Do it. I use my wife's old pair of clippers from when she was taking cosmetology classes. I've either cut my own hair or she has cut it for the last...I can't even remember. At least 10 years. I can't believe my brother pays like $20 a pop every time he goes to a barber.

Plus I literally cannot do one dip on the bars i'm practicing those by doing bench dips at home. What are flies?

Good stuff man, keep going upward. Flies are a kind of lift that works your "cleavage" in a way, haha. Instead of pressing, you hold a light dumbbell in each hand and bring your straightened arms together over your chest, then bring them back down and repeat. Like the wings of a butterfly.

Dips are better for overall strength than chest press, that's what I heard. So I start with dips now.

But in the big picture, don't neglect your back. I work my back much more than my chest now, because I focused on nothing but chest/shoulders in high school. My back seriously got neglected, and back strength really helps with a lot of things, including appearance.

protip: deadlifts.

Thats what I was thinking, until I realized the #2 guard isn't in my damn box. Its literally the only one thats missing. Maybe #3 will be ok. If not, I hope my friends' neighbor will accept payment in form of sexual favors, because thats the only way I could actually pay her.

Scrodzilla 10-23-12 06:56 AM

I can't even recall the last time I got a haircut. :lol:

I always used to cut my own hair, though. The last time I went somewhere and payed for a haircut was over 20 years ago.

jpsawyer 10-23-12 07:39 AM

I dont think I have ever paid for a haircut. When I was young my mom would cut my hair and ever since its either I do it or I find some cutie who is willing to do it for me for free.

NateRod 10-23-12 07:42 AM

AYHSMB I pay other people to cut my hair. I don't want some crazy looking lopsided business going on on top of my head... plus barbers and stylists have to pay bills too.

That said, it's been over a year since my last haircut.

jimmytango 10-23-12 07:43 AM

For the last ten years or so I've cut my own hair. I usually do the "grow until it's annoying then buzz/shave" routine, but I think I'm actually gonna have someone make it look good for once.

Today, I need a new pc. Mine is all sorts of ****ed up, thanks to my wife trying to make it faster with spyware removal programs that actually just made it unusable. It's close to four years old, and was outdated when we got it, so I don't feel bad about just getting a new one.

Today I am building wheels for a certain forum member. Actually, Angie may end up finishing them this afternoon because I have a ton of other repairs to do today.

Dixie Gentleman 10-23-12 09:48 AM

stuck out in the gulf for 14 days so thats basically my two week routine..

LesterOfPuppets 10-23-12 09:54 AM

I HATE those contraptions! I hit 'em a couple of times in Circuit Training class and it was awful. It did make me appreciate riding real bike more, however.

So I only do rowing machines and jumprope for the cardio phases from here on out.

TMonk 10-23-12 10:09 AM

yeah those things are tough, as are trainers.

i have a trainer but i HATE riding that thing, so much so that I would rather not get a proper warmup at a race then use one lol
i use it mainly as a stand for my bieks when i work on them lol

Did my first commute in the rain this morning and manage to do a 18.3mph avs on my 8mi commute with the new 42/17 setup. Can't wait til its nice out so I can see if I can average 19mph.

Wow, you must have been spinning pretty good, and have practically no stop signs or signals on your commute route. Lucky! I average about 11mph on my commute, but that's limited by having to stop at so many signals and slow down or stop at a bunch of busy 4-way intersections.

What route did you take to get to Galveston? I've ridden to Surfside from Houston (super fun ride), but never to Galveston. I've tried to get to Clear Lake before, but couldn't figure out how to avoid Hwy-3, which looked way sketch to ride on.

hamfoh 10-23-12 02:29 PM

I took hwy 3 almost the entire way, then cut over to 45 and went over the causeway. way back was super sketch on the overpass before the causeway, massive gaps in the road, had to go into CX mode
