GymratAnarchist Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi all, my name's Michael. I'm a professor/university administrator/sometime personal trainer. Since my geek and jock tendencies tend to run neck and neck (with geek usually edging out jock...by a good margin, actually LOL) this site is like a little slice of nirvana for me. I've been lifting off-and-on for the last 20 years, really intensely for the last 9. I've also recently started to get into savate, wing chun and jeet kune do. I'd be happy to help anyone with any questions they might have about working out (although I'm sure there are many on these boards just as, or more, qualified than I), or about the intricacies of the Klingon language Looking forward to participating Quote The greatest weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed - Steven Biko Uma coisa é você achar que está no caminho certo, outra é achar que seu caminho é o único (It is one thing to believe you are on the right path; it's yet another to believe yours is the only path) - Paulo Coelho Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/dtayq Link to comment
Alethea Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hey Michael! Glad to have you! I am ashamed to say I recognize none of savate, wing chun and jeet kune do. Thats just sad. When you're not doing secret martial arts, what do you do for fitness activities? If you have any short-term goals you're working on, please feel free to join our 28 day Challenge, starting on the 7th. It's a fun way to meet people and support your wingmen! Quote "Let another say.

rdwagner Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 please feel free to join our 28 day Challenge, starting on the 7th. It's a fun way to meet people and support your wingmen! So just curious, why is it starting on the 7th? Quote Link to comment
GymratAnarchist Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hahahaha, "secret martial arts" is pretty awesome lol. Savate is French kickboxing, wing chun is an offshoot (in a way) of Kung Fu, and jeet kune do is a sort of hybrid martial arts philosophy developed by Bruce Lee. I do those things as an adjunct to my regular lifting schedule (3-5 x week...3 right now as I'm doing a Waterbury full body program after having done a cycle of German Volume Training) and playing soccer and football on occasion. As for goals, I was going to compete in a fitness/bodybuilding show this year and was training for that, but I decided I didn't want it enough to justify the entry fee LOL. THE 28 day challenge sounds fun, I may just do that.

MMyers Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Welcome to the boards, bud. That is a purely WIN picture you have there. rdwagner, the 28 Day Challenge runs for 28 days, obviously, which is four full weeks. The next one starts the week after the first one ended.

GymratAnarchist Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Welcome to the boards, bud. That is a purely WIN picture you have there. Thanks! I was going to go work out at a nearby park, and my buddy, who happens to be a photographer, was around and so I was seized by a moment of vanity and asked him to take pics of my workout LOL Quote The greatest weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed - Steven Biko Uma coisa é você achar que está no caminho certo, outra é achar que seu caminho é o único (It is one thing to believe you are on the right path; it's yet another to believe yours is the only path) - Paulo Coelho Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/dtayq Link to comment
