One of the things I like about our Semi-Contact Flag Football league and club we have played in for the past year, is for the most part we are all in good shape.And even now, as I struggle to cope with my sideline-saddled injury, I do everything I can to keep my athletic prowess up. I still recall three weeks ago, when the Silent Killer told me not to get depressed, at the fact my weight-lifting ability would drop---and concentrate on low weights. I found that not only does this develop endurance, but it has help me add new character to my exercise routing.
No longer do i run like a hamster on a treadmill, making a play to show off for the random hottie--running her cute little pace next to me, I decided instead to do weird "madcap" shit. That's right, I get on the treadmill and I hold one of those medicine balls and I figuratively imagine that I am a seal, swimming in the dark-blue pacific Ocean, smacking a yellow, and quite weighty ball up in the air with my nose. Stares abound, around the weight room, as I keep up a heart-pumping pace for only a 1/4 of a mile. I then alternate a bicep-tricep extension, with weight suitable for my torn shoulder---at reps of about 30 an arm, making sure the curl has enough added impact for the tricep. Finally, in a frenzied madcap motion I jump, to the decline bench, set it to the highest level and pump out 20 sit ups with my hands supporting my lower back. Rinse and repeat.It is noteworthy, that some of us have athletic abilities of Olympian proportions, and this truly sets us apart from our peers.
Be honest, doesn't it make you feel elite to walk around in public, knowing that the lazy dude in front of you, possesses less physical stamina, endurance strength, and most of all 'heart' for the Love of the game? Do not deny me your elitist feelings, that I know some of you suppress---society and our parents teach us that the road to being a 'good person' is fraught with humility.This my allies, ignores reality and undermines the accomplishments that drive each and everyone of you to wake every Saturday at early hours. The Mastiff applauds you, and wishes you embrace your success with a full tank of self-righteousness, boastfulness, and society's twisted characterization---that misinterprets confidence as arrogance. Bravo Nova!
(As far as the pic---that's living proof you can lose excess fat with NOVA-it was Madcap circa 06 last January. 226 lbs versus 199 now. Man Pentagon City crew had some whack competiton---but part of me misses it)
