effyoo Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I just tried the frog as well. I hope i don't have rug burn on my forehead, the guys at work will never let me hear the end of it if i do, especially if i tell them i was trying to do 'the frog'.

wiseguy Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Originally posted by bute i deepfried some chips and left the oil on the stove while i ate them in another room. i heard it burst into flames and ran in to the kitchen to find the entire stove and the area around it in flames. i put water on i then realised that wouldnt work because it was oil burning. so i grabbed a rug off the floor of another room and threw it over the pot then wrapped it up and took it outside and threw it on the grass (my hands got burnt like motherfuckers). by this time the top meter or so of the room was filled with smoke. i went back in and used another rug to smother the rest of the oil still burning. the fire had spread to the exhaust fan and cupboards above the stove so i got the outside garden hose and ran it inside and sprayed all that down. i then realised it was in the roof so i told my sister who kind of stressed out at first to call the fire brigade. i jumped up onto the roof and then one of my neighbours came to help. i got him to pass one of the garden hose up to me on the roof and he took the other one inside to make sure it didnt flare up again. up on the roof i jammed the hose into the flew (where the exhaust fan comes out on the roof) and sprayed all inside there while i ripped of the roof tiles around it where the fire had spread into the roof. i then ripped the flew right out and sprayed everything down with the garden hose. just as i got everything out the fire brigade rolled up. most of the kitchen is fucked and a section of inside the room needs to be replaced. holy shit bute, your a fuckin' champ, good work bro.

Dirty_habiT Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Man, I really don't read the stickies... but I've read the first post on this thread, and I have to say that it's good work. Way to "bring the funk" (although I always thought of funk as stink).... anyhow. Excellent work. Just hearing someone else say how they should be a better person is inspiration enough for me.

MrChupacabra Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 i can do the tucked planche for a good 15 seconds or around there(needless to say i'm shaking the whole time), but for the life of me i never could do L sits or tuck sits and i still can't.

Dirty_habiT Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I got first place on rings and high bar in my highschool "meet".... it took alot of work, but it was fun and challenging. But yeah, I used to be able to hold my legs straight out in front of me for a rather extended period of time, without farting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 since this thread is for self improvement and all id really REALLY love to learn how to dance not so much in the classical sense but so that if i go to a club i dont look like a fool cause the only dance im good at is the white boy shuffle and well, it really doesnt get the ladies going :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest j Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Well I have to admit, it took me awhile before I actually tried the frog.. did it last night and it wasn't as impossible as I thought it would be. It's still pretty hard though! I'll be doing it again tonight for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Originally posted by j it wasn't as impossible as I thought it would be. It's still pretty hard though! it took me a few tries to do it without incident 1st try: remembered tesseracts post and fell on my face laughing 2nd try: farted 3rd try: got up for about 2 seconds 4th try: fell forward and left only to nail my head on my toolbox 5th try: got up for a few seconds ill go try more now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 ^You don't need bars at all... they're there because those were the only pictures I found. Doing it right on the floor is actually much better. Anyone besides Chupacabreezy up to tucked planche level yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest im not witty Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 ive got half ass tucked planches going on. and my pecs and shoulders are aching today thanks to lex dimes exhaustion workout. lets hear the rest of the planche training at you nearest convenience. and honestly, about the dancing thing. i can dance very well, little bit of it all, breaks, electro, jiggy club, dirth south, drum and bass, just gimme a persistant beat..... but theres not really anything i can type in here ala step by step instruction thats going to help anybody get better at dancing. thats one of those things, that you either got or you dont. obviously you can be helped, for at one time, i would never have considered myself a dancer, until a nice asian girl showed me a thing or two about pop locking and all that shit. but again, you need one on one help, i dont think you can READ and learn how to dance. unless its the waltz or some shit that has steps set in stone.

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I got the pushup thing down to a science almost... how do you up the ante on that? Starting from 11? Shit makes the total count go from 55 to 66, which could be brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 mams, do them slower, and more controlled. do them with your feet up on a chair, so your body is slanted downward. do them on your knuckles do them on your finger tips. do them with your arms further out do them with your arms right next to your body, with your hands slightely towards your waist, so more of the strain goes to your triceps. i'll try and get in touch with lex-dimes and see what his 'official' second step is.

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 I think I'm gonna do the slanted thing... that works the upper part of the pecs, where I'm the most scrawny. Fuck the knuckle pushups, those hurt a shitload, I'm not messing with those... for triceps I do tucked planche pushups (which by the way, are part of the next step in the planche training), they're pretty tough. All I want is decent pecs. I'm so flat chested it's not even funny. Everything else I'm very comfortable with. im not witty: Focus on getting a decent tucked planche for 6-8 seconds. Until you got that on lock there's really no point in me posting the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 possibly try doing them with your hands either overlapping or very close to each other in the middle. That seems to make pushups much more challenging for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 ^Oh shit, that's right, diamond pushups!! Pushups while forming a diamond with the thumbs and index fingers on each hand... I remember trying those out and nearly destroying myself, they work the shit out of you. Good call...

yoink Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 man I slept on the pushup thing, I was trying some tonight, including those diamond ones...those were cool but damn that tucked frog is harder than I thought....I was trying it tonight to no full avail.

When Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 it was inevitable tonite me and my friends did lex dimes while drinking every time instead of breathing you take that many chugs of your beer or drink afterr a few sets most everyone was fucked up then we headed off to the bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 i forgot about that diamond hand position too. shit's no joke. try them one handed mams. if you can do 4 of them, you're more of a man than i am. when, that's great. i'm sure lex would be well pleased to know he was getting people hammered while simultaniously gettin swole.
