Easier? No. A source of motivation? Absolutely, but only one of many. I'll take motivation from whatever sources I can find, but ultimately the desire to push myself to new heights comes from within.

One workout won't tell you that, but you will certainly find out how painful it is.

I guess it's time to stock up on Excedrin again...

It's been very frustrating, because the problem is on the end of my cable provider, and they can't seem to figure it out. I keep calling and they always say, "Oh, yes! That issue? Our engineers have informed us that the problem was resolved. You should be fine now!" NO! That's happened four times now. Each time they go down their "dummy card" list and force me to perform their usual trouble-shooting steps (anyone who's reasonably proficient with computers and networks knows how frustrating it is talking to level-1 or level-2 support people). After 20 minutes of slowly repeating the same steps that I've been through a million times, the tech support people always proudly exclaim, "Yes--it seems there is still a problem!" With the satisfaction oozing from their voices, one would think they'd just perfected the gravity drive.

 I know exactly what you're talking about!
"Well there's a plug in the back of your cable modem, it's the dark blue box with all the little green lights on it. Just reach back there and pull the plug out and plug it back in... No, didn't work? Okay go to your computer and click 'start' on the bottom left of the monitor, then click 'turn off computer...'"

They are still having problems with their DHCP server, but I figured out that my existing MAC addresses are the ones that can't pull an IP or renew. I spoofed the MACs to be something different and got back on! I called them and finally managed to get a supervisor in their modem support department. I told the guy what I found and they finally confirmed that their DHCP server is having all kinds of issues. Maybe they should pass that info on to their front line techs? Nahhh.

This little dragonfly is very trusting! He landed on my shoulder while I was out back with the dogs and just sat there. I put my hand out and tried to get him to crawl on to it, but he flew off into one of my gardens. I went inside, grabbed my camera and found him again. He let me get right up on him with the camera and posed for some macro shots. Here are a couple of the pictures...

Is it me, or is that thing smiling in the second picture?

I really like those pics! That dragonfly is cool, and the coloring is much different than the ones around here.
I have always had a fascination with dragonflies and helicopters...I guess probably because they look so cool and actually alot alike now that I thought about it.

What an unbelievable back workout tonight! Even though I'm still on my cutting diet, I switched to my bulking split this week so my biceps and triceps are fresh for Friday's workout (the first day of my bulk). Because tonight was a back-only workout, I was able to give 100% and didn't need to "save" anything for my biceps. I added at least 5 pounds to all exercises, did the same or more reps as last week, and added 10 more pounds to my deads. Great workout.
Because I didn't work my biceps directly tonight, they are not pumped in this picture, but I wanted to go ahead and get a "before" picture of my back posted so I can compare my "pre-bulk back" to my "post-bulk back" in a few months. I'm going to be looking to make some big gains in the coming weeks!

That dragonfly looks awesome, and I think dragonfly has to be one of the coolest names for an insect, ever. I just wanted to pop in and wish you guys in Florida good luck in the coming weeks, especially John & Fast...

John. Rear delts have improved 100 times over since the end of your last cut. Three well proportioned delt heads you have now.
Reading that back, that last sentence had a touch of Yoda about it ! Dunno why !
Do well on your bulk you shall !

Hey Guys and Gals of JSF,
I have come back to JSF, yea, everyone’s making great progress, well done to all. John, dude you’re an inspiration, like many others here (its why I have come back to this forum, I need a kick in the behind)
Anyway just wanted to say a big hello from down here in Aussi land, and wish everyone all the best.
Yep Stratus_fear is back, sticking to it for good this time.
I do need the ole help and coaching but I will check our tips section as i remember there was some good starting tips.
Looking forward to changing my lifestyle,
cheers.
Pete
