to drill the non-drive side drop out to add a hole, it shouldn't add any structural problems, or the manufactures wouldn't have done it on the drive side, haha. depending on how the testing goes, I may actually start selling them.
my main concern is the bolts loosening with prolonged use. I'm going to see how the lockwashers do, and a hefty amount of loctite.
thanks for the compliments guys.
