Workout Routine Update on Profile & in this Post
Dave,
You have very impressive routine and very impressive results. You mentioned the HDD by Lloyd Glauberman, how long have you applied meditation in your routine or daily life. I find that my mind is giving me issue 8 months out. It is becoming harder to concentrate at work, and I find myself wanting to graze during the weekdays, I suppose I am formed a new but bad eating habit since I can no longer overeat at a normal meal, though I do not have this need over the weekends. I am assuming that a better mental attitude would help me curtain this issue. Have you use meditation to sooth a wandering mind or to pump you up for the battle.
Great pictures of your arms and back.

Hi Herb,
Actually, I use some of the more traditional and direct self-hypnosis CD's to get me "battle ready" and then about seven different HDD CD sets to help me with subtle improvement in various areas.
Everyone seems to have different results with the stuff, but from what I can tell, just about everyone benefits from HDD. If you search pretty hard on p2p networks, you can find the Glauberman recording, "the Quest for Excellence". That would be a good one to start with. It's really weird, too. I sometimes feel stoned right after I finish a session, that's how powerful the trance is.
Best Wishes,
Dave
You’re not a recluse, You’re Busy as all He11! Amazing! I was doing so well with my running and once I stopped last summer, I’ve been a bum since. I'm Busy, just not on the exercise beyond my work. I still walk, but get in less than a mile or two every couple of weeks of running…. Just can’t get that mower to crank most days. Keep at it, Don’t stop! That inertia works both ways! Best Wishes- Dx
Hi Dx,
Good luck with that lawn mower, but looks like you're keeping the weight off as it is, that's half the battle. I'm sure part of the question in your case must be "Which is better for me, rest or exercise?"
Ever consider anerobic running or stationary biking? You can start off one month or so with a 10 minute warmup and a sprint or two, then increase by one sprint every 4-6 weeks. The health benefits are supposedly phenomenal. (This is HIIT).
Best Wishes,
Dave
Hi Rob,
Just a quick note while I'm waiting for one of advisees to come in about her career search. (morning here)
Neck is pretty easy to do even while you're watching TV. Don't ask me why I don't. You can just take one or both hands and bend your neck against it, in several directions. Don't strain on the neck for the first few weeks, because pulled neck muscles are terribly painful. Maybe you can begin to exert a little more pressure after a few weeks, but it really doesn't take much. Some people prefer to put a towel around the top of the head and pull.
Side chest? I'd say pullovers, dips and decline bench presses. These work both the sides of the pectoral muscles and the serratus, which are the muscles that look at little like ribs and cover the ribs near the chest and actually function to flex the rib cage.
Best Wishes,
Dave
