The cubs have one of the worst bullpens ive seen them have in a long time.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 31, 2010 -> 03:24 AM) Am I going to lose respect among the great White Sox fans of this message board if I date a Cubs fan? Nope, my gf is one.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 30, 2010 -> 05:51 PM) Oooh, how I love the smell of BO after Plyo! BTW, today is day 72 for me. Where is everyone at in their program? day 51, core syn.

So the Bears decided to get rid of Alex Brown and keep Tommie Harris. So f***ing dumb. Brown has been one of the most consistent players on the entire team and you want to keep a lazy overpriced injury prone waste?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 30, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) The key things that came out of SOX: 1. SOX 404 - Companies had to attest to there control environment (read up on COSO to learn more about the Control Environment) and the auditors than evaluated the controls as well and issued an opinion on the controls (much like we issue an opinion on the financial statements). 2. Public Accounting Oversight Committee - The audit firms actually got audited by a public department (in the past they were peer reviewed). Those public findings are documented and failures can become public knowledge (thus impacting our business). 3. Management had additional responsibility and the answer "We didn't know about it" wasn't good enough. You forgot something: $$$$$$$ for software companies.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 30, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) Yeah, I was thinking the B & B is going to be an entirely different workout for me from now on...although I think you may be underestimating what the bands can do a bit too... Nonetheless, I am excited to find out tomorrow and next week. I only have 3 bands and it seemed like I didnt have the full spectrum of what I needed. With the adjustable weights, its much easier to tailor the workout.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 29, 2010 -> 07:13 PM) Just busted out Chest & Back for the first time with dumbbells. There were only a few exercises which utilized the weights in this routine, but it was nice to do them with weights instead of bands. I must say though, I prepared myself well with the bands. I was able to do 12-15 reps of all exercises with 45 pound weights, so I don't feel too bad about myself for using the bands thus far. Great workout though, although the dive bombers still whip my ass. The back and bi's and shoulders and arms are killer if you really work the weights.

Wow, sorry about your loss, I've lost all of my possessions in a fire before and I know how devastating it can be. Would you be interested in the Buehrle perfect game poster that the Sox sent me?

MISTAKE!! Wait..does this make me the lone top 10 poster without a badge? Score.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 29, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) What kind of weight are you currently lifting in the curling exercises for Back & Biceps, for instance? I usually start at 30ish and end up at 20 depending on the exercise. IN the strip sets, I end up with 10lbs and cant lift my arms.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 28, 2010 -> 09:07 AM) Rock, I've been searching craigslist for some dumbbells for months now. Would you say there is a dramatic increase in results from bands to the dumbbells? I do like what the bands offer, but I think I would like some weights at the very least, for some of the exercises that the bands are not ideal for. Found a pair of Powerblocks on craiglist for $200 that appear to be in pretty damn good condition. If I can get him to come down to $175, I think I will bite... Resistance exercises are 100% harder. Its not even close. You will love it.

The grass is always greener.

We havent had a chance to see him much in CF in spring which sucks. And to me, this looks like upping his value for a trade to be honest. He would be included in any major transaction most likely.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 07:26 PM) Yeah, I will definitely share with you guys what the program I design ends up looking like. We're all going to need something, so we can bounce ideas off one another and see what works best. Downloading them as we speak http://www.kickasstorrents.com/one-on-one-...1-t2959110.html

B&B was especially tough tonight, tried to start with too much weight on the 21's.

Huet is terrible. Wow.

Why didnt I discover how to make it in America sooner. Great show.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 03:54 PM) Oh and thanks for the replies everyone I've been meaning to get to specific responses but my powers out so I'm posting from my phone. Anyways I decided to confront her about it. I texted her and am awaiting a phone calll shortly. Basically I'm gonna play the blame game on her. I guess that sounds bad but I don't want to come off as controlling. I'm basically gonna say oh I just couldn't believe a person like you would give a scumbag like him the satisfaction af any sort of response and go from there. I'm pretty certain she's just doing this to try and make me feel jealous or something, so I figure ill just turn it on her and make her feel bad for treatting me like that. Ah thats good. If she starts defending him then its time to worry.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Only 107 games. And to be fair, the Sox didn't plan on having Everett DH or play nearly that much throughout the entirety of the year. They wanted Thomas to get healthy and be a big bat from the right side of the plate, and he was that for about a month, and then he went down again. Everett was basically the backup plan and depth off of the bench. Besides all of that, it doesn't justify the Sox using the DH's they are. He played 135 games.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) Just ordered the One on One series, thinking of ordering Insanity, too. Starting to think about designing a long-term program for after I finish P90X, and I figure the more material I have to draw from the better. The feedback I've seen on insanity is that you lose a ton of upper body strength but lean out quite a bit. I'm thinking you need a hybrid.

Hilarious article about why Titus should be kicked off the team. The comments at the bottom are the best part because nobody agrees. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/368607-...d-off-the-bench

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) Did you read the first Amazon comment though? Dude says after he drinks it he gets a tingling feeling in his face....Hah....a bit extreme for me... Ya, that was weird. Those workout sups do that to you, I remember popping some caps and hitting up my cell-tech and feeling that tingling all over after chugging it. Gave me a huge pump and about 15lbs of muscle though.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) That Jackd stuff looks a bit too insane for me! I drink a Muscle Milk Light shake in the morning, with a banana blended in if I have one around. After my workout I drink a shake made from the ON Whey protein. Otherwise, I try to eat lean sources of protein like tuna, salmon and chicken. Ultimately, my goal was not to add a bunch of bulk, but instead to just get an overall tone, kind of like the swimmer's build or whatever. I've reached that point now, so I am pretty happy, but I would like to bulk up my arms a bit more, so I may have to increase the intensity of some things a bit. I think its basically like No Xplode which is a bunch of creatine etc to give you that size and pump while you workout. I guess if you want to just add a ton of muscle its a good thing to put into your diet.
