Are Japanese walls typically this thin?
Mine are. If there is nothing on TV, just lie back and take in a soap opera.

I presume that you have never been in what passes for an apartment in Japan.
The walls of mine were so thin that I hear the conversations of my next door
neighbors even if they were talking at normal conversational volumes. I am
far from strong (I once ran away from a chick that was dyed pink for
Easter), but I could have very well punched a hole through the common wall.
Ceilings and floors were thin, too. My neighbor's bedroom was right above
mine and every night I was lulled to sleep by the sounds of their fighting
or fucking (sometimes both).
He is training very hardly.

My calloused hands, and your open sore covered
lips have taken their toll on the PHAT GAIGIN SLAB
over the years, Reverend Cash. I'm surprised the
broken sake bottles haven't had the opposite
effect on your puss-oozing-wart infested anus by
now. I mean... shouldn't the warts be making your
bunghole get a little tighter by now?

That's because you're still sticking them in skinny-end first,
dumbass. What the fuck am I? Dr. Ruth? I don't mind teaching you all
this shit, but do try to remember a little bit from one lesson to the
next. And maybe, God forbid, even try to STUDY A LITTLE IN BETWEEN!!!
Could ya do that? Huh? Jesus H. goddamned Christ, sex with you is like
teaching eikaiwa.
I read on WaiWai that you can give the ol' sphincter muscles a bit of extra
grabbing power if you exercise them by squeezing logs.
I pinched a loaf last night. Does that count?
Depends on the loaf. Are we talking the consistency of wonder bread or
freedom bread?
He asked me the other day "what are your objectives"? I didn't realize as soon
as I mentioned my training routine he would get all Oprah Winfrey on me.
French bread that has been left out in the open for a week or so.

I don't know WTF Oprah and I have in common
besides our dieting habits, but I DO know that
your weight training program has the potential to
suck an Extra Strength Hefty-Bag fulla ass.
Here are a coupla free clues -
If you're trying to get stronger:
1. Do your core lifts in the lower rep ranges
(1-5) with your assistance exercises in high rep
ranges (5-25 depending on the exercise.)
2. Rest time: 4-7 minutes between sets
3. Periodize your reps, sets, and weights.
(explanations will cost ya mega-kangarubles at the
closest hostess bar)
4) don't lift to failure
You might want to check out Pavel Tsatouline's
book, Power To The People!. Or not. It has some
information on periodization and wave loading but
it concentrates on just a couple of lifts. Not to
mention that I can't fucking believe that I loaned
you the fucking book for over half a fucking year,
and you STILL come up with a suck-ass routine like
the one you developed for yourself. Perhaps you
need to brush up on your Russian?
You both have PHAT SLABS?
> French bread that has been left out in the open for a week or so.
Freedom loving Americans no longer support the non-aggressive Frenchies so I
wouldn't know.
How do I get stronger if my assistant is helping me?
>2. Rest time: 47 minutes between sets
Isn't that a bit long?
>3. Periodize your reps, sets, and weights.
>(explanations will cost ya mega-kangarubles at the
>closest hostess bar)
I heard you shouldn't do heavy work during your period.
>4) don't lift to failure
nande? I thought that was one of the most important points. Has the general
consenus on this changed since Arnie narowaly beat me in the Mr Universe?

So far my routine is
+ go to the gym monday, wednesday and thursday nights.
+ look at girls
:

+ go home
>Perhaps you

Russian is a bit hard to do in Japan.
(I might have to explain that one to you offline)

Not if you're in Kawasaki and also have 47 yen. (Hi Bryan!)

"Hello, My name's Brett. I'm planning on possibly
starting weight training someday if I have time in
the future. Could someone tell me what to do, and
possibly lift the all the big heavy weights for
me. Thanks."
>>2. Rest time: 47 minutes between sets

>Isn't that a bit long?
Remember the person that told you that there was
no such thing as a stupid question? Fuckin' liar!
>>3. Periodize your reps, sets, and weights.

Get past your catamenia, discomfort, and pain, and
stop just before you reach the threshold of
insanity. It's normal to feel weakness, migraines,
nausea, temporary blindness, hemorrhaging, mild
incontinence, and the urge to curl into the fetal
position.

Arnie had a good "genetics" dealer. You don't. He
also smoked weed on camera while filming the
"Pumping Iron" movie. Hat's off to your fellow
countryman. Austrians have more connections than
NTT.
>So far my routine is
Basically, when I said your routine sucked, you
should have figured that it sucked.

Dude! I tell ya, it's a rip off.
Let's take a look at misc.consumers.frugal-living
again. There's bound to be something more
reasonable to be found there. We really should try
and do it before I get sentenced to Japanese
prison-time though.
If I do get locked up before Thursday would you
please take Alisa to Narita for me? If she doesn't
get to grandma's house on time, the "5 years" that
I'm already facing here in Japan will pale in
comparison to the death penalty that I'll be
facing when I get deported back home.
Compensation has already been arranged for you,
Bro. Being the big spender that I am, I threw in
an extra 3 yen as a tip for ya. You are gonna get
HOOKED UP!
No, the consensus is still to lift to failure, and lift 2 hours a day, six
days a week, as long as you are doing plenty of steriods and have been
lifting weights for a living for many years.
Otherwise, do like Bryan says.
