I Am Nothing If Not An American
I pledge allegiance
To my home gym
(The one down in the basement)
To the personal progress
And dumbbell stands,
Power rack with safety rods.
It’s incredible.
For deadlifts and squats…for all.
An Inconvenient Blog Post/Rocking The Vote
Long time fans, friends and fellow conservatives realize how hard it is for me to take anything remotely related to Al Gore seriously, but my buddy Jason White submitted a video from his visit to Club Industry East to be considered for airing on “current” TV.
If for no other reason, you NEED to watch it (click the video link above) for the preview of the “ABpuncher” – guaranteed to make ‘shorter time for bathroom problem” (sic) I don’t expect the ABpuncher to be on the market for very long, but what the heck do I know about this stuff?
While you’re hanging around the ‘current’ site, why don’t you take a few extra seconds to give Jason’s vid an “I Like It” vote so we can watch it again on the tube.

Last Minute Shopping Again, eh’ Bub?
Mother’s Day is only a few days away and I’ve been kind of lax on posting lately, so to make it up to you, I scoured the Internet for at least a full 2 minutes (probably closer to 3, but I don’t want to come across as some kind of a liar) to compile a list of birthstones for you rare gift giving types who also happen to read my blog (even MORE rare, indeed).
Apparently, at some point in time (maybe around 1912?) someone decided the ‘traditional’ stones weren’t good enough, so there are modern alternatives… Personally, I don’t understand any of it. What’s wrong with just buying your mom a gift card to Home Depot and a 6-pack of Milwaukee’s Best?
Like anything on the web, there are differing opinions about which gems belong on the “official” list, so each month will have at least two listed.
January – Garnet/Roze Quartz
February – Amethyst/Onyx
March – Aquamarine/Bloodstone/Jasper
April – Diamond/Rock Crystal/Sapphire
May– Emerald/Chrysoprase/Agate
June– Alexandrite/Moonstone/Pearl
July– Ruby/Carnelion/Onyx
August– Peridot/Sardonyx
September – Sapphire/Lapis
October – Opal/Tourmaline
November – Topaz/Citrine
December –Tanzanite/Zircon/Turquoise
Anyway, to minimize any confusion in the future, I have compiled a similar (yet strangely different) list of my own. Feel free to refer to this as the new standard when you just don’t know what else to do.
January – Deadlift
February – Deadlift
March – Deadlift
April – Deadlift
May – Deadlift
June – Deadlift
July – Deadlift
August – Deadlift
September – Deadlift
October – Deadlift
November – Deadlift
December – Deadlift
Happy mother’s day. Mind if I grab a beer from your fridge, Mom?
