The beard easily adds 10 pounds to the squat.

Hmmm, how things change.

Article here.

Couldn't agree more. We are now in 3 unconstitutional wars. The President must get a declaration of war from the congress. It is clear that there is no difference between this administration and the last one. It is clear that people choose to follow the constitution when it supports their interest. It is clear that congress is a joke for giving the executive branch so much power. It is clear that only Ron Paul is the champion of the constitution and would actually do anything to stop unconstitutional wars (Dennis Kucinich actually would as well). Finally, it is sad that obama (I don't even capitalize his name anymore) was once a constitutional law professor.

I would also like to add, do you know where we are going to get the money to pay for this? Yes, that's right, ben bernanke (he doesn't get capitalization either) is going to turn on the printing press at the federal reserve and counterfit the money out of this air. He's going to create inflation by increasing the money supply and soon our dollars will no longer be accepted around the world. If Japan is smart they get rid of their U.S. treasuries, and of course the FED would buy them, since the FED is already the largest holder anyways. Currency crisis is coming with the collapse of the dollar and hyperinflation.

This unconstitutional war as once again sacrificed liberty, made us less safe, contributed to the devaluing of our currency, and undermined the constitution. Just one more example how all of our problems come from not following the constitution and too much government. Okay, I'm done now...because I have to go by some gold and silver so I have it when these pieces of paper aren't accepted anywhere.

It also adds 5 lbs to my bodyweight, I trimmed it last night and now I weigh 177.

I haven't shaved (except for my upper lip) since the Steelers vs. Ravens playoff game.....when I looked in the mirror this morning, I felt like half the man I was before shaving.

If you ever type my name without capitals then I will bow my head in shame.

I think your name should be all capitals.

And I only think Obama was a constitutional lawyer so he could learn how to weasel his way around it.

funny you say that Commander, I actually thought I remembered hearing something about in his classes he would teach the students the loop holes and ways around what the Constitution says. (cant provide a source, just what I think I remember hearing)

He taught at Chicago Law School. Don't worry your name will always be capitalized. However, if you see me doing curls or cardio or eating vegetables I must request that you write my name in lower case letter to put me in my place.

Not surprising

Here are some of his thoughts on the Constitution:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iivL4...3E55C4A85EEC72

He outlines his plans around the constitution through the courts and legislatively.

A tornado touched down a few miles from my house, I've always wanted to see one, but I missed it.

It actually did some damage. There was an accompanying hail storm which had golf ball size hail, the hail was pretty awesome.

(still 278 days!)

Monday

Worked midnight shift last night, which meant no time for my morning workout because I had to go straight to my normal job.

Monday is typically Upper Hypertrophy day, with Back in the AM and Chest/Delt over my lunch break, so I did a condensed version at lunch time.

Chinup
BW+6x10, 4 sets - felt great, squeezed and held each rep

T-Bar
155x10, 4 sets - same as above

DB CG Neutral Press
72x10, 4 sets

1 Arm T-Bar Row
75x10, 4 sets

Suspended Pushups
BWx15, 2 sets

1 Arm Cable Pulldown
50x10, 2 sets

1 Arm Pullover

Band Flys, Band Stiff Arm Lat Pulldowns

-----

I am incorporating more unilateral work, because I always seem to get a better pump in my right lat, tricep, etc. I don't feel like I am favoring it, but maybe I do slightly subconsciously due to my nagging pain/injury in my left arm. I also throw in an extra set here and there for my left arm.
